Rotational Staff is a system found in a few discord servers in which an even number of members switch places for moderation every 1-2 weeks depending on the rules of the server. A moderator will get his/her role for a certain amount of time before the administrator switches the power with the person next in line. The method is to have an even amount of people to which for every one moderator there will be one more rotational staff to take his/her place after their time is up.
This system was created to maximize experience and let as many people as possible try out being moderator without having too many moderators at once. It also allows new members and new people to try it out rather than having the same mod team every time.

Administrator: "Alright, it's been 2 weeks, time to switch places"
Rotational Staff: "Alright here we go!"
Moderators: "Have fun, being moderator for now"
Rotational Staff: "You'll get it back in 2 weeks, don't worry we won't mess things up and undo what you guys did"
Moderators: "Hmm, maybe it should be 1 week so we can switch more often and have more fun, some of us were busy for most of the week so we think it would be best if we lowered it to 1 week so there would be more chances for us all to have a go at being moderator"
Administrator: "Well, let's hold a general staff vote to see if people agree with it being lowered"
Vote:
• 5/15 decide to keep it at 2 weeks
• 10/15 decide to lower it to 1 week
Administrator: "Alright, it has been decided! It will be lowered to 1 week until switching"
