## **Staff Guidelines**

These are the guidelines for how staff should conduct themselves:

* **Be a leader.**

You're not in charge of the chat, but are leaders of the chat. Set the example by having great conversations and supporting users. The ideal chat mod is a facilitator, someone who is encouraging and helps people feel supported and empowered.

* **Be friendly.**

As a leader, you set the tone for the channel. If you're friendly and welcoming, others will follow your lead. If someone is acting rude or confrontational, react calmly and politely as you enforce the rules.

* **Assume good faith.**

Users of all skill levels and opinions will participate in chat. Even if someone makes a mistake, they are still likely trying to be a positive part of the discussion. Assume that mistakes are made out of good intentions, not malice.

* **Ban with care.**

Banning someone from chat is rarely the first option. If a user has problematic behavior, encourage them to improve the behavior before you resort to banning them.

* **Be willing to ban your friends**.

If your friends act out and continue to do so after all the warnings, you must be willing to ban and keep the ban in place until it runs out. No unbanning them after a few minutes, the ban must run out.

* **Keep it fun.**

Chat should be fun for everyone, including you! If you find yourself getting stressed, it's always okay to take a break. Chat should be a place where you too can relax, enjoy yourself, and help others have a good time.

* **Please be aware that chat moderators and administrators may lose their positions**

If you are chat moderator or an administrator, and you are banned for longer than two hours, your position may be revoked.
