General Staff
- Forum:
- Staff Post:
- Staff may entitle their post as "Staff Post." This announces their role as Staff and calls users' attention to its contents.
- A Staff Post may be used to put an end to discussions that are irrelevant, disruptive, or malicious, or in breach of our Site Rules.
- In the event of a call for a page's deletion, a Staff Post is required to initiate the vote. Subsequent Staff need not entitle their votes as a Staff Post.
- A Staff Post is either "(OPEN)" or "(CLOSED)" to indicate whether or not regular site members may reply to the post. Non-Staff replying to "(CLOSED)" posts is grounds for disciplinary action.
- Post Management:
- Staff may edit other users' posts, e.g. to remove inappropriate content or hide images.
- This power also extends to the summary deletion of extremely inappropriate posts.
- Thread Management:
- Moving a thread to a more appropriate category
- Locking, temporarily or indefinitely, threads which contain excessively heated or irrelevant discussions
- Editing a thread's title and description to remove violating content
