| Feb 8, 2021 at 19:06 | comment | added | Luuklag | @pkamb re-reading the blog they are used interchangedly. In the table they use one, while in the body of the text they use the other. It would be logical they refer to the same set of Community Managers. | |
| Feb 8, 2021 at 18:56 | comment | added | pkamb | Is "Curator Team" synonymous with "Curator Support Team" and made up of SE employees? Or is it a team of Curator users? | |
| Feb 8, 2021 at 18:49 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @gnat well, but we can't know the history of this word being used internally between SE staff members. | |

| Feb 8, 2021 at 18:36 | comment | added | gnat | @ShadowWizardisVaccinating per my recollection, first who started actively using this term with its current meaning was Martin James at MSO. Although the word itself can be found used by Shog and devinb over 10 years ago | |

The word has existed for a while - we just found that it does a good job of defining the work done on the site - which has been described as "curation" to separate it more clearly from "moderation". Much of the work that curators do isn't moderation, though some falls into both categories. There's long been confusion between big M Moderators (diamond mods, elected mods, site mods, etc) and small m moderators - who are more what we're referring to as curators here - I think the need for some disambiguation exists, so I like having the two categories. | |
