🚨 The GDevelop community needs more moderators!

Thanks, we’re a bit tied up elsewhere, but I’ll look into it for early 2026.
Yes, we are still looking for moderators, but especially Discord moderators.

Submissions are welcome even 1 or 10 years after the topic have opened.
In any case, we’re indeed looking for impartial people, but also those who are in it for the long term.

Alright.
Unfortunently, I don’t have discord so can’t help you there. As for the long term, I think I will be sticking around GDevelop for a while! :smile:

No worries! Thanks for taking the time to look into my submission.

I’ve been a Mod on other gaming forums so I have experience.

Can I put my ā€œhatā€ in the box for this?

Yep!
Bouh has linked a form above, anyone can fill it out to apply!

Of course, certain skills and attributes improve your chances, such as how long you’ve been on the forum, your trust level, etc.

@Ambytar I needed to read it few times because i could not believe my own eyes

You want to tell me reason someone was able to necropost was because topic was not closed?
Where if it would be closed someone would not be able to necropost?
So we allow necropost if topic is not closed but then how to necropost closed topics?

Just to be clear i did see mods close topics cause of necroposting

@petlimpet what you realized or not does not matter here
What Snowy is doing is
It really don’t matter that he necropost
But i seen him bumping other topics cause he feels its cool

NONE of you two Ambytar and Petiimpet provided any arguments in favor of Snowy
That proves how good candidate he is
You don’t even have anything to defend him with
I as arguments here would name all virtues of some user and not try to find excuses why my argument fell flat

Some ppl say i should be moderator heck some even think i am the owner of gdevelop cause of my activity here and on discord

Just because you like someone or what someone is doing does not makes that person moderator material

@SnowyRawrGamer i have nothing against you
In fact i think you are warm heart person
But that is not enough in my eyes to be good moderator
Lucky for you i have nothing to say here in that regard
So hope you get lucky

@ZeroX4
Well, I would not even call it a necropost in this case.

It can be obviosly assumed that they are still looking for new moderators, so this topic is still a current one, even it is 6 months old.

  • The application link is still working.
  • There was no announcement that the search for moderators has ended in this topic.

There is even a confirmation about that they are indeed still looking for moderators made later. (Which you’ve probably already read).


I don’t know why you’ve got this intepretation but for clarification:
I haven’t said that he would be a good candidate, so I don’t need to provide any arguments (I am neutral about this).

Replying to 20 years old post you may not call necropost and that would not change anything here
What you consider necroposting is your opinion
I gonna stick kinda official definition

If you want i can throw here few more definitions

I never & nowhere said:

  • recruitment is over/closed
  • no one should send their candidature
  • no one is looking for new mods anymore
  • topic is not current anymore

Interpretation was to Petiimpet
To prove a point that even ppl who would care to add to topic in whatever manner
Have nothing to say in favor of Snowy
Aside from him not providing any

It was not for you directly
However i can totally agree it does look like its directed to you also
So sorry for any confusion there

BTW i don’t need any argument
I was more expecting ppl to think for a reason of supporting someone here
Like asking themselves
Does my only argument is that i like someone?

Are u sure? lol.

See? very responsible!

Yep …im not mod material.
Zero - I just think that the biggest factors in whether a someone should be a mod or not are - Are they active on the forum?, do they want to do it?, and are they fair and reasonable? - so is Snowy such a ridiculous suggestion? . You can throw other factors in like in depth GDevelop knowledge etc …but how deep is the barrel here?

Im not joking, i disagree with that.

hmm, depends. From what snowy has shown me and the rest of us he has contributed more then me in a faster amount of time. i think we all know he has impacted the forum no? Imagine we never had the forum game? (like that would be sad and crazy)

Then what is?

Do u think petlimpet has a chance @ZeroX4?

who in your opinion other then keith and mrmen has a chance at doing it?

personally i still think snowy has a chance at this, u never know untill u try!)

Ok you think this
I think that
And who is right?

Actually we should ask moderation
Cause they can speak from experience

BUT in my eyes
You want many ppl who can do something good
Rather than one person who can just be here constantly

I seen how it went many times and it never went well
Snowy and you can have best intention here
Which will not mean it will be best decision

On other hand i cannot deny the fact that Snowy can in fact learn how to be good moderator

Moderator is NOT your friend
Moderator does not need to be nice to you
Moderator should be simply polite and not AHOLE
Moderator should do his job
Moderator should be just
Moderator should not do stuff for which he should punish others
Moderator should try to calm the situation instead of allowing it to go on or even escalate
Moderator should not take sides but uphold some standard to the rules ppl should obey
Moderator PREFERABLY should be part of community and come to it to solve everyday problems like being actually helpful
And not come here just so mute and ban ppl

I can name few more but i think thats enough
Now read them carefully and DO NOT tell me but ask yourself to how many Snowy fit?
To me only thing Snowy have is the fact he is nice person and he is active here and nothing more

But on other hand idk what are criteria for becoming mod here
I just speak from my experience

Never seen Snowy do something moderator should do
MANY times i seen Snowy doing something moderator should punish

1st of all
Idk why you ppl ask for my opinion
I am not any authority here
Heck i am 1st person you SHOULD NOT listen to

Anyway you ask 2 different question
1 - IDK who have a chance
2 - I am not saying Snowy cannot be mod good mod
But that he is not good mod material right now
You guys do not support him cause of his work here
But cause how polite he is and nice

I say he does not fit being a mod
He is not moderator material in my eyes
He would need to learn a lot
And that could change everything

You know today you cannot be JS mentor cause you don’t know JS
You do not fit position of JS mentor
AFTER you learn JS we gonna have totally different conversation about you being JS mentor

Imagine you are nice you are always here
Is that enough to be JS mentor?

Like i feel i am explaining to you guys something that should be obvious

Moderator you don’t want to become
Moderator you are being asked to become cause of your activity

And let me repeat
NEVER i seen Snowy doing anything moderator should do
However i seen him many times doing something moderator should punish

Hello everyone

It seems that this tempts some people. It must also be said that places are expensive! (French expression)

I would add that being a moderator gives you rights but also and above all obligations.
I could detail them if you’re interested, although Zero has already done that well.

First of all, I’m going to try my hardest not to be offended by this :slight_smile:

Second of all, it’s very true that I’m not a ā€œmagic solutionā€ to all of the moderator problems on the forum. Here is how I feel about the situation at the moment: (This is not meant as an argument, this is just explaining my reasoning on why I applied and why I feel the forum should have more moderators)

  1. It seems like Bouh and Davy are the only 2 moderators that are active on the forum, so I think having a 3rd (or 4th or 5th!) person would be helpful. Besides, Bouh already has enough on his plate. If you didn’t know, Bouh is also the customer support for GDevelop, he also moderates and adds community submitted templates and assets to GDevelop, he even creates templates himself! With all of that (and probably) more going on, he still comes every single day to the forum, responds to flags, and helps others.
  2. I know I (and probably no one else here) would be the ā€œPerfect Moderatorā€ which is why other people should also apply. Everyone has a different skillset, so who knows!
  3. I feel like I could be a good moderator. And anyone can apply, so why not!

Also one other thing I need to respond to…

You can always reach out to me if you find me doing something that a moderator should punish. No one is perfect, but I’m trying my best to be nice and respectful to everyone on the forum. If something that I’m doing is bothering you (or someone else), I will try to change my behaviour in a way that respects everyone. :smile:

One more thing before I wrap this up:
Instead of hopping on a topic, and talking about all the bad things about people, what if we tried turning this around and encouraging others?

petlimpet, your knowledge and humour would make you a great member of this forum. You are always there to help, and cheer people up, even when they are struggling with a problem with their game.

zGameCreator, you are always actively visiting the forum and trying out peoples games. Almost every time someone posts their game on here asking for feedback, you try out there game and give genuine constructive feedback to help them improve. You are also a great game maker. Even in the short few days you had to make a game for the game jam, you finished a great game with really unique mechanics, while others such as myself didn’t even submit a game.

Ambytar, I haven’t seen you much around here but whenever you respond it’s always a great answer. In fact, I feel like you would also make a great moderator. You should apply!

Amigo54, I always see you leaving great replies and helping others on the forum.

ZeroX4, the amount of coding knowledge you have is WILD. The in-depth forum tutorials you make are crazy, and help so many people. Most of the time, it seems like no one on the forums knows the answer to a problem, and then you swoop in with the perfect answer at the perfect time.

Bouh, I’ve already talked about you in here, but you are seriously awesome. You put so much work and effort into everything, while still multitasking and getting many things done at once.

Thanks everyone for being a part of this amazing forum :smile:
(If I didn’t talk about you here, it’s not that I forgot you, but writing a kind message about every single forum user I’ve met would take up too much space in this one reply)

Don’t forget that, tp be a good moderator is in relation with some human qualities like impartiality, honesty, etc; and the qualities needed have a little report with GDevelop knowledge.

That is something moderator should not say

Davy is not moderator
You want to be moderator and you don’t even know who is moderator?

Being a moderator is not something you want to or not
Its more like are you suited for it or not
You want to be moderator why exactly?
I can lure you into saying something stupid but i think you had enough of that
If you would want to be mod because there is A LOT of wrong doing here and you could help fix that
Then i would support you
But right now it looks like you want to be mod cause you want to be mod
That is not valid reason in fact that is reason why you should not be one

I am not a moderator i should not need to reach out to you to tell you you are doing something wrong
You want to become moderator and you are openly admitting you do not know what rules we have here?
And because of that you don’t know what is NOT OK to do?

Great start i really wish you luck cause you gonna need it

And i genuinely believe we need ppl who do something wrong
So other can learn what not to do
If you are only person in the room doing something none else is doing
Then you are perfect example for others

Its not about bothering me or someone else cause any1 here can block whoever they want
Its about doing something wrong even admitting you know you are doing something wrong and then still doing it

Saying sorry for the bump
Proves you know its not ok and you don’t give a F cause you gonna do it anyway
You are not even close to mod material
But you are perfect example of what moderator should not be

And look what you are doing
Instead of listing things that makes you good candidate for a mod
You say

I will try to change my behaviour in a way that respects everyone

You will try?
I would say step 1 is reading rules and not trying anything
And then again instead of proving me wrong you are trying to encourage others
You really have no arguments in favor for you becoming mod
Your only reason is that you want to be a moderator
And other ppl justify it by you are being nice

Don’t take it as attack its just my personal opinion
I think you are good person
If this would be game server i would totally see you as someone like Game Sage
But for sure not a moderator

But still that should be given to you cause of your actions
And not cause you ask for it

AND FINALLY
MAYBE you can be good moderator one day
I am just saying
TODAY in my eyes you are not even close to decent moderator
At best you would be nice moderator

Im not trying to be rude, but i 100% disagree with this.

I apologise. i was just trying to ask u a question as a freind and not counter you.

Rlly?

I feel honored when i see those kind words!

I dont believe this, why dont we ask a true moderator?

Waay over the top, please explain.

Disagree with me in fact i happy about it
I see it strange when ppl agree with me

  • Moderator is someone to do his job
    You idk are positing here each day link to let’s say some youtuber
    And you were told nicely
    Hey zGameCreator please don’t do it
    Its not ok here
    BUT you are still doing it

  • Mod should not be so polite and friendly (i don’t mean should be a hole)
    Mod after 2nd instance should tell you ā€œtoday you are getting warning next one will get you banned so stop posting such links hereā€
    Moderator is here to moderate
    Not to be rude or polite but also not to be your friend
    Of course being polite and friendly is welcome
    But that does not mean mod should be always like that

IDK what is the difference do you counter me or ask as friend

  • I do get you want to know
    But my point is
    Don’t you think more important is what you think than what i think?

Yes really and we don’t need to ask mods about it

  • I see Snowy bumping posts often
    Where he is openly admitting he knows its not ok but he gonna do it anyway
    I see him often reply to some topics without adding context but just likely replaying for sake of replaying
    We could in fact go trough his activity and find out am i a liar or not

  • Very fast we will see is he behaving like moderator or like someone who want to hang around here

Davy is dev not a leader

  • You fail to understand who is who here same as Snowy
    Actually not event to understand but to simply check

Your stepping stone should be you taking actions right here right now

  • I see more intentions here than actual actions

Did you just seriously want to prove a point by amount of likes your post gonna get?

  • Sense of responsibility by pumping his own posts
    By being proven there is no interest in his idea
    Yet painfully want to push it over others just cause he feels like it?

Btw this should be sent to moderation
And not openly discussed within other users
Cause question here is
Would moderation would allow it and see it as something helpful
And not do users like the idea

At this point i think there is other important question here
@SnowyRawrGamer You can send me DM with answer if you don’t feel comfortable revealing it here to public
I am not gonna reveal whatever your answer will be
There is no shame in whatever truth is
I just want to ask you how old are you?

Won’t be giving out personal information on here, but one of the questions in the form Bouh sent is your birthday. Bouh knows it and still is considering me, so I should be in the required age group.

Again, I will not try to argue with you, but I will say I made that post publicly so that I could get people’s opinions on the matter. 4ian’s description specifically states: No question by private message or by email please : instead post it on the forum, so that everyone can answer and search for the question later :+1:

I get that bumping posts might be a bad thing, but you do have to wonder, would it be worse to make a 2nd post of the exact same topic?

Maybe it could be useful to close this topic and make a new one:
-GDevelop community needs more moderators 2026- so newer candidates would not be confused by secondary discussions.
