I'm looking for best practices for forum moderating.  Any ideas?  I've found studies on forums and forum moderators, but I'm looking for very practical tips to give to a few young volunteers that I have moderating forums and a Ning.  Thanks so much!

Dear Colleague,

This is an invitation to submit a research paper to one of the minitracks of
the E-Government Track at the 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System
Sciences (HICSS-43).

HICSS-43 (2010) will be held from January 5-8, 2010
at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa, Koloa, Kauai, HI/USA.

The e-Government Track will host eight minitracks:

* Development Methods for Electronic Government
* Emerging Topics
* E-Participation, e-Citizenship, and Digital Democracy
* E-Policy, e-Governance, Ethics, and Law
* E-Services and Information
* Information Security
* Infrastructure and Interoperability
* Organization and Management

Submission deadline: June 15, 2009

For details please see

http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/hicss43/

Among e-Government scholars the HICSS e-Government Track has an excellent
reputation. Several times it has been ranked the academically most rigorous
research conference on e-Government in the world. Having a paper accepted at
the e-Gov Track at HICSS means something.

Best wishes,

Jochen Scholl
HICSS-43
E-Government Track

Hello everyone,

I am doing some research for my master's thesis examining the Second Life
avatar and real world self. The purpose of this research study is to
better understand the personality of the real world self and primary
avatar. If you could take a few minutes of your time to take this
survey it would be incredibly helpful to my research. Also, please feel
free to circulate the link as I'd like to get as many respondents as
possible. The survey will be available for one more week, so this is the final push.

Thank you!
