Staff Roles & Responsibilities
Note:
All of Giant's Lair staff are volunteers. They are not rewarded in any way.
Owner
This position is held by Agennon. As the owner of Giant's Lair and all its assets, Agennon supervises and leads the community. Responsibilities include maintaining technical infrastructure, overseeing services and platforms, developing new features and content, making final decisions and policies for the servers, and supervising the entire staff team. Agennon determines the rules and community standards necessary to keep Giant's Lair thriving. As the highest-ranked member, the owner’s word is always final.
Lead Admin
The Lead Admins are part of the leadership team alongside the Owner, responsible for managing the community and its services. Their primary role is handling the day-to-day operations, making high-level decisions, supervising staff, and initiating new policies or changes. Each Lead Admin manages a group of up to four Admins and their Moderators and participates in selecting and promoting new Admins. If an Admin position is vacant, the Lead Admin temporarily supervises that group. Lead Admins are chosen by the Owner based on skill and dedication. Currently, this rank is held by Uncle Dad and Noctorious.
Developer
Developers create and develop new content, systems, and features for Giant's Lair, including in-game content, website and Discord improvements, and new games. They are selected and supervised directly by the Owner. While not primarily focused on staffing, Developers are considered staff members and have the authority to enforce rules and staffing decisions as needed.
Administrator
Administrators manage different staff teams and supervise Moderators. Each Admin leads a team of up to five Moderators and Trial Moderators, providing training, assistance, and management. Admins have higher-level staffing privileges, such as discretion in decisions. They are responsible for promoting and demoting Moderators, handling staff applications, and supporting Trial Moderators through their training. Admins earn their rank by excelling as Moderators and are selected by Lead Admins.
Moderator
Moderators form the core of the Giant's Lair staff team. Their duties include supervising the servers, enforcing rules, handling troublemakers, and ensuring a positive experience for all players. Moderators are organized into teams led by an Admin, with each team containing up to five Moderators. Applications to become a Moderator are submitted through the staff applications forum. Admins select and promote Moderators and oversee their teams. New Moderators often undergo a trial period during which they receive training and supervision to build their skills.
Trial Moderator
Trial Moderators are staff applicants currently in their trial period, learning the basics of staffing while being tested on their skills and knowledge. Admins may waive this trial stage if the applicant demonstrates sufficient ability. Trial Moderators do not have full staff privileges and cannot perform all Moderator duties. Their performance during the trial determines if they will be promoted to full Moderator status.
