The main roles of our moderators are:
- To approve first posts by new (and not trusted) users, and check new users against a database of known spammers.
- To provide assistance to users who have not mastered the user interface of the forum.
- To take corrective action when inappropriate content is posted, or when a user breaks one of our rules.
- To provide technical assistance to users, where appropriate.
- To participate in background chats regarding forum policies and technical matters.
- We aim to do almost no actual "moderation".
If you are interested in helping out, then send me a PM with any questions and any points in your favour that we should take into account.
