Moderators or "Mods" are users chosen by the site administration to assist them in enforcing the rules and generally ensuring that the site runs smoothly and the players are happy. There are currently two types of mods, Full Mods and Forum Mods.
Contents
File:SilverFeather.gif Full Mods
Full mods have many powers and handle a multitude of tasks around the site, including but not limited to:
- Enforcing the site rules and ToS
- Freezing users who break the rules/ToS
- Moving, removing, and/or locking forum threads as necessary
- Acting as mediators in user disputes
- Handling reported players, posts, and glitches
- Fixing glitched wajas and reporting glitches they can't handle to the Admin/Coder
- Answering player questions and concerns
Full mods can be identified by the silver feather icon that appears next to their user name. Full mods who also perform another job on the site (such as being an artist) will have a feather that is half silver, with the other half featuring the color of their other position.
File:BronzeFeather.gif Forum Mods
Forum moderators do not possess as much power as full mods, and their job primarily consists of maintaining order on the forums. Some of their responsibilities include enforcing the rules/ToS, moving and/or locking threads, handling reported posts, and answering user questions. If they perform their job well, there is a good chance that forum mods will eventually be promoted to full mods. Forum mods can be identified by the bronze feather icon that appears next to their user name.
It should be noted that if you have an issue that is not related to the forums, you are best off messaging a full mod about it.
Becoming a Mod
There is no sure fire way to become a mod. You cannot request to become one, nor is there an application process. Mods are hand picked by the admin team when there is need for more mods and when they see a player that demonstrates the traits they are seeking. Generally, those recruited to be mods tend to be older players who have shown a strong understanding of the site and how it works, are very familiar with the rules/ToS and follow them, and who demonstrate a desire and willingness to help other players.
