Do the TIP Supervisors really check my missions?
Yes, they do. Once you report a mission completion, the TIP Supervisors will look at every single one of your contributions towards the mission. Every action you perform on WikiAnswers is recorded. The TIP Supervisors are not only looking for perfection in your tasks, but they are also looking for errors and slip-ups. We're not saying you definitely will slip up during missions, but in case you do make a mistake, the TIP Supervisors can point it out to you and educate you on it. The purpose of The Initiates Program is to educate contributors. Reportedly, the TIP Supervisors can be slightly more strict than SPA, WIT and Community Outreach when checking missions - this is because they expect a "Supervisor standard" from TIP members rather than a "contributor standard".
