"Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control." What you do or say on the forum will decide how good or bad we are. Rules For Moderators
- Be polite - what you say or do on the forum leaves an impression on our users about CiteHR.
- Foster a sense of community , caring and responsiveness in your assigned forum. This can be done easily by getting involved in discussions, responding to posts (especially those no one else reponds to), and offering your support. NOTE: You do not have to reply to every post (this would be downright exhausting for some forums!).
- Monitor your forum for abusive posts, unauthorized spam or advertisements, copyright infringements, any sort of harrassment, and any other violations of the forum rules and edit or delete posts that violate these rules (login first, then click on the "Edit" or "Delete" icon found at the top right hand corner of each message post). Alert the forum administrator for serious and "repeat" offenders, or questionable posts you aren't sure about.

Here's a guide to how you should go about moderating your forum.
Working With Threads
The most important task is to make sure that your forums contains threads which belong there.
Here's a list of categories of threads which should be deleted immediately:
- Duplicate Threads
- Threads that are abusive in nature
- Advertising of non-HR related stuff
If you are the moderator of training and development forum and you see a thread titled "16PF Certification workshop June2008 in pune" it should be clear that this thread does not belong here:
We need to move this to the "Events & Announcements" Section. So how do we do that?
Select The Thread
You can easily select the thread by clicking on the checkbox at the end of the thread listing.
Now you will see that the Moderation drop down at the bottom of the thread listings will show that you have one thread selected.
Now you need to choose what you want to do with the selected thread.
So let's do that:
You may or may not see all the options available here according to the level of permissions you have as a moderator. Select "Move Thread" from the menu.
Great! Now click on the "Go" button and you will be able to choose the destination forum. This thread here belongs in the "Events & Announcements" forum - so I have chosen that.
Leave no redirect: We do not need to leave redirects - what this does is it creates a linked thread listing in the current forum which leads to the listing in the other forum. Since this is posted in the wrong forum - we do not need to leave redirects.
Click "Move Threads" - Oh! yes - you can actually move multiple threads at the same time - but you need to make sure that they all belong in the same forum cause you will be able to move it only to a single forum. So in case I had more threads which belonged to the "Events & Announcements" forum I would've moved them there.
That's it you are done.
In the same way you will be able to close, merge, stick or delete threads. I hope this has been helpful - if you have any questions please private message me.
