Tip

This page outlines the specific moderation-related actions that may be performed by non-moderator members (referred to here as external moderators). These individuals are granted limited, conditional permissions to assist with certain community functions.

# Permission Requirements:

All actions listed in the tables below require explicit approval from the Moderation Team (MT) before being carried out. There are two exceptions to this rule:

MaD debugging may be performed freely and does not require prior approval.
Event bans may be issued directly by the event host without requesting MT permission.

# Scope and Limitations:

External moderators are not official moderators. As such, they must not:

Handle moderation appeals of any kind.
Act beyond the specific permissions outlined in this documentation.

# Discord Policy:

External moderators have no authority or involvement in any Discord-related moderation or actions.

Please review the tables below for a detailed breakdown of the approved actions and their conditions.
