Moderators - Protospiel Online

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.
