Session Name:

Community Management - It Is More than Forum Moderation. Skills, Recruitment and Training of Community Managers

Overview:

Community Management: It is more than forum moderation. So which skills are necessary to fulfill this job best? In former times community managers often were recruited right out of the community, when it became obvious that they are dedicated to the game, have good skills in writing and a helpful behavior.
