Welcome!
The staff here on Storyteller's Circle try to maintain a supportive, friendly, and approachable demeanor. Towards that end we have setup this thread to introduce our staff, and to put a sense of individuality and familiarity to our names. Please peruse this thread at your leisure and familiarize yourself with our staff members and their areas of expertise and responsibility.
As many of our staff members oversee multiple areas of our site, here's a quick reference guide on who to contact about what:
Site Owners (Dashmiel, Tiko): These are the owners of Storyteller's Circle. These are the people to contact in the event of any concerns regarding any other member of staff. Otherwise see the below lists to determine who you should be contacting about what.
Administrators (Dashmiel, Tiko, and Yun Lee): These individuals oversee the back-end maintenance and running of the website. These are the people to contact if you are experience site issues, bugs, or errors. These are also the people to contact about Epic Forum maintenance such as adding subforums, adding new prefixes, adding/removing co-gms, or modifying permissions.
Global Moderators (Knosis, Jag): These are site-wide moderators who oversee and manage the day-to-day general maintenance of the website. Need a post locked, deleted, or moved? Encountered a spam post? Is someone posting pornographic images into your roleplay? Need to report harassment? Witnessed an altercation that you feel violated our site rules? These situations all fall under the umbrella of the Global Moderators.
If requesting moderator assistance for general forum maintenance or rule violations, please make use of the 'report' function on the relevant post. This ensures that the first available moderator can respond to the incident. If the matter is of a more personal/complex nature then feel free to PM one of the Global Moderators directly.
If the matter occurs within our live discord channel and there isn't a moderator present at the time of an incident then please report it directly to a moderator via a PM. We rarely live-monitor chat 24/7, so if incidents don't get reported, they won't be addressed.
Forum Moderators (Machina Somnium: Creative Forums): These are forum-specific moderators. If there is a matter within a specific forum that requires a moderate then you should contact the moderator of that forum. These individuals are also responsible for fostering activity and growth within their forums, so feel free to contact them about general inquiries, ideas, questions, or assistance as well. You can easily check if a forum has a forum moderator in the forum description. If there is no designated forum moderator then direct any inquiries or concerns to a global moderator or use the 'report' function.
Mentors (Machina Somnium): This is our general support group for all things roleplaying. Need help finding your way around the site? Need assistance starting a roleplay? Want advice on GMing? Want feedback on a post? Need more resources to find players for your roleplays? These are the people to talk to. Either PM them directly or swing on by our Writer's Circle or Help Forum. Note that forum posts are the most efficient means of getting assistance because it means the first available Mentor can assist you, rather than us needing to bounce people around to available Mentors. If you opt for PMs please be patient and understand that any one individual may be at work, asleep, or otherwise unavailable at any given time and you may have to wait until they're around before you get a reply. Help forum posts can be responded to faster because the entire team can see them rather than a single individual.
