Hi new mod team, Since we don’t have team modmail capabilities yet, let’s use this to intro ourselves to community, as well as to have conversations about the direction of the community ( like how do we define “tiny”?) based on members feedback.

    “up to a handfull”

    Holy cow - Lebron James’ hands could hold triple DDD’s - haha!

    Anyway, modding is simply a combination of the following (in mixture of whichever percentages from 0 to 100, based solely on you as the individual):

    • Having fun (must be 100%) - otherwise there must be other activities that are more fulfilling 😉
    • Reviewing posts, removing irrelevant posts/spam - ban repeated offenders or spambots
    • Removing unwanted comments, banning abusive members that don’t contribute to community. Some are simply trolls looking for attention and it’s best to just ban them right at the beginning
    • Posting/Sharing (whether own OC or under the fair-use DMCA guidelines) in moderated communities. Try to be aware of content (genre, studios, etc) that have been DMCA claimed in the past or banned from here
    • Posting/crossposting to other relevant communities as a way to share (and to let others know about your own communities - this is the best way to help grow a community as well as to let others expand their horizons. My general rule of thumb is that any image/gif is likely relevant to probably 5 other communities and would be welcomed - OTOH posting the same item all at once to 5 or more places starts to feel like spam.
    • Inviting others (especially relevant OC posters (not spammers) to post at your own communities (or other relevant ones): examples: 1, 2
    • Recruiting potential mods - example, example

    So basically, a mod team made up of different people with diversity and different focus/approaches is what makes the community come alive.
