Moderation Systems

Moderation should be a workflow, not a mood.

Good moderation requires intake, evidence, context, escalation paths, appeals, and auditability. TIRust documents these systems so enforcement is consistent and defensible.

Intake

Reports and alerts

Player reports, Discord tickets, server warnings, anti-cheat alerts, and admin observations should enter a reviewable queue.

Evidence

Context packets

Every serious case should gather IDs, timestamps, server name, logs, reports, risk signals, prior history, and staff notes.

Review

Human judgment

Automation can prioritize and summarize, but staff should own high-impact decisions like bans, long restrictions, and appeal outcomes.

Appeals

Clear path back

Appeals should be factual and linked to the original evidence trail. Staff should distinguish bad calls from players simply wanting another chance.

Conduct

Admin accountability

Privileged access exists to protect the community. Staff should avoid conflicts, retaliation, secret favors, and personal advantage.

Trust

Supporter neutrality

Payment status should never override rules. See Governance for supporter neutrality and enforcement standards.

Moderation stack

The practical stack includes Discord tickets, BattleMetrics notes and flags, server logs, RCON records, anti-cheat alerts, admin review channels, and documented appeal outcomes.
