    <p>The DEV Tag Moderator program is currently in beta, so privileges will evolve over time.  Currently, tag moderators have the ability to:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Remove tags you are moderating from certain posts</li>
      <li>Update the tag sidebar (i.e. add a description, submission guideline, etc).</li>
      <li>Update the tag’s ‘pretty name’ and colors.</li>
    </ul>
    <h3>How to remove tags from a post</h3>
    <p>If you are the moderator of a tag, you have the ability to remove that tag from posts that should not contain it. This action helps us keep content categorized appropriately so that people can confidently follow tags, knowing that they'll see the subjects they're interested in.</p>
    <ol>
      <li>Visit the article in question.</li>
      <li>Append /mod to the end of the article URL (i.e. https://dev.to/ben/devto-is-now-open-source-5n1/mod)</li>
      <li>You'll see the below form. Update the appropriate fields. Please include the reason for removing your tag from this post. <strong>The author will receive a notification that the tag has been removed</strong>, along with your reason for removing it.</li>
      <li><strong>Note: once you remove the tag, the author will not be able to add it back.</strong> Only remove tags when you are confident they are not appropriate, and please do not remove tags simply because you did not like the post.</li>
      <li>Click remove!</li>
    </ol>
