DDO wiki talk:Administrators/promote/Yawgmoth


 * This user is within ~20 edits of Category:1,000 edit users and has made a mark on a few projects on this wiki.. Yawg has marked a few pages for deletion due to spambots and I am of the opinion it is time to give Yawg the power to delete those spam pages and block the creators. Any-one care to second this nomination or are there any objections?  ShoeMaker 23:05, March 24, 2012 (EDT)
 * No objection, but as I've mentioned before I think promoting for the sake of edit count is unnecessary.
 * I think Yawgmoth should decide if he would like the promotion, and the extra responsibilities that go along with that power to decide.. Not us simply based on his edit count.
 * As we have plenty of sysops already and the basic administration tasks of patrols and simple spambot handling are being handled well enough, promotion to the group should be for a specific reason, and one the user desire to focus on. See Talk:Admins and edit patrols .. Slrvrhand was surprised by his promotion and didn't know what it meant.. Further promotions should be clear in what they offer, and what responsibility comes with it.
 * So if would like it, and wants to specify a certain area he would like to focus on and use the additional privileges for sure.. Otherwise, VIP should be the top level auto-edit count promotion IMO. Shade 23:34, March 24, 2012 (EDT)
 * I'll take the promotion. I have the Recent Changes page set to refresh every 5 minutes, so I'm rather fast at catching destructive edits (when I'm awake, or not reading the hundred web comics I follow, or on DDO). Plus, I'm one of the few people who have actually read the User Rights/Responsibilities. On a side note: Wonder what the spam is actually advertising, since the current spam makes no sense, and breaks Google translations... Seems to have been written by somebody with multiple voices in their head... Yawgmoth 19:35, March 25, 2012 (EDT)
