| Title: Apprentice Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 157 Location: WebmasterGround.com ![]() | How do I find moderators for my forums??? I run several forums and it is becoming increasingly difficult to moderate all of them. I am looking for moderators to help me. I can't pay anybody to do the job. If there is anyone interested in helping, please let me know. Otherwise, do you guys have any ideas on how I can find unpaid moderators? | ||||

Give them some sort of privilege, a special badge, a different colored username, etc. Those are just the basic things. What are the requirements you want to have in place for your moderators? How will you pick the best from the rest?

If you can't find anyone in your forums that would be suitable then maybe post in forums like here, sitepoint, dp, etc.

If I can manage everything on my own, I don't have moderators to start with. I choose them based on how often they post, if they can debate things while keeping civil as well as not demeaning to other members. You want someone who is on there a lot anyways as it won't be any added work if they're already on there a lot. My general time line is 1 moderator for every 100 to 500 members (depending on post count from members) | ||||
