Staff Structure

## How the Staff Team Works

Here are described the different roles of the Prism Staff. It is worth noting that both the President and the Owner have to agree on a staff member occupying (or not occupying) a role.

The roles are split in 3 distinct main "groups":

### 1) Technical Management: manage the technical side of the server. Make sure the server itself is up and running.

**1.1 Owner:** pretty self explanatory, this person owns the server and is the only one to decide who accesses the console.

**1.2 Adjudicators:** the Adjudicators are the owner's most trusted associates and can, in the owner's absence, act as his representative and overseers. Some of them might be granted console access and might even be able to do the server-console-work in the owner's stead. Adjudicators also partake in Congress, essentially approving/vetoing presidential decisions.

**1.4 Technical specialist:** this person researches the appropriate plugins asked by the Decision-making body and helps the owner properly setting them up on the server. They also can also be tasked with helping the owner with the server configuration and other very technical tasks.

### 2) Decision-making body

**2.1 President:** the President is elected by the server members and their goal is to maintain the server's well being for the duration of their mandate.

**2.2 Vice-President:** the Vice-President is the President's backup, acting to provide essential guidance for the President. The VP will get access to the Cabinet and thus, will assist in voting for or against the current suggestions, assisting the President on how those suggestions would be implemented.

**2.3 Cabinet members:** the people the president will seek for personal advice. They must remain objective in their decisions.

### 3) In-game management (acting-body)

**3.1 Head Administrator:** in charge of the acting-body, they coordinate Administrators and Moderators. They also handle Moderators recruitment and promotions to Administrator.

**3.2 Administrators:** the Administrators have full OP-rights on the server. Therefore they are most trusted by the Owner and the President not to abuse it. Their job is to handle the in-game heavy duty. They can for example intervene in case of griefing to rollback the area or world-edit a monstrosity out of this world. Administrators can also do the Moderators job if necessary.

**3.3 Moderators:** the Moderators are tasked with handling the more social aspect of the in-game (and Discord) administration. That includes whitelisting, blacklisting, settling disputes and banning if necessary. They get access to spectator mode and... other moderating tools. 👀

**3.4 Moderators in Training:** These are Prismians who wish to travel the Moderation journey, and first must complete a series of tasks and cases to become a Moderator. This title is the one appointed for those who apply to become a moderator for the Prism SMP. This role can be removed as easily as it was provided as the Trainees must act as professional as those above them, regardless of the Training in their name.

### Other notable roles:

**4.1 Head of Civil Affairs:** This role is given to the Head of the Civil Affairs Department. They will approve or deny applications. Previously known as the Head of Recruitment, they act as the voice of the Civil Affairs team, giving suggestions and highlighting facts for the Civil Affairs Officers. They will handle the applications and behaviour of their team.

**4.2 Civil Affairs Officer:** This role is given to members of the Prism SMP who wish to join the Recruitment team. The demands of the Civil Affairs team have since expanded to include the control over the communities, and providing for the social aspect of the server. The Civil Affairs team are controlled under the Head of Civil Affairs and provide the advertising for the SMP, as well as other social jobs.

**4.3 Head of Construction:** This role is given to the Head of the Construction Department. They will approve or deny applications or they will give instructions and provide the help necessary for the Builders to complete the requests of the Cabinet, Owner and Events team.

**4.4 Builders:** This role is provided to those who wish to be part of the Builders Department. It is to be noted that the Builders are not a community, and instead a staff-owned department, meaning for a build to be constructed by the Builders team as a whole, it would have been verified by the staff team.

**4.5 Head of Event Planning:** This role is given to the Head of the Event Planning Department. They will accept or deny applications and they will approve or deny suggestions for events, as well as ask for the other departments to help the project if necessary.

**4.6 Event Planners:** This role is provided to members of the Prism SMP who wish to join the Event Planners Team. Their job requires for them to prepare the event locations, give suggestions, help approve or deny event suggestions and help with the production of any and all events.

**4.7 Head of Lorekeeping:** This role is given to the Head of the Lorekeepers and that Department. They will organise the Museum and Library, accept or deny applications and are the main deciding factor on what goes forward or not in the department. They will also be the speaker for the department regarding any lore based events.

**4.8 Lorekeepers:** This role is provided to those who wish to be part of the Lorekeeping team. They will provide suggestions and will be the main force for finding out information and providing historic backgrounds. Lorekeepers are the equivalent of moderators for the Library and Museum.
