You should talk to your personal TIP supervisor about any questions that you have.
Alternatively you can talk to another TIP supervisor or the program coordinator Zapallar.

What do I do if I have finished a TIP mission?
When you finish a TIP mission you should let your TIP supervisor know by leaving them a message. Your supervisor will then review your mission to make sure you have carried it out correctly. They will then assign you your next mission.
What should I do if I don't understand my TIP mission?
If you are unsure about any aspect of your TIP mission then you should let your TIP supervisor know. Your supervisor will be happy to explain anything to you in more detail to help you understand.
Will it count against me if I fail a mission in The Initiates Program?
Every mission or task you complete in The Initiates Program is checked very carefully by a TIP supervisor. Remember that they are looking for a supervisor standard to your contributions, not a contributor standard. That means absolutely no cutting corners and making sure you read every single line of the messages and guides the TIP supervisors send you. Your progress through each task is recorded in a database by the TIP supervisor who checks your mission and is accessible to the TIP staff and the Answers management. Notes about your strengths and weaknesses are added as are notes about your successes and missions you fail. Should you fail a mission in TIP, it will be noted in the database. Every action you perform whilst in TIP counts whether you get the supervisor badge at the end of it or not. That includes missions and social interactions with other users. In serious cases, yes, a mission failure could affect the management's decision to allow you onto the supervisor team. However a quick, successful re-try of that failed mission can help you get back in their good books. In extremely serious cases such as cyberbullying, your membership to TIP will be terminated without question. Remember that the TIP supervisors exist to help you become a supervisor on Answers, they do not exist to slow you down or hinder your progress . They want you to succeed and put a lot of time into trying to help you earn that badge, especially behind the scenes. In return they expect TIP members to be respectful and complete missions properly. If you failed a mission in TIP, you can very easily get back on track by restarting that mission as requested by your TIP supervisor, performing the task as you should.
What can I do if I am struggling to find alternates for the alternates mission in The Initiates Program?
If you are struggling to find alternates to sort during your alternates mission in TIP, please get in touch with your TIP Supervisor. The TIP Supervisor will lend you a hand by providing a question or two with bad alternates. Though it is best to try and find these yourself to show your ability to recognise questions with messy alternates.
Is there a deadline for completing each mission on TIP?
No, there is no deadline. Each mission can be done at the TIP member's convenience. The start date is always recorded to be able to track the number of contributions for each specific mission.
What should I do if I come across a bad or vandal question during my TIP task?
During your TIP task, if you come across a question that is inappropriate or one that you believe should not be on the site, please send a message or email to a TIP Supervisor so they can deal with it. You could of course notify any Supervisor, but the TIP Supervisors are the only ones who can access the TIP database where we store notes like "brilliant at detecting bad questions".
I don't like a certain mission in The Initiates Program so can I skip it?
Unfortunately not, no. In order to graduate and become a supervisor, you need to demonstrate that you have the ability to use the basic tools, before we give you the supervisor tools. However you may be able to discuss with your TIP Supervisor the possibility of coming back to the mission another time. Always talk to your TIP Supervisor if you need help - that is what they are for.
Restaurant owner dines but does not tip-what to do?
A restaurant owner should not tip his/her staff, period. What type of stupid question is this? The service staff should be lucky to have a job, and treat the proprietor with respect, which means serving him/her and not expecting a tip. Who gives the owner a tip for starting a great restaurant and creating many jobs?

When will I get the latest TIP mission completion badge on my profile?
If you have the classic profile, it will be added right away when the mission completion is accepted by your TIP Supervisor. If you have the newer profiles, it may take a few hours to show up.
Why did I fail my TIP mission for not using minor edit?
Because you have stolen the rightful credit from the rightful answerer of the question. Theft of answer credentials is very impolite in this community. Supervisors need to be polite and respectful. You should always use minor edit when you are editing but did not contribute any new information to the answer, for example, if you are correcting spelling or grammar. We look for a Supervisor standard in your contributions during TIP tasks.
Are there badges for participation in TIP?
Yes, there is a TIP Program badge and a series of badges for each mission completed. There is also a TIP graduate badge. These are all placed on your profile page.
