Moderation

If you would like to help behind the scenes and keep Pokimono running, this form is the long version. The questions are detailed on purpose so we can see how you would work with the mod team — go through them when you have time to answer thoughtfully. Read the community rules first so your answers line up with how we moderate.

Mod OC

Mods keep a mod OC in Pokimono. The character builder allows Legendary Pokémon for that slot, and that is part of the role. Once you are on the mod team, have that mod OC application ready to submit within two weeks.

Role & when you are around

Which track sounds closer?

Leader leans toward organizing longer projects in Discord threads and checking in with people. Guardian leans toward day-to-day chat coverage and stepping in when other mods are away.

Roughly how much time can you give in a typical week?

Timezone & when you are usually on Discord

How can the mod team reach you if something urgent comes up? (Raids, harassment spikes, safety issues.)

You & Pokimono

Helps us see how you would fit in and who you already know in play.

Your history with Pokimono (or how you found us)

Why do you want to mod here specifically?

How familiar are you with our site rules and lore pages right now?

1 = still learning, 5 = read them closely and could explain the main points to someone new.

Still learning3Very familiar

How do you keep up with rules and lore?

Experience & Discord habits

Honest answers help us see whether modding here is a good fit for you and for the group.

1 = not well, 5 = very well.

Not well3Very well

Discord modding, bots, or behind-the-scenes stuff?

1 = little/none so far, 5 = you have run channels, bots, tickets, or similar for a good while.

Little / none3Quite a bit

Any modding or community-hosting background?

What would you like to bring to the mod team?

Apps, sheets & what you look for

Pokimono leans on character sheets, village fit, and tone — this helps us see how you read the queue.

When you look at apps or roster fit, what matters to you?

Scene checks

Short answers are great — we want your instincts, not an essay.

Someone floods chat with offensive content — what do you actually do?

Two players disagree on metagaming — how do you handle it?

A dispute is your friend vs someone you barely know — how do you keep it fair?

Someone is upset about a mod call (maybe not yours) — what is your move?

Heavy real-world topics or trauma-adjacent RP — how do you hold the rules while still being kind?

Comfort & NSFW

Okay helping in NSFW channels?

YesNo

Do you tend to notice loose ends and pick them up without being @'d?

1 = you like a clear handoff, 5 = you often spot the next step before anyone assigns it.

Rarely3Pretty often

Character art & written application review

Intake often touches sheets, writing, and how things look side by side.

Willing to review art and written apps in detailOkay dipping in once expectations are spelled outPrefer other kinds of mod work first — art and written apps are not my main focus

What is your communication style?

Your rhythm in mod chat

Pick the option that best matches you — there is not one right answer.

Something needs doing but nobody claimed it. You tend to…

Step in or post in mod chat so it does not sit unassignedHang back and see if someone else grabs itUsually wait until someone points me at it

How you like requests to land

Concrete asks when I hop inA loose goal — I break it into steps myselfA mix, depending on what it is

Work rhythm

I take initiative once I know the shape of the workQuick steer first, then I roll with itClear tasks and gentle check-ins suit me best

Keeping the loop

Modding runs more smoothly when people check shared spaces, speak up before deadlines slip, and leave clear notes for whoever picks up next — without needing an @ for every step.

I check pins, mod boards, and threads for work I can pick up before someone @s me.

1 = I usually wait for a ping, 5 = I check shared queues on my own.

Wait for ping3Check on my own

If a deadline looks at risk, I say something respectfully — even when I am not lead.

1 = I usually wait, 5 = I flag it early so the team can adjust.

Usually wait3Flag early

When I finish a chunk of mod work, I leave a note so the next person is not guessing.

1 = I often move on without writing much down, 5 = I almost always leave a clear handoff.

Light notes3Clear handoffs

A time you moved something forward without being named owner

Voice calls, docs & tools

Scheduled voice mod calls

Mod calls here are voice in Discord. Pick what fits your schedule and how you like to work.

Weekly or biweekly voice mod calls are fineMonthly or occasional voice mod calls onlyPrefer written chat in threads or shared docs; live voice only rarely or not for me

Google Docs / Sheets and written feedback to players

1 = light touch or still building confidence, 5 = very comfortable leaving comments and structured notes.

Light touch3Very comfortable

Boundaries & recharging

Topics, duties, or emotional loads you would rather not solo-lead

Burnout tells for you and how you reset

Mod OC — Legendary Pokémon

Mods keep a mod OC that may use a Legendary species in the character builder. Share what you are drawn to right now — your final pick can change later; this just gives the team a sense of direction.

Which Legendary are you interested in for your mod OC?
