Moderators are immensely important to Gynopedia -- and, without moderation, Gynopedia could not exist. As you may know, Gynopedia is a free wiki. We receive contributions from everyday people, many of whom have wonderful information to include. However, some of this information may be awkwardly phrased, outdated, not properly cited, or not fully accurate. That’s where moderators come in. Other times, we receive contributions from spammers, bots, or other nuisances. That’s also where moderators come in. Moderation is the crucial heart of this site. | ''Moderators are immensely important to Gynopedia -- and, without moderation, Gynopedia could not exist. As you may know, Gynopedia is a free wiki.

Now, as a moderator, you have A LOT more privileges than a basic contributor. This means that there’s a great deal of trust involved, so you'll need to first go through a basic screening process before we grant you moderator privileges. As an FYI, this is just to be on the safe side, since Gynopedia deals with some sensitive subject matter. We definitely won’t interrogate you -- just ask some questions to confirm that you’re genuinely interested in moderation (rather than spamming, trolling or wreaking havoc on the website), ask why you're interested in the project and what you hope to get out of it, and confirm that you're a collaborative problem-solver. | Now, as a moderator, you have A LOT more privileges than a basic contributor.
