Room Moderators
Room moderators are the chatroom members whose nick appears with a badge at the top of the rooms list. (The badge is a "@" if you connect through an mIRC script.) They help keep the chat going and help protect the community from members who abuse the room and/or server(s).
Room mods can kick (remove) users who violate chatroom policies. This includes, but is not limited to, displaying nudity, harrassing other users, flooding, being a minor, and/or repeatedly ignoring conduct-related requests and warnings. They can also ban repeat and/or serious offenders.
So You Want to be a Room Moderator?
With the "power" of being room mod comes certain responsibilities. While the allure of being able to kick and ban may seem alluring, there are certain expectations that CamChat.org has of its room moderators:
- Greet Users as they come into the chatroom. Make them feel welcome. Get them involved in the current conversation threads.
- Help Users with the cam and chatroom applets.
- Protect Users from users who do not follow the CamChat rules of conduct. Do not allow users to be harrassed.
- Set an Example for conduct in the chatroom. Remember, room mods represent CamChat.org. Unruly conduct only tarnishes the image that CamChat.org would like to portray.
- Monitor the Cams and remove users who are displaying inappropriate images.
- Be Friendly! Camchat is a place where people should have fun meeting and talking to other people. Keep the chats going and growing!
How to Become a Room Moderator
Be there! :-) Room moderators are generally chosen from the regular users of the site who already exhibit the leadership qualities listed above. Don't "Op Beg"... if you can show that you can take the responsibilities seriously, the room owner will take notice.
If you have any questions, come on into the chatroom!
