Board Thread:A REALLY BIG ANNOUCEMENT/@comment-31986068-20170219001136

I have been thinking about this a while and there should be requirements for becoming an admin. I have not fully decided on this but I need to come up with a full, ok list of requirements to guide users who would like to be an admin in the future. Here's what I've come up with so far:


 * You must have contributed at least once a week.


 * You must have been an active member of the community for at least 2-3 months. The longer before you request the better chances you have.


 * You must have created a page or two and edited it.


 * You must have been following the rules. Note it is unrevised and has many rules that are now just ridiculous and obsolete.

There are also other things you can be, like a Content Moderator, Rollback, Bureaucrat and Discussions Moderator.

Admin/other Rights Request

I have also been thinking about this. If you wish to become an admin/other, and you have followed the (incomplete) list of requirements, you should make a forum thread stating:


 * Why you wish to become desired rank


 * How long you have edited


 * How many edits


 * Why you think you would be a good admin/rollback/other mod

Moderators may also edit the forum post to add their opinions on the user if they support the adminship/other mod.

If you are not an admin and cannot edit the post, you can type what you want to say and ask an admin to put it in, or post it in the comment thread.

If you think I should add anything on please say so.
