What Do Moderators Do?

Moderators monitor the board and work to keep the Treefrog Forum a pleasant place to enjoy the hobby. The more self-moderating members do the more smoothly the forum runs. Here are some things to keep in mind about board moderation:

• Mods are not online at all times. We do not have nor should we need a moderator swat team for immediate interventions.
• Mods do not read every thread and post and will not see all issues. Member reports are an important part of rules enforcement.
• Mods will act on rules violations when they see them.
• Members should report any post they think is a problem and refrain from any further action of their own.
• Moderators will act in time, and will respond to the reporter with general info on the action. Reported posts are reviewed and the more serious the issue the more likely action is to be delayed to get the wisdom of multiple moderators as they are available.
