Forum:Potential Blog Right?

Forums: Index > Votes > Potential Blog Right?

I propose a new right designed for the blog - Copy editors (suggest for better names welcome) - They have all blog-related rights, and this should be the start of making the blog posted/administrated to more.

Copy editors have:

1. Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol)
2. Permission for deleting comments on Blog Articles (blog-comments-delete)
3. Permission for editing Blog Articles (blog-articles-edit)
4. Permission for toggling comments on Blog Articles (blog-comments-toggle)

These rights make blogs more administratable, as well as making the new posting job easier for non-sysops. --Zapwire 14:45, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

2. Yeah, blog mods sounds good. But too many rights can cause havoc. I would choose this over AVT anytime, but if this goes through, no more rights whatsoever, because Wikia won't give us them. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 17:45, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

5. M'kay. Sifting through blog comments was one of the main things that didn't particularly enthrall me when I was an admin, so let some non admins share the responsibility. - Wompus78 18:50, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

8. Sounds like a good idea! we need to make sure that there aren't a lot (or any at all) of spam in Blogs (the comments section)
9. Yeah you have the best ideas Dancing Penguin 14:41, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

• Maybe editing the interface (to update the spam blacklist for getting rid of spam comments) or even avatar removing? (that will have to be done CAREFULLY) --Zapwire 14:48, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
  • Only staff and helpers can delete avatars. I also suggest that its called Blog Moderators instead. They also should be able to delete and restore pages (So they can delete blog posts if they break the mos) --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 17:20, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
  • But wait? Don't admins already have all these rights. Why don't we just stick with admins. Good idea theoretically, but I can't think of any non-admins worthy (or bothered enough) to fill the job. In my opinion, enough with new rights, admins have them anyway. Remember the shoutbox right? It failed wikia-wide, so it was simply added onto admins rights... --Tigernose Chat • Edits 17:48, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
• I would suggest that we choose hal, Europea, and teltu. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 17:55, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
  • Those aren't good choices: they rarely post. I'm think people who post to the blog often but aren't sysops: ClubPenguinArchives, Brookelas (maybe not), etc. --Zapwire 18:29, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
• The name News Poster/Editor/Admin sounds cool. --Zapwire 18:30, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

• News Editor sounds great, but my criticism is that some people may think it's typically just someone who edits news posts. Something including "blog" or "moderator" sounds more wiki-friendly. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 18:44, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

• Im against brookelas and cpa from getting these rights because they will abuse it. I would rather have the users who i suggested because they can be trusted not to abuse and are experienced --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 21:51, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
  • The users you mentioned rarely post: ideal people are people who post often but no sysop powers. I listed some good candidates. --Zapwire 22:17, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

We need to pick someone who wont abuse. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 23:24, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Lets let people chose themslevs. we will pick the best. this will be so that we dont have to look at every user on the wiki. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 23:29, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah, someone like CPA or Brookelas would be good; but remember the whole point is that they're bothered enough to do the job because you don't get any special abilities when making blogs, but rather have to simply moderate them. --Tigernose Chat • Edits 18:03, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

I think I am perfect for the Job

Requirements:

• 3 Months of experience on the wiki.
• Post a lot of blog posts on the main page.
• Read a lot of blog comments.
• Not be power hungry.
• Be trusted by the community.

I meet the requirements!

Be honest. Really. Think about it. If you think you REALLY meet the requirements, and would like to be a proposed candidate, sign below. Stats that can be easily checked (the number of posts that you posted on the main page) will be and if you do not meet the criteria, you will be removed.

• Ozone101 Ozone101 23:32, January 17, 2010 (UTC) Did not meet requirements
• I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you LOVE me Papa. Paparazzi!
• I haven't done blog posts for the main page because no one hears me. I want to put blog posts about many things, and I need some help, but no one hears me. I wanna be a candidate, but if this prevents me from being a candidate, so remove me from the list... --You can't be too Careful anymore ^{HAPPY 2010!!}_{Last videos of 2009!!!} 01:50, January 18, 2010 (UTC) Did not meet requirements
• I think I can do the job. User:ClubPenguinArchives 03:02, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
• I will give it a go, as part of becoming more active. --Iamred1 (TALK|BLOG!|EDITS!) 06:55, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

In the name of nostalgia, may I suggest Blogmaster as the title? --† This is Serious Business! Jesus Loves You and Died for You!! †  :)  :) ^{TurtleShroom Productions: Patent Pending.} † 22:36, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
