The whitelist for Rizzaster is currently managed manually by the volunteer moderators, with a focus on ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all players under 18. To join, interested users must first request access through the designated in-game command or via the community Discord channel. This request is then reviewed by the moderators, who consider factors such as age verification, behavior in the community, and adherence to the server rules. Once approved, the user is added to the whitelist and can join the server.
A new process is being considered to streamline the approval process without compromising safety. This includes the possibility of using a form on the community website where users can provide basic information, such as their age and a brief description of why they want to join. This information would be used solely for moderation purposes and would not be shared publicly. However, this approach raises concerns about data privacy and the potential for misuse of personal information, which needs further discussion.
Moderators have agreed that all users under 13 must be added by a parent or guardian, with explicit consent. This requirement will be enforced strictly, and any attempts to bypass this will result in immediate rejection of the request. There is still some uncertainty about how to handle users between 13 and 18 who do not have a parent or guardian available to approve their request. This is an open question that the moderation team will revisit in the coming weeks.
The team also discussed the possibility of implementing a temporary ban or a waiting period for new users to observe the community before being granted full access. This would allow moderators to assess behavior and ensure that all new members understand and respect the server's values. The exact duration of such a waiting period is still under consideration, and feedback from current members may help inform this decision.
