FamilySearch Wiki:The Purpose of Site Moderation: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:50, 7 September 2008

Moderation builds the right atmosphere.

Community sites grow as they cultivate an atmosphere of cooperation, brotherhood, and community, and as the community builds a strong feeling that contributors’ work is appreciated.

Moderators direct the improvement of content.

Active communities shepherd the creation of quality content. Moderators serve several such functions:

Review, delete, edit or showcase content
Promote the creation of content as per customer needs
Vet and approve the creation of new content types
Disambiguate content titles to improve search results (“Mercury” is a planet, element, auto brand, record label, and Roman God.)

Moderators drive improvements in behavior.

Vet, approve, interpret, and clarify policies.
Solve disputes regarding content creation and site management.
Educate users in appropriate community behavior.
Grant or suspend roles and user privileges.
Govern the site in languages that FCHD doesn’t cover.

Moderators grow the community.

They promote the site to potential users and recruit other moderators as the site grows.
