Questions about Moderators Does anyone happen to know what is involved to become a Moderator & what the forum pays a moderator ?
I do not know about DP - but the forum that I am a moderator on does not pay me. It is purely volunteer. And, I was invited to do it by the forum administrator.
wiki.answers.com/Q/What_makes_a_good_forum_moderator Pays depends on forum size and other factors (not every forum pays though). DON.
If The Forum is referring to DP then each mods gets a free premium account which is a pretty good deal. Before this it was a free unpaid hard labor Good to the mods though for doing their work without whining too much. Its not easy to be a mod.
Normally you get asked if you're a good contributer to the community. You also should be honest, reliable and able to weigh up an argument. I Super Mod at 3 different forums and I've been approached by the Admin in all 3 cases.
involvement /contribution in forum is needed usually start up forums pays for mods as it needs promotion contribution more at the initial stage
