Junior Validators
The Junior Style Validators Team is composed of community members (often style authors) who assist the Style Customisations Team in validating user-submitted styles in the Styles Database.
Their role includes testing styles to ensure that everything displays and functions correctly and that they adhere with the rules set in place by the Styles Submission Policies. They are also the first responders when a submission enters the Styles Database, which consists of quickly checking submissions and pointing out those that contain major issues.
What are the duties of a Junior Style Validator?
Junior Style Validators download and install newly submitted Style from the Styles section of the Customisation Database. They check for any visible errors with the styles and together create a report with comments and suggestions. The style then receives a status ('Validating', 'deny', 'repack', etc.) and continues through the validation process. If any issues are found, the styles author receives a helpful report from the Style Customisations Team.
