Just email operator [at] cs.umn.edu with the class name, session (fall/spring/etc), moderation, and anonymous posting information. Moderation settings include who should be able to delete or alter messages in the forum and if messages should be reviewed before they are visible to all users. Anonymous posting allows users to choose a pseudonym to use in the forum instead of their real name.
Each user who needs moderator access should login to the system to be sure their account exists in the database. This should only need to be done once per account -- it isn't reset each semester.
To moderate a forum with messages held until review just login and go to the forum in question. Then, click on "My Control Center" and then click on Unapproved Messages. You'll also get emails with links when new messages are available to review.
To moderate messages already visible in the forum you can just use the buttons just below messages in the forum. Deleting, Hiding, and Editing are supported. Please only Hide messages if they are from an anonymous user and there might be a need to find out who really posted that message.
