I learnt one BIG thing when moderating a forum <br /> <br />Don't jsut show up, lay the law down, then dissapear. <br /> <br />You have to be at one with the members, be online every day, talk with them, and become there friends. <br /> <br />You lay the law down only when you have to and people will understand you better, because they have had a chnace to know you, and to understand what is appropriate/inappropriate. <br /> <br />Don't just show up, bant off on a few people, then retreat (no offense Erik) and wait for somebody else to missbehave <br /> <br />An admin or Mod has to be present pretty much all the time, and be friends with the people of this site and getting to know people very well, people don't have such a terrible backlash when it becomes time to lay the law at that point.
