From submission to trending
Slangora isn't a static dictionary. It's a feedback loop — a small one, with humans on every step.
- 01
Someone submits a word
A signed-in user fills out the submit form: the slang term, a clear definition, an example sentence, and (when known) where it came from. Anonymous submissions aren't allowed — every entry has an author or "anonymous" if the account is later deleted.
- 02
An admin reviews it
Submissions enter a moderation queue. An admin checks against the submission guidelines — clear meaning, real usage, no slurs, no spam, no duplicates. Most entries are reviewed within 24 hours. Approved entries go live; rejected ones come back with a reason.
- 03
The community votes
Once live, every definition gets up- and down-vote buttons. Upvote what's correct and useful, downvote what's misleading. The highest-voted definition is shown first on each word page. If you spot a problem, the flag (🚩) button sends it back to admins for re-review.
- 04
The dictionary updates itself
Words climb trending based on view velocity. Top contributors rise on the leaderboard. New approvals show up in the RSS feed and are pushed to the sitemap so search engines and AI crawlers index them within hours.
Why this design
Older slang sites let anyone post anything, and the result was a famously messy archive. Slangora's review step is deliberately a small bottleneck — it adds a few hours of latency in exchange for entries that read like a real dictionary. The voting layer on top means the community still picks which definitions rise; admins just keep obvious garbage out of the front door.
Everything else — pages, ranking, sitemap, RSS — is automatic. Once an entry is approved, it's just data flowing through the system the same way every other entry does.
