Moderation
It is impossible to tell anything about moderators, because their nicknames are not mentioned anywhere. But they might exist, because someone is definitely moderating the forum – there is practically no spam (and no premoderation). Still, “dead” topics are not deleted or moved to a proper section.
Structure
The forum is not structured very well. There are 5 sections and 9 subsections, but some subsections essential for a Forex forum a missing.
The 1st section is General Forex Message Board, which has 1 subsection called “Introduce Yourself”. The 2nd section is Beginners Forex Forum with “Getting Started”. These 2 sections could be easily united in 1. Next goes Technical Analysis Forex Forum with “Indicators and Trading Systems”. The 4th section is called Major Currency Pairs and it features traditional subsections: “USD/CHF”, “EUR/USD”, “GBP/USD” and “USD/JPY”. Finally, there is MTI Affiliates with it’s “Official Forum Guidelines” and “Become an Affiliate”.
