These are the moderation policies which the staff team follow and you adknowledge by joining our community.
Moderators hold the power to remove members, with good reason, from the community at any time. However, as a member you hold the power to communicate with the moderation team if you disagree with a staff members punishment. Moderator Discression does not mean a staff member can remove any member they want for any reason and if misconduct is found a staff member may be removed.
At Archcord, we hold an open policy regarding moderation with all our moderation logs publicly viewable by all members in our community allowing members to criticise punishments for any reason they see fit. We ask that community members open this in a ticket channel instead of the general channels to prevent community disruption.
If the community deems an administrator to be unfit at any point, they must retract from their position and allow the community to vote on a fit successor. A 30-day window between the administrator being removed and the new administrator coming into effect, where the previous administrator retains power is used to allow the community time to decide on a new administrator. For this policy to go through, at minimum 90% of the TOTAL community must agree in a public poll to this going ahead. For example if the community consists of 1000 members, 900 must agree to this.
At any point an administrator may remove a member from the community if they are deemed unfit for the community, regardless of complicance with Code of Conduct. This rule cannot be abused and can be challenged at any time by a member however an administrator is not required to disclose information if the topic is of a sensitive matter.
