Forum Moderators; who they are and what is their role?
Who are Forum Mods?
Process used to find Forum Moderators:
When new Forum Moderator's are needed I usually go through a process in finding an eligible cadidate. It's very important that a Forum Mods reputation is clean. When I usually go about finding new Forum Mods i'll sift through the forum and find users who post on-topic, and who use the forum Report Abuse feature to help us in finding rule breakers.
Forum Moderator tools:
Forum Moderator's have a huge responsibility. They can use the Admin Control Panel, and the Mod Control Panel. Within the Admin Control Panel Forum Moderator's have the ability to ban users unlimitidly, send warnings, send mass messages, and review all of a users posts. Within the Mod Control Panel Forum Moderator's have tools that assist them in reviewing Forum Reports. Forum Moderator's have the ability to edit, remove, delete, lock, or sticky any threads or posts and delete any polls if necessary. Forum Moderator's are trusted completely.
Criteria for Forum Moderator recruits:
Their is no 100% criteria to become a Forum Moderator. I usually look at amount of posts, online time, Forum Reports, grammar, maturity, and the personality of the user through their posts. It's important that Forum Moderator's are mature, and respectful to everyone. Forum Mod's are vital to keeping this website running properly and without them it'd be almost impossible.
