Forum Moderation Service We will visit your forum daily (five days per week) and delete spam, edit urls out of articles, or generally just keep posts up to your standards. Including moving threads etc. Our moderators are experienced with Vbulletin, phbBB, and IPB forums, if you have a different forum model, you may need to show us around. Prices vary per forum, please send your URL and offer via PM. Forum Moderators are friendly, real people, on average you will receive about 1 post per day, however this is NOT a posting service. If you are in need of content, posting, or other services, feel free to ask in PM.
Juls, Thanks for interest, I have been doing this for friends and on a referal basis now for a while and have a few people now that work with me. This is my first such offering here at DP. I understand that a one size fits all program is not the best way to go about this type of service. Each forum is different and has different requirements. If you PM what you would like to have done, I will assure you I will be very reasonable.
I am also curious about this service please let us all know a ballpark figure whether it is based on total members, average online members, average posts per day, etc. I think this information will get alot more people intersted in your service.
You right about the example so I will show you one here that we are currently doing. Please understand that I will come and look at your forum and discuss any options and price specifically based on your forum, traffic and amount of time that will be needed to what you want done. We set up only one account at your forum for this service so you can easily monitor our work. (Unless otherwise agreed to do different) One of the current forums I(we) do is fairly active and has ~3000 members. It is PHPBB 2 so spam is a daily thing. For $150 a month we came a minimum of 5 times a week and deleted spam only. Not real active. Currently at $250 a month at this forum and delete spam, move threads to right categories, active in banning spammers IP, name and email addy, deleting spammers account totally and the possible post since we are involved a lot more. We do not guarantee posts. My partner and I have experience currently and in the past in running VB, PHPBB and IPB forums. You will get experience and since we can't help it , advice on things that will hopefully help your forums. If interested PM your forum URL and we can meet in IM and discuss your specific needs.
I've talked with my partners, and this is where we're at: The average forum is going to start out at about $35 per month, generally paid via a PayPal subscription. For forums that require A LOT of attention, we may have to discuss different pricing options, however generally, since we have decided to offer this service professionally, you won't likely see a price over $75. When it comes to pricing, the size of the forum and how many posts a day it gets will definately come into play.. as will how much time our moderator is actually spending deleting, banning, moving etc. Hope that gives you a better idea.. feel free to PM any questions
Yes thanks for informing us all this sounds like a great service I dont really need it at this current time but I may need it soon do too heavy spammers. Thanks
