Peacekeepers

The Peacekeepers was an organization of Volunteer AW Citizens that acted as informative helpers and security in Active Worlds worlds. The organization was founded by Razzle. If needed, they were summoned through their website, http://www.peacekeeper.net/ . The Peacekeepers were officially disbanded by the Core Team on July 10, 2021, citing concerns about being treated respectfully by AWI and the low levels of user activity in the public universe.

Overview

The Peacekeepers were a voluntary group of citizens that served as the public universe's content moderation team. Their website stated, "We assist users in disputes and try to prevent harassment of any user by others regardless of the form, be it verbal abuse or harassment, racism or vandalism".

Responsibilities

The formal moderation responsibilities of the peacekeepers were guided by the Content Guidelines and Conduct Guidelines.

The Peacekeepers were responsible for patrolling the following worlds:

• AW
• Atlantis
• AWBingo
• AWDebate
• AWGate
• AWMall

• Yellow

In addition, Peacekeepers could also be called into these worlds if necessary:

Organizational Structure and Membership

Core Team

The Core Team oversaw the Peacekeeper organization. These were the members of the team active at the time the organization disbanded:

• PK 14: Tomas
• PK 20: GolderUK
• PK 27: Bassa
• PK 37: Garnet
• PK 40: Karten
• PK 64: Lensman

Peacekeeper Academy

The Peacekeeper Academy trained and instructed Peacekeepers and Peacekeeper initiates. They created a six-week program that taught incident documentation, effective chat software use, user interaction, and simulations of vandalism and harassment. These were the current instructors at the time the organization disbanded:

• PK 14: Tomas
• PK 20: GolderUK
• PK 32: MeL
• PK 37: Garnet
• PK 41: Lookin4BN
• PK 47: NurseMom

Special Response Team

The Special Response Team handled the hardest cases that came before the Peacekeepers, including major harassment, vandalism of privately owned worlds, and the hacking of citizen accounts. They also helped world owners with technical and security issues. No members were assigned to the Special Response Team when the organization was disbanded.

Garbage Elimination Team

The Garbage Elimination Team, or GET, was a special unit of peacekeepers that dealt with the removal of garbage in Public Building Worlds. They were very selective about what qualified as garbage. In addition, the GET team did not reveal their identities to avoid unnecessary harassment to themselves. In order to report sites that need to be cleared, an online form was provided by the Peacekeepers.

In later years, prior to the disbanding of the larger Peacekeeper organization, AWI formally took over garbage elimination duties.

Teams

Peacekeepers were assigned teams and placed under the supervision of a team leader. These are the members of the Red and Blue teams at the time the organization disbanded:

Red Team

• PK 41: Lookin4BN (Team Leader)
• PK 30: Vanity
• PK 54: KeithB

Blue Team

• PK 32: MeL (Team Leader)
• PK 47: NurseMom
• PK 71: Sailorman
