Moderators

**Moderators** are the official rule-enforcers of Growtopia. They assist other players with problems and handle disputes among the community. Some of them are volunteer players and are not required to spend a set time of moderating.

Moderators picked from the community are granted special commands that normal players are restricted to use. As a reward for their hard work and dedication of moderating the community, they are usually rewarded with various items. Such items include:

* Duct Tape
* Freeze Wand
* Fire Wand

## Original Developers

The original developers are the creators of the game. They were responsible for things implemented in the game. Like moderators, they enforced the rules in the game.

## Ubisoft Staff Members

In addition to helping to moderate the game, these moderators are also part of the game development team.

@Ubidev &  @UbiOps are Ubisoft's test accounts but are considered developer accounts.

@Qadevone and @qadevtwo are also Ubisoft test accounts, used by the Quality Assurance team.

## Voluntary Moderators

These voluntary moderators hand-picked from the community, as already stated, enforce the rules of the game.

### Former Voluntary Moderators

Former voluntary moderators are players who were previously moderators but have been demoted either for their wrongdoings, being inactive, or voluntarily stepping down.
