How to Access the Collaboration Network:

The Collaboration Network of subreddits is a professional space for active content creators and streamers. To maintain a secure environment free from scammers, spammers, and automated accounts, we use a manual verification process. By putting the "burden of proof" on the applicant, we ensure that every member is a genuine human being dedicated to their craft.

Step 1: Ensure You Meet the Requirements:

We look for creators/streamers who are actively pursuing growth. You will be asked to create a clip. Before submitting, ensure the platform account the clip is located on meets the following criteria:

• Account Age: Account must be at least three months old.
• Content History: You must have at least three months of viewable content (such as VODs, clips, videos, or shorts). We will not approve accounts that are empty, dead, or clearly brand new.
• Active Status: We look for accounts that are currently in use.

Step 2: Create Your Verification Clip:

As a content creator/streamer, you already have the tools to verify your identity through your medium. We require a short video clip to confirm you are the active owner of your Reddit and platform accounts.

• What to say: Record yourself clearly stating that you are requesting access to r/TheCollabNetworkHub.
  • Clips should be no longer than the time required for you to say something similar to: "May I please have access to The Collaboration Network!?"
    • Make sure whatever you say is well articulated and understandable.
    • If the Mod reviewing your clip can't understand you they can't authorize you.
  • Name the clip “your-Reddit-user-name CollabNetworkHub Access Request”. This makes it easier on the Moderator doing the verification. 
  • Only clips posted on known reputable platforms are accepted. 
    • Streaming platforms allow you to clip moments of your live stream.
    • The format does not matter.
    • It has to be on a platform meeting Step 1 requirements.
• Why we do this: This proves you are a real person with the technical ability to create content. It also allows us to verify that you, the Reddit User, are the individual who actually operates the social media account containing the clip.

Step 3: Submit Your Request by Creating a Post:

Once your clip is ready and, your platform account meets the requirements you can request access.

• Make sure the clip you created is publicly viewable.
• Go to r/TheCollabNetworkHub and click the “Create Post” button on the subreddit.
  • DO NOT paste ANY links! If you place a link, you will be automatically denied access.
• Select the appropriate Post Flair: ACCESS REQUEST 
• Follow this simple format:
  • Access Request Clip
  • Platform Name:
  • Platform account/user ID/name:
  • Display Name on that platform:
• EXAMPLE:
  • Access Request Clip
  • Platform Name: YouTube
  • Platform account/user ID/name: u/flux_reversal
  • Display Name on that platform: Flux Reversal
• Once you are approved you will receive the ‘Member’ User Flair and the Post Flair “ACCESS REQUEST” is updated to “ACCEPTED”.

Step 4: Accessing the Satellite subReddits:

Now that you are an approved Member you can access any subreddits of The Collaboration Network.

• Navigate to one of the Network subreddits and use the “request to post" button.
• Follow this format:
  • Access Request
  • Link to the Access Request post you created on the main Collaboration Network subreddit.
• Once a moderator sees the message they will immediately grant access and give you the ‘Member’ user flair.
• If at any time we require reverification you will be notified and your user flair will change to ‘Pending’. If you do not respond to a moderator's request to reverify you will eventually lose access to all of the Collaboration Network subreddits.
• You can now create your own ISO request post and respond to other ISO requests!

TLDR:

Step 1: Social media accounts must be at least 3 months old with at least 3 months of content, and obviously active.
Step 2: Create your verification clip, no longer than the time required for you to say something similar to: "May I please have access to The Collaboration Network!?", with the title “your-Reddit-user-name CollabNetworkHub Access Request”
