# Staff Guidelines

> What is expected of a Staff member, and how accountability works.

As a Staff member, you are trusted to enforce the rules fairly, support the team, and help keep the server running smoothly. Your behaviour reflects on your fitness for promotion, so stay professional in both public and private.

## What's expected

* Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, bullying, intimidation, or verbal abuse.
* No racism, discrimination, slurs, or hate speech.
* Be fair and consistent when moderating. Don't play favourites or punish based on personal issues.
* De-escalate problems instead of escalating them. Handle issues calmly and professionally.
* Follow the server rules and the Discord Terms of Service at all times.
* Use permissions responsibly. No abusing tools, power-tripping, or leaking staff-only information.
* Communicate clearly with the team. Log actions when needed and keep management informed on serious issues.
* Be reliable and active. Step in when needed, and support other staff.
* We ask that you don't work with any servers and services built around the same concept as this one, as it would create a conflict of interest.

## Do not abuse the role

Your position never puts you above the rules or above members.

* Don't abuse your position toward members, or use your status to push your own server or gain an advantage.
* Don't claim wild or exaggerated things on your resume or application.
* Don't spam people with links.
* Don't break the rules because of your status. Being staff holds you to a higher standard, not a lower one.

You must read and understand our [rules and regulations](https://esportshub.io/terms).

## Accountability

<Warning>
  Staff is a trust-based role. Misusing permissions, creating repeated issues, or failing to meet expectations may result in removal. Severe behaviour can lead to immediate removal and further action if necessary.
