Heya, David. I signed today to user rights group revisions, which basically consists of upgrading and renaming moderators and injecting what they call "content moderator". That is, basically, an administrator without specific availabilities. The moderator revision will be useless for us as their new abilities will not be of any great significance on this wiki, as they include deleting, moving, and editing Article Comments and deleting Blog Comments; and we have neither. Nonetheless, I have found myself in a position in where I disagree with any Moderator promotion in the Wiki, as judging by a late experiment of mine, current staff do not involve themselves as much as you (or anyone) would expect in forum threads or discussions other than closing a few. I deeply suggest decreasing the amount of moderators we run on, as I see we can save space for other people willing to work.

However, the new user group right overrides the actual user rights system we work with in the wiki (which I find mediocre and generic) as it will provide the promoted users the following: the ability to do what we do without blocking and accessing special/private pages for actions beyond moderation, included moderator, chat moderator, and rollback status merged into one. This group will enable us to pick out new administrator candidates but it will also end on nullifying the administrator position at best, at some point. As useless as I find this group for anyone in this Wiki right now, I am sure we must stick to promoting one user who is willing to prove himself/herself.

After finishing my experiment, I also made it to the conclusion we don't even need 2+ chat moderators per chat scene, nor 5 moderators when only 2 or 3 are doing what they are supposed to do. I honestly find the staff positions over done and unnecessarily provided, as some have positions they don't even use, even in higher ranks as discussed before through chat between you and me. If it does not bother you, I also got perfect users for each position mentioned in this message.

That is all and to summarize it a bit, I am suggesting a reboot. I hope you understand. Cheers.
