1. General
- Pack leaders are not a part of the staff at 'Souls. While pack leaders may serve as moderators and vice versa, the groups are two very different, separate entities. Pack leaders are given moderation powers only over their own pack's forum, and pack leaders do not enforce rules, deal with infractions, etc.
- Moderators are part of the board staff, yes. However, a Moderator and a 'Souls Assemblage member are not the same thing. Moderators are not a part of the punitive authority (people who can punish you!) of 'Souls. This isn't to say you don't have to listen when a Moderator asks you to tone it down in the chat, but Moderators do not participate in discussions relevant to member infractions and rule-breaking, nor are they privy to information in the administrative forum.
- Moderators and Administrators both have separate private forums and subforums. Administrators can, of course, see into and participate in discussions within the Moderators' forum, but Moderators cannot see into the Administrator's forum.

2.1 InformationModerators first serve as a Moderator Intern before being made a full-fledged Moderator. Interns have limited access (no Moderator forum access and fewer forums to moderate) and are given an indefinite period of trial. While the moderators operate as a team, their system of participation is somewhat less formalized than the SA's operation -- if only because Moderators are rarely given things to approve or disapprove. However, Moderators may run contests and plots of their own choosing, with administrative permission. |

3. Administrators | |
3.1 InformationAdministrators, also known as the 'Souls Assemblage, are the "owners" of the game. We're a highly organized bunch of awesome people, of course! ;) The 'SA operates in a loosely democratic fashion. The majority vote typically determines our course of action, though a single individual with strong objections to a particular change may influence the decision. Almost everything we do is decided thus; the only time an administrator acts solo are for minor and uninvolved issues; for example, a member may ask a simple question answerable by linking to the procedures. Even for things such as the Tumblr answers, if the question requires any kind of drafting, we work together with at least two administrators approving a drafted question. For heavily involved things -- such as a severe member infraction, changes to the board rules, etc. -- we prefer as many administrators to participate as possible, and rarely act without the input of at least three individual administrators. This can explain our delay sometimes in responding to hefty subject matter, as we allow as many 'SA as possible to respond to the issue. |
