Forum:New Right

'''NO CAMPAIGNING FOR TO VOTE 'FOR' OR 'AGAINST'. JUST VOTE AGAINST OR FOR WITH NO COMMENT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS.'''

Hello. I have noticed that for the last few weeks we have been having an admin shortage. We need more users deleting spam, and helping the wiki stay clean. My suggestion (So that we don't have an admin overflow again) is that we create a new right (Many wikis do this), called "AVT" which stands for "Anti-Vandalism Team". It will not have all of the abilities as administrators, but it will have just enough to fight spam. They still have to answer to administrators. If this passes, the administrators will decide 3 trusted active users to become an AVT. All AVTs will be chosen by admins, and most of the time there will be no AVT promotions. Feel free to suggest changes to the rights list in the comments section. -- seahorseruler | Talk  (EditCount) Yoshi! 19:52, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
