Curious
What was the reason both you and Dantman preferred the word "sysop" over "admin"? (In full detail, pls) 20:06, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I thought so. I also comment on certain forums on the internet, and the "administrator" of those forums pretty much has control over virtually every single feature on the forum website. A "sysop" or even a "bureaucrat" on a wiki doesn't have that privilege, because there's still so much we cannot do even with bureaucrat rights (such as, granting bot, helper, VSTF and so many other rights, and not being able to edit every page in the MediaWiki namespace, amongst other things), so I always thought it was technically misleading to call sysops/bureaucrats on a wiki "administrators", when in reality they don't have control over every single function of the site. It would be more accurate to call Wikia Staff "administrators" (since they seem to have control over everything) correct? Or nah? 21:17, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * "Actually some wiki's on Wikia do allow bureaucrats to grant bot flag (but it's extremely rare, the only known case I know of is the Runescape Wiki). The default action is to allow bureaucrats to remove the bot flag (but not grant) from bad bots, but not many wiki's have this (the wiki's which don't either requested that feature to be removed, or Wikia Staff took it away due to abuse, or the wiki is bugged)."
 * Crap, that is correct, I forgot about Staff allowing certain groups to grant additional rights through further customization (for instance, this wiki, sysops and rollbacks can grant the rollback flag to others and whatnot).
 * Either way, I agree with you and Dantman, it's really bad to call sysops "admins" when they really aren't. 21:30, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * So it appears that the words "block" and "ban" are also mixed up as well as "sysops" and "admins". Fun. Because I noticed when one gets banned" from a site, you can't access the site (for instance, get banned from the chat, you can't access the chat). Get "blocked", and it's just like a read-only mode. 21:36, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * "some forums even remove the ability to log out to prevent the user socking the ban"
 * Let's be real: Wikia really needs that feature, since even Staff are generally helpless against a person who makes a ton of sockpuppet accounts (and I had to deal with that on the DBU wiki months ago). Dealing with users who make multiple accounts is not fun . Not fun at all . 21:47, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see.
 * "which is difficult to pull off without such things being intercepted with an adblocker"
 * Speaking of adblockers, did you notice this thread on the central wiki? Apparently, all of us have have to deal with this "trending fandom articles" ad in the middle of articles (which is bullshit) because of this whole "Wikia: The Home of Fandom" slogan (which is also really bullshit, but it would save us both time if I don't rant about that). I've been trying to get rid of the advertisement with code, and I'm too lazy to install an adblocker atm.... 22:01, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
