Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-24926943-20160407224201

Out of sheer boredom(this was literally made from boredom, guys, don't kill me), I made this forum to discuss something every user here has different views on: ''staff rights.'

I do request that you fully read this before saying or asking something. Plz. ):

If you're a regular editor here or an active user, staff or not, ask yourself this: Is being staff easy? What's your answer? Regardless, the difficulty of being staff depends on your rank and what you do in the wiki. Are you a chat moderator? Are you an admin? A rollback?

Rollback

 * Can undo edits with just one click of a button.

Chat Moderators

 * Have the ability to kick and ban users from chat

Discussion Moderators

 * Removing and restoring threads and replies from any user.
 * Closing and reopening threads
 * In the Forum feature specifically, moderators also have the ability to manage Forum boards, move threads from one board to another, and highlight and un-highlight threads.
 * Moderating chat
 * Deleting blog comments

Content Moderators

 * Deleting and moving pages
 * Deleting and moving files
 * Undeleting pages and files
 * Rollback
 * Reupload files
 * Protecting and unprotecting pages

Admins

 * All privileges from the discussion moderator and content moderator groups.
 * Delete and undelete pages, as well as delete images or files.
 * Protect both a page and a file so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without adminship privileges.
 * Block users
 * Grant and revoke both the chat moderator and discussion moderator rights.
 * Edit the wikia's skin and format. (CSS)
 * Edit whitelisted MediaWiki pages.

Bureaucrat
Same powers as above
 * They also have the ability to promote and revoke
 * rollback
 * content moderator
 * administrator rights
 * new bureaucrats (this however cannot be revoked by other bcrats)

But I am staff, what then?
Do you need help? If so, then feel free to ask another staff for help. It may be worth it. (:

I'm not staff, can I become staff?
no u cant become staff by just asking >:^(

Currently, the Wiki is not accepting any new staff at the moment. But if you want to aim and become one, then follow these steps.
 * Follow the policy (obviously)
 * Edit actively(required if you're aiming for admin/rollback/content mod)
 * Be active on chat(optional, required for chat mod)
 * Be active in the forums and answer questions that don't have answers(required for discussion mod)
 * Be mature and kind. Treat others the way you want to be treated. That can help your chances.

When we do start considering new staff soon, if you'd like to be considered, you can always ask a staff and they can suggest it to the bureaucrats and other admins, and they shall discuss it.

What are your views on staff rights? Comment below, no drama plz. Bye!
