Hello and welcome to an in depth guide on how to become and act like a moderator in the geopolitical game of WarEra.
Make sure you comply with these 10 steps and you will fit in perfectly
If mean words hurt your feelings and you wish to censor half the dictonary, apply right away! Does not apply to racist spam by russians, those are allowed to an extent. The more intune you are with your feelings and less with logic, the better. PS! Remember that explicit imagery is only allowed if you are the developer and like feet.
Is your country losing a major battle? Be sure to act before the war is over and ban players for a technical reason even though similar cases have gone unpunished. Don't worry, you can respond to their ticket in 2 days time and unban them afterwards. No need to restore any damage or gold either, that's only done for your friends.
Did you never learn to consistently draw inside the lines in preschool? Perfect, consistency is a stupid concept. Just hand out your ban or mute based on whether you like the player or not! The best part is, they don't even have to break any rules if you simply are offended. See point 1.
Make sure to spend a long time arguing against people on discord over petty reasons so it looks like you are swarmed with work to do. That way you can feel important and complain that you are babysitting while avoiding focusing on the important tickets.
Be sure to reward yourself for your hard work by using your powers and influence in your favour. Whether you need to correct a strategic mistake, you need an economical boost or silence your adverseries. These are only a few of the benefits you will receive!
Uh oh, someone called out your abuse of powers and players are mad! No problem, just mute them and say something in the lines of "this is not a kindergarten". Truly a power move!
A concept foreign to you is becoming popular in the game. It's okay if you don't understand it, a quick search with Google AI will tell you it's nazism. Better safe and sorry, just ban! Who needs research anyway? Why not go ahead and introduce an auto-mute filter who will do the work for you? A truly Gigabrain idea.
Your best chance of becoming a moderator is by being out of touch. The less you interact with and understand about the game dynamic, the higher the chances. If you previously have about 5 messages sent in total, perfect! Other popular methods include offering your free labour such as editing the wikipedia. Don't worry about being clueless, the important part is that you are biased and out of touch.
Actively encourage more and harsher punishments. Context does not matter, your job is to drain the joy of the game as much as you can! Don't worry about the players that actually disrupt the game, that is not your job.
Never under any circumstances question the status quo of moderation. It is important to hold hands as a team and sing Kumbaya. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" is the team motto.
