What should a Discord staff application template ask?
Updated · Copy & paste kits
A good staff application asks for availability and time zone, Discord experience, why they want the role, and two or three scenario questions (spam raid, rude member, friend breaking rules). Collect it in a form or a ticket, not in a public channel, and require 2FA before giving any moderation role.
| Question | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Discord username and time zone | Coverage gaps |
| Hours per week you can moderate | Realistic commitment |
| Moderation experience (servers, size) | Skill level |
| Why do you want to be staff here? | Motives |
| Scenario: 20 accounts join and spam links. What do you do? | Raid response |
| Scenario: a regular insults a new member. What do you do? | Judgment and tone |
| Scenario: your friend breaks a rule. What do you do? | Fairness |
| Is 2FA enabled on your account? | Security |
