Forum:Moderators Group

This topic is to discuss the proposal to create a new user group for certain users to gain limited powers to help keep the wiki a friendly place: Moderators.

Summary
Per the discussions in this forum topic, it would not be possible for the "protect" right to be split to allow protection but disallow unprotection. In that topic, it was mentioned the possibility of having a user group with limited powers to moderate the wiki and the group would likely be called Moderators.

I support the idea, but I have two questions. The first one, after this group will be created. Who will be responsible for adding moderators who are supposed to have a high-level of trustworthiness and know his rules very well? The sysop? The second one, what are those rules that could distinguish between the moderators and rollback rights? — Shakhmoot  (Talk) 19:59, July 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * For your first point, most likely sysop's would make the promotion after discussion between themselves in private areas (if such areas exist :P)
 * For the second point, that would have to be discussed between the sysop's as well since they'd be the ones enforcing those rules. --Speysider Talk Page 20:01, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Perfect, but as known. We are here in an encyclopedia not a forum. So those rules must have been put properly by sysops, we need them here to share their ideas about this point in exact. — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 20:08, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

I would point out if this was implemented, I think the amount of time this group should be able to protect a page would have to be a short period in the measurement of a few days. — S im A nt 20:26, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it should be good that only sysops have the power to protect the articles permanently unlike the moderators. — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 20:32, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
