How to become a video chat room moderator
A chat room moderator or monitor as they are known has a unique responsibility. They are responsible for making sure the chat room is a safe place to chat. Every day, thousands of people log into the most popular chat sites. The room moderator should monitor not only what is being said on the chat room lobby page, but if the chat room allows webcams, they should also click on each individual camera to ensure that what is being broadcast to the public in the room is allowed. This special role is not as easy as many people think. But how to do chat mode?
Before being appointed as moderators, they must apply. The first step in becoming a moderator is that you need to chat in the room you want to monitor. So if you want to moderate a room called “teen chat” you have to talk in the teen chat room. You must also ensure that you meet all age requirements before applying. If you are a teenager, you cannot apply for a room that is for people aged 18 and over. The same applies if you are an adult, you cannot apply for a teenage room. Spend a lot of time chatting in the room you are interested in. Make sure other people get to know you really well. They can only do this if you chat consistently and engage others in the chat room. It helps if other chat moderators and admins know you. If you can become friends with them, your application will most likely be approved. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the chat room rules and watch other moderators do their job, this will help you when you become a mod.
Once you’re ready to apply, you’ll need to contact the chat room administrator, if there isn’t one, contact the site administrator. You can do it by private message or email. Some sites have forums or message boards. Create a nickname, preferably the same nickname you use in the chat room. Once you’ve joined the forums, search for the name of the admin of the chat room you want to change and send them a message. Also search the forums as there is sometimes a thread explaining who to contact and what to include in your application. Don’t create a topic or post for wanting to moderate. This is frowned upon. What do you say in your application?
Some important things to mention is your nickname that you use in the chat room. Mention how much time you spend chatting in the room. This will show your activity level. Admins usually look for those who are most active. Tell them the approximate number of hours you can devote to moderating. Don’t lie about the time you can modify for them. Tell them which side you’re on. Sometimes they may need people from different time zones who can cover different times. Finally, tell them why they should choose you. Why are you different from others? do you have experience What skills do you have that could make you a better role model than the candidate before you?
Will they pay you? No. All moderator positions on chat sites are voluntary. You will not be paid. You will help when you have free time from your day. What are some of the things the chat mod does?
A chat mod, as mentioned earlier, is responsible for a specific chat room or side room. They quickly scan the chat lobby and webcams to make sure everyone is talking appropriately. If you see something that violates the rules, such as someone posting their email address on the main page, you will need to issue several warnings asking the person to stop. Include the person’s name in your warning and tell them what they are doing that is not allowed. Here’s an example: “Tom, please stop sending your email address, this is not allowed and if you continue, I may have to kick you out of this room.” If they persist and you’ve issued multiple warnings, you can continue kicking the user. The kicker is a temporary ban. Once a person is kicked, they will not be able to re-enter the chat room until an admin removes the IP from the kicked list.
We hope this guide clears up any questions you may have about moderating a chat site. Remember that it is not easy, it will require time and patience on your part. Don’t expect to join a site today and get a moderator position tomorrow. It just doesn’t work that way. You may have to wait a few weeks to a month before you can apply, because if you do it sooner, no one will know who you are and your chances of being rejected are almost 100%.
