Is it possible to fail in TIP?

Answer 1

You will fail your mission if you do not do it correctly or break the guidelines during the mission.

For example:

• Copy and pasting
• Links in answers
• Signing answers
• Splitting alternates that shouldn't be split
• Not correcting the spelling of split alternates
• Not using the minor edit button when you should
• Unflagging questions without dealing with the reason why they were flagged
• Recategorising questions to categories they don't belong
• And so on

In some TIP missions, you will be provided an exclusive TIP guide for that specific task. Even if you have done similar tasks before, you should always still read the given guides, because they may contain information you do not know and they also explain how we expect you to perform as a TIP member rather than a contributor.

TIP aims to prepare contributors to become Supervisors - Supervisors are expected to follow the guidelines and perform their actions properly as expected of them. Therefore if a TIP member fails to produce a Supervisor-standard from their missions, they will fail the mission.

You will be asked to re-do the mission by a TIP Supervisor. In serious cases (such as cyberbullying or promoting illegal material) you may be removed and blacklisted from the program.
