Doorkeeper Guidelines & Information

Kate August 10th, 2018

Thanks to all of you who suggested making this thread for important rules and guidelines for Doorkeepers.

For information on requirements and how to apply for Doorkeeper, click here.

A list of current doorkeepers.

Doorkeeper Do's and Don't's

DO: Make sure that if you open a room, you close it when you are finished or arrange for another Doorkeeper to close the room.

DON'T: Open a room that you do not have access to. It's important to be able to access the rooms you are opening to make sure they are being used properly or step in if a conflict should arise.

- Teens: Please only open up teen rooms

- Never open up an admin room unless you have specific permission to do so

- The exception to this rule is the Training Room. You may open up the Training Room if the leader of the training being held is not a Doorkeeper.

DO: Make sure you only open rooms that are for scheduled discussions, sessions, open chats or approved pop-ups.

DO: Use the Free Hugs rooms! As a Doorkeeper, you are welcome to open up these rooms for Free Hug Sessions as long as you are available to stay for the duration of the session and close the room when you are finished. Please keep Free Hug Sessions to 15 or 30 minutes only.

DON'T: Abuse your Doorkeeper power by opening multiple rooms at once and creating confusion and chaos. If this happens, all Doorkeeper badges will be cleared and everyone will be asked to reapply.

Go forth and use your Doorkeeper powers for good. heart
