===Moderatorship=== | |||
The Moderator role would allow users to help out the Admins and Bureaucrats by gaining slightly elevated powers to help keep the Wiki clean and free from vandals, without them having the power to allow major changes to happen to the Wiki. It would also act as a first stepping stone onto the Wiki's staff team for users who want to elevate themselves to Admin or Bureaucrat in the future. | |||
''What would the requirements be?'' | |||
You must have at least 250 edits and they must be in good faith. (This includes edits on the old WikiFoundry site) | |||
You must not have been strongly warned within the last 3 months or tempblocked within the last 6 months. | |||
You should show a keen interest in the site and willingness to get involved with the community. | |||
You should show evidence of helping out the Admin team in the past. This includes reporting users and alerting Admins, but it does not require you to have done any rollbacks in the past. | |||
**Actions users have taken on the Wiki's official Discord server will also be taken into account when considering users for Moderator. | |||
''What responsibilities would Moderators have?'' | |||
The moderators of the site won't get as many responsibilities as the higher up Administrators or Bureaucrats, but they will be able to exercise the following: | |||
*Block users for up to 2 months. They will not, however, be able to revoke talk page access, so all users can appeal their ban. In the case of a sockpuppet or vandal, a Moderator can exercise a 2 month block to stop the sock from vandalising the site, and then an Admin or Bureaucrat can follow up with a more permanent block. | |||
*Issue Warnings and Strong Warnings. | |||
*Restore and Delete Pages and Files. | |||
*Add RfCs to the main page, however closing them will still only remain in the hands of the Bureaucrats. | |||
''How would poorly behaved Moderators be disciplined?'' | |||
*Moderators would be elected using the same system that elects Admins and Bureaucrats. A Request for Moderator section will be added to the Requests for Adminship page. Moderators can also have their rights revoked under Requests for Revocation. | |||
*A light infringement of the rules severe enough to warrant a temporary demotion will have their demotion period determined by a Bureaucrat | |||
*Users permanently demoted will not be able to apply for Moderator again for 3 months. They will not be allowed to apply for Admin until they have proved themselves again as Moderators. | |||
''I have the commitment needed for Admin. Can I skip Moderator and jump straight to Admin?'' | |||
Absolutely! | |||
===Adminship=== | |||
Becoming an administrator is a '''''big responsibility'''''. Administrators work very hard to maintain AVID and keep it running. This is not something that is handed out frequently or without thought. Only the most trustworthy, active, and knowledgeable users are granted adminship. For more insight into what this means and what it requires, please continue reading. | Becoming an administrator is a '''''big responsibility'''''.
