Become a Moderator

For Improveo to work well, Topic Moderators, play a key role.  They act as:

• Agenda-setters  

If an important question is not listed, moderators add it to their topic.   

• Arbiters 

Moderators decide which questions are responded by an answer describing a PROVEN fact or which answers represent one specific type of DISCUSSED opinion. Moderators divide Questions in three categories: CAUSES , CURRENT STATUS, SOLUTIONS.

This classification helps other users to filter and use Improveo. All choices made by Moderators can be constantly contested.  

• Guardians of non-partisanship

Moderators can’t delete uncomfortable issues or answers they disagree with. When hiding an answer, they should confirm that it is off-topic or vulgar, in which case it nevertheless remains on Improveo.

• Discussion hosts

Moderators don’t come up with new answers - Moderators challenge other to improve their answers.  

Moderators can summarize all the answers mentioned in the discussion.

• Topic developers

Moderators can proactively scout and invite interesting debaters and look for topic partners interested in promoting transparency and open-mindedness.  

REAL BENEFITS

• Best insight into a topic and a chance to become a recognized expert

• Opportunity to interact and meet other people influencing your Topic

• Support and endorsement by Improveo (training, business cards)

• Success fee from topic sponsorship

Being a moderator is a great opportunity for people with desire to learn about the world and make a difference.  In contrast to Wikipedia, for example, moderators don't write new content, but steer a topic towards the best experience of the contributors. By becoming a moderator, you may receive public recognition and, depending on topic development, also remuneration.   

OTHER USERS CONTROL MODERATORS

• Moderators can’t delete any information, only hide it, so other users can easily question moderators’ judgement.

• Users can report abuse of the Code of Ethics. Moderators are accountable and must explain their behaviour.  If a moderator breaks the code three times, they are removed. The same can happen to a user who makes groundless reports of abuse.

TIME REQUIREMENTS

• At present, even the most active topics require a time investment of approximately one hour per week in order to be read through and curated accordingly.

• If there’s little discussion, can concentrate on Topic development.

• If users become very active on your topic, the task can be shared by several moderators.
