Online Moderation is the Elf on the Shelf

For many families with small children, the Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas tradition. Based on the 1994 book and toy by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, during the Christmas season, the Elf is sent by Santa to watch over children during the day. When they go to bed, he goes back to the North Pole and tells Santa if the children have been naughty or nice. Each morning, the Elf appears in a different place (where parents place him the night before), leading children on a hunt to find and replace him when they awaken.

Moderators are the online version of the Elf on the Shelf, watching over interactive areas and reporting to clients which users have been trolling and which deserve special kudos for helping others. Unlike the elf, online moderators are in the same place every morning, they work overnight, and not just during the Christmas season. Do you need a watchful presence on your community spaces? Give us a call and we can discuss the ways we can help you turn naughty into nice.
