BAR is growing nicely, but with that growth come challenges such as an increasing volume of moderation reports, especially ones about in-game actions - you know, of the “someone d-gunning an ally” variety. If you’ve been playing a lot, you’ve probably experienced something like that… although I’d like to think that if we’re doing our job right, those run-ins have been a lot less frequent than they would otherwise have been!

For every such report, we usually need someone to:

1. find and watch the replay
2. take a few screenshots of critical moments
3. provide a quick summary of what happened
4. answer any follow-up questions moderators may have before swinging the hammer

That’s where you come in! If you’d like to help us keep BAR a sane place and you’d be up for watching a few replays in a usual week, we’d like you to join the Overwatch team.

Remember that it’s a marathon, not a sprint! We explicitly want to prevent having one person carrying the team on their gigachad shoulders for a week, then burning out! Thus, we’re hoping to add about six to ten people in this round of recruitment, the largest to date. At the same time if for any period of time you get too busy to contribute, that’s perfectly fine, real life always takes priority over volunteering. That’s why we’re planning to spread out the workload a bit more.

Sign up on the official Discord, #looking-for-volunteers -> Overwatch team. Remember to leave your in-game nickname!

Disclaimer: we reserve the right to pick and choose who we work with. People who usually give us more work on the team will have a lower priority. ;)
