Want to get involved with Barricades con?
As we approach the con weekend, we are seeking a few more volunteers in specific roles – whether you’ve already volunteered with us or have an interest, we’d love to hear from you!
We are looking for Discord and Zoom moderators , and for people who can subtitle prerecorded panels!
Moderators:
Time commitment: As much or as little as you like! To keep things running smoothly you’d be hosting at least 1 programming item, so anywhere from 1 hour upwards
When: During the convention, as well as a 1-hour training in the weeks before
Responsibilities of a moderator during the con:
Discord moderation: Keep an eye on designated channels to ensure people follow the rules
- Remind attendees of “discord etiquette” and Code of Conduct when necessary
- Keeping discussions in appropriate channels, cw/spoiler tags when necessary, etc
- Respond to violation reports
- Assist with technical issues
Zoom moderation: make sure that the presentations run smoothly
- Host and record the meeting
- Introduce the panel and manage Q&A
- Reminding attendees of “zoom etiquette” when necessary
- Help participants with technical questions and issues (where to find the zoom, basic troubleshooting)
- We prefer if you have your camera on as a zoom moderator, but it is not mandatory
