Help:Promotions and Demotions

The Wiki Promotion system

If you would like to become a staff member one day, these are the requirements. You must meet all the requirements in order to be eligible for a promotion.

General Requirements

 * The user must be active on the wiki.
 * The user must have at least one developed OC (not sona) to prove they can help new users develop their own ideas.
 * The user must be mature and able to use precise grammar/spelling.

All general requirements must be met, plus:
 * The user must have been on the wiki for at least 6 months.
 * The user must have at least 500 edits.

How to apply
There are currently two different ways you can apply for a position:
 * 1) Wait for moderator applications to reopen, then apply. Applications often close after a week and are read and reviewed by the entire staff team. It is highly recommended you put a lot of effort and truth into your application, as that will increase chances of your promotion. If you pass, you'll spend at least a week as a trial moderator before promotion to your position desired.
 * 2) Make a thread on Thea's or Luna's message wall titled '(Username) for (position)', and include reasons. Users will either support or oppose your request, and if the required percentage of supports is reached after one week, you will be promoted. Kindly note that if you don't meet the requirements, your thread will be closed.

The Wiki Demotion System

Inactivity
If a user does not contribute for two months or more, they are classified as inactive. Unless you leave an inactivity blog, you will be demoted for inactivity.

Neglectance
Neglectance is when admins neglect the wiki, making it seem they disappeared completely and without any traces (blog posts, messages etc). They 'neglected' their rights so they will be demoted.

Rudeness
Sometimes you get rude and start shouting at people, posting rude things or even blocking a user (as a privileged user) without a good reason. This can lead to demotion and even a block. Proof is usually required to prove acts of rudeness.

Abusing your rights
Some users are very greedy for the rights of a privileged user, so sometimes, after they earn these rights, they abuse them. This includes demoting other privileged users, blocking random users and deleting pages when not requested. This will lead to instant demotion, with a thread for users to vote to decide whether to promote the user back or not.

These are all the things you must know before applying, so take care with your acts
