This article explains three key volunteer roles in the MyFitnessPal community forum. Volunteer Moderators help enforce community guidelines. Community Helpers act like a neighborhood watch. Spam Moderators focus on removing spam posts.
Volunteer Moderators:
Volunteer moderators are essential for upholding our community guidelines. They review abuse reports, respond to issues, and step in when discussions get heated to help calm things down. This role needs a gentle touch and careful judgment, especially when emotions run high.
Moderators also greet new members, collect feedback and suggestions, and join private forums with staff and other moderators. There, they report issues, discuss community concerns, share ideas, and work together to improve the forum.
Community Helpers:
Community helpers are like a friendly neighborhood watch for our forum. They report spam or abusive content, help remove posts for members who ask, and move posts to the right categories. They do not issue warnings or moderate discussions.
Spam Moderators:
Spam moderators help keep the forums clean by removing spam posts every day. They have fewer tools than full moderators, but can quickly take down spam to keep the community positive for everyone. If you want to learn more about volunteering, check out this article.
