Community Moderation

While some provocation is obvious and outright, not all cases of trolling, for example, are actually intentional. After all, people often feel more comfortable speaking their mind in online forums and social networks than they do in real life.
One of the most important things in any community is to recognise the line between constructive criticism and abuse.disciplemedia.com
Moderating doesn’t mean eliminating conflict. In fact, vibrant and productive communities depend on differences of opinion between members to create discussion, generate new ideas and develop innovative solutions. But that vibrancy is dependent on the community’s ability to maintain a respectful tone, and it’s the moderator’s job to thread that needle – fostering discussion and even dissention while maintaining the proper tone.communityroundtable.com
