CAUTION
If you cannot read all of these instructions
and follow them accordingly to apply to
become a Moderator,
Then please disregard this topic.



The Private Investigators Forum is the largest Internet discussion board in the world for private investigators, case examiners, and other professionals.

There are several sub-forum openings for Moderators and Sr. Moderators. We need to recruit and train 10 Moderators and Sr. Moderators for the 2018-2019 project of this website.

This website is nothing like anything else in the world for private investigators . . . . . nothing! Yet, we have been challenged with increased demands, having a higher speed connections, having forum software that won't crash, having sponsors in place to help offset the cost of hosting the website, and having qualified and trained Moderators & Sr. Moderators in place.

Historically, all of these items have been accomplished over the last eighteen years. However, some moderators have moved on and we need sufficient numbers of qualified and trained Moderators and Sr. Moderators to enhance our site.



Optional: Fully trained moderators will have the optional opportunity to apply for an investment in the International Private Investigators Union as a partner as some directors and management team members have retired or will be retiring this year. Invested partners will also have the benefits of obtaining agency assignments that are outside of the union affairs of IPIU.

  • Experience as an investigator is not required, but a desire to read up on the subject and to post interesting topics and comments is.
