Anger Management - the Art of Forum Moderation

The Mini Mod - Members that govern a thread as if they were mod assistants. Though altruistic in gesture they sometimes make suggestions that tend to benefit only themselves. However, most of the time the suggestions they make help alert the mod to troubles in a thread.

Moderating Styles

Moderators have their own styles when dealing with infringements on forum codes of conduct. Though it is their job to uphold forum rules, each mod has a unique perspective as to how often and to what extent they impose their position on members. Some of them are forum specific moderators and others are global moderators. The latter having the ability to moderate the whole forum. Lastly, administrators who have ultimate control of the forum and appoint and control moderators. The following are nicknames for mods.

The Softie - These guys or gals rarely give warnings. They pleasantly participate in threads and leisurely interact with members of all sorts, one often wonders why they're moderators at all.

The Heavy - Moderators that regularly patrol the forum in jackboots. They love to dish out reminders and warnings like it were candy. Though rare, these type of moderators command respect. Sometimes they create more friction than was originally planned.

Neutral Jones - Mods that see things from varied perspectives. You never know whose side they will be on. Mostly, by playing it safe, they remain neutral.

Partial Patriarch - All moderators have cultural and political backgrounds that affect the way they moderate to some extent. Some like to show it more than others. The Partial Patriarch has no qualms about who he or she is. These type of moderators can be a softie, neutral or a heavy also. They tend to side with members of commonly shared perspectives.

The Sabbatical - Mods who periodically show up for duty and then leave for more important things to do in life; a well deserved break from the rigours of moderating. When the do show up they're often out of touch and make many mistakes. When they're gone we often wonder if they will ever be back.
