Chobots Staff

The Chobots Staff were the real people who worked professionally for Chobots and were members of the official Chobots Team. Staff members were generally referred to as moderators, a catch-all term, though moderation was just one role fulfilled by certain staff members. Staff members who did not officially work for Vayersoft but instead volunteered remotely were generally referred to as promoted moderators.

Overview

While most staff members were adults employed by the Ukraine-based company that owned and published Chobots, **Vayersoft**, other staff members were volunteers and did not officially work for Vayersoft nor were based at the Vayersoft office in Lviv.

Some staff members worked as moderators, who policed in-game users, enforced the rules, and promoted safety. Other staff members were part of the community team, who were directly involved with the Chobots community, fulfilling roles such as writing on the official Chobots blog. They were often also part of the moderation team. Other staff members belonged to the support team, who responded to players seeking assistance related to Chobots, typically via email. Finally, there were staff members on the development team, including developers, programmers, and engineers who programmed the back-end server-side scripts, as well as artists and designers who produced the visual graphics and arts for Chobots.

Staff members could be identified by a unique moderator badge that appeared in the upper right corner of their player profiles. Moderators could perform special animations called "magic" in rooms and used it to host parties. They also ran official in-game mini-game contests and competitions and could reward bugs and items.

Moderators were able to send users warning notifications, restrict them to picture chat only, kick users out of a server, and ban users from playing the game for a period of time if they broke the rules.
