Compliance checklist

Ready to publish
  • Payment items priced — passingEvery payment question charges a real amount, so a submission always records a payment.
  • Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
  • Legal text not required — passingThis template collects neither health nor regulated financial information.
  • Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

What happens after submit: nothing is stored in this preview. On your own copy, every response triggers an instant email notification and lands in your response dashboard, ready to export or forward.

Who this template is for

Discord Mod Application Form is built for engineering, IT and product teams who need to route technical requests with the context needed to triage them.

  • Engineering, IT and product teams working in technology, saas & dev.
  • Teams who need to route technical requests with the context needed to triage them without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing vague reports that can't be reproduced or prioritised with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are users, testers and internal stakeholders — the form asks them 13 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of vague reports that can't be reproduced or prioritised and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Familiar with our rules?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “Please read the server rules first”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Age bracket” is 13–15, the form dynamically exposes “Parental awareness”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Running a server is a coverage problem before it is a personality problem. This application is built for the owner doing the recruiting: it establishes who the applicant is, how old they are, what time zone they moderate from and how long they have been part of the community, then spends the whole second page on the job itself. The two scenario questions do most of the work — a regular breaking a rule and two members arguing in general are the situations that separate someone who will escalate sensibly from someone who will reach for a ban. Hours per week is asked as a commitment, not an aspiration, so rota gaps are visible before anyone is promoted. Two rules protect the basics: answering 'no' to the rules question surfaces a blocking note pointing the applicant at the rules first, and the youngest age bracket surfaces a parental-awareness note. Recruit for time zones and judgement; enthusiasm is the easy part to find.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 2 conditional rules, grouped into 2 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Familiar with our rules?”

  • Reveals questions

    If “Familiar with our rules?” is No, the form reveals “Please read the server rules first”.

Driven by “Age bracket”

  • Reveals questions

    If “Age bracket” is 13–15, the form reveals “Parental awareness”.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Link your rules

    Replace the placeholder in the rules note with the real link to your rules channel or page.

  2. 2

    Set honest hours

    Edit the hours dropdown to the commitment you actually need so applicants self-select accurately.

  3. 3

    Write your own scenarios

    Swap the two scenarios for incidents that genuinely happen in your server — the answers get far more revealing.

  4. 4

    Post it once, close it once

    Announce a recruitment window and unpublish at the end, rather than leaving applications open indefinitely.

  5. 5

    Trial before you promote

    Give shortlisted applicants limited permissions for two weeks and confirm the role afterwards.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Recruiting on enthusiasm alone and ending up with six moderators in the same time zone and none awake at 3am.
  • Skipping scenario questions, which are the only part of an application that shows judgement rather than intent.
  • Promoting straight from the application without a trial period or a written expectation of hours.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Shortlist on the scenario answers rather than the enthusiasm, check time zone coverage against your quiet hours, run a two-week trial with limited permissions, and confirm the role only after it.

Frequently asked questions

Should minors be allowed to moderate?

That is your policy call. The form flags the youngest bracket with a parental-awareness note so the decision is deliberate rather than accidental.

Why ask about time zones?

Coverage is the main reason servers need more moderators. Recruiting three people in the same time zone solves nothing.

How many scenario questions is right?

Two is usually enough. More and the good candidates stop finishing the application.

Can I use it for other platforms?

Yes. Change the username question and it works for Reddit, Twitch, forums or any volunteer moderation team.
