Mod elementary
Review first with a community overseer or a senior mod before getting promoted as JrMod.
Review the rules
- What counts as grief and what doesn’t. How permissions are given, how to check perms. Killing, traps, dropped loot. What can be enforced and what can’t.
- Where to draw the lines for kid appropriate talk. What counts as bullying.
- Understand cheating. Review which mods are not allowed. Note that the list is not exhaustive.
How mods operate
- Keep an eye on what’s happening when you’re online, take action in chat if the somethings seems to get out of line
- Follow the alerts on discord and ingame. Discord alerts are not 100% reliable, always double check ingame what’s going on.
- Assume good intentions until there’s proof of malicious intent.
- Never use mod tools for personal gain or against other players for fun. Be responsible, players rely on you and look up to you.
- Keep the discussion about moderating decisions in the moderator discussion channel on discord.
- Moderate in public chat when possible, so other mods can see what is happening.
- Mods are expected to be online often, but not all the time. We all have lives. For more than 5 days’ absence please let the team know.
Welcoming new members
- Welcome and guide new members, be available for questions and encourage everyone to read the rules. Less work later if everyone gets a rule reminder when they first join.
- Always keep an eye on new players for a while to make sure they’ve come to play and not cause problems
