Welcome to the Flamebearers Community Moderator Team! As part of our admin family, you play a key role in keeping our community friendly, vibrant, and safe. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you settle into your new role.
1. Understanding Your Role
Familiarize yourself with your responsibilities based on your role:
- Arcane Sentinels: Lead decision-makers and mentors.
- Star Wardens: Friendly community guides, keeping harmony and order.
- Realm Wardens: Tech support wizards, ensuring all systems run smoothly.

Refer to the role descriptions provided in our guide for detailed duties and expectations. Don’t hesitate to reach out to other admins if you have questions!
2. Getting Started: Essential Tools and Permissions
Once you’re added to the team, you’ll gain access to certain moderation tools. Here’s a quick overview:
- Mod Panel Access: Located in the upper right corner of Discord. Here, you can review member reports, assign roles, or moderate posts.
- Moderation Commands: Access to commands like /ban, /mute, and /warn. Only use these when necessary.

Familiarize yourself with these tools—try out some test commands if needed, and ask an Arcane Sentinel if you’re unsure!
3. Community Guidelines & Culture

4. Handling Issues and Escalating When Needed
Not every situation will require major intervention, but when an issue does arise, here’s how to handle it:
- Minor Issues: Redirect off-topic discussions, gently remind members of rules, and handle minor conflicts.
- Serious Issues: Use warnings, mutes, or bans when necessary. Document the action taken in the mod chat and notify other admins.
- Escalation: If the issue is complex, or if it’s someone you have a close relationship with, reach out to another admin for support.
5. Keeping the Server Organized
