Due to the current market conditions, we are requesting this top-up earlier than we expected.

Hey, I am not sure i understand the relationship between the first table (rates) and the second table (budget):  I understand it as 9 senior community managers for the total of 14k: is this correct? and if yes: how do you make this sustainable? I dont see all of these community managers being active in the channels we use, and wouldnt it make more sense to have less senior community managers and more lower level moderators to be able to structure a strategy for moderation, with times, channels distribution, etc? what is your strategy regarding this?
Hey Raul, thanks for your comment! The first table is the potential monthly reward for each individual moderator depending on his/her role/tier. The second table is the potential monthly reward for the whole group of each role. Not everyone is a Senior Ambassador yet, and this answers how they can become one or be demoted. From our top-up proposal: "Every 6 months, curators along with W3F will be able to upgrade any Community Moderator to Senior Community Moderator based on the participants’ assessments and their own evaluation of the participants. This means the curators will have to be monitoring the participants during this 6 months period. In a similar manner, they will also be able to downgrade any Senior Community Moderator to Community Moderator. Note: there is a minimum requirement of being a Community Moderator for at least 6 months to be eligible for the upgrade." So, based in that, those numbers will be only reached in the best case during that period. About the times and the channels distribution, we don't have anything like that as there has been no need for the moment. Nevertheless, this is something interesting to keep in mind for future updates.
How do you account for activity? can recognize some Ambassadors, but have never seen more than 50% of them or their comments. wondering how it works. whats the min amount of hr that needs to be worked on the channels if you want to be a community mod?
Hi Jose, Thank you for the question.
Each Moderator is expected to spend 15 hours per week to ensure coverage of all the channels and time zones (Although, I'm sure some moderators spend way more :)). These amount of hours include those spent monitoring chats, supporting users, pruning unscrupulous activities, and discussing with other mods on issues concerning the channels that are controversial or need attention.
We don't place much emphasis on using the number of comments from moderators to judge activity, because then, moderators would simply compete with each other to answer user queries, wolf-pack users, write messages when not needed, etc.
We do place a lot of emphasis on the quality of moderation, which we track meticulously on this sheet. You can check our quality assessment criteria on the first proposal
There is no roaster to objectively count the number of hours spent per week by moderators, but since the aim is to achieve 24-hour coverage, and based on past activities of moderators, 15 hr/wk is a modest (and, conservative) bet. It is the job of the curators to monitor the servers too, and assist the head in monitoring moderator activity. If we feel someone is not being as active as needed, we will have to talk to the head.
As stated in the original proposal, if at any time we think someone is not being as active as needed, the head Ambassador will have to engage the moderator and sort issues out. Inactivities are accompanied by warnings, and could ultimately lead to dismissal from the team.
We hope this answered your question. The team is here, in case you need further clarification. Thanks! :)
