• Website: writer recruitment and editorial process

Summary

The following resolution by Radiojoe was passed: The outreach committee proposes a multileveled system of editing articles submitted to the USPP website (https://uspirates.org/). In this system, three parties shall participate, 1. the writer, 2. the editor(s), and 3. the moderators. Articles are first submitted by the writer via a dedicated section on the USPP website. The writer does not need any roles or qualifications to submit a work. The work is then announced in a channel dedicated to the writers and editors as an article to be edited. It is then edited by users who have been given the role “Editors” in the public discord servers, which will be given to users who ask an admin for the role and agree to follow a set of rules and guidelines based around maintaining the original idea of the article. The writer shall be able to edit alongside the editors during this process, but shall not be the final person to edit the article prior to the next step. After the article has been edited by at least one editor, it will be brought by the editor to a moderator and the original writer (who shall not be anonymous) to confirm the submission. Upon confirmation the article will be released. If the article is denied, it shall be brought back to the editors to confirm or deny it’s re-edit, If the article is denied the article will be dropped, if it is accepted it will begin at the 2nd step of the process once again. After the article is denied three times by a moderator or the writer, a irc meeting will be set up to discuss the article, including but not limited: to the moderators and writer involved, and any main editors of the article.
