Can you let me know what bots you use?
If she needs to know more about bots, advise her come here to ask it.
She has ultrabot but nothing that blocks bots and not greys. So when there are alot of viewers sometimes set the silence level to 1 to allow only token holders to talk keeping bots at bay.
The last thing she needs is receiving unasked advises : let her concentrated on her show, let her manage her room and her tools.
Ultrabot is not bad, let her use it as far she does not ask you. The tool *she* knows is the best tool for her room.
Else the only thing she need from a mod is :
- Display a red name in her visitor list : it can make "more pro" for many users when the room has few visitors.
- Replace her own hands on keyboard when she is busy
With some bots, if she uses them, you can have to learn how it works (ie how to launch a timer to start a hidden show or else...) but it's very rare and she'll tell you, don't worry.
- Answer the most common questions (the ones everybody ask her every hours, every days...) but not too fast, let her the time and maybe answer when you feel it's going to bore her really.
- Listen her interrogations and reassure her on
her choices sometimes.
plus, maybe, a bit 'wake up guys'... better to do when it's really too calm, but don't spam the room with 'tip her!!' it's anti-productive. The word 'tip' is displayed everywhere, just remember this word to beggars and noobs from time to time. But notice that a room having a "clown mod" repeating 'tip her' like a parrot oftenly makes serious tippers running away.
I did ask her if she prefers me to allow her to work without me present. She didn't see to mind either way.
Of course !! (this pushed me to answer here...)
You don't *have to* be present for every show the whole shows and
certainly not allowing her anything xD You're just a normal viewer with a little power to help.
Though : having a very regular viewer can be mentally helpful, but I hope that she redded you because you're already regular enough and already acting in her chat as she expects a mod should react. Hence don't change your way.
If she expects more from you, it means that what she needs is to come here to ask her questions (and this you can feel free to advise her ^^).
A guy with more power than this in a room is a danger for her room.
You're not "working for her" of anything like that, you're only red to give an hand when it's possible, and nothing more if she does not ask specifically. This is the main thing you have to understand to "be a good mod"
Most of time, you just have to (force you to) remain the same regular without having to discuss a lot about your role.
Does silence level 1 to allow only token holders hurt her in earning?
It depends on number of viewers, on the way she interact with the public, the 'quality' of her regulars, how hard her room is spammed and can change with day and weeks. A few spamming can make living a room which is far too calm , there is no fixed rule imo :/
Same for silencing grays, it can be anti-productive in low frequented room in the beginning of a show and mandatory when room get many users. Once again, if she knows that this is technically possible, and that she can change it during a show, it's the only point.
You can have only to reassure her, when she asks you, that she makes a good choice : ) (whatever the choice she makes)
