Effective Tips to Become a Forum Moderator

Here are more tips to becoming a good forum moderator.

1. Second User Accounts
Users watch their moderators as moderators monitor their users and they will point out any significant error or violation against the rules that moderators make. Having a separate account allows you to commit these errors while using your moderator accounts to make sure all forumers follow the board rules.

2. Forum Rules
Any rule could be used in a forum, but you could lose followers if you do not use clear and definite ones. Make sure that you create definite rules about unacceptable forum activities or behaviour. Define uncertain or ambiguous words, such as being “sociable” or “decent” online.

3. Avoid the Peer Rating System
Leave the user rating system to your co-moderators. Many users and groups may take advantage of the rating system and increase the points of their friends and when someone gives them a negative point, they might attack the person with a firestorm of negative rates.

4. Violations
It is very important that you do not delete the violating post of a user and move it to only where you and your co-moderators could see. Archive any offensive or inappropriate material in a database. This allows you and your co-moderators to trace a pattern of bad behaviour and you could use it to explain your actions to the entire forum community.
