Identifying and engaging with the top 3 moderators in your space builds real relationships with the people who genuinely control what is and is not allowed in your target communities.
Moderators have real, direct control over your ability to participate — genuine positive relationships with them meaningfully smooth your ongoing presence.
Identifying and genuinely engaging with your target communities' top moderators builds real relationships with the people who hold direct, practical control over your ongoing ability to participate — this relationship-building recognizes the real, practical power moderators hold within their specific communities, distinct from general community sentiment.
The genuine respect and appropriateness this engagement requires deserves real attention — interaction that reads as obviously calculated to curry favor undermines rather than builds genuine relationship, while authentic, respectful interaction, consistent with your broader genuine community participation, builds real goodwill without appearing transparently strategic.
Identifying genuinely active, currently engaged moderators, rather than moderators who may hold the role but show limited current activity, matters for whether this relationship-building actually connects with people genuinely influential in the community's current, active moderation and culture.
These genuine moderator relationships, built authentically over time rather than through any single interaction, provide real, practical value throughout your ongoing participation in these specific communities — moderators who recognize you as a genuine, positive contributor are more likely to extend goodwill and understanding in ambiguous situations than they would toward an unfamiliar account.
