PixPet opened recently up for everyone and therefor activity also grew by a lot in the past days. We notice it especially here in the forums! We had quite a lot of new topics and even more replies in them!
This also means, that we need to take more care of the forums from now on.


Therefore, we are now looking for new additions to the Forum Moderators in the next days!




There is not much you need to do. Simply fill out the following application form in order to apply for the position.

What we expect from Forum Moderators:
  • Being Active in the Forums,

  • Being friendly and helpful to others,

  • and
  • Viewing and solving problems in a neutral, non-biased way





  • [Update] We will look for 2 Mods. Deadline for Applications will be the 4th on January, 2019. The new mods will be announced shortly after.
    If you want to to know more, either read this reply or ask your questions in this thread!

    I'm not thinking of being a mod in the near future though i'm open to it, but I have some questions that I think other users would also like to know too:

    1.What are the major differences between game moderators and forum moderators? Can one do other's job if the issue isn't reported yet?

    2.How will the mods enforce these rules? Is there a system such as how much warnings you get? Do they send them through personal messages?

    3.How offensive/bad of words do the mods tolerate? Such as, are the lowly offensive words such as "dumb" allowed in forum arguments if they arise or even in general conversations?

    4.Are there any other criteria the mods must meet? Hours played? Amount of warnings? Age?

    5.How much game/forum/discord mods are you expecting that you need to achieve a pleasant atmosphere? Will this be open until the desired amount of mods are assembled then?

    i would also like to ask, since this is volunteer work for the most part, what would moderators get in return for their work?

    @godzilla I don't think there would be any reward, from my past experiences as a Moderator you don't get anything but maybe a little title or something, and depending on what you are moderating, permissions. ( To deal with rule breakers usually. ) If you join the Mod team, either for the Discord, the game itself or the Forums. you'd be doing it to help benefit Pixpets, to make it a better place and help it grow into a fun place for everyone. Not for self-gain.

    @jaden oh i know! i was just asking because i was curious! other sites i have moderated for have given currency or premium currency to their volunteer staff to compensate for their free work. i'm completely fine with the fact of no reward at all, either. :}

    @godzilla I had a feeling haha, didn't mean to seem stern there if I did. xD
    But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they give out tickets or something for volunteers. It is probably best that they didn't announce that though, don't want people trying to sign up just for that.

    @jaden oh no you're fine! i feel like i worded it in a way where i was only looking at the benefits of being mod o/ ;;;; and i totally get you! i'd rather hire honest and loyal people rather than people who are only in it for the gain

    1. Forum Moderators moderate the forum and Game Moderators moderate the game. Basically anything that goes under the "Game Tab" is for the Game Mods and anything under "Forum and Help" for the Forum mods.

    2. There is a warning system in place and users will get notified when they receive a warning.

    3. Depends on the situation/wording. If it is in a insulting way or to cause trouble/create a negative atmosphere, otherwise they'll be tolerated, as long as it doesn't take overhand.

    4. It would be good if you already bring some moderating experience with you. Other than that, activity in the Forums will be a criteria, obviously the user shouldn't have any warnings. Other than that we'll also look what type of posts someone made and how they contributed to the forums.

    5. How many Mods we need? That needs to be decided yet. We also will announce a deadline soon for how long someone can apply for being Forum Moderator.

    Currently there is no reward planned for Moderators.

    I probably won't apply due to my social disability and life's busy schedule but I am open to it if needs be.

    Are you just looking for forum moderators at the moment? There's options for Discord and Game mods in there too.

    Only Forum.
    We use one form for all mod types, to have all applications collecivley in one spot. All 3 options only lead to that specific part of the form with questions regarding of the type you choose.
    And if we’re currently not looking for mods in a specific position, choosing that type simply leads to a dead end

    Good luck to everyone applying as well.
