Raft and Channel Leaders

Overview

It is easy to create a raft, but the real fun comes from building a community. Rafts can be created by anybody on Raftr. We provide tools to customize, build, and manage your community; this is a big responsibility, but it is very rewarding. It is important to keep your raft vibrant and attract broad membership; we delete rafts that do not achieve this to free up their names for others that wish to take on this responsibility.

As creator of the raft, you are designated as the raft’s leader (RL) and this comes with various rights and responsibilities. You get to select co-leader(s) and curators. Together a raft’s leader, co-leader(s), and curator(s) are its “raft admin.”

Why Set Raft Administrator Levels

• Admins can help moderate content throughout the raft
• Admins control and adjust raft settings and have advanced content control features
• Some access levels allows administrators to release members who abuse the raft rules

Raft Leader Roles

Leader

A leader has the ability to update the name, icon, teaser/tagline, description, rules, welcome message, cover image, pin posts, promote, demote and release any member if necessary.

Co-Leader

A co-leader has the ability to pin posts, promote the curator or co-leader, demote ranks, and release any member if necessary, except the raft Leader.

Curator

A curator has the ability to pin posts, promote to Curator rank, demote from Curator rank, and release any member except Leader or Co-Leader

Channel Leader Roles

Similarly, channel leaders and co-leaders have access to tools designed to help managed their channels. Please note: A user DOES NOT need to be a raft leader or co-leader in order to be granted leadership roles within the channel.
