Moderators help the site owner
A moderator’s job is to sustain the momentum and work towards keeping an eye on the conversation and validation. I have no doubt that you are active in social media at least in one also active in forums and other community sites (international/local). These sites have thousands of daily visitors, site owners need to control the posts to keep the site clean and running. Moderators have some rights to ban users for a period of time, accept/deny new users, delete and/or edit posts, and reply. It depends on the moderator rank and job provided by the site(company owner) admin.
Online moderator job
An online moderator means a person like you is a member of the site and a staff member also who helps the site owner run the community and helps members with site features. He/she does this job from home choosing own hours, companies have rules on work hours like 20-25 hours in a week. So you can decide how to manage your time working from home setting your own time every day.
Doing a moderator job online you do not need to meet or visit but have to be active online to answer people, log and visit current posts and comments, and follow the rules as a moderator you were instructed by the owner whether to delete, ban, warn or simply answer the post.
Basic requirements for an online moderator job
Doing the online job is not like chatting on Facebook or any other site you do always but it is your responsibility to give the best service. You will work for a company so be gentle. Before going to apply you must:
- Must be 18 or over
- Strong typing skill
- Familiarity with social media sites on a personal or professional level
