What Does a Remote Moderator Do?

As a remote moderator, you work from home to moderate the content of a message board, chat room, or another platform where users post and upload content. Your duties usually involve using the internet to access an online forum or discussion board, but you may also monitor social media accounts, patient healthcare reports, live debates, or survey responses. Remote moderators are frequently responsible for interpreting and enforcing the rules of a given setting, which may include deleting content, silencing speakers who break discussion rules, or directing people to remain on-topic. A moderator is a relatively broad term, so you may need to narrow your search to a specific type of role that best fits your experience and education.
