Hey folks, we are currently seeking moderators to handle the influx of new users and as such, we're taking applications!
Here's a brief summary of what we expect conduct-wise from a moderator.
- Encourage and promote respectful and constructive discussions, and address any behaviour that goes against our community's spirit to be(e) nice.
- Assist people by answering their questions, offering guidance, and helping them navigate the platform effectively, ensuring they feel heard.
- Where possible, give us and/or your fellow active mods concerns, improvements, or insights you have from your section of our community.
And here's a brief summary of the powers you would be given as a part of the job. You would be expected to use these responsibly in the community you are chosen to moderate.
- The ability to remove or hide posts, comments, or other content that violate our community guidelines.
- The authority to issue warnings to users who breach our mantra, and in severe cases, temporarily suspend their accounts. (We encourage a compassionate approach here, though. Unless someone is clearly unproductive, we encourage you to engage in constructive dialogue before banning. And if you don't have the energy for this, you can flag a post to bring it to our attention.)
Note that if you ever find yourself unsure about how to handle a situation, you could also flag it and leave it for us to deliberate. If you need to immediately contact us, you can currently do so in through Discord (where we have a dedicated community mod channel), Matrix or with a DM on Beehaw itself.
