minimod

plural minimods · alternative mini mod

1. InternetrareA moderator having only limited permissions.

   In becoming TSR moderators (of varying hierarchical status such as supermoderators, global moderators and minimods, further also forum assistants), users are supposed to set a good example for appropriate online behavior as a by-product of their ongoing conversations.

2. InternetderogatoryA back-seat moderator.

   I think the difference between a minimod and a helpful community member is all in the tone each one uses, as well as what SSM said above with staff being online or not.

   Gonna be using this thread as a reference for people from now on I reckon some quality takes on Minimodding and what is defined as "acceptable" by the community.
