Volunteers needed for the moderation team! about ayo HOT 17 CLOSED

I'll throw my hat in this, I think.

I've found that representation of folks from a wide variety of backgrounds has been one of the most important aspects of an effective moderation team when you're trying to make sure you resolve things in a healthy and empathic way -- and this matters a lot more in the initial selection of folks.

I would really really appreciate it if folks reading this who don't belong to a majority of contributors also threw their hats into this. I think the moderation process should be such that those folks aren't burdened with being the ones that take action all the time, but just having y'all there so we can check in with you during tricky situations would be invaluable. I hope you'll volunteer too <3

[edit by @zkat: after reading this I realized it might be implying that we don't already have some level of varied representation in the volunteers so far -- we do! Just hoping we get more folks, specially for the bits we're missing.]

Will official moderation team members receive armbands with the letters "MT" embroidered on it?

Hello! I'd like to nominate myself ✨

from ayo.

Can I leave that decision to you? I'd be happy to help in whatever way I can

Time-zones might be a thing to consider, assuming we will want a moderator available at any given time. I am currently GMT+1 (London).

I'd gladly contribute to moderation – I've been watching this space fairly closely anyway. Feel free to pop me an email or a twitter.

@srilq You may want to join the Discord, since that's likely to become a center for discussion about moderation stuff (we have an admin channel there)

Nothing like that... Slight exaggeration. Stickers for the laptop would be a nice thought later down the road.

I think the strongest skills I can bring to Ayo.js are patience and amicability, so I would love to help with this.

Hi 👋

Would be happy to help!

I nominate myself to be a member of the moderation team. 😄 BTW, I'm also the guy willing to help build the website. ayojs/ayojs.tech#2 not sure if it conflicts with this role.

@siddharthkp one cannot be a member of the moderation team and the core team, so you can only apply for one team I'm afraid.

@BTBaum Could you clarify? To me your comment is either:

1. Likening us to some kind of military police.
2. Asking for special badges for team members or something of the sort.
3. None of the above.

As you have made a contribution to Ayo before, I'm leaning towards 2. but clarification would be awesome. Thanks!

from ayo.

@zkat Yup - you can catch me there too! I think the admin channel might be private (I can't see it).

thanks everyone for volunteering! we're going to close this issue and over the next days, the current founding members are coming up with a list of members for the teams! we'll update this issue once we've assembled that list.

from ayo.

the ayo moderation team consists of:

• @scotttrinh
• @siddharthkp
• @NoahDragon
• @janl
• @zkat
• @srilq
• @AgentAntelope
• @SomeHats

we will create a discord role and channel, so everyone mentioned in here, please make sure to join our discord (link in the readme!)
