Moderator Guidelines 📜

The following guidelines are intended to help moderators effectively manage and foster a positive environment within our community. Please adhere to these principles to ensure a smooth and respectful interaction among all members.

Content Creation Guidelines

1. Encourage Third-Person Writing: Encourage contributors to write or edit pages in the third person for a more professional and unbiased presentation.
2. Highlight Connection to CopperCab: Ensure that pages lead with information relating to the subject's involvement or interaction with CopperCab, as the wiki is centered around this figure.
3. Promote Consistent Formatting: Guide contributors to use a consistent format, especially in how they introduce their connection to CopperCab, to maintain a uniform look across the wiki.
4. Monitor Content Quality: Regularly review new and edited pages to ensure they meet the community standards of quality and relevance.

2. Stay Informed: Regularly update yourself on community rules, guidelines, and any changes to ensure consistent moderation.

Mod Jobs

1. Curation: Before approving edits use your common sense to help determine whether or not those edits are being made in good faith, as oppose to griefing (trolling) of the Copperverse wiki.
