Being a Good ModeratorThis is a featured page

What is a good moderator?

A good moderator is someone who makes the right choice in various situations. Good moderators should be able to keep the site under control and in order. Moderators should have a good reputation throughout the site and should be friendly/helpful to users. If users ask a good moderator a question then they will answer it politely trying to make sure that they have covered all aspects of that answer.

How can I become a good moderator?

You can become a good moderator by making sure that you deal with different scenarios correctly (i.e. warning or banning someone for being abusive to users). Good moderators should do their absolute best when answering questions in threads. A moderator will also make page edits to make sure the Wetpaint Wiki content maintain a high level of quality.

A moderator broke the rules, what should I do?

If a moderator broke the rules then you should contact an administrator or the creator of the site. They will deal with the situation for you. You can check if a rule has been broke by viewing the Terms of Service. However, keep in mind that some rules may vary from community to community as each site has it's own standards for what is considered appropriate.
