> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > Which makes sense–the problem is that it’s not in an obvious place that one would look, if one isn’t familiar with VBulletin. So including something in the FAQ thread(s) that tells you where to look could be very useful. It’s already there. In the thread called “FAQ - Technical issues for Posting” in ATMB (currently the top sticky in the forum), the 15th item (“Contacting the staff directly”), which was added by **Twix** about six weeks ago, reads as follows: > [@FAQ - Technical issues for Posting](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/faq-technical-issues-for-posting/369482/14): > > Most questions can be answered in the FAQs of this forum, or by posting a question here. > > Sometimes, however, you need to communicate directly with an administrator or a moderator — to request a name change, for instance, or to request permission to start a thread that you think might be skirting the rules. > > For name changes and other logistical business, contact an administrator. As of June 2010, the administrators are **CKDexterHaven, Gaudere, Gfactor, Lynn Bodoni**. and **TubaDiva**. > > For a question about posting or other activity in a particular forum, contact the moderators of that forum. These moderators are listed in the bottom right-hand corner of the forum page. > > A full list of administrators and moderators, with their forum assignments, can be found [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showgroups.php).
