Role: Moderator

General Information

Moderators are responsible for upholding community values by taking necessary action to ensure that our community guidelines are being followed. For example, moderators may need to remove content and/or members that violate our guidelines, or steer conversations away from topics that are too controversial. Moderators also serve as community experts and will help staff in an advisory capacity when members need assistance or we are looking to make changes. Moderators will report directly to the staff in the overall group hierarchy.
