New Moderator Rank Made.

Hello,
I would like to suggest that like Mineplex, before Chat-Mod, There is a rank called Trainee.

How would it work?

So, There would be the normal ranks, (Chat Mod, Forums Mod etc.) and then, before what ever rank they deserve, They get a rank called Trainee. They would have that for 2 weeks, The Trainee would have a "Mentor", (for example, If they deserve Forums Mod, Their mentor would be a forums mod). Then, After their 2 week period, They would be promoted to what ever rank they deserve.

What is the point of having a Trainee rank?


The point would be the member getting used to and learning how to deal with reports etc, before they become a real mod.



Let me know what you think down below!


Thanks,
Cents.

  Have something to say?

To add to what Azie said, I would like to bring up another feature request from the past (Couldn't find the link, sorry): It was suggested to have a moderator's profile display when they obtained their rank. Now this itself is not related to your suggestion but one of the drawbacks mentioned was that certain members would look down upon newer moderators (Which has been confirmed by at least one moderator). And I believe this is also a problem with your suggestion.

New moderators already have it hard enough trying to learn everything they need to know, I don't think they need the extra nagging from members they kick/ban/whatever because they are ranked as a "Trainee".

I don't think this is super necessary. We already help new moderators in the way that you're suggesting; we just don't have a whole separate rank for it.

If your suggestion was meant to prevent small mistakes sometimes made more often by new moderators, I don't think an additional rank would really help with that. Different people learn differently and many people learn by doing. Mistakes that get made when someone is new are almost always benign and new mods are usually super apologetic and ready to learn when it happens. These mistakes can be fixed extremely quickly and are often resolved simply my messaging those involved with a short appology for the inconvenience.

These kinds of mistakes aren't just made by new mods either; I've been here more than 3 years and still make them occasionally.
