Yay, we're set to go, finally! I'll be contacting 2 of the new candidates today or tomorrow, and another 1-2 people (depending on how things go) in the next 2-3 weeks.

The reason for the delay between the two groups is that we need 3-4 new moderators, but I find that training more than 1 or 2 at a time is difficult to do from an administrative standpoint.

I don't quite understand the concept of "training" new Moderators, how does that work?

It sees like being a Mod is a pretty straightforward job.

I am sure they have to tell you normal procedure, such as what to moderate, what not to moderate. What is off and on topic for the threads you will be monitoring, what is trolling, spamming, flaming, etc... And how to go about doing certain things on the board like using your new MOD powers.

Thanks!

There's some paperwork to be done before a moderator is all set. Chances are the second candidate isn't done with them just yet. happy
