Moderator Policy

In order to apply to be an LI Islamic Forum Moderator, you must:

• be an active member on the forum
• have a minimum post count of 500
• have 0 infraction points
• have a positive presence on the forum, which is reflected in the overall substance of your posts and interaction with other members

Being a Moderator is a demanding job and requires a high level of commitment and responsibility. At the same time, it can be a rewarding role if your intention is to please Allaah (swt) by helping to foster a better understanding of Islam and helping to maintain an e-Muslim community that supports each other and promotes the Islamic image.

Moderators should be knowledgeable and interested in the topic they would like to moderate. They usually have one or more specific forums (eg. Comparative Religion) to watch over, ensuring that people follow the forum guidelines, post in the correct place and generally keep unsuitable content out as much as possible. Moderators should frequently encourage member participation in their forum, both by posting in existing threads and starting new ones. They should be polite and helpful towards other members and give advice whenever needed and whenever possible.

Moderators should visit the forum each day, actively taking part in discussions as often as possible. They should also take an active part in discussions between Moderators relating to the running of the forum.

One of the most important aspects of being a Moderator is setting a good example to the other members. They need to uphold and promote Islamic values, etiquette and character. This will lay the foundation for dealing justly and decently with others.
