A Look at Pledgecamp User-Moderators System

It’s no news that the best way to guard a city is to hire the inhabitants with vast knowledge of the nooks and crannies of such city. This is the psychology pledgecamp is deploying to police the community of users who would be contributing to the platform.

Since users would be in charge of curations, listing and outcomes of campaigns, a lot is expected from such crowd to ensure full participation, responsiveness, effectiveness and transparency. These makes moderation in such a setting imperative, to checkmate unruly behaviors and sanction/remove users whose actions are unhealthy to the system.

A high level of dedication and moral standards are required from these moderators, also before they take. Users and moderators would therefore be part of the policing.

Users or moderators spots any violation of rules. in the community and flags such behavior. A jury of twelve moderators are randomly assigned to investigate the case, the identity of these moderators would be kept anonymous to avoid collusion and corruption, a decision would be take after investigation, such decisions would have to pass through a consensus of at least seven of the jury moderators.

Moderators are also not exempted from this process, since a moderator who breaks the terms and conditions of Pledgecamp can also be flagged by other moderators and would face disciplinary measures if found wanting.

Moderators and users are in turn rewarded for keeping the community active and healthy, these reward would come from listing fees paid in PLG token. This is a very smart way of policing and reward for a healthy growth of a community based on B.F. Skineer principle of reward and punishment.
