This page covers the roles on the Goonwall website. Roles on our Discord are separate and are described there.

Roles are earned, never bought. A role brings standing: a mark on your profile, and your work in front of more people. A role never brings money. Our partner programme is separate. It pays for bringing new members to Goonwall, and never for what you make or upload.

The roles

Member

Everyone with an account. You can watch, react, comment, follow people, message your friends, build your own channels and sessions, and upload. Every upload is reviewed against our content rules before it goes live.

Contributor

You become a Contributor automatically the first time something you uploaded goes live. It shows on your profile. Deleting an upload later, or having one declined, doesn’t take it away.

Editor

A PMV creator the community recognises. You apply, and we grant it by hand. Editor sits alongside Contributor, not above it. Editors will be able to take commissions once commissions open.

Curator

Builds channels for everyone. Once the Curator opens, any member can build channels for themselves; a Curator can also publish channels to the public catalogue. We grant it to members who already build good channels. Curators don’t create competitions or games.

Goon-master

Runs live events. Once watchparties open, Goon-masters can host public parties, where other members host parties for their friends. Goon-masters host friendly Goon Games inside games that already exist. They don’t create competitions or new games.

Moderator

Paid position

Reviews uploads and reports against our published rules. Moderation is a paid position, under its own agreement. It’s paid as a monthly fee for keeping the queue clear, never per item. Moderators never review their own uploads. We’ll say here when it opens.

Staff

The small team that runs Goonwall. Each staff role sees only what its job needs: content, payments, support or audit.

Team seats

Separately from holding a role, we invite a few Curators and Goon-masters to a team seat for three months. While you hold a seat, you get the Goonwall Pass free. It’s a thank-you, not payment, and it doesn’t depend on how much you do. When the seat ends, your Pass runs to the end of its term.

Who can hold a role

You must be 18 or over, a member in good standing, and verified (you’ve passed our ID check). Roles are granted by hand while our identity check is being built; holders will complete it when it opens. You follow our Terms, our content rules and our Discord rules. You never take money, gifts or favours to feature, promote or rank anyone’s work.

It’s not a job

There are no duties, hours, quotas or targets. Do as much or as little as you like. Nobody is paid for holding a role. Moderators are paid, under their own agreement.

What a role can see

A role gets only the access it needs. Staff actions in the Counter, and every change to a member’s role, are recorded. None of the community roles (Contributor, Editor, Curator, Goon-master) can see members’ personal information. Only paid Moderators and staff can, only as their job needs it, under their own rules. Who reported something stays private. Anything involving a child’s safety is handled by the operator alone.

How a role ends

You can step back at any time, just by telling us. We can end a role for breaking our terms or rules, never for “not doing enough”. A team seat ends after its three months. Access ends with the role.

Two marks that aren’t roles

Verified
ID-checked members, once our identity check opens.
Founding
You bought a year’s Pass in its first month on sale. It’s a one-off, it’s never issued again, and it stays with you even if your Pass lapses.

Partners

Our partner programme is for editors and community leaders who bring new members to Goonwall. Partners earn a commission on Pass purchases made through their link, and never for uploads or anything they make. It has its own agreement. Holding a role never makes you a partner, and being a partner never gets you a role.

The full terms for community roles will be linked here. Goonwall is operated by Towlen LLC.
