Moderate your tournament chat and approve results

Steps

1. Turn the chat on

   Open your competition in the Console and open the Chat tab. Keep the recommended starter and tap Turn on chat. You get #announcements, #general, #results-and-screenshots and #find-your-opponent. Registered players become Players in the chat automatically.

2. Post announcements

   Only staff can post in #announcements, so write your news, times and rule changes there. By default only staff can use @everyone and @channel. Manage channels lets you add, edit, move and archive channels.

3. Add staff and check roles

   In the members panel, Staff adds a moderator by e-mail. Roles & permissions shows what each role can and can't do in each channel.

4. Approve or reject results

   In the match room, the score shows in the bar at the top. Approve publishes it. If you approve before the other side confirms, you see a warning first. Reject lets you add a reason, and both teams see it.

5. Use the Match Center

   The same scores are in Match Center under Result proposals, with the same Approve and Reject buttons. Tap See it in the match room to read the chat and the screenshot first.

6. Work the moderation queue

   Reported messages appear in the Queue with the author and the people who reported them. Delete removes a message, and you can undo it for a few seconds. Use Show to pick Reports, Held: words, Held: links or Held: images, and find past decisions under Resolved.

7. Act on members and set chat safety

   The menu next to a member offers Warn…, Time out…, Kick… and Ban…. Moderators can warn and time out; the organizer and admins can also kick and ban. Every action is saved in the Audit log. The organizer and admins use Chat safety to set the word filter, link rules, who can post images and how long a new account waits before it can post.

8. Point people to help

   How to use the chat, at the bottom of the channel list, opens the player lesson for players and this lesson for staff.

Everyone in the chat can report a message, an image or a profile, and block someone for themselves.
