Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-11333115-20140103021332

Over time I have noticed that many, many users are confuzed about the roles that users with additional rights play oon the wiki. So here, I will define what they are, and how they are important in what they are supposed to do.

Bureaucrats
Users with the bureacrat right are at the top of the pyramid, they make the more important decisions regarding the wikis operation such as rules and guidelines as well as managing the promotion and activities of all the other rights groups including users. They are the ones that are incharge of resolving internal and external conflicts regarding the wiki and it's userbase. They are also the people to report site issues and abuse too. The bureaucrats of this wiki are here to help maintain peace among everybody as well as manage content and interactions outside of the wiki such as Social Media.

Sysops
Users that are granted the sysop permission are a step down from bureaucrat as their job is to maintain the content of the wiki as well as dealing with wiki matters that arise from time to time such as drama and vandalizm. They are also given the abillity to step in and moderate the chatroom and the wikis forum systems. Working alongside bureaucrats, sysops help create and enforce wiki policies and content guidelines. If younare having troubles with the site, or are just plain new to Wikia, or the site these are the people to ask help from. They are experienced is a wide range of site features.

VCROC
Users with the VCROC permission are in existance to maintain quality control on the wiki and to keep low quality content off the site. They take orders from sysops and are oftentime given a set of tasks to complete in order to clean-up or improve the content of the site. Keep in mind VCROC are not the lackies of the sysops and are often times considered to be site only sysops. They have the ability to protect, delete, restore, and move pahes and files on the wiki. They also have the permission necissary to block disruptive users from the site.

Rollback
They undo vandalism.

Chat Moderator
The role of chat moderator is too keep the peace in chat and to remove users that cause disruptions by spamming or trolling. They are not above the average user and should not be considered to be. They are just regular users who have been given the ability to deflect and or dissmiss disruptive users. They do uphold the rules but should not follow them verbatim. It is to be kept in the minds of the moderators that the rules are put in place to stop the extremely disruptive users, not to stop the occasional outbreaks of excitment that do happen from time to time. It is also to be known that sysops reserve the right to suspend a chat moderators rights if they are abused.
