Atomic Wanderer Chicken Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I can see a moderator's job like a school official at recess making sure kids aren't misbehaving, and if they do they have to sit out for a while. On the other hand, I have never been a moderator, so I really can't say what its truly like. I am sure it is a tough job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of, sort of not, probably the hardest part is seperating your own feelings on the subject matter or individual from the actual process of moderation. You`ll allways get the ones who like pushing things as far as they can get away with, sometimes decisions have to made after consultation. i.e 3 mods must agree before an action can be administered... Good luck to all in the new positions, some of you are gonna need it :p Eric 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Wanderer Chicken Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I run a Facebook page or two, and I have to check it everyday for misuse and spam. I have to decide whether to delete someone's post, decide what is appropriate, and what I dislike most to do is to ban a Facebook fan from the page. Also because you are the administrator of a facebook page, you have to be nice at all times and not get into feuds with someone being a not so nice person.

The Evil Overlord Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Not hard to moderate. Ive done so on other sites. Just takes a little time/commitment and desire to want to moderate and deal with user BS.I have to agree with you, for almost identical reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
