Hello gang! It's hard to believe that summer is almost over, but here we are again with another meta post. This month we'd like to highlight our templates and Welcome team!
First and foremost, we'd like to welcome our newest mod /u/ce-walalang! Ce will be taking care of our Asia/Oceania transcribers. Make sure you say hi in Discord!
This is your semi-regular reminder to always check the rules of the parent sub before transcribing. Subs are cracking down on personal information and if you are banned because you transcribed a rule breaking post, we can't help you. Remember - our job is to make Reddit easier for people, not harder. It is worth keeping an eye out as the rules are often different in each sub, plus they change! r/BoneAppleTea's PI rules have changed recently; if in doubt, leave it out!
Did you know that we have several templates to help you format your posts? On every ToR post, you will see a list of templates. While we do have strict formatting guides, there is a bit of leeway if it makes more sense to move them around a bit. For example, if you are transcribing a meme and it makes more sense to describe the image before the text, do it! If you are trying to describe a table and can't figure out how to recreate it in markdown, just make sure you describe everything in detail. While the overall formatting must stay the same, feel free to fit it so your transcription is as understandable as possible.
We are in the process of expanding some of the templates to help people determine what their formatting should look it. If you have any suggestions of formatting you'd like to see and we don't yet have, please feel free to suggest it!
Some of the future templates will be:
Quora
Tumblr
Generic social media
Polls across social media (generic, Facebook, Reddit, etc)
Online reviews
Still have questions? Check out our tutorial.
And as always, if you need help or have any questions, we are always here! feel free to reach out to us through modmail and join our Discord for instant feedback on transcriptions and such!
