Nairaland General › What Makes A Good Moderator? by manmustwac(op): 12:03am On Oct 05, 2009 |
After going through the topic Nairaland Needs Moderators Urgently and reading poster 49 by Redman44 who said this @ Aspiring Moderators and Assistants
Moderating on Forums is not a child's play. Apart from all the rules Seun Osewa has laid, you have to be very knowledgeable to keep the threads fresh. It is not just about holding the position, and banning and unbanning posters or contributors. A moderator has to constantly conceive new ways to keep a thread going. He or she must be able to come up with new angles and approaches to the issue being discussed. Good internet and archival research skills should be a virtue of Nairaland Moderators. Moderators should also be able to present their ideas clearly and possess good writing skills. I'm not saying you have to be another Wole Soyinka to be a good Moderator, but you've got to be good with words. A Moderator must also be able to edit posts and urge posters to come up with new angles to the information they provide.
Nairaland is growing in leaps and bounds and there are many foreigners travelling through the site. Seun, you need to get quality Moderators if you want to get solid investors. If you care to know, your site was discussed recently on the Jubilee Line on the London Underground recently.
I feel aspiring moderators should go to www.gumtree.com and check the site's forums. Look at how Bluey and Montezuma are doing their thing as Gumtree forum moderators. You can learn a thing or two from them. Have a nice weekend. Cheers. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-322421.32.html#msg4527943As Nairaland's newest moderator (monday 5th of October is my 8th day to be precise) i can honestly say that i can't boast of any of the above (apart from being on nairaland about 400 days a year) but i've taken note of the points made by redman44 and i'm working on them. So to all you aspiring moderators out there i want you to say why you want to moderate? How you'll improve Nairaland if your selected? And What Makes A Good Moderator?  A good moderator should be: 1) a good referee (not let personal feelings or sentiments get in the way when making decisions to ban delete move etc)? 2) a regular contributor (spend a minimum of 45 minutes on nairaland everyday and have a minimum of 5 posts everyday? 3) a good communicator (someone with good writing skills)? 4) somebody who is knowledgeable about the section he/she is moderating (and be passionate about the job)? 5) somebody who always participates in new threads (if no one else dose) and is very creative in keeping good threads alive (to stop them dieing prematurely)? |

loleeta199: thanks to all ,is there any one who experienced this situation? Didn't you hear about the man who tried to blackmail David Letterman (a popular american TV host) who was having affairs with some his staff? Letterman set up the blackmailer when the ransom was due and the blackmailer was arrested |
Family › Re: Spanking Can Lower You Child's Iq by manmustwac(m): 9:10pm On Oct 03, 2009 |
Well i went thru a traumatic childhood when i was a child and that was mainly because i was left handed and having a very harsh father from delta state didn't help matter either.  All the beating i had didn't make become right handed but maybe it did have an effect on my I Q coz i have to admit am not the brightest person.  |

Christianity Etc › Re: Nigerian Pastors Are Shameless by manmustwac(m): 8:47pm On Oct 03, 2009 |
huxley: True - in fact, down my street here in Manchester, there are two Nigerian Pastors within 100m of each other. Each time I walk in down town Manchester, in areas with high African population I get given tracks, leaflets, fliers of churches, ministries, healing this, miracle that, by Nigerians. London is even worse. We must have at least 10 churches on the old kent road alone (they include Christ Embassy and RCCG) Nigerians are making all unused buildings into business centreschurches its so sad  |
