The whitelist for Rizzaster is managed by the volunteer moderators and is intended to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all players, especially younger users. Currently, the process involves submitting a request through a designated in-game channel, which is then reviewed by at least two moderators before approval. This helps maintain consistency and prevents abuse of the system. Requests are typically processed within 48 hours, though this may vary during busy periods.
There is some debate about whether to introduce a waiting list system to manage the number of new players more effectively, particularly during peak times when the server experiences high traffic. Some moderators are concerned that a waiting list could lead to frustration among younger users who are eager to join and may not understand delays. Others argue that a clear, structured process will help manage expectations and keep the community running smoothly.
Another open question is whether to require parental consent for users under a certain age. While this is a common practice in many community spaces, it's not currently enforced on Rizzaster. The moderators are considering how to handle this without overcomplicating the process or discouraging participation from younger players who may not have direct access to their parents. This will need to be discussed in the next meeting, along with possible alternatives that balance safety with ease of use.
