Discord is a most utilized forum for interacting with other people and sharing content over the internet in communities called Servers which can be accessible to everyone on the internet or can be private. However, the private chat option is also available for users if they want to chat privately. Discord server owners can make admin and mod to manage the servers and perform their duties efficiently.

This blog will discuss what the Discord moderators do and how to create and assign mod roles. So, let’s begin!

What do Discord Mods do?

Discord server owners assign moderator roles to the members, which play a vital role in Discord groups. The responsibilities of the mod might vary; however, the overall motive is to provide a secure environment for each member. The moderator can perform multiple operations such as:

  • Ready to help out server members.
  • Enforce rules and regulations.
  • Delete posts/messages.
  • Add, remove, kick out, or ban users.
  • Resolve issues and defend against trolls.
