Site Moderation
When a site is reactively moderated the Moderators only look at content that community members and readers of the site have alerted them to by using the complaints button.
The Nag contains a complaints system that has been specifically designed with a reactively moderated community in mind, which enables the community members to alert the moderators and site hosts to unsuitable content.
Community members generally prefer to be reactively moderated than moderated, because it enables members of the community to uphold their own communities’ conventions and ethics; by asking other people not to swear on site, not to be nasty to others, and so on. Reactively moderated communities have a lot of trust placed in the members, since they are responsible for making sure their area doesn’t contain illegal content (such as defamatory or copyright material).
In a reactively moderated community it is important that members try not to be over-protective about moderating the site, they should just enjoy posting as usual, but be aware that they are now helping The Nag to be responsible for the content.
