Discussions Moderators are users that have tools to manage the activity in the forums and the chat. They have the ability to:

  • Close or remove threads that become too long, or unnecessary and derailing to the wiki.
  • Edit other users' comments if those users perform the following actions:
    • Pyramid quoting.
    • Double posting.
    • Insulting other users.
    • Linking to illegal websites.
    • Uploading images for the sole purpose of being in the forums.
  • Moderators can also remove comments altogether that violate the forum policy, or are inappropriate and/or unnecessary for the forums (abusive behavior, trolling, spamming, bumping old discussions, ignoring requests of other users, etc).
  • Highlighting discussions that may require wiki-wide attention.

These rights must not be abused in any manner. Misuse of the discussions moderator privileges will result in the privileges being removed until such a time as the administration decides the user is capable of using the tools properly.

A list of discussions moderators can be found at: Special:ListUsers/threadmoderator.

Like admins, moderators may go through the Nominations process where members of the community discuss the nomination and give reasons why the user is or isn't suitable for the role. However the Discussion Moderator role may be granted by an Administrator in addition to the wiki's Bureaucrat.
