Forum Moderators are part of what makes MangaDex forums wild and special. Seeing a Forum Moderator is often a matter of luck, but you can increase your chances if you know where and when to look. The best places to see Forum Moderators are those locations that they can't afford to ignore. For example, Forum Moderators are sometimes in the
Support forum digging up threads to respond when they feel charitable, while during a new announcement you may see Forum Moderators
protecting newbies from Rickrolling and
responding to the same two questions. Even if you don't see a Forum Moderator, you can look for signs of them โ moderated comments, locked threads, the lack of scat, scratch marks and bits of fur on tree bark, and random "ok mod".
If you do see a Forum Moderator, remember you are a visitor in their home. Your behavior may have life or death consequences not for a Forum Moderator, but for you. Follow the steps below for a more enjoyable visit and remember that Forum Moderators are wild animals. Like any wild animal, they can be dangerous and are sometimes unpredictable. Attacks on shitposters are rare, but they can occur.

Respect a Forum Moderator's space. Waiting for others to fuck up allows you to view Forum Moderator without getting too close.[/ul]
[ul]
Never ping excessively, PM without a reason, openly stalk, or displace Forum Moderators. If a Forum Moderator changes its behavior because of your presence, you are too close! Also, check with the
pinned threads for viewing distance regulations, which may vary based on species and terrain. For example, The General forum doesn't require shitposters to keep a distance, while it's best to leave them alone in discussions and manga comments.[/ul]
[ul]
Stay in groups and maximize noise and shitposting. However, in threads of low visibility or when you're out necroing threads, reduce chances of surprise encounters by staying alert and talking amusingly to identify yourself as a shitposter, not just a moron.[/ul]
[ul]
Stay in designated forums whenever possible.[/ul]

Leave "orphaned" or sick Forum Moderators alone. Young Forum Moderators that appear alone usually have an administrator waiting nearby. Never get between an administrator and her cub.[/ul]
