Zcash Community Forum Moderation Changes

Curious:

What would existing/prior moderators estimate the time commitment required to be?

Can the duties be chiefly reactive – for example, being called to posts that are flagged? Or is most of the effort deployed proactively – staying atop most active threads & preemptively speaking to posters or moving/visibility-adjusting posts?

How often are moderators expected to move unilaterally, versus discussing any difficult cases with other moderators?

moderators should be one up from leaders, so i think it is the second option with community building involved.

Trust Level 4 — Leader

Leaders are regulars who have been around forever and seen everything. They set a positive example for the community through their actions and their posts. If you need advice, these are the folks you turn to first, and they’ve earned the highest level of community trust, such that they are almost moderators within the community already.

Users at trust level 4 can…
