There are many variables to look at when fostering a community. You have to weigh between making a comfortable environment and keeping order to the boards.

Our statement is this simple: If it makes the community grow, it's favored.

This is a gaming portal website so it will be expected to have opinionated members, there will be those that swim against the waves. What I ask when you meet these people is that you engage them maturely and neutrally, while unilaterally accomplishing your moderation and/or management responsibilities. We must try our best to avoid having the moderation team to be looked at as members of the gestapo or "the man". Patience truely is a virtue, and it should be exercised by our team.

As part of the team, anything you say will be viewed by members as a representation of the site itself. With that being said, I ask that we appear neutral when engaging in highly controversial topics.

Punctuation, good grammer, and just being clever/articulate in general are a plus.

Our entire site will be molded from the community. If there are a number of people pushing for something that is not the general direction of the site, we should evaluate ourselves to see if the community needs are being met. I applaud any of you on the moderation team for helping make this site grow. If there are any extra inputs I am all ears.
