Line #37 Administrivia/KnowTheStaff


1	So as to maintain the order in the wiki and elsewhere on the site, Website/TVTropes has a staff in charge of moderating the behaviour in them. The following is a list of all of the staff members, including site owners, the moderators and some more people with more specific roles.
2
3	Most requests for staff assistance concern moderators. For wiki-side issues you can contact them on AskTheTropers; use the "private" checkbox on the post form if the request has to be private. In the forums, you make a report for the moderators by clicking the Holler button by that post ([[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ellipsis.png it looks like this]]). If you want actions with regards to locked articles and other technical wiki page requests, use [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17 this forum thread]].
4
5	If you have been suspended, '''do not PM a moderator'''. See Administrivia/WhatToDoIfYouAreSuspended for instructions.
6
7	Please note that general issues should not be PM'ed to individual moderators, as there's no guarantee that they will read their inbox at any particular time. If you need to talk to a specific staff member, you can use the Private Messaging system. First click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of any page, select "Message", click on "Create a PM" in the top bar, and then put their handle in the "To Troper:" field. This message will reach them as soon as they next visit the site and open their mailbox.
8
9	For general policy queries, we have a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16037500180A26540800 Wiki and Forum Policy]] discussion thread.

11	!!Moderator Code of Conduct (site wide)
12	* Moderators, whether in "troper mode" or "mod mode", are expected to abide by the wiki's behavior policies and conduct themselves accordingly.
13	* When posting in "mod mode", moderators are expected to maintain a professional tone. Wit is not discouraged, but excessively snarky, mean-spirited, or tangential commentary is not permitted.
14	* While private messages can and will be used as evidence in disciplinary actions as needed, moderators will not otherwise inspect tropers' [=PMs=].
15	* Moderators will recuse themselves from mod action in any situation they are personally involved in, aside from being allowed to defend their actions as needed.
16
17	If you have complaints or concerns about specific moderation decisions, please raise them directly with the admins [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/contact.php via the "Contact TV Tropes" form]]. Selecting "The Staff" on the form will send your message to the admins without making it visible to mods.
