Removing Event I created or Changing Event Name

I created an event (https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1094474) , but forgot to add the "Race 1" to it like these (https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?s=2021&l=4489)

I can't find any information in Contribute or on the forums about how, as the creator, I can modify the event name OR delete the event to create it correctly. Please advise?

Best,
Jason

Removing events are only allowed to moderators. Done!

That's silly. Clearly we should allow anyone on the interwebs to delete all of our work haha.. Makes sense!

Thanks for the help!

How does one become a moderator?

For instance, I'd like to update the teams and drivers for 2021, but would rather not have to bother a moderator for those changes.

Cheers,

Moderators are appointed after a certain amount of time and experience.

You don't need to be a mod to do 95% of the sites functionality. For example to change a teams driver, simply edit the driver and select a new team or move them to the _free agent or _retired team. If you can't find the driver, then just add them from as a new "Add Player" on the team page.

The only things mods can do more than anyone else is delete events really. Everything else should be available to all users.

EDIT: I know its messy looking and needs a lot of work but I updated the contribute guide a little

Thanks for the info. I'm new to contributing, so I just want to make sure I follow best practices and do things correctly/as expected. It doesn't help you all if someone comes in and does things that require more work on your side, haha (i.e. I will be more careful with event creation in the future).

Thanks!
