It's been one year since Tripsit was founded and we've done some restructuring of the network. If you are seeing this memo you are considered staff by the definition of "having a flag in one of our public rooms." For a lot of you that mean's you're tripsitters and were never considered fully staff until recently. We wrote an orientation guide that will help keep everyone on the same page. Please add #teamtripsit to your auto-join list and join #tripsit.me if you'd like to keep in contact with the admin team. While you're in #teamtripsit you can say !flags and get a list of all current staff. If you don't see them in #teamtripsit then make sure they saw this memo and the orientation guide which is:http://pad.tripsit.me:9001/p/orientation

History
History


The TripSit network was founded by Techno_shaman (Teknos) on June 1st, 2012, as he was a lonely psychonaut looking to talk with other people online. It progressed into an IRC channel in Sept of '12 and changed its focus to be geared around harm reduction and providing a safe community for the world's Psychonauts. It has since grown to a website, webradio, social network, and has been featured by MAPS. We've had news articles written about us and have helped countless people in many different ways. We're currently expanding our social network and working on developing a real-life presence at festivals and concerts, and you're invited to be a part in the next step in growing our network.

Final wordsWe want all of our staff members to be role models and regular contributors, dedicated to the ideals of TripSit. We expect them to be able to devote a reasonable amount of time to TripSit in order to improve our network and help it grow.  Staff members are positive, nice, respectful and professional in their dealings with members whether regular or staff; they represent the entire network! Below is a list of staff roles, their powers and specific responsibilities.
Definitions


Network Wide Duties and Job Functions
Voice: The +v flag gives a user a spiffy icon and thus 'status' as someone to be trusted. Voiced users can also say !flags to get a list of staff in that room.


Represent the TripSit community with a positive, supportive attitude at all times and be a responsible face of the TripSit network as an approachable and positive role model.
Operator: An admin on the network.


Be an active member of the community, and promote a positive environment by guiding conversation to an acceptable level of quality.
Staff: Having a flag in one of our public rooms excluding #drugsvip.


Enforce our  and snoonet's rules - http://tripsit.me/ircrules
Tripsitter: User with +v(oice) in #tripsit. Can not kick/ban, but can invite and view !flags.


No sourcing rule.  
Poweruser: User that guides discussion in a positive manner. Cannot kick or ban. Can use ~quiet to silence problem users.  


Keep in mind: General SR talk is okay so long as they dont mention specifics or vendors. telling people to buy off SR, Amazon, or an RC vendor is OK, but giving links, names, phone numbers, or otherwise is not OK. Be vague, yet helpful.
Moderator: Having the ability to kick and ban users from channels.


whoami: Does this refer only to illegal drugs, or also paraphernalia? (e.g. pipes, scales, blotter paper, etc.)
Admin: Responsible for the general administration of the network.  


this includes parahernalia, mainly pipes though. Scales should be allowed seeing as they help reduce harm as well as all other mediums concerning dosages.
Report: To ~report #channel User Reason sends a PM to all staff in that room. Avalible to anyone in channel.


Scales are usually included with pipes in vendor sites btw
Notify: ~notify #channel NOTICE is a way to send a PM to all staff in that channel. Avalible to anyone in channel.


I guess I was thinking more like... linking to a scale on Amazon, tbh.
Tripbot: A multi-use omnibot that is quickly approaching sentience.  


Underage policy
Bot: An RSS and utility bot.


http://nexus.tripsit.me/forum/thread/143/policy-clarification-on-underage-users/
Warning: To ~warn USER REASON sets a note on that user. Available to PowerUsers and higher


Ask an admin if not sure about a rule.
~ (tilde) : The prefix for tripbot commands


Provide warning and reports when necessary
@ : Prefix for tagging users when reporting to tripbot. (Eg. if you and another user helped somebody in #tripsit, you would '~notify #tripsit user hostmask summary' and tag the user that helped with @user in the summary)


Report good events as well as bad!
! (exclamation): The prefix for Bot commands


~report will send a notice to everyone voiced in the channel you reported to.  
Sourcing is defined as "discussion of where to specifically purchase or otherwise acquire substances of any kind; this includes links to legal substance vendors and paraphernalia. This rule does not necessarily apply to scales or other dosing related items, as they aid in harm reduction."


For example: "~report #drugs Teknos debouchery" will report Teknos to everyone with the +v flag in #drugs for the reason of debouchery.
Tripbot


If you were to report somone in #drugsVIP it would send a report to everyone in that chanel.
Introduction

Warnings should only be given for repeat behavior or serious offenses (IE: Sourcing. Sourcing happens fairly often, not direct links, but simple "Where can I get X", "Does anyone know a good vendor for X" kind of stuff. Verbal warnings suffice most of the time.

If you do not agree to these terms, you must disconnect now.
 
All Snoonet network rules are in effect. For a full list of rules please visit http://www.snoonet.org/user-rules
 
Hostmasks
 
A user's I.P. address is obfuscated by default upon connection to Snoonet network, but a hostmask cloak may be requested to spoof the entire hostmask, this is a measure of greater security and makes channel operations much easier. To receive a cloak, join #help and type ” ~cloakme “.
 
The only "custom" cloak allowed is for an extension of your bot. "@user/NICK/bot/BOTNICK" Having a bot in the channel, however, is completely up to the channel owners. Seehttp://www.snoonet.org/user-rules for more information
 
Nicknames
 
Nicknames may not contain any racial slurs or bigotry in the nickname. In case of nickname containing a slur - it will be removed, and multiple offenses may result in bans.
 
Nicknames may not contain any special signs such as: !@#$%&*()=+/;:'“~
 
The only exclusion is an underscore '_'  and the vertical bar ' | ' character used to denote extra information.
 
Nicknames must not impersonate a reddit user.
 
General Tripsit Rules
 
By connecting to any chat channel within the TripSit network (#drugs, #tripsit, #psychonaut, #drugsVIP, #tripradio, #psychpharm, #tripsit.me, etc) you agree you will:
 
Use common sense and don’t do questionable things.
 
If you have any doubt over whether your topic, question, advice, or comment is acceptable, feel free to speak to any operator or staff member on the IRC channel or join #tripsit.me to grab the attention of everyone available. We are happy to give you a solid judgement on whether your topic is acceptable in private without judgement or consequence.
 
Keep discussions in the appropriate channel.
 
The #drugs channel is moderated by the TripSit staff and is our most frequently used channel. It is used for general drug discussion. This includes dosage, effects, routes of administration, and just general chat.
 
Use #tripsit for calmer chat and for counseling.
 
We have #psychonaut for spirituality topics and #psychopharm for chemistry topics.
 
Finally, #tripsit.me if you wish to discuss specific question or issues with moderators and administrators; this channel is devoted to discussing meta TripSit topics such as banning and rules inquriries.
 
Impersonating LEO
 
Impersonating an officer of the law, such as having a nickname that implies you are a LEO, will first result in a warning.  If the nick is not changed the user will be kicked. Repeated attempts to join with the same name will result in a  temporary or permanent ban.
 
Solicitation Policy
 
Absolutely no sourcing
 
Sourcings is defined as "discussion of where to specifically purchase or otherwise acquire substances of any kind; this includes links to legalsubstance vendors."
 
This does include websites such as Amazon. Caffeine, Nootropics, and nitrous are all examples of legal substances that are still not allowed to be sourced
 
Explaining that you can acquire psychedelics at music festivalsis is common knowledge and allowed, while discussing a specific website or vendor is strictly forbidden.
 
Do not ask for money, BTC, or users to send you drugs. Keep in mind sarcasm is hard to tell on the internet.
 
SilkRoad Policy
 
Any discussion regarding vendors, prices, specifics about products or transaction details is stritcly prohibited and treated the same as sourcing (Insta-kick as a first and only warning, Ban on repeat offense)
 
Attitude Policy
 
We are a network devoted to harm reduction and positivity.
 
Keep It Positive People (KIPP). 
 
No rude, mean, or judgmental language or discussion.
 
This includes racial slurs, homophobia, and all other prejudice against any person or group of people.
 
Do not insult other users; take heated arguments to private chat.
 
Posting personal information about channel members, or doxing, is grounds for a permanent network ban. Trying to collect personal info of users is dealt with in the same manner.
 
Network Policies and Procedures.
 
Please read and become familiar with the following procedures
 
#tripsit information
 
This channel is for people currently under the influence of drugs and those there to sit them.
 
This channel should always be ready to help fellow members.
 
Please take any drug discussion, arguments or otherwise distracting chatter to #drugs instead.
 
Only light-hearted and positive conversation here: We all know how easily a trip can turn bad just by a simple thought.
 
Anyone caught being facetious will be warned and then banned if need be.
 
Rules are STRICTLY enforced in this channel.
 
Harm Reduction Policy
 
Occasionally we have users join our community expecting that, due to the subject matter of the community, we will support them in their dangerous behavior, use, and/or attitudes towards drug use.
 
This is not our purpose; the TripSit community is devoted to harm reduction, support, and positvitiy, and we will never recommend or tolerate dangerous or reckless drug use.
 
Users identified as continually engaging in reckless drug-use behavior are seen as a bad influence on the community as a whole, actively working against our mission statement to be a a harm-reduction community devoted to positive support.
 
It is against the rules to endorse or encourage dangerous behavior regarding drug consumption, just as it is completely unacceptable to expect our community to endorse or encourage your dangerous behavior.
 
It is, in fact, seen as the responsibility of the community's members to actively discourage dangerous behavior.
 
All users who choose to do so are expected to discourage drug dosages, drug combinations, and/or any drug experimentation which could be reliably considered unsafe. 
 
Note that if a situation is identified as life-threatening, or one in which the community's users believe immediate medical attention is required, we will always attempt to contact local medical personel to help you.
 
As such, these behaviors are considered against the rules and violators may be subjected to temporary or permanent bans (situation depending).
 
Please accept and consider the advice given to you seriously and note that ignorance of advice pertaining to potentially life threatening situations will not be tolerated by our community.
 
Protocol for youngins
 
Do not give out advice about anything you are not 100% positive about.  If you have no knowledge of the drug, do some research online before providing any advice.
 
Figure out why they want to take X substance
 
If they are using drugs as a coping mechanism
 
Encourage alternate forms of dealing with their problem. More often than not people take drugs because it satisfies something that they are not getting elsewhere.
 
If the reason they are using drugs is out of curiosity or purely recreational
 
Proceed to step 2
 
Inform them, without exaggerating, the potential physiological, psychological and sociological risks, and make sure they comprehend them.
 
Toxicology
 
Exacerbation of latent mental disorders, or presentation of acute symptoms such as paranoia etc.
 
Interactions with current medications or health problems.
 
Legal consequences if they get caught or do something stupid that puts others at harm. Basically, how their use could potentially affect others
 
Attempt to dissuade them by using the informati provided in step 2
 
Suggest a milder alternative to their intended route.
 
IE: Half a tab instead of a full one;mushrooms instead of DMT; Adderall instead of meth.
 
If they are still determined to do it then proceed to step 4.
 
Provide advice that is as accurate as possible that could help mitigate any of the dangers in step 2
 
Communicate that you do not condone the action but will provide information to best reduce harm.
 
Make sure that they are ready to accept all consequences for their actions such as imprisonment or death
 
Why give advice instead of telling them to come back when they’re older
 
We do NOT condone the use of drugs before the age of 16, preferably 18 (state and international laws vary).
 
As soon as a minor is already dead-set on doing drugs, you should switch to education mode, not continue to prohibit the use.
 
Repeatedly saying not to do it is neither helpful to them, nor effective at reducing harm.
 
Prohibiting action is the best way to encourage said action, especially in children.
 
While it still may be harmful, TripSit staff can provide advice on how to reduce the dangers and risk of drug use and promote harm reduction - the closest you could get to "Harm Reduction Through  Education"
 
Medical Advice Policy
 
Please avoid spreading misinformation about drug use.
 
Misinformation is harmful to our community.
 
No information is always better than wrong information.
 
It is still better to inform the person there may be no current information rather than staying silent and having them wonder if anyone noticed it.
 
In most instances, people on the internet are not qualified to provide medical advice. 
 
Members of the TripSit community are extremely knowledgeable, wise, and often have ample life experience in a range of situations pertaining to drug use, however they are no substitute for a personal doctor.
 
If you are not 100% positive about the advice you are thinking about giving, don't say it.
 
If you don't have sources to validate your advice, do not say anything related to medical advice.
 
Guidelines Regarding Suicide Threats
 
While TripSitters will try their best to help member cope with down feelings of depression or worse, we cannot tolerate threats of suicide.
 
Suicide, depression and mental illness are not the focus of our network and our staff are not adequately trained to deal with suidical situations, nor is it fair to our network's member's to have the onus of guilt placed upon them for potential outcomes of such situations.
 
If a member is experiencing suicidal thoughts or tendencies, we kindly ask them to consider either professional theraputic assistance, calling the Suicide Hotline, 911, or directing themselves to a community better equipped to deal with their kind of situation.
 
We endorse Reddit's SuicideWatch community.
 
Suicide prevention hotlines:
 
USA: 1-800-273-8255 : National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
 
International: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines
 
Poison control hotlines:
 
USA: 888 888 8822:
 
UK 111
 
WHO Posion Control: http://www.who.int/ipcs/publications/training_poisons/guidelines_poison_control/en/
 
In a situation in which we fear for a users life, we will remind them of the guidelines stated above and do everything in our power to assist the member find qualified help.
 
In a dangerous overdose situation in which we believe immediate medical attention is required, we will always attempt to contact local medical personel.
 
These behaviors disrupt the primary objectives of our community.
 
Therefore, suicide threats and attempts are considered against the rules, and while we will try our best to help in the immediate timescale, such threats and attempts may result in either a temporary or permanent ban from the community (under discretion from the administrators).
 
Mental illness:
 
While we are very accepting of members who may have mental illnesses and/or disorders, we do not condone or encourage the use or abuse of drugs that could interact, worsen, or otherwise negatively affect your health.
 
The TripSit community will not serve as enabler for the destruction of your own mental or physical health.
 
Please seek medical assistance if you have a question regarding mental illnesses or disorders and their interactions with drugs.
 
We are not qualified to provide professional medical advice on drug interactions with mental ilnesses.
 
We are here to help!
 
If you want to discuss the topic, feel free to bring it up in our IRC channels or pm the TripSit team.
 
We are happy to discuss any topic at length with you, warn you of any potential drug interactions as well as give you advice, love, respect and positive energy to the best of our ability.
 
The TripSit community is always here to help and support you, no matter what. We love you and want to keep you with us!
 
Report Policy
 
Please help us keep our IRC channels remain a positive and enjoyable place to be. free from trolling and rule violators, by reporting users who are breaking the rules!

Repeat offenders will be considered for a temporary or permanent ban.  Power users also can instute a vote ban using !voteban user yes/no
 
Each situation is different and may be subjective, so temporary and permanent bans will be handled case by case basis.
 
TripSit staff will consult with any violators at length before any decision is made.
 
Several moderators, administrators, and TripSit Staff will handle all instances where a member may have to be banned. 
 
Temporary bans may also be issued. 
 
If a issue requires an immediate ban, please make sure you make notifcation of the ban using ~nban user reason
 
tripbot will have information regarding all bans.  Enter ~ban_user to see notes regarding the ban.


Add a note to the ~banlist
Follow the above procedure and respond to ~reports by telling the TripSit team via ~notify #channel that you recieved the report and will talk to the person in PM. Warning will be sent via PM on most occasions as to avoid drama in the main channels and a note will be added to their file on Titanpad. Occasionally public warnings will be issued. If action continues then you may issue an official ~warning to them. If they persist without a moderator stepping in, you may ~quiet them.


LAST RESORT: BANNED USERS DO NOT COME BACK NOR DO THEY TELL THEIR FRIENDS ABOUT OUR NETWORK
'~report #channel user reason' every time you have to verbally warn a user. Instances of ~quiet etc are automatically documented (and you can provide a reason along with them).


If they protest or are unclear as to why they are banned, do not argue in PM, invite them to #tripsit.me to keep it public and explain why they were banned.
As a moderator:


Keep it professional; do not make it personal, seek vengance or retaliation.
You have the power to kick/ban people from the network. We ask that you use the corresponding Tripbot commands for this. Your involvement starts when the powerusers' end. After a ~report and/or ~warning has been issued, you may ~kick the user as a final warning. Always provide a reason for the kick. Finally, if they continue their behavior, you may ~nban them from the network. Remember that banned users dont give good reviews or come back to help so do this as a last resort. Admins/mods will investigate every ban so make sure that you feel the ban is necessary. Remember to keep logs and documentation on Titanpad.If they protest or are unclear as to why they are banned, do not argue in PM, invite them to #tripsit.me to keep it public and explain why they were banned. Keep it professional; do not make it personal, seek vengance or retaliation. "Please do not take any of this personally as we are running a professional harm reduction network. We love you all, but some of you need a break sometimes!"

Revision as of 20:22, 21 August 2013


Welcome to your first step into the TripSit network!

Based on your good performance, your willingness for helping out, and good attitude to the the people here, you have been accepted as staff in the TripSit network. Here's some vital information about the network and staffing to help you perform well in your new position!

History

The TripSit network was founded by Techno_shaman (Teknos) in reddit.com/r/tripsit on June 1st, 2012. It progressed into an IRC channel in Sept of 2 and increased its focus around harm reduction and providing a safe community for the world's Psychonauts. It has since grown to a website, webradio, social network and have helped countless people in many different ways. We have been featured by MAPS and we've had news articles written about us. We're currently expanding our social network and working on developing a real-life presence at festivals and concerts, and you're invited to be a part in the next step in growing our network.

Definitions

Staff: Having a flag in one of our public rooms excluding #drugsvip.

Tripsitter: User with +v(oice) in #tripsit. Can not kick/ban, but can invite and view !flags.

Poweruser: User that guides discussion in a positive manner. Cannot kick or ban. Can use ~quiet to silence problem users.

Moderator: Having the ability to kick and ban users from channels.

Admin: Responsible for the general administration of the network.

Report: To ~report #channel User Reason sends a PM to all staff in that room. Avalible to anyone in channel.

Notify: ~notify #channel NOTICE is a way to send a PM to all staff in that channel. Avalible to anyone in channel.

Tripbot: A multi-use omnibot that is quickly approaching sentience.

Bot: An RSS and utility bot.

Warning: To ~warn USER REASON sets a note on that user. Available to PowerUsers and higher

~ (tilde) : The prefix for tripbot commands

@ : Prefix for tagging users when reporting to tripbot. (Eg. if you and another user helped somebody in #tripsit, you would '~notify #tripsit user hostmask summary' and tag the user that helped with @user in the summary)

! (exclamation): The prefix for Bot commands

Sourcing is defined as "discussion of where to specifically purchase or otherwise acquire substances of any kind; this includes links to legal substance vendors and paraphernalia. This rule does not necessarily apply to scales or other dosing related items, as they aid in harm reduction."

Tripbot

Introduction

Tripbot is a multi-use omnibot that includes many features we rely on to do an effecient job of moderating the network.

Powahs

Webinterface

Login URL

Your username is myuser@snoonet, and you can set a password by issuing the '~setwebpass mypassword' command. Contact reality if you have any issues.

Entry Alert

~gettripsitentries to receive them, ~notripsitentries to stop receiving them.

This will alert you when a previously unrecognised host enters #tripsit who may potentially need help.

Report System

Avalible to all users.

~report <user> <room> <hostmask> <message>

Sends a report of that user to the voiced users in that room.

Used for problem users

Quickly followed by a ~warning in most situations.

Encourage regular users to employ use of this command!

Warning System

Avalible to Power Users and higher.

~warn <user> <hostmask> <message>

Warnings are counted and permenantly stored online for staff to view past events.

Warnings should only be given for repeat behavior or serious offenses (IE: Sourcing. Sourcing happens fairly often, not direct links, but simple "Where can I get X", "Does anyone know a good vendor for X" kind of stuff. Verbal warnings suffice most of the time.

Notify system

Avalible to all users

~notify <room> <message>

Sends a notification to the staff in that room of some event.

Excellent communication tool. Use this as much as you'd like.

Quiet command

Avalible to PowerUsers and higher.

~quiet (minutes) (#channel) <user> reason (Minutes and channel are optional)

This prevents the user from speaking in that channel, as well as changing their nickname and also sends a notify to staff in that channel.

Excellent for trolls and rowdy users.

Network Ban

Avalible to Mods and higher.

~nban <user> <reason>

Bans a user from all of our public channels.

Infinitaly easier than playing whack-a-user when they pop into different channels.

Other Commands

See ~tripbotcommands. These commands are constantly updating. New commands will be shared via Tripbot notifications

Staff Duties and Job Functions

We want all of our staff members to be role models and regular contributors, dedicated to the ideals of TripSit. We expect them to be able to devote a reasonable amount of time to TripSit in order to improve our network and help it grow. Staff members are positive, nice, respectful and professional in their dealings with members whether regular or staff; they represent the entire network! Below is a list of staff roles, their powers and specific responsibilities.

Meetings

Nexus forum topics are used for discussion

We document changes to the network in convenient pads. Please check the month and go to the corresponding pad.

Please keep up to date with the Administrator section on the Nexus forums. This is where we will have the majority of our meetings, discussion about policy changes, etc. We NEED your input! Please respond if you have something to say. There are no bad or stupid ideas, just stupid people ;)

Click LIKE to notify that you have read a thread or a reply

If you cannot get access to the Administrator forums, please contact a Nexus admin (Teknos, reality, trees, trainwreck)

We also use monthly Titanpad's for discussion

Network Wide Duties and Job Functions

You represent the TripSit community and should be considered a responsible, approachable and a decent role model. We ask that you be an active member of the community, and promote a positive environment by guiding conversation to an acceptable level of quality by being positive and supportive at all times. You will enforce Ours and Snoonet's rules, found here: http://tripsit.me/ircrules .

Warnings, reports, and notifications

Report good events as well as bad! ~report will send a notice to everyone voiced in the channel you reported to. For example: "~report #drugs Teknos debauchery" will report Teknos to everyone with the +v flag in #drugs for the reason of debouchery.

When responding to a report by talking with the user, send a ~notify to #teamtripsit to acknowledge that staff has followed through on a report

See below for when to issue warnings

Send ~notify #tripsit for every enounter on #tripsit. Send notifications to #teamtripsit for all other notifications. Be sure to include the user's info, a short summary of the encounter, and anyone who assisted (tag them with @. e.g. ~notify #tripsit Trainwreck came into #tripsit and was really high on marijuana and lost the remote. @Teknos and I helped him find it

Communication

Professionally communicate with your branch leader about changes to the network via memos, email, nexus forum, or carrier pidgeon. Communicate pretty much everything network related in #tripsit.me or a notify.

Misinformation

Recognize misinformation and request citations when needed. Warn, quiet, or kick obvious misinformation. Remember: No info > bad info.

Populate other channels

Move conversations to appropriate channels: IE: #psychonaut for spiritual talk, #psychopharm for chemistry discussion, #tripsitvip for slower, denser chat and the Nexus blogs for trip reports.

Be Involved

Try to get involved with the various other TripSit projects. Get a Nexus account, learn to DJ, contribute to the Wiki. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input!

Quota

There is currently a staff quota of 7 'events' a week. Such events are made up of:

Instances of tripsitting, either measured through ~notify #tripsit or being tagged in a ~notify #tripsit

Reporting users

Quieting users

Warning users

Banning users

Notifying staff channels with relevant operational information

Contributions to other tripsit projects, such as the Wiki

If a staff member is not hitting their quota (it's not much, really), we will discuss with them how they can work to meet their quota on a regular basis.

Tripsitter Duties

Continue to be an active, responsible trip sitter in the #tripsit channel. You will recieve !tripsit and ~tripsit notifications and are expected to respond to them whenever possible. No tolerance for trolling/sarcasm in #tripsit while still providing a positive environment. Remember that no info is always better than false info. Never be afraid to defer a question to another member of the team, or even to use the '~tripsit user' command yourself to let people know a user needs further help. ~tripsit user will send out a tripsit request for the user specified, rather than for yourself.

~notify #tripsit for EACH and EVERY encounter. See above for an example.

Use @User tags in notifications to ensure

Respond to anyone joining #tripsit with a "how are you doing" or something to that effect. If the user does not need help and just wants general chat, direct them there. If the user needs help, use ~tripsit

PowerUser Duties

Summing up the responsibilities of a Power User would be the word "guidance." They represent our network and make sure that things are going smoothly. They don't have the responsiblity of kick/baning people and their primary goal is to be helpful and positive. They multitask by guiding all tripsit channels into a positive light. They make heavy use of the ~report command for notification of our team. PowerUsers cannot kick or ban, so please ~warn the offender, ~report them, and ~quiet if necessary, and if an admin is not online initiate a !voteban

Moderator Responsiblities

Moderators have leadership skills and can enforce rules while maintaining a positive and compassionate attitude. They assume all the roles and responsibilities of being a power user, but with additional powers and expectations for rule breakers, as discussed in the Rule Breaking Procedure. trees, toasterlizard, sundown and borax are moderators.

Admin Responsiblities

Oversee entire TripSit Network and make sure the network doesnt burn down. Follow through on reports, log bans/warnings. Work on and delegate numerous projects relating to Nexus, Merch, Wiki, IRC, and other content. Work on IRL applications to our TripSit network, including merch, marketing, improving network

Rule Breaking Procedure

As a member

~report the user

If no action is taken, initiate a !votekick <user> yes/no or a !voteban

As a tripsitter

~quiet <user> and send a report about him in to tripbot.

As a Power User

Follow the above procedure and respond to ~reports by telling the TripSit team via ~notify #channel that you recieved the report and will talk to the person in PM. Warning will be sent via PM on most occasions as to avoid drama in the main channels and a note will be added to their file on Titanpad. Occasionally public warnings will be issued. If action continues then you may issue an official ~warning to them. If they persist without a moderator stepping in, you may ~quiet them.

'~report #channel user reason' every time you have to verbally warn a user. Instances of ~quiet etc are automatically documented (and you can provide a reason along with them).

As a moderator:

You have the power to kick/ban people from the network. We ask that you use the corresponding Tripbot commands for this. Your involvement starts when the powerusers' end. After a ~report and/or ~warning has been issued, you may ~kick the user as a final warning. Always provide a reason for the kick. Finally, if they continue their behavior, you may ~nban them from the network. Remember that banned users dont give good reviews or come back to help so do this as a last resort. Admins/mods will investigate every ban so make sure that you feel the ban is necessary. Remember to keep logs and documentation on Titanpad.If they protest or are unclear as to why they are banned, do not argue in PM, invite them to #tripsit.me to keep it public and explain why they were banned. Keep it professional; do not make it personal, seek vengance or retaliation. "Please do not take any of this personally as we are running a professional harm reduction network. We love you all, but some of you need a break sometimes!"

Ban-Appealment Policy

It is network policy not to discuss a ban in PM. If a user wishes to contest a ban ask them to join #tripsit.me to appeal.
