🛡️ What is a Discord Moderator?
Discord Moderators help moderate our community Discord server, removing inappropriate messages, handling rule-breaking behaviour, and keeping the Discord server a safe and fun place to hang out!
As a Discord Moderator, you are not expected to answer questions or give support to players who have questions.
This role does not have any in-game responsibilities or special ranks on the server.
✍️ How do I apply for Discord Moderator?
We open Discord Moderator applications whenever there are openings on our team. This means they won’t always be available. If applications are currently closed, be sure to keep an eye on announcements in our Discord server, as well as the status at the top of this page (click me).
Before applying, please take a moment to read through the role information and requirements (click me). If you have any questions, make sure to check the rest of this page first; the answer you're looking for is probably here!
When you're ready to apply, head over to the main Discord Moderator application article (click me).
💸 Is Discord Moderator a paid position?
Our Discord Moderators are all volunteers, meaning they are not paid. You can view paid positions on our job website (click me).
🎮Do Discord Moderators receive an in-game rank?
No, as Discord Moderators are solely responsible for moderating our Discord server, they do not receive an in-game rank.
⌚ How long will it take to get a response?
We receive a large number of applications and, unfortunately, we can only respond to successful applicants. Our goal is to contact successful applicants within 30 days. If you haven’t heard back within that time, you can assume your application was not successful on this occasion.
If 30 days have passed and you haven’t received a response, please double-check the following:
- Did I meet all of the requirements?
- Is the information I submitted correct?
- Were my answers detailed enough?
- Do I have any recent punishments in-game or on Discord?
- [Previous Applicants] Have I shown improvement since I last applied?
We also do not respond to applications that have been plagiarized or written with the help of AI or another person
❎ What happens if I don't receive a response?
If you haven’t received a response within 30 days, your application was not successful on this occasion.
You’re welcome to submit a new application once 30 days have passed since your last one.
There’s no limit to how many times you can apply, but if you're submitting the same application repeatedly and not receiving a response, consider taking some time to improve it before trying again.
💌 Can I re-submit the same application multiple times?
We ask that you wait at least 30 days before submitting a new application.
If you haven’t received a response, we recommend reviewing your application a few times before resubmitting it and taking some time to consider what you could improve or expand on. This gives you the chance to include any additional details or improvements you may not have thought of the first time.
✅ What happens if my application gets accepted?
You'll receive an email informing you that you have passed the application stage and are moving on to the next step. This is not a full acceptance, and you can still be denied after this stage. Our initial response will include more information about the next stage of the process.
🚫 I have been punished on The Hive server or Discord before, can I still apply?
Your infractions on all Hive platforms will be taken into account when you apply, but if you have learned from your mistakes and can show us that throughout your application, you will not be automatically denied for having punishments. We also recommend that you wait at least 4-6 months after your most recent punishment has ended before applying.
📱 I only use Discord on my phone, can I still apply?
Yes! As long as you meet the requirements for the role, you are welcome to apply.
🤔 Why do I have to be at least 16 years old to apply?
In short, we cannot store the information of people under a certain age. Since we do ask for your name, email, etc, we must be mindful of who is applying. Another reason for this requirement is that providing assistance to players on the server often requires a fair bit of experience that younger players have not had yet.
You will sometimes have to deal with situations that may be hard to handle if you are younger. While younger players are capable of being a Discord Moderator, we have found that being 16 years old offers enough experience for some players to apply.
🎤 Why do I need a microphone to apply?
We use voice communication as one of the primary ways of providing information to our staff out-of-game. While you don't have to talk all the time, having the option to speak in our voice meetings and events is integral.
🆘 Can I receive help with my application?
Your application should be completed entirely by yourself, including proofreading. As your application is the first time we're getting to know you, it's important for your answers to be written without help from others. However, there is lots of helpful advice and information right here on our Support website!
We will update this article with additional questions as appropriate. Please understand that our support team are not involved with this process and cannot assist with questions or queries related to the role or the application process.
