Being a KaraokeCrowd guide
Guides are local contributors who help keep karaoke listings accurate. We appreciate that work, and we trust guides with local review access.
Guides are trusted local contributors. If you become a guide, thank you for helping maintain your area's karaoke info.
This is voluntary. There are no deadlines, no quotas, and no expectation that you clear every item.
What Guides can do
- Review submissions and event reports in their coverage area.
- Ask contributors for follow-up when evidence is unclear.
- Auto-approve some eligible local edits they submit themselves.
- Confirm events and report when an event isn't happening.
- Manage event dates for venues in their coverage area. Open the venue's or host's Manage events page to add upcoming dates to irregular or manually-scheduled karaoke nights, confirm dates, and mark dates not happening, even for venues nobody has claimed yet.
Claims, merges, flagged images, host profile submissions, and locked venues may still need a directory moderator. Guide status is local trust, not global admin access.
Recognition
Guiding is volunteer work, and we make sure it's seen. Every public city page lists the local guides whose coverage area covers that city, with a thank-you note — so visitors know who keeps their area's karaoke info accurate. Your name links to your public profile. (If your profile is set to private, you won't be listed there.)
Review standard
Approve only specific changes with current, direct evidence. Do not approve guesses, duplicates, or third-party-directory evidence as the main source.
For your own auto-approved edits, use the same standard you would apply to someone else's submission. Auto-approval means we trust you to check first.
Leave it for another guide or directory moderator when you are unsure, too busy, personally involved, or the change feels high-impact.
Use the contribution review queue when you want to review. For evidence standards, see How to Give Good Evidence.
