Whitelist Policy and Joining Process

/archive/giveaways/staff-notes/ · last edited 02 Sep 2017 · Partnerships

The whitelist is intended to ensure that only new members are added by existing staff members. This approach helps to prevent the server from becoming flooded with new users and allows the moderation team to maintain a better understanding of who is on the server. The current whitelist is maintained by the moderation team, and new users must be added by at least two staff members before being allowed to join. This ensures that all new users are thoroughly vetted and understood by the team before being added to the server.

Joining the server involves several steps. The first step is for a potential new user to send a private message to two staff members, preferably the ones who will be moderating them most closely. The staff members will then review the user's application and assess their potential to fit in with the community. This assessment takes into account factors such as the user's behavior, their understanding of the community's rules, and their willingness to follow instructions. If the staff members deem the user suitable, they will send a private message back to the user with instructions on how to get set up on the server.

It's worth noting that the moderation team will also review all new user applications to ensure they are being sent to the correct staff members. It's also worth discussing the potential for a new "onboarding" process for new users, perhaps in the form of a guide or a Q&A session with a staff member. This could help new users get a better understanding of the server's rules and culture, and make the onboarding process more efficient.

Open questions regarding the whitelist policy include how to handle users who are trying to circumvent the whitelist by finding a third party to add them for them. The team should also discuss how to handle situations where a user is deemed unsuitable by one staff member but not the other. In general, the goal is to maintain a balanced approach that prioritizes safety and community cohesion while also being flexible enough to accommodate new users.
