Moderators keep our forums and Discord running smoothly.

I’m looking for a new moderator to join the team.

Duties
  • Periodically checking the forums to ensure everything is running smoothly. Moderators are not expected to read every single thread, but to be generally aware of forum activity.
  • Handling reported posts in the forums.
  • Working with the other Moderators to resolve any conflicts or issues that may arise.
  • Handles forum and Discord actions such as closing threads, requesting edits, editing posts, and deleting posts.
  • Logs actions within moderation spreadsheet to track what has occurred with specific members.
Qualifications:
  • Must be a member of at least 3 months in good standing.
  • Must check the boards regularly.
  • Must possess tact and discretion.
  • Must be willing to learn how to use Xenforo moderation actions.
  • Must be willing to turn on 2-factor authentication on your forum account for the duration of your service.
  • Must be willing to remove all users from ‘ignore’ on the forums and keep them that way for the duration of your service.

Two of our Moderators also hold additional roles in the Department. We will be filling one of these - the Seat of Pardon. You will be working as a regular Moderator most of the time, as the Seat/Chair roles are only used for special circumstances. Please read below for more about how these roles work:

Seat of Pardon
  • Focuses on advocating for members who activate moderation action.
  • Reaches out to the member to get their side of the story.
  • Makes recommendations to the Director in consultation with the Chair of Rebuke.
Chair of Rebuke
  • Focuses on applying the Code of Conduct and Discipline Guide to actions that occur on the forums and in Discord.
  • Makes recommendations to the Director in consultation with the Seat of Pardon.

Special Notes:
Moderators are Moderators.

There will be no overlap with specific roles/areas of the site. If you hold a moderator position, you will be ineligible to hold such positions as the following:
  • Board of Directors
  • Executive Level Position
  • The Hall
  • Company Commander / Head of Ajah
If you’re currently holding any of these positions and the desire to be a moderator remains, stepping down from these positions to hold the moderator role will be required. No exceptions.

Please send your applications to moderation@tarvalon.net and keeper@tarvalon.netwith the subject "APPLICATION - MODERATOR - YOUR NAME HERE" by May 22, 2025. In your application, explain why you think you’d fit the role along with relevant experience - including how you would serve as the Seat of Pardon.

Reminder - one more week to apply!!
 
Hey everyone! Due to the busyness of RL events, and what my co-worker accurately coined today - “May-cember” - because this month is so hectic in general, we are extending the application deadline out a couple of weeks. Please submit applications for either general Moderator or the Seat of Pardon by Friday, June 6th.

Thanks!! ^^
