Changes in Stock Board Mod Assignments


Soon the Moderator system will be changing on stock-specific boards only. There will no longer be a Moderator with Assistants. All positions will be equal and considered a Moderator. This change will not effect the general trading boards in any way. This is only for boards that discuss a single, specific stock.

In order to apply for a Moderator position, users will click on the link that says “Add Me as a Moderator” which will add them to a queue. Admins will either approve or deny requests based on the User’s history of following the rules of the site as well as actively and fairly enforcing these rules on boards they have moderated.

This means if you want to be a moderator on boards going forward, you need to be active in Mod positions currently and you need to ensure that you are not violating the rules on any boards. This does not mean that you should be searching for the slightest infractions. It simply means that as personal attacks and posts about other Users show up on your boards, you need to take an active role in enforcing the rules by removing them.

Moderators are going to have to work as a team for any iBox changes or sticky notes. Admin will still not be getting involved in these disputes of User generated content except in the case of TOS violations. We will be supportive of teams working together to resolve any challenges.

Requests to be added as moderator on a board where all of the moderator positions are already filled will be held in a deferred queue. If an existing moderator resigns or is removed for violating their Moderator privileges, the site rules or for being inactive in assisting in actively moderating the board, they will be removed and deferred requests will be automatically re-queued.

Users who incite board wars, stalk or intentionally antagonize other Users/entire boards or generally act disrupt the community should not anticipate being granted moderator positions. The purpose of moderators is to promote the civil exchange of on-topic dialog that complies with the Investors Hub Terms of Service.

iHub was always designed to be a self-policing site. As the site has grown, it appears that more and more people have seen the Mod role as simply a figure head. That is not the case.

We are hopeful that under this new structure many who have never had a chance to Moderate will be able to come forward and take a role where they are interested.

The above is our current plan and there could be some modifications as we move forward in implementing this new process. This is simply a heads up so that people have the opportunity to offer constructive suggestions and prepare for the new system.
