# Community Moderation

The self-paced community exists to support independent learners studying Bitcoin together.

The self-paced pathway uses light-touch moderation to keep discussions constructive and supportive.

Moderators are not instructors and not evaluators. Your role is simply to help maintain a healthy learning environment.

***

### Moderator Responsibilities

Moderators may:

* Welcome new learners
* Encourage thoughtful discussion
* Help redirect technical questions
* Share helpful documentation or resources
* Encourage learners to troubleshoot problems themselves

***

### What Moderators Do Not Do

Moderators do not:

* Grade exercises or submissions
* Track learner progress
* Provide structured teaching
* Lead scheduled study sessions

The pathway remains fully self-directed.

***

### Office Hours and Open Sessions

From time to time, Builders may host:

* Informal troubleshooting sessions
* Technical Q\&A discussions
* Community meetups

Participation is optional and does not affect pathway completion.
