I’m a DEV Tag Moderator for the #showdev and #java tags. In this post, I briefly explain what the #showdev tag is, and what it is not. I include links to a few good examples of #showdev posts.
But first, what is a Tag Moderator? Tag Moderators are users like you who volunteer to make sure that the tags they moderate are used on relevant posts. The DEV Tag Moderation Guide explains in more detail. Essentially a Tag Moderator can remove a tag from a post if it doesn’t fit the guidelines for the tag, and can also add a tag to a relevant post if it doesn’t already have that tag (provided it is a tag that they moderate). In most cases I try to suggest a different tag that fits better whenever I remove a tag. It has been rare that I’ve actually added a tag, since that can only be done if the post doesn’t already have 4 tags. If you are interested in becoming a Tag Moderator, see the DEV Tag Moderation Guide for details.
