Before you continue, please read the entirety of the [[AVID:Site Staff]] page. You must know the ins and outs of being part of site staff before requesting to be one.
===Moderatorship===
===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 responsibilities would Moderators have?''
''I have the commitment needed for Admin. Can I skip Moderator and jump straight to Admin?''<br />Absolutely!
 
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.
 
''I have the commitment needed for Admin. Can I skip Moderator and jump straight to Admin?''
 
Absolutely!


===Adminship===
===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.

Before you continue, please read the entirety of the [[AVID:ADMINS|administrators]] page. You must know the ins and outs of being an administrator before requesting to be one. Administrators have a lot of power, and thereby have significant responsibility. If you do not think you will be able to properly handle that power and make responsible decisions, this is not for you.

''I know I can handle being an administrator. What are the requirements to becoming one?''<br />While bureaucrats do have some flexibility in deciding who becomes an administrator, there are a set of base guidelines that they look for in reviewing requests:
