Nowadays, the are basically the moderator activities:
Block spammers and delete spam. Discourse catches some of it, and offers a one-click process to get rid of spammers. Usually there is no spam, but when it comes it can get intense for a couple of days.
Watch the Drafts category, promote well formulated proposals to Community Wishlist and move to General those who just want to make a point in a few sentences. Or point to existing wishes if it’s a duplicate, and resolve the draft.
Help newcomers or anyone else with questions about Bitwish.
In more than three years there have been only a very few occasions where actual user or content moderation has been needed. Even in these cases it was a matter of removing a post, comment with the author and little else.
Set a good example.

Ok, great just the info i was looking for, i Could not find it on my own since i do not see it in any of the drop down menus, not sure if that is by by design but thought a good idea to bring attention to it if not. I am definitely interested though, i don’t have any prior experience in being a moderator (except for IRL, lol) but I would like to do what i can to help this mission be a success!
Since I’m already a moderator in few Bitwig communities, I might as well be more engaged here. I do check the website almost daily, just not everyday I have something to say myself
This is great to hear! Let me finish my work hours, I will update the top post explaining what means in practice to be a Bitwish moderator these days, and then you (and anyone else interested) confirm (or not) whether you are interested, ok?
