User Rights

Asking for Rights
Review which rights you would like to recieve below, make sure you understand the basics and the concept of the rights. You have to be sure that you'll use these rights in your best way possible in supporting the wiki. Keep in mind that requests for certain rights are constantly open or closed so please be aware of which rights are available. Earning rights means you're a member of AJCW staff, so please act responsibly.
Ask for rights by clicking the Request Rights button in the desired section of rights. This will direct you to a page where you can request and fill out the form for your rights. After you have done so, an admin will approve your form, and the community will vote on whether you become a staff before through the voting system:
-(support), -(oppose), and -(neutral).
While anyone can apply for rights if they meet the requirements, staff withholds the right to go through your contributions, check to see if you're capable of being a staff member, and may decline or approve your entry form.
You can view how many mainspace edits you have by searching your user name in the edit count function.

Right Revamps
Rights Revamps are held every 4 months. They are often found in the News and Announcements thread and are held by admins. The revamps usually last a week before closing. The community votes on whether to -(support) or -(oppose) a user remaining with their current rights. Usually, staff spots are open after and promotions are held, but otherwise, promotions are held whenever it's needed.

There are 2 types of moderators. Content moderators and discussion moderators. Each type of moderator have a specific job. Moderators are trusted users who have experience with page monitoring.

Content Moderators keep the wiki's pages organized and cleaned up. They remove spam and vandalism, close threads, delete comments, message wall threads, and respond to specific complaints. They are also granted rollback rights (Users with the "rollback" tool are able to undo bad edits with one click, by using the rollback link on diff pages, user contributions list, or the list of recent changes.) in order to efficiently remove vandalism. They have the duty of reporting vandalizing users to admins.
The color code for content mods is red.

Discussions Moderators
A Discussion Moderator's job is to look after threads. Their job consists of dealing with inactive threads, closing/re-opening threads, moderating chat, deleting blog and article comments, managing forum boards, highlight/unhighlight threads, and removing/restoring threads from other users. Discussions Moderators are users who have additional tools available to manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having social discussions.
