The biggest thing I have personally learnt from my many years at the game is humility. You must put other peoples opinions before your own on 99.3% of the time. A hard ask on most days but it has to be done to keep the place humming..
If you don't have a community atmosphere on your forum then you have nothing...

Yep moderating looks like way too much work, I am instead working on, one day becoming cynical, myself.
It may look like fun campers, but I'm sure the budding moderators out there would soon find its a big committment, and something that only some can do well.

I would say it takes a lot of bribery,intimidation,heavy-handedness, sheer contempt for others, and downright hate (youve gotta have the hate).

But the easy way is what has been said above.

Commitment is a big part for all moderators. Allthough taken lightly sometimes, a large amount of time visiting ALL posts is required. Like them or not, Mods must read everything.

yes agreed, its a lot harder than most think, then when you edit a post, the poster gets angry... sometimes people can post and each member can interpret it a different way...Respect for each other post's is important, even if some dismisses it as irrelevant. .
