Online moderators for dating sites never seek for pleasure.
It is pleasure that seeks for them.
As an online moderator for dating sites, you have the
privilege to enjoy while you work. Why? Isn’t reading romantic texts of users
and approving photo submissions heavenly?
Most online dating sites require members to be at
least18 years old. As a moderator, you must ensure that all your members are
not minors or else you will be in trouble.
1. When
your site requires approval of messages before these are posted, make a code
for approved and another for the unapproved ones. Moreover, review your policy
if unregistered users can post their comments as anonymous (that’s risky).
Normally, unregistered users are encouraged or required to join the dating site
to access pages or have activities within the site.
2. For
registered members who received multiple disapprovals due to violations, assess
their membership and ban them if possible. Always take note that they cannot be
that serious with the site if they have violated more than one rule.
3. Try
cleaning up data that are not given attention to, to give a room for new data
uploads. As the moderator, it is your obligation to look for pictures and texts
that are to be archived to create an impression that all web pages and all
parts of your site are being utilized by all members.
4. Have your own personality as either a sexy accommodating
woman or a charming tough man (it is okay, you can always lie about your physical
appearance if you need to). This promotes a warmer relationship between you and
your members.
5. Always
extend to the members especially if they want to upgrade their membership. If
they need help, you recommend them services and tools that they can use to
maximize your website’s features.
6. Serve
the privacy of every member. You are not allowed to give away some private info
gathered during the registration phase.
7. Talk
to your web designer if you can have pop-ups to randomly remind users about
rules, procedures and services of the site to ease your job. Some online dating
sites have pop ups showing a woman welcoming uers. The pop up may decrease the
speed of downloading of the page but helps in explaining certain points.
8. Pictures
are a big deal in dating sites. Before accepting profile picture submissions,
remind the user that the photo must be real (not photos of Brad Pitt or
Angelina Jolie). If you allow profiles with photos of stars, your site will be
called a “site for posers” and members will lose trust to each other for not
being real. Encouraging them not to submit photos of others may be the least
that you can do.
9. Remind
your users how to avoid online dating scammers: “never meet up with a stranger
alone and never send strangers money and your debit card”.
10. By being warm to everyone, you can convert
ordinary members into paying subscribers of your dating site.
