This job entails a certain amount of responsibility and can be quite lucrative. This article will discuss the role of a moderator and its salary. You&#8217;ll also learn about the requirements for being a moderator on Facebook. You might want to take a look at Miguel&#8217;s profile to get a better idea of the job.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miguel_is_a_moderator_on_facebook\"><\/span>Miguel is a moderator on facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you ask the average Facebook employee why he&#8217;s a moderator, he will say that he makes over 1,500 decisions a week. Facebook then randomly chooses 50 to 60 of these posts to audit. A quality assurance worker makes around $1 per hour more than Miguel. The quality assurance worker audits a subset of the moderator&#8217;s decisions and generates an accuracy score. As a moderator, you&#8217;ll struggle to hit the target for accuracy. But it&#8217;s not impossible, even for the most skilled Facebook employee.<\/p>\n<p>While the company employs a small number of full-time employees, it relies heavily on contract labor. Facebook vp of operations, Ellen Silver, explains in a blog post that the company relies on contract labor because it can scale globally. In fact, Facebook&#8217;s moderators evaluate posts in 50 languages across 20 sites. In addition, these employees are responsible for ensuring that content isn&#8217;t offensive or inappropriate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Job_duties_of_a_moderator\"><\/span>Job duties of a moderator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have the right knowledge and mindset to moderate a Facebook group, you could become a moderator. You will need to learn how to manage a community, including what constitutes a disruption, what behavior is acceptable, and what behaviors are unacceptable. Once you&#8217;ve been selected, your community will need some adjusting time. Then, you will need to create guidelines for your group&#8217;s members. You&#8217;ll also need to be passionate about the community and your role as a moderator is important.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to maintaining the community, you will be responsible for ensuring that there are no violations of any copyrights, trademarks, or personal rights. Facebook also requires moderators to remove posts, comments, and advertisements that are deemed inappropriate. You&#8217;ll also have to take care of the community&#8217;s safety by not allowing users to post in your name, distribute admin roles, or create advertisements.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salary_of_a_moderator_on_facebook\"><\/span>Salary of a moderator on facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although moderators are unseen and exposed to a variety of disturbing content, their work is essential to the functioning of the social media platform. Last year, a group of Facebook moderators wrote to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking for more compensation and better treatment. These moderators are also compensated for post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues. The salaries for moderators vary widely based on experience and location.<\/p>\n<p>The salary of a content moderation professional at Facebook is $240,000 per year. However, the job is not without its challenges. Some content moderators have spoken about the low pay and challenging working conditions, with some breaking down under the pressure of their job duties. This is a job that can have mental health implications, as recent reports have revealed. Some Facebook employees have spoken of enduring physical and mental health problems as a result of this job.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_a_moderator_on_facebook\"><\/span>Requirements for a moderator on facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to become a Facebook moderator, you&#8217;ll first have to meet the requirements. While Facebook does hire full-time employees, they also rely heavily on contract labor. Facebook Vice President of Operations Ellen Silver said last year that Facebook uses contractors to scale its operations around the world. By the end of 2018, the company had 30,000 employees working in safety and security, with about half of them moderating posts.<\/p>\n<p>While it can be challenging to find the right candidates for moderating a group, Facebook is working to make it easier. Group administrators can start using its suggested moderator tool to identify key members of a group who can take on the role. Facebook will start with a small number of suggested moderators, and as groups grow, it will expand. You can sign up for suggested moderator program if you have a Facebook account and have access to group profiles.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"537\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cHGbWn6iwHw\" height=\"300\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is a Moderator on Facebook?
