Applying to be a Moderation Volunteer

The h2g2 Moderators are a team of Researchers who help keep h2g2 a fun and safe place to be. Posts and Entries believed to break the House Rules are referred to this team for decision. The moderators use the Transgressions Procedure to try and make all decisions fairly and quickly.

Please note that our moderators cannot answer any questions directly about moderation. If you have any queries, please email [email protected] where you can receive an official response.
