Title: Tips On Being a Moderator
Post by: D on August 17, 2005, 10:24:39 PM
Since I think you all here are the best moderators I've ever come across, I need some tips.

I have been elected a moderator over at www.2ksports.com

a month ago I got banned for 2 weeks and today Im a mod, go figure

anyhow

I need some tips on merging threads,moving topics

when to know when to lock a thread and all that

and God forbid I have to ban someone and If I do, I am giving them a little Axl from Rock in Rio 3 before I do it.

being a mod is great, I can feel my head swelling with power :hihi: :hihi:


Gotta go ban some folks, but any pointers will be appreciated.

Its just basically common sense. Youll know its time to lock a thread when it happens.

Make them agree that you are the ruler of the universe...one last chance to do so, or be banned forever.

That's what I do with my kids anyway......

Exactly. It's really not that complicated.

As far as banning people, it depends how the forum is set up, but if you're only a mod there's a good chance you won't be able to ban anyone.

Damn it, unfortunately I cant ban People

There is a guy with over 6,000 posts who is number 1 in posts on that board who I absolutely despise

wouldve been worth losing my mod job over just to ban him and take away all his posts :hihi:

I've had a great first day

Ive moved,locked,merged,deleted I dont know how many threads

I never knew it was this tough being a mod.

But I dig it!

Just do whatever you think is best for the forum. No matter what you do there will always be users who think what you've done is wrong and will complain and call you a nazi or a commie - or both. You're never going to keep them all happy so just do what needs to be done. You'll get the hang of it.

I just pray to the lord Jesus Christ, they D never become a Moderator on GNR forum - he probably would block SLC..... but I actually think he secretly likes arguing with him about everything.
