With the arrival of the Discord and the decline in chat moderators on the wiki over the past few months, we currently have multiple positions open.
What are Discussion, Chat and Discord Moderators
Discussion Moderators are users who oversee multiple places in the wiki such as the Forums, Discussion, Article Comments, Message Walls, and Chat. They are responsible for maintaining the wiki and making sure it remains spam free and keeping the community positive. Chat moderators oversee the chat, issuing warnings and kicking and banning spammers and trolls who don't adhere to the chat rules. Both Discussion and Chat mods are extra rights within the wiki. Discord Moderators are users who moderate the discord by ensuring users adhere to the Discord rules, deleting messages which violate our rules, and banning disruptive users from the communities. Discord Moderators are not a function within the wiki, just within the Discord.
The Discord can be accessed by clicking here. You can also view the Chat & Discord Moderators polices here.
Chat, Discussion and Discord Moderators Duties
- Keep watch over the chat making sure the chat guidelines are being followed.
- Answer questions regarding editing and policies (pointing users to correct pages).
- Issue a warning before kicking/banning someone from chat. (Kicking a user from chat, just because they asked to be is not permitted.)
- Resolving conflict diplomatically.
- Maintain an overall mature and friendly demeanor when interacting with other users.
