2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

RationalWiki talk:All things in moderation/Sysoprevoke

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Don't put it to a vote because the power that it gives is implied within the office of Moderator. Without it, the moderators will have no way of enforcing any of their decisions. You fellas need to have some ability to enforce decisions made. Without Sysoprevoke anyone can overturn a decision whenever they feel like it. --DamoHi 04:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

First of all, is it ok for a non-moderator to comment on the talk page here (but not the main page?) just want to make sure my understanding of this is correct. Secondly what does Sysoprevoke do? Refugeetalk page 05:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Takes away a person's sysopship (where another sysop cannot undo it). Sam Tally-ho! 05:15, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
(EC) Nothing prevents you from posting on the project page. Sysoprevoke is a usergroup that prevents the afflicted user from exercising any sysop powers, and can only be added or removed by moderators. Blue (is useful) 05:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
(godot here, on public computer) - actually, it is a community discussion, Damn and Refugee, so you should participate if you have opinions! :-) 184.96.175.70 (talk) 05:21, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
I was under the impression that the ATIM page is Mod only and that us mere mortals were to post our comments on the talk page. Presumably this also applies to subpages of the ATIM page. If not, I will repost the above comment on the main page. DamoHi 05:26, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
I wouldn't think the edit notice applies on subpages, unless they're archives of something. Blue (is useful) 05:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
