Finding Good Moderators

If you're running a forum by yourself and get to a point where you need help moderating, where do you go, or how would you approach some of your members to moderate for you?

It depends!
You can go find moderators on other forums but if you look out for free moderators, they will surely not help out much because they dont gain much apart from some powers and if they dont like the forum itself, no help.
A moderator has to be active, make topics, sees that discipline is maintained and greet new members by PMs and help out the forum by various stuff.

If you pay $$ to your moderators, the choose a right person for it, you shall gain help and everything.
If you can afford to pay some cheap money, your forum is bound to get much better and a moderator can do lots !

that is very true when the moderators arent payed from my past experiences they dont work out in the long run.

Unless its something big and that it would be something that looks nice when someone is bragging to someone else. such as that i used to moderate for Music Galore, a big free music for xangas and now their expanding. i was REALLY active for first 6 months, but then i began to die. And just as you said, there was no pay and it was kind of wasting my time. But, they went so big, they expanded into so much "genres" man i regret resigning, but it was for the best

Me, too, I am moderating a forum but since I am busy nowadays, I haven't been there for almost a week. Would you suggest that I resign? I am really confused now. I like to stay but it seems I can't give my best anymore.

Money is undeniably a motivation and a few bucks is good enough especially in moderating job. I believe it gets boring in the long run especially if you don't get anything from it. When I was still new in threading, I used to think if moderating is at all exciting because just being a mere poster I tend to get tired.

I wonder how much do one get in moderating a forum? Does it pay off the time you spent?

How much does a good moderator job pay?

Some forums are so busy, the mods spend a good amount of time there. Not that they aren't enjoying themselves, but still - who can sit on the computer for 8 hours a day for free?

That's it! We are particularly in this webspace for something else other than just staring at the PC screen. We are here for the purpose of earning and see if we can really get something from what we are doing. It is really a motivation to get something from your effort, even just a little something. When I was looking for a co-moderator for the forum, it was hard to get one, most of them just declined the position and good that there was one who volunteered for it. Wonder if he's not tired like me now, hope he's not.
