A moderator on Chaturbate acts as a broadcaster’s “assistant,” helping to keep the chatroom positive and orderly. Moderators have the power to silence users in the chat for up to 6 hours if needed.
Broadcasters can set how long a moderator remains in their role, with options ranging from 1 day to 6 months. This setting is adjustable via the gear icon located above the chat window on the broadcast page.
Moderators play several key roles: they communicate directly with the broadcaster, encourage viewers to tip towards goals, offer solutions if issues arise during the broadcast, and more.
Perhaps their most critical task is monitoring the chat log. By keeping an eye on viewer interactions during the broadcast, moderators can swiftly act to silence anyone who breaks the broadcaster's rules.
Ways to silence users:
1. Click the user’s username and select “silence user for 6 hours”
2. Click the 'users' tab, find the username and select “silence user for 6 hours”
*A confirmation box will open up. Select “yes” and you will have silenced that particular user.
If you're appointed as a moderator, it's crucial to keep in mind that your role isn't to dominate the chat. Remember, the spotlight is on the broadcaster, and you're there to support them. Your main job is to help maintain a fun and respectful environment for everyone in the chat room. Always treat viewers with respect and ensure the focus stays on the broadcaster's show.
