=== Who are Chat Moderators ===
=== Current Moderators ===
Changed headings to match other staff pages, and some minor cleanup
{{disclaimer}}
A CM is a player that has taken on responsibilities in addition to playing the game. While there is no formal application process players that are being considered go under review by the GM's and if the consensus is positive the player may be offered the position if the server they play on could use more support. Players can express their interest in the position to GMs though most are recommended by current team members. The Head GM makes the final decision. Ideally CM's are experienced players that have no history of chat infractions or game violations.
=== What do CM's do? ===
CM's fill two important roles. What most people are aware of is that they moderate the kingdom public chat channels and enforce the chat rules. Behind the scene scenes, CM's also take /dev support calls to assist players when GM's are unavailable , and resolve calls that can be fixed without GM intervention. They are also able to reach GM's across multiple servers if necessary.
=== The Chat Rules ===
If you do not follow the rules you can find yourself muted. If you receive an unofficial warning in one of the chat channels do not argue! If you strongly disagree , send the cm CM a '''private ''' message about it , as starting an argument in kchat is likely to get you muted as well. Receiving an offical official warning is also something you should take up in private with the cm CM in question, or if you feel uncomfortable with that, any other cm CM or gmGM. Warnings are on your account's record, as are mutes, and it's not a good idea to collect these!
===<center>This is a non-exhaustive list of reasons you may be muted:</center>===
* Discuss R rated themes, please keep chat PG, many players are very young.
* Any discriminatory remarks about someone's race, creed, sexuality, or lifestyle.
* If you say something that is offensive to a large group of people and are asked to shut up, please do.
* Discussion of macros.
* Spamming chat.
* Flaming.
* If you are excessively combative or argumentative when warned or asked to change the subject.
* Attempting to pose as someone working for the game. (e.g. CA, CM, GM, DEVPR, or a Developer).
* [[:wikipedia:Troll (Internet)|Trolling]].
* Argumentative or abusive behavior towards cmCM's/gmor GM's about warnings - do this in private if you must!
