10 things moderators should NOT do
Posted Tue, 24/03/2009 - 12:25
- See it as a “pass by” work - it takes time and effort
- Link yourself with everyone – you won't be able to handle it
- Dismiss people without warning them clearly beforehand (a “3 strikes and your out” system is preferable depending on the severity of the violations)
- Move, edit or delete articles without communicating, with a valid reason, to the thread starter or the members (depending on the importance for the members) – and always take a screen-shot beforehand
- Accept sexual harassment, defaming, racism or anything else which is clearly criminal
- Allow directly selling of ‘anything’
- Spam members with mass messages or dump large quantities of (irrelevant) content
- Force your views, beliefs, points
- Appear defensive in your posting style
- Appear emotional
