What drew my attention more, since I’m focused on how to protect ourselves from abuse, was the following CM’s requirements:
" A clean record. No violations within the past 6 months.
- As Channel Managers are in leadership positions, we expect anyone who holds this title to be a role model for the community, inspiring others with their talent and positive behavior.
- Any abuse or violation of our Contributor or Discussions guidelines will automatically eliminate an applicant from consideration and may negatively affect their future chances of holding this position."
How can be proven a candidate for CM had an abusive behavior when, for instance, someone is removed from a team, even though the volunteer abided by the rules and did a good job, but he/she didn’t received a message about that fact, couldn’t know about the reasons for the removal and you got to never to receive that message as well? Yes, all of these should be saved on a database so you could directly look into it if necessary.
Nobody can be removed or replaced just because. That’s an abuse that usually leaves no strong evidence.
And what about when a volunteer sends a PM to have a Mod. or other element removed from X team even though the targetted volunteer is doing very well? Isn’t it abuse as well? Is a person like this a good role model for our comunnity?
To avoid such behavior to keep on happening, Viki must provide a tool (or more) to have all processes clear while providing true evidence at the same time.
On this topic you have suggestions from volunteers to avoid abuse and build a better Viki for each and everyone of us: Viki's Volunteers Experience Improvement Suggestions
Also, do not forget this other very important topic stating the fact abuse through flagging post is happening indeed: Abuse of forum functions
Only when you have evidence for every process and absolutely clear consistent rules you can achieve what we all want in here: a better Viki and a happier volunteering time for all of us, from A to Z.
Thank you a Lot for reading me and please consider all of these.
Have a very lovely weekend! ^^
