Why do we need a moderator?
TibiaQA is meant to be moderated by the community. Users can perform a variety of moderation tasks, once they reach a certain number of reputation points. Since TibiaQA is still relatively new, there aren't many users that have enough reputation points and therefore access to all the moderation tools yet.
Moderators also help resolve edge cases and review actions taken by the community. If a post was accepted/rejected, but it shouldn't be, moderators can revert that action. Finally, moderators can also single handedly act on flagged posts.
What are moderator tasks on TibiaQA?
Most of them are explained above. Key tasks include frequent reviews of a moderation and flagged posts queue, as well as review of moderation decisions taken by the community. Moderators are also expected to ensure the questions and answers are of good quality and edit or retag them as necessary. We also expect them to report any bugs and suggest improvements. Finally, moderators are expected to help promote the site.
What are the requirements?
The minimum requirements are:
- Verified Human badge
- Visitor badge
- Avid Voter badge
- Avid Reader badge
- Great English skill
- At least 300 reputation points
