Anyone interested in moderating a particular forum, here's a rundown on what you'll need to do/be aware of:
[list=1][*]Take a look at the forums on the main forums page. You'll also see a listing of who is moderating that forum. At this point, we are limiting moderators to 2 per forum (with some rare exceptions). A forum with less than 2 moderators would be one that is open for consideration.[*]Once you find a forum that you are interested in, fill out the application form link on the Main Forums page.[*] Following are a list of expectations for all moderators:[/list=1]
- In-depth knowledge of the topic to moderate.
- Available to check the boards on a daily basis (as daily as possible).
- Generate conversations when needed.
- Answer questions as able/needed.
- Immediate deletion of any rude or derrogatory posts.
- Redirection of posts to appropriate category as necessary.
You may also be asked to submit a sample of your writing style, topic knowledge and/or links to posts you've written.
That's the gist of how to become a moderator
Anyone interested, please feel free to send me an email and we'll take it from there.
Thanks,
Chris
