Supporting moderators on read.cash, a must read.

It saddens me to see how most Communities on the read.cash platform has turned into, with little or no moderating at all. Some of the Communities have been totally abandoned and non functional anymore, while others are left without any moderators to approve submission in there. Some of the Communities admin has gone AWOL leaving members frustrated in getting their articles approved into the Communities. Reason I believe for this outcome, is the total neglect moderators have been subjected to on the read.cash platform. No one remembers that there is anything called moderator anymore, all we care about is to submit our articles without bordering about the time and stress it to for approving it. I believe moderators deserve some kind of regards on the read.cash platform, and this essentially rest on the hands of each community members.

I have had the privilege of being a co-moderators on the largest community on this platform before I took a break from here last time. It amazed me to see how the community has turned into recently, with moderation in queue of over a month waiting with no one to attend to them. If the moderators have been getting any kind of support I don't think it will be as it is now.

How can moderators be supported

Obviously, the system doesn't have any way of supporting moderators at the moment, the read.cash team has tried some methods in the past and they all failed. Now it rest on the members of the various Communities to find a way to support and encourage their moderators. Though the read.cash team can still come up with something as may be suggested hereto.

Suggestive ways to support moderators.

1. Members of each community to follow their moderator.

This may sound odd but I believe is the easiest way we can support our various community moderators here on read.cash. A moderator ought to have a good following to support his work on read.cash as an author. Remember moderators still write like everyone here. If a moderator have a large support from Community members for his work as an author, that will be a good compensation for his work as a moderator. I know someone will ask, how can members know their Community moderators, also wouldn't that be compromise?. I will start by saying there is nothing compromising in a member knowing their Community moderators. Already you know them, you are even following some right now. To find your community moderators is not difficult. On your community page you will see a box for moderators, there you can find them and follow them. Like this we can support our moderators without taking anything from our wallet.

2. There should be moderator's honor and award.

This is for the read.cash team. Moderators deserve some honor for their work, a good moderator should be recognized and honored openly on this platform with an award in moderating. Such an award should have value attached to it, to make it desirable and enticing. It could even have a monetary prize attached to it to make it convertible. With this kind of award and honor in sight, moderators will be more deligent in doing their duty. This idea is similar to what they do in Uptrend, moderators are given honorable status. This are only suggestions anyway, and I don't know if it will even get to be noticed since @Read.Cash is nolonger with us here.

That's not a community. anyway, a community where no one moderate could not be regarded as one, there anything goes and no one check for plagiarism and low quality articles.

I don't know if the moderator should have a reward. I said this before. The plus of moderating is it's an easy way to read all kinds of content and engage with others.

I do find it sad if communities are abandoned. Perhaps it is a good idea if the Admin leaves or wants to leave he/she tries to find two others for this job. As an admin, there's no need to leave even if you do not moderate yourself.

To those who wait to be accepted. I suggest you submit to a different community. There are literally hundreds of and there is no need to submit to an abandoned one. By the way, a community is abandoned already if there's no new submission for one week but as soon as there is a new one approved it's off the list.

Moderators deserve a reward, that's the practice in similar platforms. Moderators deserve recognition for doing a good job, Community can support their moderator in an easy way by following. So as an author each moderator would have a good followers for his or her articles. You know what that means having a good number of following on your article. A moderator's award would be a good idea if implemented.

For those who have their articles on queue without no one to approve them, it is certain that they want the article in that Community. For example, the read.cash community has the largest number of members mostly newbies, most articles posted there by these newbies can not be accepted into any other Community because they are mostly about enquiry on how read.cash work. And most believe it is in that Community they will get the response they needed.

This article is actually speaking for me because I have most of my articles not approved as at now.

As I wrote on the article, most moderators nolonger come online here as before and since they themselves have no time to write here it will be hard for them to come here just for the sake of approving submission. If there is some sort of reward in any way they could still breeze in to do that time and time.

Then why do you not choose a different community?

I have noticed also because some of my articles still for approval, it's almost a month. Why, what happens? Too many changes here at readcash and even readcash are no longer actively posting his article too. So sad..

You can easily submit to a different community. I wonder why you do not take action yourself. If your post can not be moderated within 2-3 days at most there's something wrong.

How about if the article doesn't fit into other Community what would she do? Another thing about this issue is that most users don't know how to remove article from a community after submission, and it also depends on the type of information on the article
