Promotions and Demotions

Hey there, wiki founder, Uni, here to talk to you all about promotions and demotions real quick! At the current moment, we are not looking for any powerusers, but here is how the process would work, and the requirements for each level of poweruser! Additionally, this page will also talk about demotions and the process for that; demotions are always something that may occur, regardless of how unfortunate we find it happening to be. We thank all powerusers for their services.

## **Promotions**

In general, wiki promotions are based off the support of the userbase and the history the user has; a text + poll post will be made to gouge out the rough percentages of how many users support or feel the same, as well as allowing users to view what the nominee has to say for themselves or someone else. So, please message a poweruser your nomination message [preferably Uni because they know how to make text + poll posts], and they will make the post in Moderator Discussions category. But, first, there are a few requirements that must be met.

### **Requirements**

#### General Requirements

* **No previous warnings or blocks.**
	+ Although it is best for there to be none, we understand that people make mistakes; so the actual meaning of this is that you've owned up to those mistakes and have improved.
* **At least 2 months of activity.**
	+ In general, we want active moderators who can respond to those who need them; we also want them to be active in the community, though that's not a requirement. I assure you, future introverted content mods, you will not be forced to talk to people every day. If a user hasn't been consistently active on the wiki for at least 2 months, we can't determine their dedication to the wiki properly.
* **At least 75% of the vote is support.**
	+ We want the userbase to agree with who is moderating; that means that at least the majority of people support the poweruser for the position.
* **A need/want to moderate.**
	+ You need to at least want to do the job of moderating! If you don't believe you're up to it, then please don't nominate yourself for the position; *even if other people believe you'd make a good moderator*.

### **Specified Requirements**

#### Discussions Moderators

* **At least 500 posts.**
	+ Due to how small the wiki is currently, we're not requiring a lot of posts for the sake of simplicity and capability.
* **Consistent reporting and a responsible attitude.**
	+ While a poweruser can have fun and goof off, it should also be possible for them to be responsible in any given situation that requires it.
* **3 projects displayed in discussions that have been maintained.**
	+ This can be roleplays, daily art prompts, essays and rants based on a theme, stories and more; keeping up with projects shows that you understand how discussions works and are an active member of the discussions community.

#### Content Moderators

* **At least 300 edits.**
	+ Similarly to discussions moderation; it's a smaller number, however, because edits are quite harder to get a large number of than posts are, simply because of the nature that there's no communication or egging on behind the editing.
* **Consistently reporting and contributing faithful edits.**
	+ Vandalism is not tolerated on the wiki, which is why we require content mods; and although it is fine to goof off between friends on each other's pages here, it is also required that a content mod be able to recognize faithful edits and unfaithful ones.
* **3 consistently maintained pages/projects.**
	+ We require this because it shows that you are able to operate and understand how pages work.

#### Administrators

* **Support from 75% or more of the mod team as well as the userbase.**
	+ An admin must be supported by the community and known as a trustworthy individual; this is important so that bureaucrats don't promote potentially harmful moderators.
* **Active for at least a year.**
	+ It shows age /j; okay, not really, but it shows dedication to the wiki.
* **A general understanding of moderation tools and previous experience using them.**
	+ tba
* **Completion of 3 projects to help the wiki's growth.**
	+ This can be advertising, making pages, doing art, and more; just three general projects that have helped the wiki grow and get bigger.

#### Bureaucrats

* **Support from a majority of the current powerusers and from at least 75% of the userbase.**
* **Active for at least a year and a half.**
* **Having a good reputation with the wiki userbase and administration.**
