read this topicContinuing the discussion from New here. Please help me:

I decided to go ahead and write on here even though scircus has given an explanation. Some additional info might be useful. My answer is from an English moderators perspective.

-Manager: The boss of the channel. Submits a channel request to viki and if channel is approved, manages it.Everybody on the team relies on the channel manager to make important decisions and in such decisions the CM is usually the one that has the LAST say.Also,the manager is the only one that can add the language moderators. Additionally, the channel manager can do the work of the other team mates since their role is a complex one.

-English moderators:( my answer for this role would be long since this role is specific to me)

I usually think of the English moderators as the channel managers assistants because they work closely with the manager to keep the channel running smoothly.
Roles:, 
**-**Recruits other team members like segmenters, subbers,page designers and other language moderators. 
**-**Notifies the segmenters to come segment a video when new episodes are uploaded to the channel. 
-Notifies the Subtitlers to come subtitle the episode once the video is completely segmented. -Monitors for abusers on the channel(The English mod would send pms to abusers telling them to stop the mess they are creating on the channel.) -Thanks team mates for the work they do on the channel. -Answers to pms from newbie recruits,viewers and other team mates. -Orients newbie recruits on their duties. For example, for a newbie subber, I usually would send subbing guidelines and other helpful subbing information so that the new subber can subtitle on the channel effectively. -An English moderator who is good in segmenting can help edit segments when they are messy.( I usually do NOT edit segments unless the segmenter is new and created segments that were hard for the subbers to work with) - Answers viewers question on each episode comment section. 

Note: Please do not think that the English mods are the ones doing all the work. The channel manager actually does more work than them and the English mods gets help from other team mates . -SEGMENTERS:Creates subtitle boxes for the subbers. The segmenters are important because without the segmenters, there would be no place for the subbers to add subtitles.On some channels there are QC/CHIEF SEGMENTERS:This segmenter is usually very good in segmenting so they are responsible for checking the work of the other segmenters and make corrections to segment errors. -**SUBTITLERS:**Adds subtitles to the video. They are also pretty important to the team because without them, how are we to understand the various dramas that are in a different language from ours? -EDITORS: When subtitlers are done subbing,the editors come in and proof read their work.They make corrections by checking for punctuation,spelling and such. The CHIEF EDITOR is usually the one who releases each episode to other language teams. OTHER LANGUAGE MODERATORS: They usually subtitle the video in their own language.They are the team leaders because they are responsible for organizing the subtitling work among their team mates. 
NOTE: Other language teams would only start subtitling when English subs is subtitled and edited @ a 100%

~~WELL I guess this sums it all up. Goodluck to you~~
