Yes. I am interested.

This might look very weird or strange or wild in the very first thought. Hold on your conclusion until the end of this post.

I would propose Cookie as moderator for GN section. Hold on a second before jumping with his excellent suspension/banned record!! It gives tough competition to Zohaib's record but both are completely of two different natures.

Cookie is passionate about GN, may be a bit sensitive too, or shall i say over sensitive? Whatever it might be, there is no denying that he is good at heart, there is absolutely no doubt that he will be able to perform his job as GN moderator quite well. And, with additional responsibility, he might be more rational. This additional responsibility might make him more matured .. and if you look at most of his banning/suspension reasons, it were all instigated.

Aise Manoja also had a good track record of banning and definitely he is doing excellent as moderator. Saurabh was suspended too for quite long time. I know these two cases as I requested IGRM to lift their suspension. So if Manoja and Saurabh can perform an excellent impartial duty, I expect Cookie to do well. Lets start with a Provisional position like 3 month probation period. What do you say?

PS:
1. I have some other priority at the moment and I am not interested for the moderator role, at-least NOW or in near future. But as always, will try to make IREF better as usual.

2. Moderators, give it a thought before deleting the post. If it violate IREF policy, go ahead and delete it... but you do not agree with the idea does not mean policy violation

Thank you ..)

I can't explain the reasons but my replies speaks about it, volunteering with moderation requires investing time with concrete and stuffed information which I can do.

IREF Moderation: Looking for Moderators

Dear Members,

The effective moderation of a successful forum takes a great amount of discipline and ability.

We at IREF are looking for volunteers who can function as Moderators for various "City Sections” as well as other categories of the forum.

Members are encouraged to recommend nominees whom they think would be suitable for the position. We will also conduct a POLL once the recommendations are shortlisted. While recommending, please explain why you have nominated that person.

The Moderator's Role:

General Presence - As an IREF moderator, you are expected to not only enforce the rules, but to also follow them, and be 'role models' of good forum etiquette and behavior. IREF Moderators should be polite, helpful, and considerate. Whether participating in the forums or acting in an administrative capacity, moderators should always remain professional and polite in their actions and comments.

As a moderator, you would need to demonstrate an excellent grasp and respect for the forum's rules, have sufficient experience with the ins and outs of the forums, spend an above average amount of time in the forums, and have shown the personal qualities that are desired in a good Moderator - friendliness, approachability, and a desire to help the members of the forums enjoy their time here. You should strive to keep these qualities as a Moderator.

Your actions on IREF should always be made with the best interests of IREF in mind. Keep the forum clean, keep the forums fun, and be good 'role models' of behavior and respect for all of the members and their opinions.

As a Moderator, you will find yourself in tough positions. Should you ban someone, or give them a warning shot? Should you enforce a guideline even though it’s only a small transgression and it probably wasn’t intentional, or should you let it slide so that you don’t appear tough, dictatorial, and uncompromising? For each situation and community, the approach the moderator takes will differ.

If your goal is to fill an ego-based need like status or popularity, you probably won’t make a good moderator.

A good reason to become a moderator is that you love helping people and are looking for an outlet to contribute. Great moderators are active in their forums, and they love seeing their communities’ blossom. An active moderator has tremendous influence over the type of community that evolves. If there’s anything you’ll get out of being a moderator, it’s that you’ll build stronger communication and leadership skills.

Tasks will be:

- Assist people who need help within your specific field
- Keep an eye on postings made in your category, and remove inappropriate messages if necessary
- Assist people who need help within your specific field
- And of course, create postings on things of interest to others!

What does moderation involve?

-Basically you check the forums at least twice a day and use the built-in moderation functions to handle any problems that come up. In some cases, you’ll automatically receive an email whenever a forum member reports a problem, so in many cases you’ll be alerted to problems before you even visit the site.

-Your privileges may include the ability to delete, close/re-open, and move threads and posts. You may also be able to send private messages to members.

-Depending on how many qualified people apply to be moderators and how popular the forums become, we could have multiple moderators per forum or multiple forums per moderator.

If you decide you no longer wish to moderate, you can quit at any time. We just ask that you give me reasonable notice (two weeks would be great) to find a suitable successor.

If you'd like to be a moderator, simply reply to this Topic.

Tell us a bit about yourself, and what you think qualifies you to work. This would include any references or credentials you might have when it comes to moderating experience. Not having experience will not necessarily exclude you, so please don't be discouraged!

All the Best,
Administrator

Well, moderator positions.. traditionally and all across the internet.. are filled by those already active in the community they are 'hired' to moderate.. That's pretty much the only hope (time tested) online communities have for having good, active, and fair moderators. They must be ingrained in the community already, not because they have taken a position that requires it.

So, ideally, no - members are not required to spend more time here than they already do, only to use their time differently.

This is the choice many many people out there make when they request moderator positions. They know it is voluntary, but they have a vested interest in the good of the community and generally either just want to give back, help make it even better, or just.. be involved in something.

Further, many successful online communities are started by those who have moderating experience in the past, as they become familiar with the software used and community management as a whole.

Should anyone feel over burdened or lose interest, that is okay too, sometimes the moderator group can be rather fluid.. but over time a core group is usually built that stays around for the better for a while, since they are here anyway.
