Staff Expectations
By: Summus Dominus Praeceptor Date: March 27, 2016, 2:12 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
We ask that all of our staff members read and agree to adhere to
the guidelines below in how they conduct themselves in the
execution of their duties. If any forum member has an issue with
staff conduct, please contact the administrator with a personal
message.
Staff Members are expected to set an example for the general
membership at all times – to represent the absolute “best” that
the Community has to offer. To that end:
​
When posting – outside of your duties as a Staff – you must
always remember your dual persona: you are free to be yourself,
but you are also a representative of the Winged Fox Party. As
such, always consider that your words will carry a different
weight and be viewed in a different light. Avoid “gray areas” if
at all possible.
Staff should approach every member – regardless of the situation
– under a banner of mutual respect, and treat them as peers. At
times, members will act in ways that are not aligned with this.
Staff, being held to a higher standard, must take the “high
road” at all times.
Staff Members should never be found in violation of the rules of
this site. This includes having the patience to avoid flaming in
public or anywhere else on the site (PMs, profiles). If a
situation comes to this point, get another Staff involved to
help out. Exceptions can be made.
Staff are expected to know the rules in-depth and apply them
consistently. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.
Staff Members are trusted by the Party and Community to exercise
their responsibilities objectively, without regard to personal
agendas. Pursuits of personal vendettas, using of Staff position
to win debates, and/or treating members differently due to
personal issues (both friend and foe) are expressly prohibited.
Any Staff member whom feels that they cannot ensure this in a
specific situation should seek out another Staff to help out.
Actions taken by Staff should always have a clear reason that is
grounded in the culture and rules. Be as transparent as possible
in sharing the “why” behind your actions.
Take the time to find the root of any dispute you're settling;
check post histories, read the entire argument, etc. Although
you're meant to ensure that the culture and rules are being
followed, always take into account shades of gray. Context is
important. You are on Staff for a reason, trusted for your
perceived ability to make good, appropriate decisions and are
empowered to make them.
Never discuss staff actions in public, or advocate that anyone
do so. Disputes should ALWAYS be private, and promptly taken
care of. Please do not use public humiliation tactics to punish
users, either.
Contact another mod if you're unsure of how to resolve a
situation. Comment on reports, ask in staff chat, or send a PM.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.
Finally, thank you for volunteering to take on what is often a
frustrating task. Know that the leadership of the Alifer Vulpe
trusts your judgment and is behind you at all times. If you have
concerns, never hesitate to raise them.
