When it comes to this forum, I'm a complete noob I wont lie. However I am not a Novice, I've done my time fielding questions, handling toxic communities and toxic moderators. Best way to get a feel is to look around, so I took my time reading through posts and comments ( unfortunately I'm not a skimmer ) and a few questions popped up.. so I figured that hey .. I'd ask those questions and if I come out looking like a dumbass then so be it ?
: I found the list of who does what ** job** but I didn't find one stating what each job entails... eg.. what's an administrators role/s and responsibilities v's that of a moderator.. sounds simple.. but from what I'm seeing.. numerous people can place bans.. but whose held accountable if the bans wrong.. and what happens from there?
: What happens when a team member is feeling pressured by another team member or feel like they can't say their mind for fear of losing their place in the team?
: What is the correct Chain of command ideally.. eg.. you go to a forum moderator.. u don't feel you're being treated fairly and or being heard, what's the next step?
: Are there meetings for the community to have their input and feedback on? If their input was listened to is there a follow up on what actions come from that input or why it was decided against?.. Can't please everyone
: I saw a few comments where pms were sent to a team member but not responded to, even with rl happening that shouldn't be an issue, some kind of response within 24hrs should be a no brainer.. and when technology screws up and a notification is missed.. shouldn't a hey sorry I missed your message be just a common courtesy.. even if its days later?
: The main thing I'm seeing though is lack of communication between the player base and members of staff, an easy fix..Is that an issue that's being discussed between the team as it seems an ongoing issue?
Being part of a moderating team is a thankless job most days, my questions are genuine and easily answerable. If someone has an issue relating to one of my questions I ask that you please keep the toxicity out ?
