Moderator
Overview
The Moderator rank is the only volunteer staff role on Minehut. In the present day, players can submit applications to be a Moderator on the Minehut Forums. Currently, there is no hierarchy within the volunteer team, although the Junior Moderator rank is used for moderators in training.
This rank is not able to be purchased, due to the nature of how it is obtained. You can find a full list of users with this rank here.
In the past, players could submit applications and instead of receiving the Moderator rank, they would receive either Junior Moderator or Helper (depending on which rank was used during that period) when they were accepted. Players could also be promoted to Senior Moderator once they were a Moderator.
This system was removed in May 2021 with the original volunteer team and would not return when the volunteer team was brought back in December 2022. The Junior Moderator rank would return in March 2025 as a rank for moderators in training, although unlike its previous depiction; the Junior Moderator rank was not below the Moderator rank in a hierarchy, the rank was merely a training version of the traditional Moderator rank.
History
The Luuke Era
This section is a stub. You can help the Minehut Wiki by expanding it.
Throughout the Luuke era, the Moderator rank was a constant in the staff team, regardless of the ranks above and below it. When Minehut first launched, the ranks were: Owner, Administrator, Moderator & Helper.[2]
Eventually, this would be changed to Senior Moderators, Moderators & Junior Moderators. At this time, the Senior Moderators led the Minehut Staff team in terms of recruitment, promotions & demotions.[3]
When Super League purchased Minehut on July 18th, 2018, no immediate changes were made to the Moderator rank or the positions surrounding it.
The Super League Era
This section is a stub. You can help the Minehut Wiki by expanding it.
Throughout the early times in the Super League era of Minehut, the Moderator position largely remained the same, although the ranks surrounding it would change. A player would apply to join the Minehut Staff team, they would be given Helper or Junior Moderator (depending on which rank was in use) if accepted, and then they would be promoted to Moderator once they finished their trial.
Just like in the later stages of the Luuke era, there were Senior Moderators. They led different aspects of the Minehut Staff team, and some would even lead the recruitment of other staff members.
In May 2021, the Minehut Staff team was disbanded in favour of a paid moderation team. This paid moderation team would remain on Minehut until October 15th, 2022. From October 16th to December 19th, no moderators existed on Minehut. All moderation during this time was done by Super League employees.
On December 20th, 2022, moderators were re-introduced to Minehut in the form of seasonal moderators. The initial seasonal moderators were PoikNerd, _Tarna_, lilrosalyn, and Santio71. As the season went on, these moderators became a permanent addition. Applications would re-open for moderation positions, although the only rank this time was Moderator. There were no Senior Moderators or Junior Moderators / Helpers.
The GamerSafer Era
Since GamerSafer acquired Minehut on February 27th, 2024, Moderator has remained the central rank for moderation. Junior Moderator was added, however, for moderators in training. The top rank has remained Admin which is a rank for GamerSafer employees working primarily on Minehut only.
