How do I pick a moderator?

Don't rush to make just anyone a moderator. Look for someone that has a special interest in the workings of the site. Look for members that show consistency, responsibility, and knowledge in the topic of your site. To learn how to promote someone to moderator, go to the Change User Permissions page in the FAQ section.

Why do sites need moderators?

Moderators help manage and guide the community in addition to creating content for the site. Moderators can delete pages, lock pages from being edited, and move and reorganize pages on the site. Since those changes can make a big impact on how the site looks and reads, it's best if only those who are highly invested in the site serve as moderators. Moderators can also promote members of the community to new roles, and ban disruptive users from the site. Find out more about moderating Wetpaint sites in the Moderating Guide.

So on my site, there was just this user who made 444 threads in rapid succession all the same. He or she added a thread to that many pages. I have already banned the user, but is there some efficient way to remove it all or must I manually delete each of the 444 threads? All help is appreciated.
