How to be a good leader

What is a moderator? As the name suggests, the moderator is the owner of a forum and manages a section. In a section, the quality of the posts, whether they are popular, and whether the management is orderly are all directly related to the moderator. In other words, the rise and fall of a section is inseparable from the moderators. Therefore, moderators have great responsibilities and great pressure. There are many online forums today, with tens of thousands of netizens and countless moderators. As the saying goes, there are no two identical leaves in the world, and each moderator has different thoughts, mentality, qualities, and accomplishments. The moderator's attitude determines everything on the forum. Moderators can "do something" or "do something not to do". If the moderator "does something not to do" or "does something wrong" and does not correct it, then in the long run, the forum will inevitably become chaotic and the popularity will drop sharply. And the entire forum will also decline and everyone will leave!

So how should you make a difference as a moderator? Or how to be a good moderator? Specifically, there are the following aspects:
______
First of all, the moderator should not be a "board". What is a "board"? According to the meaning of the word, "ban" is a deterrent, ranging from the whip in the hands of the sheepherder to the wooden stick of the yamen servant, to the Shangfang sword given by the emperor. These can all be called "ban". To put it more clearly, "ban" is actually a kind of "power". Moderators are also the exercisers of power. They have their own feet on the forum. They can also be said to be the "parents" of the forum. They can be said to have "big power" in their hands, but they must be "cautious" in how to exercise the power in their hands. However, some moderators do not know how to use their power, which is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

1. Some moderators believe that the power is in their own hands and they have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration. Moderators often say: "It's difficult to lead a team when people's hearts are scattered. It's even harder to lead a team if you don't have the power." He devotes himself to the "bamboo board" in his hand all day long, without thinking about the members, let alone "empathizing with others." Faced with responsibilities and pressure, a good moderator should use "appeasement strategies" and "make the best of the situation."

2. Some moderators, "King Shandai", have serious thoughts and believe that they are the masters of the forum and should have the power. Members can only "just let it go and everyone will obey it", while members have no power to reason at all, and opponents will be "killed without mercy". The members were not considerate of their hard work, and their "good intentions" were even more incomprehensible, which resulted in members complaining and complaining. From then on, the sector fell into the sunset and no one cared about it. A good moderator should actively guide members to communicate, communicate heart to heart, and impress members with your personality charm.

3. Although some moderators are familiar with forum rules and regulations, they memorize them by rote and don't know what "flexibility" is? Why "flex" and "flex" for what? Not to mention "power is for the people, feelings are for the people, and profit is for the people". Some moderators do not know that the power in their hands is given by members and is a "sacred honor". They abuse their power at every turn, and they are arrogant and have no regrets at all when they make mistakes. Suppose there is a butcher who slaughters an animal with Shang Fang's sword in his hand and plausibly says, "I killed you with Shang Fang's sword. Your death was extremely glorious and well deserved." Tell me, how sad is this? Wouldn't it be even more sad if a member encounters such a moderator?
______
Secondly, the moderator should not be a "pig". We know that the moderator is the owner of a forum, and the moderators are the members of a forum. The moderator comes from the members, and his mission determines that he must serve the members. If the moderator has this guiding ideology, then the members will speak freely, actively communicate, and the number will increase greatly. The moderator will also "move with emotion and understand with reason," and the forum will be democratic and orderly.However, there are some moderators who do not understand this truth, do not know what democracy is, and do not understand the true meaning that the power in their hands is "taken from members and used by members." They are like "pigs" all day long, doing nothing, eating and sleeping, the forum is chaotic, and members suffer Disaster, such moderators are mainly manifested in the following three aspects:

1. They are mediocre, lazy, and do nothing. They work like a monk every day, do not want to make progress, and do not know how to work hard. As for how to develop the board, there is no long-term plan. There are a few poems like this that vividly describe them: "The names are so high on the page, and their reputation is so glorious. If you ask what the page plans, we just don't think about it." This "pig" image is undoubtedly exposed, which is really frightening.

2. Poor quality and low cultivation. They don't know how to handle things or solve problems when they encounter them. They only scratch their heads and scratch their heads. They turn a blind eye to members' doubts and worries, or turn a blind eye or close one eye. They muddle along, waste time and dawdle. What's worse, they make a mess on the page, raise their butts and leave, and they still plausibly say: I'm too tired. You said, what's the use of such a "pig"!

3. He is not very capable and has a bad temper. He often gets into quarrels and debates with other moderators and members. As a result, the forum can range from thunder and lightning and loud curses to the most violent and bloody. Some members tried to dissuade them, but they were looked down upon and scolded. They were also involved and were brutally persecuted. "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." This is a truth that everyone knows, and further infers: "The people can support the leader, and can also overthrow the leader." How can those moderators not know such a simple truth? Of course they know, to put it bluntly, but their "pig" temper is both sour and hard.
______
*Since the moderator is neither a "board" nor a "pig", what is the relationship between the moderator and the members? Can believes that moderators should be "fish" and members are "water". Because: if there is no water, there will be no fish. Fish rely on water to survive, and water with fish will be alive. The love between fish and water is deep and meaningful. However, there are countless species of fish in the world. Since the moderator is a "fish", he will make the following three kinds of "fish": catfish and cleft lip fish. Mermaid.
______
1. The reason why the moderator is a "catfish" is because catfish are active by nature and swim east and west, causing the lazy sardines to change their inertia and enliven the underwater environment. This is the catfish effect. As a moderator, you should use your own personality charm to inspire the enthusiasm of the members, use your own * motivation to stimulate the youthful vitality of the members, and use your own talents to lead members to appreciate it. In this way, the majority of members will work together to form a good situation in which the forum is prosperous. Such moderators have inherited Catfish's "activation power." There is a poem to prove it: One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and hundreds of boats compete to spread the flowers.

2. The reason why the moderator is a "cleft lip fish" is because the cleft lip fish is a "fish doctor", specializing in cleaning turbid foreign matter on fish and treating difficult and complicated fish diseases. It is said that residents of Turkey use this fish to treat skin diseases. This shows that this fish is extraordinary, and the role of the moderator is very similar to this fish. It cleans virus posts and advertising posts every day, changes the format, cleans garbage, finds problems, and promptly corrects them. Members have difficulties, enthusiastic help, and thoughtful service. Being unknown, taking pleasure in suffering. As a link between past and present, this site is our home. Only the moderator knows the ups and downs.

3. The reason why a moderator is a "mermaid" is that the moderator must have the essence of a mermaid: tenacious and perseverant, never giving up, selfless and noble, asking for nothing in return, devoting and sacrificing for love. This is the inexhaustible motivation for moderators to strive for the page, and it is also the highest state of moderators.
