Content Moderators

## God's Eyes

**Staff • Admins • Bureaucrats • Thread Mods • **Content Mods** • Representatives • Bots**

## Introduction

Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate specific parts of the community. They help to make sure there’s no malicious code on articles that could harm users; every image that’s uploaded to this fandom are manually reviewed to prevent porn, gore, or other unwanted images from being hosted here.

Having this status causes the tag "Content Moderator" to appear next to user's username in their profile, unless changed on MediaWiki:Userprofile-global-tag-content-moderator. See Special:ListUsers/content-moderator for a member list.

## Content Moderator Rights

Content Moderators have the following rights:

* Editing and moving fully protected pages
* Deleting and undeleting pages and files
* Editing and moving protected files
* Rollback
* Protecting and unprotecting pages
* Patrolling pages if the community has the recent changes patrol feature enabled

## Benefits

The benefits of being a Content Moderator are:

* Staff member: Content Moderators are part of the managing staff, and as such can take part in staff discussions. In other words, members have the opportunity to directly commune with regards to the future direction of the site, and their opinions will be taken into consideration when creating/modifying site policies.
* Unrestricted page unlock privilege: When it comes to pages with administrator-level protection, members are required to provide a valid reason for unlocking the page. Depending on the validity, the page may or may not be unlocked. (Content Moderators, however, can unlock pages, edit locked pages, etcetera. In other words, they have administrator-level access to pages).
* Unrestricted access to the Patrol feature.

## Appointment

The following pre-requisites must be met for appointment as a Content Moderator:

* Member must display intimate familiarity with the Standard Format pages. Member should have an eye for small details, including the specifics of formatting.
* Member must have 1000+ edits cleaning up pages, including but not limited to:
	+ Mark-up cleaning
	+ Links clean-up (both internal or external)
	+ Spacing, bolding, etc.
	+ Adding/removing/correcting listed VS threads
* Member should display decently high standard of English, including capitalization, spelling and grammatical structure.
* If cleaning up locked up profiles, member must display efficiency by ensuring revised profile is re-locked.
* Member should be active for at least 6 months, with at least 3 months of frequent activity.
* Once promoted, the member must preferably remain similarly active. A period of inactivity over 1 month, in cleaning up profiles, will likely result in the position being rescinded.
* Minimum number of edits needed to become an content-moderator is 500.
* Some users may be randomly promoted to that of a content-moderator due to the lack of staff.

## Removal

The Content Moderator position may be revoked under any of the following conditions:

* Severe violation of the wiki rules.
* Bad-mouthing the wiki policies. (Personally disagreeing with them is an entirely separate issue. In case of such a disagreement, it is recommended that the matter is resolved with a private conversation, instead of exploding publicly).
* Direct disobedience of a bureaucrat in case of a site policy. (Personally disagreeing with a policy is an entirely separate issue. In case of such a disagreement, it is recommended that the matter is handled via personal messages. Publicly disagreeing about a page's content (such as a character's statistics, or the profile image) is, of course, permitted, as long as done within the confines of the site's rules).
* Public argument is prohibited in cases of site policies only. In such instances, it is strongly recommended that the matter be handled via private messages.
* Complete inactivity for a period of three months or more.
* Misuse of powers to modify statistics of Administrator-locked pages, to insert false and unmotivated ratings.
