How can a member change his status to Local Moderator ?

Good afternoon and hello from Germany.

I have a little problem with a one of my users.

Since a couple of days his rank changes to Local Moderator.

If i go to "Groups" on his profile, his name shows up in the Local Moderator group

so i always have to remove him from this group.

But he doesn`t show up in the Admin Section.

There are only the mods listed who belong there.

I checked the Security Log and this showed up:

*username* Added the following members to group Local Moderators: *username*

How does that happen, any idea ?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

osnafrank, you have the member group "Local Moderator" set to the type: "Open" - what this means is any member can see and join this group themselves. You should change the group type to either Private or Petition.

You can change this by going to Admin > Members > Member Groups, find the group name and just to the right is the dropdown selector for group type.
