How to choose moderators who will benefit you and your community
You should have a general notion of what you find offensive and what you consider spam before selecting a moderator. Large blocks of uppercase text are sometimes regarded as spam since they can be difficult to differentiate from other users' material. Occasional caps blocks are less disruptive in other channels, especially channels with slow-moving chat. There are numerous additional instances of spam that you should take into account in addition to this one:
Often huge, pasted text.
Links.
ASCII graphics.
recurring text (texttexttexttexttexttexttext, lollollollollollollollollollollollol).
excessive emoticon usage
Using too many symbols (are you serious?!?!?!?! wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Be sure to let your mods know what has to be deleted and what is acceptable. Choose the viewers who have been referred to you by others (or your other mods), if possible. You could consider talking to folks about modding to see if they're interested in doing it if you observe them to be friendly and helpful to other chat participants and frequent your streams.
