User blog:C.Syde65/C.Syde's Wiki News - 1st May 2015

Hello to those of you who stumble across the first news blog posted here at C.Syde's Test Wiki. I have written a blog to publicly announce some of the changes that have been made to this wiki over the last month.

It has also been written to publicly announce some of the proposed policy changes to this wiki. Two of these proposed policy changes are currently being discussed.


 * Forum:Making changes to the Rollback, Moderator, and Chat Moderator system
 * Forum:Making changes to the Block and Unblock system

A couple of other proposed policy changes will be up and running at my earliest convenience.

2nd April 2015

 * The main articles regarding Moderators, Chat Moderators, and Roll-backers were merged together, along with the moderator, chat moderator, and rollback systems. With this, the moderator deluxe team (team of moderators, chat moderators, and roll-backers) was born. The community team basically consisted of all users that weren't administrators or bureaucrats.

28th April 2015

 * The new proposed policy of making it compulsory for moderator, chat moderator, and rollback rights to be obtained together was announced. The discussion and voting period would last five days.

29th April 2015

 * Another proposed policy was announced on this day, proposing eliminating the strict rule that forbade users with sock-puppet accounts (including those who otherwise meant well) from setting foot on this wiki. This proposal was made in response to users that had publicly expressed irritation of this "no setting foot on this wiki if you have been exposed to have used sock-puppet accounts to evade blocks on other wikis" policy.
 * The policy forbidding users from intentionally abusing multiple accounts on this wiki for bad reason would be kept in place. As would the policy prohibiting users using sock-puppet accounts to bypass blocks if they were indefinitely blocked due to violation of the wiki policies.

30th April 2015

 * A new user group known as "Assistant" was added to this wiki. The user group was adopted from The Encyclopedia SpongeBobia which is presumably where the "Assistant" usergroup originated from. Assistants are officially part of the administration team, even though they are technically not administrators themselves. Moderator, chat moderator, and/or rollback rights would need to be obtained in order to be eligible to apply for assistant-ship.

If I've missed out any of the important changes that were made to this wiki within the past month, I will add them once I've realised that I've forgotten to list them.
