What moderators do

ProZ.com's KudoZ and forum areas are monitored by a group of volunteers known as "moderators". Their role is to foster and protect the positive, results-oriented atmosphere that makes ProZ.com possible, by:

• Greeting and guiding

  Moderators welcome new participants to the forums and KudoZ, and help them to properly use and benefit from what is available to them at ProZ.com.


• Enforcing site rules

  In conjunction with other moderators and site staff members, moderators help to maintain a constructive environment by carrying out enforcement of the site's rules in a consistent and structured manner.

To learn more about the moderator role, read the program overview (.pdf).

Who they are

The moderator group consists of an international group of translators who speak and work in a wide variety of languages. Moderators serve one-year terms, from July to June. At any given time, there are about one hundred moderators. See current moderators...

Why they do it

Moderators understand that having a system to ensure fair play is part of what makes ProZ.com possible. They may have benefited from ProZ.com and have chosen to give something back by playing their part, in turn, in this system. See comments from moderators...
