'''Volunteer guide.''' How the ICE List submission pipeline works, and what your role does. Everything volunteers do stays in a private queue - '''nothing you submit is public until an administrator publishes it.'''

== The three phases ==
{{ICCard|tone=red|kicker=Phase 1|title=Submit|content=Links about ICE are dropped into a private inbox.}}
{{ICCard|tone=blue|kicker=Phase 2|title=Sort|content=The facts are pulled out of each link - agents, vehicles, incidents - with screenshots.}}
{{ICCard|tone=green|kicker=Phase 3|title=Confirm|content=Each record is checked for accuracy before it reaches the admins to publish.}}

== Your role ==

=== Submitter ===
Spot posts, articles, or videos about ICE on social media and '''drop the links into your inbox''' - use the paste box on your profile page. Paste one or many, hit add, done. Someone else takes it from there. That is your whole job.

=== Sorter ===
Open a submitted link and pull out the facts. On the link's page you will see:
* '''+ Agent''' - name, agency, role, state, and a screenshot grabbed from the footage.
* '''+ Vehicle''' - plate, make/model, agency, state, and a screenshot.
* '''+ Incident''' - date, location, and what happened.
* '''+ Note''' - any extra context.
Each record you add goes to Confirm for review. When you have finished a link, hit '''Mark sorted''' and it drops off your list. Use '''Sort the next link''' on your profile to jump to the next one.

=== Confirm ===
Check that each sorted record is complete and correct - the details, the sources, the screenshots. When it is right, hit '''Confirm''' and it reaches the admins for final publishing.

== Safety and rules ==
* '''Nothing is public until an admin publishes it.''' You are working in a private review queue.
* '''Document official conduct - never target private people.''' We document the on-duty conduct of public officials and agencies. Do not post home addresses, family details, or private personal information, and never use the site to threaten or incite violence.
* '''Source what you can.''' Add the original link and any evidence.
* '''Your identity is not published''' by the project.

== Getting started ==
Go to '''your profile page''' - your desk shows your role, your queue counts, and a button to begin. New submitters: paste a link and hit add. Sorters and confirmers: hit the button to open the next item.
