(These are my opinions, not necessarily MJ’s.)if you are a moderator on this forum - what are some of behind-the-scenes challenges that need to be addressed?
Behind-the-scenes challenges for moderators that need addressed:
1) Spam, and disguised spam.
2) People doing deals with each other then blaming the place where they met if things go south. Make sure people know to do their own due diligence.
3) Bullying, especially where a mob develops.
4) Unscrupulous people faking it to reel in people and their wallets.
5) Staying an impartial and supportive member who doesn’t add petrol to the flames but moderates instead.
6) Representing the values of the founder in actions and words.
7) Encouraging people to contribute.
8) Trying to not be dogmatic, and helping people find their own way instead.
I’m sure there’s more.
Oh boy. How to summarise this.What kind of users should be avoided?
1) Spammers ruin a community super fast.
2) People talking AT everyone instead of participating in the community don’t do well, but communities often ignore or self-regulate.
3) People who knock others down to make themselves look or feel better.
4) People using a community for lead gen.
5) People who don’t follow community rules.
6) People who can’t help but have flame wars or who make debates personal.
I think common sense prevails here.
