A question was posed in another thread regarding how to be a
moderator in EH.
I think I will touch on the difficulties faced.
1) Dealing with forum members whose intent is to bring down the
name of Christianity. They post without the intention of having
proper discussion or seeking answers.
2) Deciding what contents to allow and how to deal with it. Do we
lock the thread, or delete it completely?
3) Participating in EH's thread without stumbling other EH readers.
Like it or not, certain Christian views are not favourable to some
people, especially those regarding the sovereignity of God. Even
among our believers, we may have differing views. This is also
close related to point 2. So as a moderator in EH, we have to be
open to conflicting views and at the same time protecting God's
name. In the bigger picture, everyone ought to have the same
mentality of being receptive, but without compromising your own
belief system.
So as an EH moderator, like any Christian should be, you are "...a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own
special people...". On top of that you must wield the moderating
privileges wisely.
Though I wrote previously the moderating role of a moderator here
is minimal, you can see the unwritten calling is great. A moderator
in a Christian forum is not a small task. I struggle with it. But I
thank God for the faithful members here who are helping me behind
the scenes and also openly in contribution.
