As a Talk City Room Owner, you have extensive control over your chat room and message board. This page will help you set things up the way you want.

Giving Ops

You can modify the privileges of a member quickly and easily by searching for them in "Set Privileges" in your control center, and choosing the member from the search result. You can search on a variety of attributes. Fill in just the items you want to search on and press Search. Once you find the name, click on it, to bring up the administration screen. You'll see checkboxes for Chat Moderator and Forum Editor.

Assistant Manager - the 2nd in command. Assistant Managers can do all the things a Wizard can do except add or remove other Assistant Managers, and change a Forum's public/private status.

Forum Editor - message board moderators. They are able to edit/delete all messages, manage discussions, promote discussions and gag/lock-out members. Editors may not use the Control Center.

Chat Moderator - the guiding force behind successful conversations. Can use the chat moderator commands but cannot access the Forum's control center.

Mark the appropriate box, or both, then click on apply at the bottom of the page. Let your new op know that you've given them controls, make sure you've given them your rules for moderating, and ask them to log out of Talk City close their browser, then log back in again, for the changes to take effect.
