RIZZASTER

Onboarding a New Moderator

The meeting focused on the process for bringing new moderators into Rizzaster. We discussed the need for a clear and structured onboarding plan to ensure consistency and reduce the learning curve for new volunteers. It was agreed that the first step should be a welcome message from the current moderators, followed by a brief orientation session covering the server’s rules, community values, and communication channels. This will help new moderators understand their role and the expectations placed upon them.

A key decision was made to create a shared document with frequently asked questions and common scenarios that moderators might encounter. This resource will be updated regularly and made available to all moderators. There was also discussion around shadowing experienced moderators during their shifts to gain hands-on experience before working independently. This will help build confidence and familiarity with the community.

A few open questions remain. How long should the shadowing period last before a new moderator is allowed to act independently? Should there be a formal training checklist or a mentorship system in place? Additionally, we need to determine how to handle feedback from new moderators during their early weeks, and whether there should be a formal review process after the onboarding period is complete.
