Dear friends, we need you... We urgently require moderators to cover many sections that are still without a control team.

Those who are already moderators can also participate by multi-moderating in different areas of the site, although I would prefer that each moderator does not have more than 5 moderation sections, or at most does not manage more than one area, so that they can carry out their task without it becoming a "job". Let us remember, in fact, that this forum was opened with the spirit of sharing information to be used for constructive projects, as the composition laboratory has proven to be, in our free time and beyond.

The moderator's task is to report any issues to the administrator, act temporarily by obscuring particularly "delicate" posts, calm the heated spirits of forum users who can sometimes get worked up in relation to the type of topic assigned, but more generally to enforce the rules of Netiquette and "elegant manners" in interpersonal relationships. It is also an appreciable task of the moderator to populate their moderation areas as they see fit by recommending their content to users who have not yet discovered our forum or, by taking initiatives that must be approved by the entire site management staff, to bring an increase in the number of views and registrations to the forum.

Moderators are missing in the following sections; I will insert the names of the moderators as they volunteer and are approved by the existing moderation team (In Blue are the moderation areas, in Red are the sections related to the moderation area):

In REGULATION AND COMMUNICATIONS

- Regulation (without moderator)

- Communications (without moderator)

In INTRODUCTIONS

- Introductions (foster12)

In VIDEO COURSES

- List of video courses (no moderator required - writing disabled section)

In MUSIC

- Classical Music (LucaCavaliere)

- Light Music (foster12)

- Jazz (leoravera)

- Electroacoustic and electronic music (without moderator)

- Groups on great composers (OrlandiArmando)

- Rock (without moderator)

In MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONDUCTING

- Vocal Technique (Thallo)

- Keyboard instruments (Andry)

- Percussion (without moderator)

- Wind instruments (without moderator)

- Strings (without moderator)

- Conducting (without moderator)

In YOUR PERFORMANCES

- How to use this section (without moderator)

- Audio (without moderator)

- Video (foster12)

- I wrote this myself (without moderator)

In COMPOSITION

- Composition (Frank)

- Harmony and counterpoint (Frank)

- Seminars (Frank)

- Practical composition exercises (Frank)

I would propose Frank as moderator of this entire area, as he is already the moderator of the laboratory section.

In SCORES

- Archive update (without moderator)

Very delicate section in which the moderator must check that any files uploaded to the download section do not violate copyright.

- Comments on our video tutorials (without moderator)

- Pro Tools (without moderator)

In CONCERTS AND EVENTS

In TEACHERS

- Teaching (ScalaQuaranta)

- News from conservatories (Zedef)

- Legislation (Zedef)

- Masterclasses (without moderator)

In STUDENTS

- Exams (Zedef)

- Exchange of opinions (without moderator)

- Suggestions (without moderator)

- Conservatories (Zedef)

In WORK

In COMPETITIONS

We thank in advance all those who wish to volunteer for this precious help,

I also agree on the candidacy of Thallo for the "Vocal Technique" section and Frank for the entire "Composition" section, even though other people could also be helpful in this entire section, so as not to place everything on Frank's shoulders (at least that is what I think, then it depends on what he decides). As far as I am concerned, I do not think (as I told you in the past) that I could be a suitable person for this purpose, because as precise as I may be in the things I do, I am not distinguished by diplomacy. Especially knowing (knowing myself well from this point of view) that it would not be easy to be consistent, and this is necessary.

Hi, I'm a bit undecided but I might be interested in the music section, particularly rock. However, I am very busy with my website www.psycanprog.com. I tell you that I would be interested in order to make my site better known. If that is not a problem, it could interest me. Thank you

Valdon, if this is the premise, I believe you are not the ideal person regardless. In all honesty, a moderator should do their part to help the forum grow, not to advertise external portals (assuming I haven't even seen what it is about).

@Thallo

Confirmed then, thank you

@Antares

You are confirmed too, thank you

@Piccinesco

If you feel up to it, I don't see the problem. I believe it is nonetheless a case to discuss it together with Frank.

As far as diplomacy is concerned, as a moderator you can contribute to the development of your section but you must not cause damage; raise your voice only when you cannot help it and avoid exaggerating. If there are problems, they will be discussed, as we have already been doing for some time now, together with all the moderators; if there is a majority, the user is banned without further issues.

@ Simone

I gladly volunteer for Beethoven for the Great Composers Groups.... and if needed (due to a lack of other targeted candidates) also for Chopin and Liszt

but as far as I know, the sections on the great composers haven't been inserted since all 3 have already been moderated.... if you want, you can eventually ask to open another one..

Ah, there it is!... I saw the list (thanks Rotore!)

In fact, I also had in mind that Armando was already a moderator of the Beethoven group...

However, in Simone's initial post it says - Groups on great composers (without a moderator)

So? ... can I relax?

mmmh I just saw now.... which is strange since all 3 groups are moderated (including Liszt by me) unless they meant a general moderator for all 3 sections.... I wouldn't know...

I meant a moderator of the section. The subsections are moderated, not the main section. But for this one, I would ask Armando if you don't mind, since he has brought many people to the site by moderating his section and it seems right and respectful to ask him first before everyone else. If he were to refuse, you choose who you want to be the area Mod, no problem. Any discussions regarding the choice should always be in private messages, including me among the recipients via invitation please.

I could moderate the "Concerts and events" area. However, I would like to know more precisely what a moderator has to do. Do I receive messages that I must approve for insertion into the forum, or must I eventually intervene after publication has already occurred to delete an irrelevant message or move it elsewhere?

At the top I read

The moderator's task is to report any issues to the administrator, to act temporarily by obscuring particularly "delicate" posts, to calm the heated spirits of forum users who can sometimes get worked up in relation to the type of topic at hand, but more generally to enforce the rules of Netiquette and "elegant manners" in interpersonal relationships.

I don't know if there are technical implications later... but I doubt it; it is more a functional matter than a technical one
