Question 1
Why do you want to manage the REC.ZONE Discord? What specific problems would you solve and what improvements would you prioritize in the first 30 days?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Interesting — what's the #1 mistake you see community managers make that you'd never repeat?
Question 2
Describe every Discord server you have managed or administered in detail — name (if public), peak member count, your exact role, what you built, and the outcome. If none, describe the largest or most complex server you have actively participated in as a senior staff member.
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
No formal management experience yet — what leadership experience do you have anywhere else in life, and why do you believe you can run a staff team?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Nice — what was the biggest community you helped run, and what would you do differently if you could start it over?
Question 3
List every bot and Discord tool you have hands-on experience configuring. For each (MEE6, Dyno, Carl-bot, Wick, YAGPDB, Sapphire, etc.) describe exactly how you have set it up — auto-mod rules, welcome flows, role menus, logging, anti-raid, etc.
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Not much bot experience? No problem — which bot would you learn first for REC.ZONE, and what's the first thing you'd set it up to do?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
You mentioned Carl-bot — what specifically have you configured with it? Reaction roles, automod, logging? Walk us through your setup.
Question 4
Walk us through how you would audit and restructure a gaming community Discord from scratch for 10,000+ members. What channels, categories, roles, and permissions would you create? How would you onboard new members? Be specific.
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Thorough — now the hard part: if you had to delete half the channels you just described to reduce clutter, which go first and why?
Question 5
SCENARIO: Two of your senior moderators are in an open, ongoing conflict that has spilled into staff channels. Other moderators are taking sides, team morale is suffering, and moderation quality is declining. How do you resolve this without losing either moderator or further damaging the team?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Interesting — what if it turned out one of those mods was actually in the right and the other was the real problem? How do you handle disciplining a mod?
Question 6
SCENARIO: REC.ZONE goes viral overnight. The Discord goes from 500 members to 15,000 in 48 hours. Spam, trolls, self-promoters, and ban evasion accounts flood in. Your moderation team is overwhelmed. What systems do you put in place immediately, and what is your 7-day recovery plan?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Good plan — what one metric would you watch most closely during that growth spike to know if things were going wrong?
Question 7
Describe at least 3 specific, concrete strategies you have used or would use to increase member engagement, reduce inactivity, and build long-term community loyalty in a gaming Discord.
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Interesting — of those strategies, which one has actually failed for you before, and what did you learn?
Question 8
How do you recruit, vet, onboard, and train new moderators? What does your trial period look like? How do you identify and address underperformance?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
You didn't go deep here — describe exactly what a new mod's first week under you would look like, day by day.
Question 9
What metrics would you track to evaluate the health and growth of the REC.ZONE Discord? How would you present this data to leadership?
Question 10
How many hours per week can you commit to this role? What is your timezone and when are you most available?
Question 11
Why should we trust you with this role? What makes you accountable and reliable when nobody is watching?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Interesting — now the flip side: what's a genuine reason we might hesitate to trust you, and how would you prove us wrong?
Question 12
Describe how you work in a team. What do you do when you strongly disagree with a teammate on how something should be done?
Question 13
How do you handle harsh or blunt criticism of your work? Tell us about a time you received tough feedback and what you did with it.
Question 14
This is a passion project — what motivates you to contribute your time and skill to something like REC.ZONE?
Question 15
What real-life commitments (school, work, family, other projects) could affect your availability, and how will you balance them?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
You said not much would get in the way — be realistic with us: what would actually pull you away, and how would you give us a heads-up?
Question 16
Are you currently part of any other teams, servers, studios, or projects? If so, which ones and in what capacity?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Noted — how would you balance REC.ZONE with those other commitments if both needed you at once?
Question 17
What is your greatest strength for this role, and what is one genuine weakness you are actively working on?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Good self-awareness — what are you actively doing right now to work on that weakness?
Question 18
Where do you see yourself within REC.ZONE six months from now if accepted?
💬 Follow-up ✦ based on your answer Optional
Interesting vision — what's the first concrete step you'd take in week one to head toward that?
Question 19 Optional — skip if you want
How did you find REC.ZONE? Did someone refer you? If so, who?
Question 20 Optional — skip if you want
Anything else you want us to know about you — personality, work style, or anything that sets you apart?
