Get involved: we seek local experts to beta test crag moderator feature

Over the last two years, we’ve been improving the search-ability and data quality found on 8a with the help of our talented software developers who have had to cut back on their crag time to see this one out. We’re down to the final crux sequence and to get to the chains, we’ll need some insider beta! If you’re a well versed crag local or route developer, you can now apply and take advantage of 8a’s Crag Moderator Feature. As a moderator, you’ll have the power to edit and make corrections, plus merge double entries, where and when needed. 60 pilot moderators have already ironed out some of the kinks by carrying out 100,000 updates so far. Before we open this feature up for all locals, we would like to do another round of beta-testing by onboarding a further 30 moderators that are keen to have the utmost accuracy at their local spots on-hand in the 8a.nu database.
