MortgageFit has redefined the roles and responsibilities for its forum moderators. We hope that this will give a new dimension to their work process and encourage them to do better and better.
What a moderator does
A moderator initiates or participates in discussions on various topics for a particular forum section. While doing so, he tries to involve others in the discussion - the purpose is to develop a sense of community, caring and togetherness.
Moderators also look out for abusive posts, unauthorized spam or advertisements, and copyright violations that go against our forum guidelines and terms of service. They have the rights to delete such posts. However, if such posts are repeated, moderators should report it to administrators for further course of action.
Who are our moderators
