Moderators

Protospiel Online is committed to creating a welcoming environment for designers and playtesters of all backgrounds. 

To help ensure our events can live up to that promise, we’ll have moderators covering our Discord voice channels during open hours for every event.

Truly great moderators must have excellent people skills and stay engaged and vigilant throughout their shift.  This kind of work requires a fair amount of emotional energy, so we feel it’s only appropriate to compensate our moderators for their time.

We are accepting applications for moderator positions and particularly encourage BIPOC, LGBTQ, and female gamers to apply.

Job Responsibilities

Before an event

  • Coordinate with organizers and other mods in the Discord #moderator-general group chat
  • Sign up to cover 4 or more scheduled hours of moderator duty per event
  • Choose from 3 posts: Coffee Talk Voice, LFG Voice, or Tech Chat Voice + Table Circuit
  • Read instructions for Protospiel Online procedures under #moderator-handbook in Discord.
  • Read our Code of Conduct
  • Attend a video call training session with organizers to learn how to moderate your chosen post
  • (Optional) Respond to registration messages sent to our @Front Desk direct message inbox

During an event

  • While covering a shift, connect via both voice and video in your assigned Discord voice channel(s)
  • Respond to messages sent to our @Front Desk direct message inbox (registration, questions, conflict resolution, etc)
  • Welcome newcomers into your voice channel; be the default friendly face
  • Guide attendees in using each voice channel for its intended purpose
  • Answer attendees’ questions about Protospiel Online procedures, Discord, virtual tabletops, etc
  • Hold attendees accountable to following our Code of Conduct

Apply

  • Upload a picture of your smiling face for our public Attendees directory. The file size limit is 1MB.
    NOTE: If your image is 1MB-5MB, compress it with tinypng.com. For files over 5MB, compress with highcompress.com on the Super setting, then compress the file from highcompress.com with tinypng.com. Always use tinypng.com for your final compression pass. highcompress.com may give you a file labeled <1MB, but our system will throw an error whenever tinypng.com is not the final compression step.
