Without the moderators Subsim wouldn´t be as friendly as it is now. We had quite a few problematic forum members, most could be convinced to change their behaviour.

Well, Seth is a good example...

Congrats !!

Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. We'll keep him busy.

Who want's to start another Sea****** thread?:rotfl:

Can a mod keelhaul himself?:hmm:

EDIT - Would you look at that, it seems that the forum filter has made that a rude word.

:p

Moderator Guide
Extract from net

When building a community, one of the biggest questions you'll need to answer is this: do you need help to run it? Many times it's a very stressful decision because you'll need to give your moderators just enough power to make or break your community. To help you out, here I've answered questions that you're likely to face as you hire and manage moderators. I realize that there are hundreds of forum software packages, so some questions may be more relevant to your particular situation than others. Ok, let's get started!
Why do you need moderators?

To control your community
You can have the best-looking forum, using the latest technologies, and still easily fail. Why? Because when potential members look at your site, they'll seriously evaluate your current members. If you let members trash the forum and act like delinquents, no one will want to sign up in the future. Moderators are the support beams to your forum. They should have the power to honestly enforce your rules when you aren't around.

To clean your community
Moderators can edit out obscene content posted by forum delinquents, and move off-topic posts into a more appropriate forum. Depending on what forum software you use, there will be a range of other clean-up duties you can assign them.

To create the impression of a stable community
No one wants to move into a high crime neighbourhood in real life -- so why would Web users be any different? By having moderators, you show the visitor that you care enough about your forum to enlist help.
The visitor will see that not only are you committed to looking after the forum, but also to looking after your moderators, and this will create the impression that the community is growing and stable.

To get big posters
A funny thing usually happens when a member is promoted: they post more! If you don't trust me, visit any successful forum and view its members. You'll see the moderators are listed within the top 30 members (at least), and it's no coincidence. They feel proud and want to show off their new title around the forums, so they'll post more to get the extra recognition. They'll also feel the weight of their obligation, which will demand their presence at the forum, and will ultimately increase their posting frequency.

As a current member serving in the Australian Army we have a saying;

"Your not promoted because it's a reward, your promoted because you've demonstrated that you can handle extra responsiblitiy".

Seth, well done my friend, this forum foundation just got a little stronger today.

STEED · 02-02-07, 06:19 AM

Now you done it. Seth will not stop there, next stop world president.

GSpector · 02-02-07, 06:22 AM

Hey Seth,

I was just wondering, do we now have to Salute you

Or can we get away with a little monkey business now that you're promoted.

:rotfl:

IceGrog · 02-02-07, 09:02 AM

Congratulations, Seth!

Hey Seth, what's a "SH3 forum moderator"

joea · 02-02-07, 09:03 AM

You've come along nicely kamarad! Congrats on the promotion!

Safe-Keeper · 02-02-07, 09:09 AM

By all means, put a guy who's been banned twice into moderator duty:p.

Congrats, _Seth_.
