USER RIGHTS POLICY
The User rights policy is a guideline for editors wanting to know about the process of acquiring local extended rights on the DOORS Wiki. User rights are condensed to user right groups, which give the user a set of permissions like deleting pages and blocking users.
The User rights policy was last revised on 5 September 2023. It is subject to change at anytime.
Acquiring extended user rights
The DOORS Wiki and its administrators give users extended user rights only via applications that are announced and temporarily open for 3~ days. Only the threadmoderator and rollback user rights groups can be given via applications, the rest require the user to be in the staff team.
Application process
Accepted users will be informed and given their rights as soon as the staff team agrees on a selected batch, results will be announced in discussions as well. More information for each available user right group will be found in their respective application form.
Discussions Moderators (threadmoderator) are independent of the rest of the staff as they operate on the discussions page and comments, having their own application that's open only for when the staff team needs more Discussions Moderators. A user willing to be a Discussions Moderator should have:
- No major or numerous infractions (e.g. harassment...)
- Drama is included, any participation in such ordeals outside of de-escalation is discouraged
- Decent amount of posts, known in the community (50~ posts)
- Has reported inappropriate posts before with a majority of them being deleted
- Has been active over the past week(s) at the time of writing the application
Rollbackers (rollback) generally count as "interns" for fact-checking and Manual of Style enforcement, seeing how dedicated they are before promoting them to Content Moderator. They have a separate application that is available indefinitely, the group having no user limit. A user willing to be a Rollbacker should have:
- No major or numerous infractions (e.g. vandalism...)
- Decent amount of edits (50~ non-userpage and meaningful edits)
- Orientated themselves around the Project:Manual of Style and editing etiquette
- Has been active over the past week(s) at the time of writing the application
Further user rights
Acquiring user rights groups past Content Moderator requires the user to be a rollbacker and perform rollbacks to show independency and knowledge of the wiki's rules. There is no exact process to obtaining Content Moderator and beyond other than administrator consensus.
Grounds for demotion
For a user with extended rights to be demoted, the responsible administrator/bureaucrat must have a probable cause, commonly being:
- Abuse of extended rights for self-benefit, vandalization etc.
- 6 month long inactivity without notice to administrators/bureaucrats
- Incompetence and/or unwillingness to prevent incidents
