Skills
A large part of training staff is to ensure people have the skills they need. We train extensively on commands and skills to help trainees excel at their position.
What is a Staff Member?
A staff member is any individual that SMPWACA gives a constant responsibility. These responsibilities could range from moderating the server, to ensuring our advertisements reach the target audiences. Staff members should be the best that we have to offer in terms of professionalism and understanding, and we are taking great care to ensure we constantly improve
What are the Kinds of Staff Members?
Moderators - Moderators are the backbone of the SMPWACA staff. They provide security to the server and do a lot of the leg work in terms of searching for griefs, thefts, and mitigating any conflict. Admins - Admins (of all levels) assist in the decision making process of the server. Admins provide advise to Overseers, will occasionally help in the technical side of the server, and ensure Moderators are doing their jobs fairly and correctly. Advertisers/Content Managers - Advertisers/Content Managers (ACMs) control the different platforms of content SMPWACA has. They control how each platform chooses to advertise given the audience we want to reach, and ensure that content coming out of SMPWACA is sleek and cool Information Managers - Information Managers ensure that relevant information is properly being distributed. The best example of this is the WikiMaster, vatoloco13, who is in charge of ensuring our wiki remains clean and informative. Overseers - Overseers run the server, do most of the technical work, and ensure the server as a whole looks solid and put-together. Overseers will take up tasks left behind by vacant staff positions, but generally is focused on the bigger picture.
Staff Training
Mindset
Our goal for training is to help staff members not only gain skills, but to gain the mindset of the ideal moderator. Awareness of their actions is important for any team to have.
Dedication
Staff members aren't just hired because they are good (although that certainly helps!), they are hired because they can dedicate the time needed to make the server the best it can be!
Engagement
We want staff members to not just engage with other staff members, but to engage with the community. Staff are trained in event hosting, conflict mediation, and general community skills.
Teamwork
Teamwork is vital for any staff team's survival. We train staff to fight the problem, not each other so the outcome works for the whole group.
