[attr="class","enc_head"]II. List of Responsibilities
[attr="class","enc_sub"]The duties of a moderator.
In the Becoming a Moderator page, our staff team list the responsibilities expected of each moderator role. Below is each of these responsibilities, explained in more detail, for the benefit of members who want to know what they can expect from their staff team and to ensure that anyone considering applying for a staff position is fully informed of the expectations involved.
GLOBAL PLOT DEVELOPMENTEnsuring that the main, global timeline and events are updated at appropriate times and with enough frequency to encourage new roleplayers. This includes making sure there are always active special missions either in play, or waiting for new roleplayers.
MONTHLY TARGETS CREATIONEach month Aludium has a writing target - this might be quantity, quality, the idea of writing combat, or romance or new encounters. It might be a theme or challenge to include a certain idea into your writing. It's an added feature, with no reward or bonus besides keeping the roleplaying threads diverse and interesting.
MONTHLY AWARDS MANAGEMENTEvery few days one of our Of The Month awards is given to a character/member/plot or thread. It is the staffs responsibility to ensure that the main page and our OTM page in the encyclopedia are updated with the appropriate information.
CHARACTER APPLICATION REVIEWSAll character applications go through our staff team - not just to check for acceptance of character, but that the code is all correct and accounted for and is placed in the character directory for all to see. This also includes updating the Newest Member bio on the Creation tab of the main page and seeing to the admin tasks for a new acceptance, including but not limited to: adding the character to the Who Wall, assigning their initial statistics and sending them a welcome message.
CANON AUTHENTICITY CHECKSIs is the responsibility of staff to keep their eyes open for any Star Wars discrepancies - any information or written ideas that may contradict with the Star Wars canon universe.
ITEMS AND EMPORIUM MANAGEMENTWhen a member purchases an item from the Aludium Emporium, a staff member must add that item to their backpack and increase the appropriate statistics to match, as well as deducting the credit cost of the item.
STAFF MODERATIONIt is the responsibility of staff in higher levels of authority to keep track of those in lower levels. This is to ensure that they are following the expected standards and duties laid out on this page.
MEMBER MODERATIONPart of a staff member's role is to ensure that the members of the site are following the global rules of the forum and adhering to the expected standards of behaviour. If not, it is their responsibility to ensure that the situation is corrected.
SITE ADVERTISEMENTAn important part of any staff position is helping to get Aludium's advertisement out to as many people as possible and therefore increase our member list. More members equals more roleplaying, more planets and more fun!
MISCELLANEOUS ADMIN TASKSAll over the site, you'll find little admin tasks that need completing - responding to requests submitted by members, updating boards with new information, or simply making sure to welcome newcomers to the site and responding to any concerns or queries in the help and discussion boards.

Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. That you are here; that life exists, that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
