About moderators

Moderation is very important. This site needs to be a safe place for everyone. The more subscribers and posts, the more moderators you’ll need. Make sure you have moderators in all timezones, so if bad stuff is reported in your community, it doesn’t need to sit there until you’re off work… As the community grows, add even more moderators.

Reports

A moderator will receive reports for reported content in their community. (The admins will receive a copy of all reports in all communities). Please resolve the reports according to the site rules and community rules, as soon as possible. If reports are open for too long (more than 24 hours), the admins will contact the moderator(s). If this keeps happening, the moderators might be replaced.

These guidelines are under construction. Please check back after a few days, hopefully it’s more complete ;-)

    I was never a mod on Reddit, but I was around that site for a very long time. I’ve seen plenty of examples of both good and bad moderation. I’m still new to figuring this out for myself, but I have a pretty good idea how to conduct myself.

    And if I make a mistake I just say “oopsie poopsie” like I’m a simpleton /s
