What does it take to be a chat moderator in a Bingo room?

Being a Bingo CM is a job that most CM's absolutely love.

Here are some reasons why it's such a great job:

1. You can work from home
2. You can choose the hours you work ( mostly)
3. You make lots of friends online
4. There are a lot of other CM's to help you out any time of the day
5. The bingo players are very nice and friendly if you are new
6. You get to give people 'free' money.

Well, I'd like to say it's the worlds cushiest job, but lets be realistic.

1. You do have to work shifts, so if that doesn't suit you, it's not for you.
2. You have to be dilligent and on duty all the time - no quick cuppa unless it's made for you.
3. You have to sometime ban people - if they are being abusive to others.
4. You have to work in your pyjamas - just kidding, but you can if you want to!
5. You normally work form home - which can be tough if you have at home ankle biters....

Other than that every Bingo Chat Moderator I've spoken to just loves their job.

What's it like being a CM you Ask??

What is it like being a CM?
being a cm is great you get to meet all sorts of people and generally they are all a really good laugh.
i love it !

the one thing that is hard is when they don't want to natter and nothing you do will change there mind lol

What don't you like about your job?

the worse bit about the job is when you have to ban people as it not nice for the cm and its not nice for all the other roomies either, and also the people that begrudge the other roomies who win, but you cant have everything pmsl

What are the funny things that happen?

the funny bits are usually typos and crikey there have been a few from cms and roomies ohh the difference one letter can make

What are the players like?

you have regular players too you get to know them and they get to know you and you are some peoples line to the outside, there social life is online, and you take the rough with the smooth you share there good news as well as bad and its like a real community and i am proud to be a part of it
