Unofficial Moderators
- Make users be self opt-in to be an "unofficial moderator" (UM) for each forum.
- Then their posts are displayed with "this post was written by an unofficial moderator. Please rate this post"
Users can opt-in and opt-out whenever they like. They get an instant feedback about their commitment to the community. Other users know that these users are there mostly to help out* not to ask questions. Advantages- increase traffic. Users feel more "in the community" when helping others out and being displayed as a contributor.
- motivate users. Normal users feel more in good hands with more moderators. UM feel more in the community and the feedback they get motivate them
- feedback is right. One good post with lots of feedback far outweights lots of "less good" posts from a moderator for his UM-feedback-statistic
- no moderator rights needed. Moderator actions can be done by the "warn this thread / post" icon.
- see which unofficial moderator to promote for being a moderator next time
