Welcome to SupportCircle, an online peer support community with 2,400+ members.
You’ve just been made a moderator. Your job? Keep the community safe and supportive without shutting people down.
How to Play
You’ll face 10 tricky situations involving conflict, questionable advice, and difficult decisions. Choose how you’d respond. Every decision affects three things:
- Safety: Are members protected?
- Trust: Do members feel respected and treated fairly?
- Autonomy: Can members speak freely and make their own choices?
There’s not always one right answer! At the end, you’ll get your Moderator Impact Report and see how your decisions compare with your classmates once the results are released.
Your challenge: Can you keep the peace without becoming the problem?
Ready? Your moderation queue is waiting.
