How to Make Spheres a Happy Place(tm)

[Cobalt Katze]

Hey everyone, CK here with general notes that I want to mention regarding the forums and how things are progressing as our forum activity continues to grow.

- Please make use of the Report Post button ( ) if necessary. If you see an offensive post or avatar or something fishy pop up on the forums, the fastest way to help get it taken care of in a timely fashion is to let the moderation team (read: me and Kethra) know asap. I try my best to read the forums as much as possible, but I'm not omni-present and this isn't my full-time job. Hence, I may miss some things from time to time. If this is the case, if you bring it to my attention, the forums will continue to be happy

- Feel free to let someone know if you think they're out of line, but please do not flame-bait them or put yourself in a position to risk your own reputation. Since we're a relatively close community here at Spheres (compared to, say, the OVFs), that means we can self-moderate to a degree. But doing so in a friendly manner is always preferred. PMs are also highly useful for this. Especially when one is concerned with keeping threads on topic.

- Behavior and helpitude are valued. I am currently looking for another moderator to add to my team as the forum popularity grows. If you are interested, please let me know. Also, if you have noticed someone that has been especially helpful around the boards, recommending a potential moderator is also very useful to me. I want the best for the community, so feedback is always appreciated!

Thanks! I'll continue to update this thread with new helpful pointers if I come up with them.

Great post Cobalt! Everything seems to be running smoothly so far it's a great community full of great people i know i've been getting help from tons of people heh. If you need me to help you out at all just let me know, Since i can't run Vanguard as of yet you probably noticed i'm around here quite a bit, I don't want to fall behind everyone so when i do get on i can catch up quickly! Anyways i'll do my best to help out as much as possible which is why i'm reading so much

great post Cobalt. I'm pretty new here, but would be happy to lend a hand. Got a few years of experience as an Admin and Moderator at a handful of other forums, as well as a bunch of free time

Love this site.

After 10 days here of compulsive regular visiting, I have to applaud the staff *and* the members - this is a passionate but respectful community which knows how to debate & disagree without turning everything into drama or personal slanging matches.

Long may it continue. :-)
