MODERATION TEAM'S STRUCTURE & ROLES:
This thread's purpose is to explain how our team is organized, what each moderation role does, and who moderates over what.
We believe this structure will allow us to scale the team in a way that keeps things consistent and well organized.
MODERATION TEAM'S ORGANIZATION:
If anyone would like to take on any of the open roles please let us know here!
* Also note: Moderators are community volunteers who perform these duties on their free time and for the benefit of all, we are not TW employees
To make the distinction clearer, employees now have gold rank banners on their profiles & gold borders around their posts while volunteer staff ranks remain red.
