Family Room Moderator required - found someone

[Mark]

Hi

Are you able to help out in the Family Room areas of the forum? Unfortunately our wonderful Family Room Moderator is having to hand over the baton to someone else due to other commitments so we're looking for someone to fill their space. Moderating involves:

Keeping the place tidy; moving non-family posting elsewhere on the forum, changing titles that have been posted in capitals, deleting repetitive commercial posts etc.

Stepping into discussions if they have been reported by users

Stepping into discussions if you believe they're getting out of hand or to remind people to be good and follow the forum rules. This is optional but allows you to steer the Family Room in the right direction.

Helping the Administrator with the odd bit of general forum housekeeping.

Generally keeping the Family Room the great place that it is.

This is a purely voluntary position and is very relaxed ie you help when you can but it's the chance to help be a part of the East Dulwich Forum. If you're interested please send me a Private Message

Thanks

Mark

ps and a big thank you to the departing Family Room Moderator, you really have helped the Family Room become what it is.

[Family Room Moderator]

Thanks Mark.

Just wanted to add that moderating the family room has been fun, and is not hard work. I can't keep doing it, as I have other commitments coming up that mean I probably won't be able to check the forum very often. I'd suggest that a regular user of the family room will easily be able to keep the place tidy in the time they already spend on the forum.

Do also feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss - no commitment.

Cheers, and thanks everyone for making the family room such a kind and supportive place

Stepping into discussions if you believe they're getting out of hand or to remind people to be good and follow the forum rules. This is optional but allows you to steer the Family Room in the right direction.

Although it should be pointed out that the moderator should remain unbiased, just as the current FRM has done.

[Mark]

Yes, thank you Keef, although it is recognised that moderators do have opinions and that can help steer the forum in the right direction, just as the current FRM has also done.

[Keef]

Yes of course, and I wasn't trying to be funny. I just think it is good the way the FRM has used a seperate login for Moderation, so they can still post as "themself". It keeps the moderating bit nice and seperate, and stops people from pointing fingers at the individual.

I can think of one or 2 I'd definitely nominate.

[helena handbasket]

Have you considered doing it Keef? I think you would be great.

[Keef]

Ha, could you imagine?

I ca't really see that being allowed, but thank you for the vote of confidence. Equally I think you'd be very good.

[Mark]

No need to assume you wouldn't be allowed Keef, the offer's open to anyone who wants to help out, however some people have offered their services so I'll be contacting them today and hopefully we'll have someone helping out soon.
