As Webmaster-Talk continues to grow, more moderators will be needed. We are looking at this time for someone in the future. If you have interest in being a moderator, please PM me.
Before sending that PM, please continue reading!
There are several factors used for choosing a moderator. - Post count A low count suggests that one is still new to the forum. Even though a high post count does not speak of quality, it does show that one has been around and/or interested in the forum.
- Quality of posts All posts are not created equal. A high post count of one word posts is not quality. Quality is the matter of the material written in the post. Good quality is one that has helped the other readers.
- Content of posts Answers to questions, or questions that stir interest is desired. Having content that abides by the rules is desired, in other words, not SPAM posts or inappropriate links in the posts.
- Experience Moderating experience is not needed, but experience around webmastering is needed.
Don't send that PM yet!
Mod duties include, but are not limited to: - SPAM Cop It's ever present, and needs dealt with.
- Editing & deleting posts Inappropriate posts need to conform to the rules.
- Nurturing forums Take care of your forums for which you're responsible. From answering questions, or helping to find answers, to asking questions, to developing polls. Help your forum to grow in a professional manner.
- Good conduct Maintaining a professional and courteous demeanor is crucial to the growth of the forum.
- Time Being a mod does require your time of being here.
This is not all inclusive, but is a guide for you to think about when considering being a moderator at Webmaster-Talk. If this sounds like something you would consider volunteering for, then please PM me.
Thanks for your time.
