Moderation Team

The Star Sonata Moderation Team is recruiting! Moderation in Star Sonata exists to make sure that all of the chats provide a welcoming place and positive experience. If you are passionate about the game and want to give back to the community, please consider joining the Moderation Team!

Mission and Goal Statement

If you’re thinking about becoming a Moderator, here are some more details about the mission and goals of the team.

• Keep the chats clean of anything considered offensive or inappropriate.
• Strictly moderate anything that makes people feel unwelcome, including but not limited to: racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other form of bigotry.
• Keep discussion civil, and ensure that they stay on topic. Those who seek to start fights should be cleanly excised from conversations so that the discussion can continue.

To ensure that we keep community support for moderation, we must:

• Lead by example by following the chat rules ourselves at all times.
  • We cannot enforce rules that we don’t follow ourselves.
• Make sure players follow the community guidelines.
• Strive to eliminate any bias or perception of bias in moderation.
• Avoid disrupting normal conversation whenever possible.
• Our chat rules are consolidated into one master set of rules here, and they will apply to all public chat in-game, on discord, and private messages in-game if they are reported.
  • Ideally, moderation should apply to the individual behind the computer as much as possible, but in the cases of account-sharing, punishments should be considered to apply both to the person behind the screen as well as anyone using that account.

Paxian Disciple

If you’re interested in the design and development process of Star Sonata, there is another community role that you can apply for. The *Paxian Disciples* are community members who are invited to attend weekly dev meetings and provide a player perspective on the ongoing work. If you’re interested to learn more about becoming a Paxian Disciple, here is what is expected of the role:

• Regularly attending and participating in our weekly meetings.
• Representing the interests of your subgroup in the community.
• Providing feedback on how our work in progress may impact the game.
• Relaying information from the meetings in a factual manner to the community at large.

Worried about not having anything to add during the meetings? That is perfectly OK. We’re happy to just have you in attendance!
