Discord recently pushed a new program called the Discord Moderator Academy, which is a collection of over thirty easy-to-read and well-formatted modules in the form of seminars. These modules teach everything a moderator needs to know for any large Discord server, from channel setup to ban evasion. There are also resources for senior roles on managing teams and recognizing moderator burnout. The seminars conclude with a brief exam summarizing the modules.
I believe the Moderation Academy would be an invaluable addition to the staff application process. Not every module may perfectly apply to Manacube, but the vast majority does and would be extremely beneficial to staff applicates as well as some of the most senior members of the team.
I took the exam yesterday and was very impressed by the quality of the entire process. I can't recommend it enough and I would encourage any current member of the staff team to explore a few of the modules - particularly the more complex ones, which don't come quite as obviously, such as Facilitating Positive Environments or Planning Community Events.
I hope my suggestion will be taken into consideration! I truly believe this approach would greatly supplement the current Discord moderation responsibilities.
