Global Discussions moderators are a group of users with permissions related to the Discussions feature.
The group's mission statements are:
- Help out on active Discussions areas where the admins and community of editors have not yet become involved or are feeling overwhelmed.
- Surface good moderator candidates to wiki admins, and offer help in transitioning Discussions to local oversight.
- Foster healthy community growth through moderation, interaction, community management and post creation.
- Educate Discussions and Community App users about the nature of the wiki community and collaborative editing.
There is no specific mandate for cleanup of spam and vandalism, which is the purview of the VSTF. The focus of the Global Discussions moderators is on community management, community building and social concerns within the Discussions feature specifically.
For more details see the Global Discussions Moderator operation guidelines.
