Terraria Spriting And Ideas Wiki:Rights Nominations

Rights are permissions enabled for certain users that allow them to do certain things. This page is an encyclopedia about rights: It lists the permissions given for rights, it lists the requirements, and it gives a space for Admins and B-crats to nominate other users they deem worthy for rights.

These requirements are needed to be nominated for the various rights. Note that the requirements for rights, other than B-crat and Admin, do not necessarily have to be met. There is definitely a high possibility of a user being nominated before the requirements stated here are met; It is mainly the nominator's decision. The requirements for Admin or B-crat rights, however, are the *minimal* requirements among plenty of others.

## Nomination area

In this area, users that have Administrator and/or Bureaucrat rank may nominate an user to be considered for the rights. The community may then vote by typing their name with a link to their user page below the second that they agree with and (optionally) a reason for supporting, remaining neutral, or opposing.

The voting system works as such: Each nominated user starts out with a score of 0. Each Supportive vote is worth 1 point, each Opposed vote is worth -1 points and each Neutral vote is worth 0 points. At the end of the voting (which comes about one week, maybe less, after the nomination is posted) the score will be counted. If it is less than 0, the user does not get the rights; if it is more than 0, they do get the rights.

Deleting another user's vote is grounds for a **ban**, as is posting a nomination if you have no rights. You may vote for yourself, but you cannot nominate yourself.

### How to Vote

1. Edit the area you're supporting. (Support, Neutral, Opposed)
2. Write a sentence with a few words why you think the user should be nominated or just leave your name with a link to your user page.
3. Select publish, and you're done!
