What do the positions at PC mean? Such as Administrator?

The PokéCommunity has different tiers that represent a person's standing within the forums. These tiers influence the amount of responsibility a member is allowed to have while posting, and in no way reflects their status as individuals. A member with a higher donation tier, for example, is not "better" than a member who hasn't donated. For information on supporter tiers, see "What are the supporter ranks and what differences do they have?"

The staff of PC can be broken into different ranks that represents the amount of responsibility they have within across the board. They can be individuals that watch over a section or another platform, or the people who look after areas outside of local forums, but still carry the name, rules, and overall atmosphere we generate at PC, such as The PokéCommunity Pokémon Showdown server.

  • Fan Games Team moderate the fan games area on the forums. Some oversee the ROM Hacking sections, while others focus on other Game Development.
  • Developers & Designers aid the administrators in developing the forum's design and functionality, such as adding new features or styles or improving the site's performance.
  • Social Media Team run our social media platforms, such as PC Twitter and PC Facebook. You're always welcome to comment on media posts and get in touch with them there!
  • Discord Moderoids moderate our PC Discord Server and do their best to make it the most fun place to hang out and most useful place for chatting about Pokémon besides the forums.
  • Daily Staff produce content for the zine PokéCommunity Daily as well as moderate the Daily Workshop section. They find and create news and articles for you to enjoy on a regular basis - but you don't have to be a part of the Daily Staff to contribute yourself! Read more here.
  • Battle Staff moderate PC's battle server as well as the Competitive Pokémon section. Besides enforcing PC's rules and keeping spammers at a minimum, the battle staff sustains a fun, friendly environment while members battle and chat with other members of The PokéCommunity. They are also responsible for updating the server regularly and making sure it functions properly and being available both on the server and on the forums to address any concerns that arise.
  • Moderators are the members who look after one or more sections that make up The PokéCommunity Forums. Their role is to perform standard moderation cleanup within their section(s), which includes but is not limited to closing and moving threads, issuing badges, and (hopefully seldom) handing out warnings/infractions. Moderators are the members one should contact if ever in need of help, whether it be a question about a specific section or thread or a request to resolve an issue with another member. Moderators go out of their way to make themselves available for open discussion with anyone and everyone, so don't hesitate.
  • Moderator Leads oversee the forum moderator team and its operations. They are responsible for making sure moderators are performing their duties adequately, keeping an eye on forums that may be short-staffed, and discussing new members to promote.
  • Administrators consist of the members who have total control over The PokéCommunity Forums. They deal with the most fundamental of issues within the community and are often responsible for the drastic aesthetic and practical changes that effect the way member's personalize and view the forums. Administrators oversee all staff teams and platforms of PC and play the most prominent role in shaping PC to be the best forum it can be.
  • Webmaster rank denotes ownership of the forum, a title currently held by Sheep. Along with the administrators, the owner of PC make all final decisions for the running of the community. The owner is the fluffiest lady on all of PC and commands the utmost of love from her dear memberlings.
