==Staff Positions==
[[File:Socialisation.png|200px|thumb|right|Art of the Staff Pokésonas (As of 31-8-2018)]]
The staff is divided into various roles, each with a specific set of duties. Administrative privileges granted to staff members are not available to general users and vary depending on their responsibilities. For their service to PFQ, all staff members receive [[Hypermode]] and access to the "Staff Hideout" section of the [[Public Forums]]. [[Rank#Community_Helper_Ranks|Community Helper]] ranks, such as Wiki Editor or Helping Hand, are also available to Staff members.
 
===Administrators===
On PokéFarm Q, administrators (Admins) hold the highest positions of authority. Administrators are in charge of maintaining PFQ and are directly in charge of all PFQ operations. Administrators are able to overrule all staff members under them.
 
The System Administrator (Programmer), Staff Administrator, and Art Director are the three administrator positions on PFQ. Niet, the System Administrator and Programmer of PFQ, is responsible for all of PFQ's internal maintenance, which includes resolving bug reports, developing and [[Updates|updating site features]], and maintaining the system. The staff administrator, Garthic, is in charge of overseeing the staff and their daily tasks. The position of Art Director for PFQ is currently unfilled, but they would be in charge of all are-related matters, such as event design, sprite development, and artwork.

===Super Moderators/Managers===
Super Moderators (SuperMods) are experienced Staff members who oversee general Staff affairs. Super Mods have a strong presence among the Staff and are capable of overruling lower-ranking staff members. Super Mods are consulted for matters beyond the scope of a Moderator's experience or control.
 
The majority of the Super Mods hold Manager positions as well. Each Manager position has unique responsibilities that are specific to them and is a secondary position within the Staff.

===Moderators===
Moderators (Mods) work to keep PokéFarm in a stable state of order and peace by ensuring that all [[Rules]] are followed and enforced. Moderators have the ability to kick users from the [[Chat|PFQ Discord Server]], remove and edit user content, and manage the [[Support Centre]]. Users can ask for assistance from Moderators with any problems they might encounter on the website.

====Forum Moderators====
The [[Public Forums]] on PokéFarm Q are maintained by Forum Moderators (Forum Mods). A Forum Moderator has the same authority as a general moderator but is not required to carry out a General Moderator's responsibilities. Their primary objectives are to manage inactive threads, reduce SPAM, and clean up forum subsections.
:<span class="plainlinks">The current Forum Mods are [https://pokefarm.com/user/Cele Cele], [https://pokefarm.com/user/Setsuko Setsuko], and [https://pokefarm.com/user/yosei-san yosei-san].</span>

===Moderators-in-Training===
Users who are undergoing training to become full Moderators (General or Forum) are referred to as Moderators-in-Training (MiT). MiT's have the same administrative powers as Moderators, and are readily available to answer questions or to help out with user problems and concerns.
 
Despite being lower on the staff hierarchy than Moderators, MiTs have the same authority to make decisions and issue warnings. The same respect and consideration should be shown to MiTs as to Moderators.
 
:<span class="plainlinks"> There are currently no MiTs.


{{Note}} The majority of the information found on this page was taken from the Offical Staff Roster <ref>Staff Roster, Announcement Forum [http://q.pokefarm.org/forum/thread/34/Staff-Roster/]</ref>, which is updated every time a staffing change is made. Information without a source was retrieved from this page or through Staff verification.  
===Graphics Team===
Members of the Graphics Team create a variety of artwork for the use on PFQ.  Despite being part of the staff, members of the Graphic Team are not required to take part in other staff-related operations and do not have any administrative powers. Graphics Team members should not be contacted with sensitive, staff-related issues.

__TOC__
===ChatOT===
==List of all Staff Members and Positions==
The PFQ Discord server is moderated by ChatOTs, a unique category of moderator. Although ChatOTs have some administrative powers on-site, their duties are restricted to server management. Their responsibilities include granting users off-site link permissions, ensuring that no inappropriate content is shared, and monitoring the server's users.


<div style="display:inline; float:left; padding-right:20px;"><table id="toc" class="toc" cellpadding="2"><tr><td><div id="toctitle" style="text-align:center;"><b>Contents</b></div> <font color="#0645c7">

</font></td></tr></table></div> The Staff is divided into multiple positions to better manage the site and the userbase. Although each staff position, and the users inside them, have there own responsibilities and roles, the members of the Staff often work together to run the website more efficiently. Following this process, matters presented to the Staff will often move up the Staff hierarchy, and reach multiple member of the Staff, until a resolution is found.  


The following table has thorough information regarding PokéFarm Q's Official Staff, and is not presented in any particular order. Here are some tips for reading the large table below:
===Retired Staff===
* {{Explain|More information can be accessed by hovering over similarly styled text.|Tooltips|}} are used throughout the table to provide extra information. Tooltips of the same name, display the same information.
The Retired Staff position are users who are former members of the Staff. Retired staff is not an actual staff position; it is merely an honorific. Retired Staff members do not have any responsibilities or administrative powers, and should not be contacted with questions concerning their leave from the Staff.
* The Contents box (displayed to the left of this text) can be used to quickly jump to a specific staff position.
* Positions currently being held by a staff member are indented, with additional padding, for ease of distinction.
* Positions that are currently held on both PF1 and PFQ are merged into a single position.  


==Userbars==
All staff members receive special userbars, which are visible above their Rank on the forums and in [[Personal Messages]]. On the website, a staff userbar that displays the holder's position can be used to confirm that they are an actual member of the staff. Apart from Moderators in Training, all members of staff are given a custom userbar that features the staff member's PokéSona and use their preferred colours. Staff userbars will sometimes list secondary positions instead of primary positions, e.g. Shazi, a member of the Graphics Team and a Super Moderator, has a "Super Moderator" userbar.

All members of the staff have PokéSonas, many of which are Non-player Characters (NPCs) that contribute to PokéFarm's storyline. The [[Bonus Counter]]s, [[Lab]], [[Wishforge]], and [[Dojo]] all feature staff NPCs. Staff NPCs all perform tasks relevant to the PokéSonas they are based on, e.g. Ravyne's NPCs are both based around [[Gems]].

The Staff are users who are responsible for the management of PokéFarm Q. The official list of the current team can be found on the Staff Roster.

Staff Positions

Art of the Staff Pokésonas (As of 31-8-2018)

The staff is divided into various roles, each with a specific set of duties. Administrative privileges granted to staff members are not available to general users and vary depending on their responsibilities. For their service to PFQ, all staff members receive Hypermode and access to the "Staff Hideout" section of the Public Forums. Community Helper ranks, such as Wiki Editor or Helping Hand, are also available to Staff members.

Administrators

On PokéFarm Q, administrators (Admins) hold the highest positions of authority. Administrators are in charge of maintaining PFQ and are directly in charge of all PFQ operations. Administrators are able to overrule all staff members under them.

The System Administrator (Programmer), Staff Administrator, and Art Director are the three administrator positions on PFQ. Niet, the System Administrator and Programmer of PFQ, is responsible for all of PFQ's internal maintenance, which includes resolving bug reports, developing and updating site features, and maintaining the system. The staff administrator, Garthic, is in charge of overseeing the staff and their daily tasks. The position of Art Director for PFQ is currently unfilled, but they would be in charge of all are-related matters, such as event design, sprite development, and artwork.

The current Administrators are Garthic (Staff Admin) and Niet (System Admin).


System Admin (Niet) Admin (Garthic)

Super Moderators/Managers

Super Moderators (SuperMods) are experienced Staff members who oversee general Staff affairs. Super Mods have a strong presence among the Staff and are capable of overruling lower-ranking staff members. Super Mods are consulted for matters beyond the scope of a Moderator's experience or control.

The majority of the Super Mods hold Manager positions as well. Each Manager position has unique responsibilities that are specific to them and is a secondary position within the Staff.

The current SuperMods are Eltafez (General SuperMod), Methos (General SuperMod), Novan-chan (Art Manager), and Shazi (Art Manager).

Moderators

Moderators (Mods) work to keep PokéFarm in a stable state of order and peace by ensuring that all Rules are followed and enforced.

Users can ask for assistance from Moderators with any problems they might encounter on the website.

The current Moderators are CelestialEspy, Devi, Gumshoe, KitKatKutie2, Loksfjoer, Suríya, Terabbit, and tyler.

Forum Moderators

The Public Forums on PokéFarm Q are maintained by Forum Moderators (Forum Mods). A Forum Moderator has the same authority as a general moderator but is not required to carry out a General Moderator's responsibilities. Their primary objectives are to manage inactive threads, reduce SPAM, and clean up forum subsections.

The current Forum Mods are Cele, Setsuko, and yosei-san.

Moderators-in-Training

Users who are undergoing training to become full Moderators (General or Forum) are referred to as Moderators-in-Training (MiT). MiT's have the same administrative powers as Moderators, and are readily available to answer questions or to help out with user problems and concerns.

Despite being lower on the staff hierarchy than Moderators, MiTs have the same authority to make decisions and issue warnings. The same respect and consideration should be shown to MiTs as to Moderators.

There are currently no MiTs.

Graphics Team

Members of the Graphics Team create a variety of artwork for the use on PFQ. Despite being part of the staff, members of the Graphic Team are not required to take part in other staff-related operations and do not have any administrative powers. Graphics Team members should not be contacted with sensitive, staff-related issues.

The current members of the Graphics Team are: AlyssaNights, BananaLizard, DuchessLunaire, Eggy, ICEBUNN, Nunka, QuirkyRabbit, Rebecca Marigold and Zio.

ChatOT

The PFQ Discord server is moderated by ChatOTs, a unique category of moderator. Although ChatOTs have some administrative powers on-site, their duties are restricted to server management. Their responsibilities include granting users off-site link permissions, ensuring that no inappropriate content is shared, and monitoring the server's users.

There are currently no ChatOTs.

Retired Staff

The Retired Staff position are users who are former members of the Staff. Retired staff is not an actual staff position; it is merely an honorific. Retired Staff members do not have any responsibilities or administrative powers, and should not be contacted with questions concerning their leave from the Staff.

Userbars

All staff members receive special userbars, which are visible above their Rank on the forums and in Personal Messages. On the website, a staff userbar that displays the holder's position can be used to confirm that they are an actual member of the staff. Apart from Moderators in Training, all members of staff are given a custom userbar that features the staff member's PokéSona and use their preferred colours. Staff userbars will sometimes list secondary positions instead of primary positions, e.g. Shazi, a member of the Graphics Team and a Super Moderator, has a "Super Moderator" userbar.

Generic Userbars

User-nonspecific userbars exist for certain staff positions. Those in the first row are typically only used until personalized userbars are created.

PokéSonas

All members of the staff have PokéSonas, many of which are Non-player Characters (NPCs) that contribute to PokéFarm's storyline. The Bonus Counters, Lab, Wishforge, and Dojo all feature staff NPCs. Staff NPCs all perform tasks relevant to the PokéSonas they are based on, e.g. Ravyne's NPCs are both based around Gems.

Below is a gallery featuring PFQ's error page images. All of the images were made by Artist Novan-Chan, they each feature different members of the staff.
