Bouken-Hibiki Wiki:Requesting of User Rights

In order to create a fair experience and opportunity for everyone, the Bouken-Hibiki Wiki admins have to decided to create new guidelines on how new administrators and content moderators are decided on. All admins and content mods are/will be listed on the site's main home page. The requirements are listed below.

Rules
When requesting to either become an Admin or Content Moderator, community members will discuss if you are fit for the job. The community will discuss your request and the requestor will receive a response with a decision within 24-72 hours. The active Administration will then review the request and give a final decision. If your request is denied, you may not post another for a month. You may vote and request user rights below.

If an Admin or Content Moderator has been seen abusing power or using it incorrectly, you may submit a demotion request using the same format as a request, but describing why they should be demoted. The votes will remain the same as if they were being promoted. It is highly suggested that when a request like this is made, please make sure that the user has broken a rule and that you submit screenshots of the problem to a 3rd party image uploading site like imgur.

''***PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS ONLY WHEN THE NEED IS CALLED FOR. THIS IS NOT A CONSTANT REVOLVING DOOR OF REQUESTS. ***'' Please note as well the approved candidates MUST join the Tokupedia Discord server (accessible on the home page). Your willingness to join the Discord will factor in on your decision request. We have this as a requirement so all admins can maintain constant communication with each other.

Thread Moderator Abilities

 * They can delete blogs and blog comments.
 * They can lock comments on blogs
 * They can rename blogs.

Content Moderator Abilities

 * They can delete and move protected pages.
 * They can delete and move files.
 * They can undelete pages and files.
 * They can rollback edits.
 * They can re-upload files.
 * They can protect and unprotect pages.
 * They can delete blogs and blog comments.
 * They can lock comments on blogs
 * They can rename blogs.

Administrator Abilities

 * They have all the user rights as Content Moderators and Thread Moderators.
 * They can ban/block users who are vandalizing the wiki from editing.
 * They can edit the wiki's Javascript and CSS.

What does the Administration Team do?

 * Give warnings and ban vandalizers/griefers.
 * Keep order on the wiki and settle disputes on the wiki.
 * Clear spam and useless articles from wiki.
 * Update the wiki and keep it modernized.

What shouldn't the Administration Team do?
Admins should never abuse user/abilities rights for their own gain. If abuse is noticed, it will result in immediate termination of users rights and a ban from the wiki. Admin user rights should be only used to clean up vandalism, organize and clear spam from the wiki. Admins still follow the same rules and policies as everyone else.

If a user is seeking to demote an admin, it must be because the admin either has seen consistently breaking the rules, the admin has been inactive for a long period of time or another fair reason.

What's the difference between a Bureaucrat and an Administrator?
A Bureaucrat is a user that can make other users bureaucrats or administrators on the wiki. Admins do not have this ability. However, they cannot remove the bureaucrat rights from another user. A Fandom Community Staff member must do this.

How Many Admins and Content Moderators Can There Be?

 * Admins: 10
 * Content Mods: 10
 * Thread Mods: 5
