What is a Rating Advisor?
A Rating Advisor is identifiable through the Rating Advisor badge in Geometry Dash. This role can be granted only by RobTop himself. Their main task is suggesting good levels to RobTop for a rating. They also have more power when voting for Demon difficulty.
What is a Moderator?
A Moderator is identifiable through the Moderator badge in Geometry Dash. Moderators are tasked not only with sending good levels, but also moderating the in-game comment sections, whitelisting users on Newgrounds, unlocking updates for older rated levels, and some other tasks.
What is a Leaderboard Moderator?
Leaderboard Moderators manage the Leaderboards within the game. They manage the Top 1000 whitelist and can ban players from both the Global and Level Leaderboards. It is worth noting that they are not necessarily a normal Moderator too. They also have more power when voting for Demon difficulty. The list of Leaderboard Moderators is found here. If you need any support regarding these topics, refer to the Leaderboards section.
What standards do Advisors have when sending levels?
While every Advisor is trusted with their own standards when sending levels, certain factors need to be considered by all Advisors. These factors include but are not limited to: stolen designs or levels, the song being available, the level's length (in most cases, at least "Long" length is preferred), the name or the contents of the level being appropriate, and more.
Do Moderator sends have more impact than Advisor sends?
The importance of a send remains the same for any Advisor and Moderator. Both have the same weight on sends.
Can Moderators rate levels?
No, the only person who can rate levels is RobTop.
Do Advisors and Moderators have direct contact with RobTop?
Yes, Advisors and Moderators are able to contact RobTop directly. If some issue arises, RobTop can be informed through a Moderator.
Are Advisors and Moderators paid?
Advisors, Moderators, and Leaderboard Moderators are not paid; their positions are entirely voluntary.
How can I contact an Advisor or Moderator?
This is different for every Advisor and Moderator. Nowadays, most are active on Discord. Not all Advisors like to take level requests through direct messages, so try to figure out whether they have a server or a form if you are contacting them for this reason. This information may be available in their profile bio. Most Advisors also check their in-game messages occasionally. Remember to be respectful when contacting them!
How does one become an Advisor, Moderator, or Leaderboard Moderator?
RobTop is always on the lookout for active and helpful community members who can help find good levels and moderate content. If you contribute in positive ways in the community, you may get a shot at one of the positions. Current team members may also suggest good options for the roles.
