Discord moderator application template and interview follow-ups

A Discord moderator application template: raid, ticket, recusal, and leak scenarios, plus the live interview questions to use on the shortlist.

Written form first. Voice only for the shortlist.

Use this when the role can timeout, kick, or ban. Helpers can skip the raid and leak scenarios. Admins need an extra staff-on-staff conflict. Generate a full form with the staff application generator; use the interview bank on the people who pass.

Written Discord moderator application

  1. Availability: timezone, weekly hours, whether you can take an overnight ping.
  2. Experience: prior mod teams, why you left, a tag we can message.
  3. Raid: three new accounts posting porn and invites. First five minutes, who you ping, what you log.
  4. Ticket: a user reports a popular regular. The regular is in your friend list.
  5. Leak: a screenshot of a report is in a public meme channel. What you salvage.
  6. Burnout: you have been on duty six nights. A ping comes in. What do you do.
  7. Integrity: bans, blacklists, recusal. The honest version is usable.

How to score it

Judgement, integrity, hours, writing, server knowledge. Integrity at 1–2 is a no even if the raid answer is perfect. Use the scorecard so the next reviewer is not guessing why you said trial.

Interview only the shortlist

Steal prompts. Interrupt speeches.

Do not voice-interview everyone. For the people who passed, steal prompts from the moderator interview tool: owner-offline, recusal, ticket escalation, a helper who over-punishes. Interrupt speeches. You want the next five minutes of an incident.

Trial before Ban Members

Approve into a trial mod role with a probation window. Say that on the form so they are not surprised. The bot can promote when the window ends, or you pull access from the dashboard.

Copy is fine for a one-off. A queue, Discord login, and a bot that assigns the role is how you stop losing applications in staff chat.
