Moderator Rules

How to be a good moderator

Moderating a forum gives you power and, along with that power, responsibility. Your aim as a moderator is to use your powers for the benefit of the community. This thread describes the things that you have the power to do and the things you should keep in mind as you moderate.

Moderators have the power to:

• Delete posts
• Delete threads
• Move threads to other forums
• Edit the rules for a forum
• Freeze Account for 2 weeks or banned user (A detailed reason of banning is required.)

As a forum moderator, you are expected to:

• Check the forum at least 2-3 times a week
• Work for an active and pleasant forum
• Help new users on the forum to join the community
• Move messages that have been posted on the forum that you moderate but should have been posted on a different one
• Delete messages that are off-topic, racist, sexist, insulting or contain or link to illegal content.
• Respect the opinions of others when they differ from your own; you should never delete a post because you disagree with its contents
• Inform the ADMINISTRATOR if you find any problems or bugs in the forum
• Inform the ADMINISTRATOR as soon as possible if you do not want to moderate a forum any more.

All actions performed by moderators will be logged to prevent abuse of power. Moderators will lose their status if they are found to be abusing their power.

If you find out a moderator is abusing his/her power, please report him/her to Max Goh or Simmon
