To get information about up-to date rules, please go to Utopian Rules page and read.
- Go to Review page in Utopian.
- Click the categories you want to review.
- Pick the first unhandled post. (We encourage mods to review old posts first.)
Before reading and reviewing the post, add the contribution link to #i-am-on-it channel in our Discord Server.
Important: That step is required for us to prevent race condition between moderators, reviewing the same contribution. Also, before starting review on a contribution, have a look to that channel if some other moderator working on it or not.
There are a small set of buttons for moderator in every post.
You should do that if the contribution directly violates the rules and there is no room for any improvement about the content.
Examples:
- Fishing stories
- Cooking recipes
- Any contribution featuring closed source projects
Make sure to put a comment explaning why their contribution is not accepted.
We use that button if contribution is not good enough to get an instant approval. However, if the contribution has a potential after changes and improvements from author, then we set the contribution to pending also inform the author about what can be done about the contribution.
Example
Note: After pending the review, make sure you edit your entry on #i-am-on-it channel in our Discord. Edit the entry includes the contribution, add a "pending" word to the beginning.
Note: Authors have 48 hours to fix/improve their posts. If they don't do anything in 48 hours, you can hide the contribution.
If the contribution meets the criterias for an approval, just click that button. After the approval, find your entry in #i-am-on-it channel and remove it.
This channel should be clear and only store the contributions we're dealing actively.
