The Hubpages Authors are the life blood of Hubpages.com, without the authors the site would be a distant memory amongst the many thousands of other internet failures.
As a hubpages author you take on a responsibility to keep the site free from spam, scams and to keep the site user friendly for all age groups.
Producing high quality, original content in a hub, flagging sub standard hubs, spammy hubs and adult hubs are part of the daily routine of a dedicated hub author as well as keeping the scammers and the conmen as far away from Hubpages as possible.
WHY?
Because Hubpages has a great reputation with the search engines and that benefits each and every Hubpages author, the better the rep, the more visitors we get and we all know that more visitors means more ad clicks and more money.
Hubpages is staffed by a great team of people but they need help from the Authors because there are only a few staff members in that team,we all need to do our bit to help the team keep the quality that is expected of hubpages by reputation and the increasing success of the site.
There is a flag button on every hub and on every forum post, it is there to be used and it is well used by the authors who don’t want the site to fail because it takes money out of their pockets. when a hub is flagged it alerts the staff at hubpages to review it and remove offending hubs as neccessary.
The Hubpages Forums
If you ever pay a visit to the forums you will notice that there is very little promotion there and if someone does try to overly promote a hub or another website in the forums they are very quickly shot down in flames by Authors and their posts are very quickly removed by the moderators of hubpages.
Hubpages recently appointed Maddie Ruud a prolific hubber as head moderator of the site and so far she has done a wonderful job in keeping the standards of Hubpages high.
