The One About Training New Moderators


So, we never did get any kind of training documentation started. I have two new volunteers who would love to help mod videos – how shall we get them started?

Suggested process:

  1. Read through the Submission Guidelines.
  2. Read through this P2 for context and history. It’s not that long. 🙂
  3. Tag a video to “claim” it for review.
  4. Watch the video.
  5. Post any questions to this site.
  6. If you’re certain it meets our standards for accuracy and video/audio quality, post to this site that you think it should be published.

For your first 3 videos, your trainer will review the video too, to make sure you haven’t missed anything. After that, you’ll be able to schedule videos for publication independently.

IMPORTANT: We only schedule 3-5 videos for publication per day. This is to avoid spamming all the people who are subscribed to WordPress.tv. Please don’t publish a whole slew of videos at a time, because sadness.

ALSO IMPORTANT: This blog is public, though it does discourage search engines. If a question comes up with a video that might be sensitive, we try to be discreet with people’s names.

Please suggest changes/additions/deletions. 🙂
