I do agree it is important for employers to recognise any such responsibility and to be aware of professional fora - BUT I should like to see employers recognise that a forum like DDNet benefits all members (and indirectly therefore their business) and not just those who moderate ...

... of course that means that all of us are individually responsible for behaving in an appropriate way on the forum to maintain the professional image ... and I think it is important to remember that a Moderator was a Member first and is a Member still.

... and that helps the moderation because then the moderators role is about stopping spam and escalating technical gremlins up to the DDNet team ... and we can all enjoy the outcome in a professional online community, which not only encourages and supports our work, but where if we choose we can blog, join groups and have peer networks - a true one stop shop of admins and secretaries?
