Some parts of Awropla are indeed moderated, but only so we can make sure the site's content is consistently awesome. Currently, the moderation here is threefold.

1. Forums - The forums are patrolled by volunteer moderators to make sure nothing A) illegal and B) insulting occurs. We do not tolerate unnecessary and unprovoked hatred or insult on the forums. We encourage you to discuss any number of gaming topics, but once the flames start to fly, we will quickly and efficiently warn all involved, and ban accounts if issues persist. We encourage you all to think about what you are typing before you post it; open-minded and constructive discussion and criticism is encouraged and supported, but vitriolic blather is prohibited.

Something you should understand, though, is that all of our moderators are chosen for their fairness and their reasoning abilities. "Cowboy" mods who act alone and get all ornery and ban-happy are just as likely to get chastised and banned as rogue users. If you feel any of our mods are being unfair or aggravating, contact the admins to get the situation resolved. We are always reachable.

2. Community Moderation - The admins and mods can only do so much, and we need your help to keep things awesome. We have implemented a semi-anonymous content-flagging system that you can use to let us know of any content that you feel needs a mod's authoritative perusal. If you find something inflammatory, virulent, malicious, illegal, or just plain opposite of awesome, flag it for a mod to inspect. We'll take a look at it, and only the admins will know who did the flagging.

Also, as stated above, our mods and admins are always available for contact.

Our future goals include implementing a system of 100% community-run moderation. We have some ideas on how to implement it, and will discuss it further on the forums as we get closer to that project.

3. Campaigns and Groups - The submission of new Campaigns and Gaming groups is currently moderated, but only temporarily and for entirely-technical beta-testing purposes. As the beta period ends and new layouts are implemented, these will be opened to unmoderated submission. please note: Campaigns are Groups are the only site content that is moderated pre-posting. This means that yes, these are the only two types of content that require moderator approval for posting.
