Moderation Philosophy

Moderation as a practice presents a variety of topics and themes that offer a fascinating look at how governance looks in the context of online communities. While many assume a moderator's job is simply to decide which content is and isn't allowed for a particular space, there is so much more that a moderation team has to determine. We've curated these Discord Moderation Academy articles that take a more abstract, philosophical look at the practice- ranging from exploring differing moderation styles to examining the moderator/user dynamic, and beyond.

What you’ll know by the end of the course

  • You'll have a better understanding of the role a moderator plays in your community and how they're expected to conduct themselves.
  • You'll learn about the different ways that a moderation team can be categorized and quantified.
  • You'll become familiar with what goes into developing a sustainable and scalable community governance structure that works for your users.
  • You'll familiarize yourself with the unique ways your community will interact with your team outside from just content moderation.
