The Exhale Moderators Team:
- The Exhale Moderators Team are members who dedicate their time to moderate the forum. They are here to preserve order, keep things organized and most importantly... help you if you are in need.
- Please treat moderators with the utmost respect and kindness!
- If your topic/post has been edited or deleted by a moderator, respect that. If you have a question, reach out and respectfully ask for clarification.
- If you are facing any kind of problem, send a private message to one of the moderators to discuss it (versus airing out your dirty laundry in public).
If you need to send a private message to a moderator, please use this link.

While it is encouraged to report any rule breaker within reason, try not to misuse the report button. Do not report anything unless it is actually worth reporting - this includes (but is not limited to) topics that have already been locked.
