Moderation and being a GM are two different tasks. A GM does not have to be a moderator; a moderator does not have to be a GM.Uso Tasuki said:A GM is needed to perform the moderator functions for the forum and to make sure people don't go overboard. It also helps to have a GM to get the role play started by advertising, getting people running sides (in this case the reds, blacks, greens, ect.), and occasionally playing their character not to 'win' but to create conflict.
They don't really need to be involved in the plot, one should happen on its own if we have people going against each other.
