Ankama Staff and Volunteers

As a company Ankama employs a range of people for various purposes in Dofus. Admins are people that work at Ankama's headquarters in France. These people either work as Content and Community Managers (CCMs), as translators, or as developers. CCMs assign volunteers from their respective communities to be moderators or game masters (GMs). Moderators are assigned to maintain order within the game and forums, while GMs are in charge of holding events for their communities. All of these people have different powers assigned to them depending on their position.

In order to be sure that the people that say they have a special rank, you can type : /whois Name and you will get a message with the account name and for those who have a rank there will be a colored part with their rank.

See here for more information about Moderators and how to contact them.

Volunteers

Game Masters (GMs)

Not to be confused with Moderators, GMs run events and handle roleplay aspects rather than rule-enforcing. To this end they have a wider variety of powers than moderators (though they can also perform moderator functions if a player is disrupting events).

When met in-game, they will quite frequently be playing a character, and will only answer questions or reply to statements as that character.

A /whois of their in-game names will reveal a white "GM" indicator.

This list is of English-speaking Gamemasters. There are also many GMs from different communities not on this list.

Moderators

Moderators (or Mods for short) handle forum and in-game issues related to the rules. On the forums, their powers include editing posts, closing topics, moving topics, and deleting posts or topics. In-game moderators' abilities include muting (individuals or entire maps), teleporting themselves and others around, kicking, and short-term banning of players. (Long-term bans are handled by Admins, above).

They can be recognized in-game by their lion skins. A /whois of their in-game account will be marked with a red "Modo" label.

These are English-language Moderators. There are many more moderators on the other communities' servers and forums.
