dedicated guide.
Table of Contents
Overview
This page will contain all information on how to apply for the role of Content Curator, and how to perform the various tasks required for the job.
Hiring Process
First, open Pioneer, and navigate to the Working groups sidebar. Here you will find an overview of the current Content Curators, and the Content Lead. In the Opportunities tab, you can get an overview of future, current and previous openings, along with terms, settings, status, and history (if applicable). The terms and settings include the following parameters to consider:
Max active applicants- The maximum number of active applicants for an openingMax review period length- The maximum length (in blocks) of the review periodApplication staking policy- This stake applies for the application only- A fixed or minimum stake for the application
- The length (in blocks) from an application has been resolved until the stake is returned
Role staking policy- This stake applies for the role itself, and successful applicants will have these funds locked while being in the role- A fixed or minimum stake for the role
- The length (in blocks) from an unsuccessful application has been resolved, or a successful applicant has quit or gotten fired, until the stake is returned
Reward policy- The rewards (inX [JOY]/N [blocks]) for successful applicants
Applying for a Role
In order to be able to successfully apply for a role as a Content Curator, you have to register a membership, which requires tokens. It should also be expected that there will be staking requirements, which will require more tokens. The exact terms should be clear from the listing.
You will be able to complete the application process as long as you have generated a keypair, but your application transaction will be discarded by the runtime for a variety of reasons:
- If you are not a member.
- If you attempt to apply twice with the same
MemberId. - If you attempt to apply with insufficient stake.
- If you try to stake more tokens than you can (note the application transaction costs 1 JOY)
- If you apply for a role with a maximum number of slots, with fixed or no stake requirements, and the maximum application slots have been reached.
- If you try to apply manually through the
Extrinsicssidebar, you can fail for a variety of other reasons.
Accepting applications
Only openings in the "Accepting applications" stage can be applied for. Assuming there is one or more openings in this stage that is of interest (and you have sufficient tokens) you can apply for the role. Click the green APPLY NOW button inside the Opening box, and follow the staking instructions and write the requested information.
After you have completed this, you will be sent to a confirmation page, where you can submit the application. Once you click Make transaction and submit application, a new key will be generated for you. This will be the controller key for the role, which you will need to use for all curation transactions if you are hired. It will by default not have a password, and be named <TITLE OF JOB OPENING> ROLE KEY. You can rename, set a password, and download a backup .json file of this key in the My Keys sidebar.
Track the status of your application
Once your application is submitted, you can check the status of your application by selecting this key, and navigate to the My roles tab under the Working groups sidebar.
Withdraw or change your application
While the opening is in the "Accepting applications", you can withdraw your application. As you can not apply twice with the same membership key, the only way to change your application, either to add more stake or update the application text, you need to withdraw your application first. This can be done by selecting the generated role key, navigate to the My roles tab under the Working groups sidebar, and clicking the Cancel and withdraw stake button.
Applications in review
Once the Content Curator Lead is satisfied with the quality/quantity of the applications, the Applications in review stage will begin. In this stage, applicants can no longer withdraw their application. The Content Curator Lead can do a final review of the applicants, and will make a decision on how many and whom, if any, to hire for the role. As there is a Max review period length, inaction will default to no hires, and both the "Role stake" and "Application stake" will be returned in due time.
Track the status of your application
As in the Accepting applications stage, you can track the status of your application by selecting the role key, and navigate to the My roles tab under the Working groups sidebar.
Hiring complete
Assuming the Content Curator Lead decides to hire one or more applicants, a transaction that hires a set of applicants and sets the Reward policy will be made. Successful applicants will appear in the Workings groups tab with their membership handle, their "Role stake" and, as time goes, the tokens earned for the job.
Once either the above happens, the lead chooses to terminate the opening without hiring anyone, or the Max review period length expires, the opening will go to the Hiring complete stage.
As in the previous stages, regardless if your application was successful or not, you can check the status of your application by selecting the role key, and navigate to the My roles tab under the Working groups sidebar.
If your application was successful, you will now be able to curate content on the Joystream platform.
Working as a curator
The main job for curators is to regularly check the content directory and channels, and checking that rules and guidelines are being followed.
Curation Policy
Due to the large influx of users, and incentives for video curation, we need a formal workflow for the Content Curators, and a curation policy. We now have a Curation Policy, approved by the Council.
The exact intervals and delegation procedure should be agreed upon by the Council and the Lead, and the Lead and the Curators respectively.
The "Regular Checks", in lack of a better term, are critical. Although discussions can be had around the exact format, something very close to this is required.
The "Council Reports" are a lot more comprehensive and challenging. Unlike the "Regular Checks", these are primarily meant for the Council, and the format and scope here may be reduced somewhat.
Regular Checks
At some defined (minimum) frequency, the Curator reviews all new videos and channels uploaded.
To avoid everyone stepping on each other’s toes, the Lead should consider splitting the workload between the team, e.g. by day/time and if required, also by language, category, etc.
Each review of this kind should be reported in a designated thread on the Forum, for both the Council and Channel Owners on the Forum.
