Forum Moderation


Moderation comes in many different forms but are essentially all covered by the process of eliminating or lessening extremes. It is used to ensure normality or an adherence to set standards throughout the medium on which it is being conducted. On Internet websites which invite users to post comments, a moderation system is the method the webmaster or moderator chooses to sort contributions which are irrelevant, obscene, illegal, or insulting with regards to useful or informative contributions.

Forum Moderation is one of the forms included in this system. It involves the regulation of forum posts. Reviewing questions, answers, opinions and all other posted data to safeguard users from undesirable, illegal and offensive information. Forum moderation is essential in all websites that offer panels, conferences, string conversations or message boards. They differ from chat rooms mainly because messages are not shown in real-time, to see new messages the forum page must be reloaded. Also, depending on the access level of a user and/or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.
