We're Looking for Volunteer Moderators for an Official Discord!

We are looking forward to opening our first official Dungeons & Dragons Online Discord, and we are looking for some members of the community to volunteer to help make it a reality! Since Discord is an always-on text and voice communication tool we are hoping to gather volunteers to help keep an eye on things. We are required by law to not provide formal compensation for your volunteer service, but you will be helping to make an official Discord happen, you'll have direct communication with us, and we'll do our best to conduct periodic random giveaways for codes for volunteers.

Volunteers will need to sign a legal document with us called a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This agreement will be drafted by the Daybreak legal team and you must agree to it in order to become a volunteer. This allows us to communicate with you as a moderator. You will need to provide us with personal information including your real name and address, contact information, and game account user name.

Volunteer Moderators will help me moderate the DDO Discord by supporting our community rules, assigning roles, and being available to answer general questions. You will never be asked to volunteer during a certain time frame, and there will never be a schedule for moderators. You'll simply be around to help when your time permits and you are active in the Discord.

To learn more and apply, follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BDRJFKZ

We have not yet announced an official open date for our Discord, but we are expecting to open in the coming weeks. There'll be text and voice chat! We look forward to getting more information to you about the Discord soon.

Why would anyone want to use a moderated discord when it's obvious that the point of using it is to be able to talk without any restrictions?

Coincidentally, one of the problems with this game is moderation. There is no World or Global channel where everyone can talk, and the moderation they apply is so poor that players use other programs to communicate. So it doesn't matter if they put up a Discord or not because it is the way of applying the bans that makes people use other programs to be able to talk.

People do that casually to break company rules. What you are proposing is as if I made my own forum about D&D and put in a moderator of yours. Is a nonsense.

You know what I think would actually be helpful? Be self-critical, do introspection, because several of the rules that you want to apply to the players, you do not respect.

The point is not to be able to talk without restrictions, not sure where that idea comes from. If you do not wish to follow the rules of the forums or Discord, you are welcome to not utilize these services.

The point is not a place to speak freely about the game. There's already places for that. It's an official place for customers new and old to interface with to ask questions and get official info rather than relying on some rando on the internet who may or may not be a good representative of the game doing that job for them. I don't know of any game companies who don't have their own official discord except for this one. I'm surprised it has taken this long.

YO! I've been playing this game for a very long time, and I did not know that DDO had an official discord. I'm in a few communities, but they are private/guild discords. What's the link to get an invite and check it out?

Is there something in particular that SSG is hoping to achieve with this that cannot be accomplished with the forum?

Well, I see a couple of reasons. 1) discord is always on and is more "live" than the forums, and 2) having volunteer moderators doing Cordovan's job makes it easier for him to ignore the critics.
