[FAQ-MOD] Claiming tutorial for moderators

Post by Zephyr »

Moderator stuff

This should be pretty straightforward. All moderator actions are done with buttons found in the same place as 'Claim' button in Unclaimed forums. That is, the upper right corner when viewing a thread.

I'll go through each forum, describe what buttons are available there and what they do. Every time you change a claim's status, it is automatically moved to another forum. The only exception is Reviewing - Final, which does not move the thread anywhere.

In all cases, you must leave a message.

Unclaimed

There's two buttons here. The other is "Claim", which was already gone through in the previous post, and the other one is "Lock". It changes the claim's status to NA.

Pending

You can either revoke a claim or grant it.

Claimed

You can submit the claim for reviewing or revoke it.

Reviewing

So many buttons! You can send the claim back, approve the claim, send it to final reviewing (which only changes the claim's status but not the forum) or revoke it. When you send a claim back, you must leave a PM to the user.

Also, the thread is moved back to Claimed forums, but the posts made during reviewing are hidden from others than reviewers and moderators.

Reviewing - Final

The same as Reviewing, but now you can't send the claim for final reviewing.

Finished

Only revoke is available here. The claim is practically finished at this point, so no additional control should ever be required.

Not available

Only one button here, Unlock. When you click on it, the claim's status is changed from NA to Unclaimed.
