Recently, Wikia made a few changes to the communication system, but more interestingly, introduced a new user group, the 'Moderator'. I believe some wikis for a while now have had a requested custom variant of it in the past, but now all will be able make use of the new position. Read the article here:



To summarise, moderators will have the ability to use all the management features of message walls and the forum, while regular users (who I did not realise could actually do all this stuff) will no longer be able interact with others' posts/replies, unless they are their own posts/replies or on their own message walls.

I am yet to discuss this with the rest of the staff, but I think this is a good opportunity for some of you forum regulars to gain some helpful tools to keep everything under control in our absence. Take the time to share your thoughts on the new position. What do you like/dislike about it? How can the wiki make good use of it? What system would make it work?

If you would like to read up about user group rights see [Special:ListGroupRights], already findable on the Community Portal.
