What are your community moderator responsibilities?
Thank you.
Absolutely. Wouldn't be a staff member of ForumCoin if I did not enjoy it or I didn't think the community has a lot of potential.
Duties: Removing Spam, Encouraging high quality posting, Moving Topics/ Posts, Making suggestions and generally helping members on the forum (especially when they have questions in the ForumCoin discussions area).

... and I did investigate starting something up again (with a lot of lessons learned from holderhost). At the moment, however, I have to be focused on other things.

Giving negative reputation. I'm happy to give out both positive and negative reputation but a member or two hasn't taken too kindly to it.
skysnap wrote:1. Are you a student or working?
Student studying Commerce (Finance & Accounting) and Science (Computer Science).
skysnap wrote:2. Are you a programmer?
I wouldn't consider myself one (yet). I know OOP Python and have been learning web development languages (javascript and PHP). I'm actually still doing a stage 1 computer science paper (I'm doing my final stage 3 Finance and Accounting papers this semester).
skysnap wrote:3. Have you tried making money online? like say blogging or tutoring or video?
I ran a very small hosting business that had >300 clients and a decent amount of revenue to match. I've tried other things in the past and after that. None of which have been particularly successful. I do plan to do some web development stuff.

Not particularly. It's often reported and very easy to remove.
If by "spam" you mean Low Quality Posting... then yes that's a little more difficult because you have to arbitrate a standard.

I've found this video to be particularly good:
I also read, go to the gym and go for a walk when I am feeling stressed out.

That's a great domain Sam, sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy at the moment. I hope your studies are going well and that you are still enjoying them.

Thanks for your speedy answer, @Sam I imagine giving a negative reputation is not something you enjoy doing, but which sadly comes with the job. In your position, you obviously just have to put your foot down in some instances and that's inevitably going to upset some people. But let's face it, you can't please all of the people all of the time. You can't always win, but you do have a job to do.

I joined Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:47 am (NZT). If you look at the member list, I was member number 10. memberlist.php. Fergal invited me on ForumPromotion. He explained the concept of ForumCoin and asked about me selling hosting for FC$.
