Topic: Wiki should mention staff responsibilities/roles?

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

https://e621.net/wiki_pages/204 -> Staff
I guess this counts as a feature request. I was curious who does in-place replacements of posts with errors that got corrected by the artist, and it makes sense this and other roles would be listed there. Searching forum for replace/replacement/etc. is a non-starter! XD

Technically we have this: https://e621.net/help/accounts

Although it doesn't list everything and it's not 100% up to date, but does give a decent overview of the big stuff.

You can also see on someone's profile page, under the Feedback and above the Upload limit, is Permissions. And it will say if they have replacements beta access or not. Most of the staff have it, although I think a few staff have not opted into it. So that should help you know if someone can help with that or not.

Thank you! I don't have access to edit that (204) wiki entry, but we could add a link to it and whatever's not already mentioned in the link you posted from your reply, please? This would seem to be an efficient use of the wiki. I forgot that some people opt in/out of some permissions regardless of account owner's position(job title better description?).

I noticed that it doesn't mention moderators - could have sworn one was missing and double-checked. Yeah, only one user with that role on the entire server, even though technically the janitors would be considered mods in a lot of terminology. XD

Just thought of something: It would be interesting to think of a permission that only allows replacements of your own uploads (if you do a lot of uploads, alongside unlimited permission?), or posts with your artist name (if verified), and can get revoked if you abuse it.

The Moderator role used to be Admin-lite, for what were basically Adimins-in-training. Back then., it was pretty much a temporary position. With the new CoC in place, the Moderator role has also been revamped into a role that runs parallel to Janitors rather than between Janitors and Admins. Currently, Slyroon is the site's only Moderator as he moved laterally from his Janitor role. I imagine a big part of why the Moderator role hasn't been added to that page is because the Admins and Slyroon are still tweaking what the role needs before we decide on bringing in more Mods.
