Compare applicants

Every application lands in your account, each with the same questions. Read the scenarios side by side: that is where calm and a sense of the rules show.

With conditional logic, show the question about past experience only to applicants who have moderated before. Add a second scenario specific to your server.

Open and close recruitment

Announce recruitment in a dedicated channel with the form link. Members answer from their phone, with no account.

Unpublish the form once the places are filled: it then stops accepting responses.

Personal data: the right habits

A name on the server and an age range are enough: do not ask for a real name or a date of birth.
Share applications only with the moderation team. A single response cannot be deleted: open one form per recruitment round and delete it once the places are filled.
Responses are hosted in France, with OVHcloud.

FAQ

Questions about this template

Can minors become moderators?

That is your call, depending on your server. A minor should not moderate adults-only channels: the age question helps spot that.

How do I know a new application has arrived?

Turn on the email alert for each application. The Free plan sends a few a day, then one daily digest; a paid plan removes that daily limit.

Is the template free?

Yes. It only uses fields available on the Free plan, and every question can be edited, moved or deleted.
