New sysops

Rogue Leader · **Posted:** Fri Mar 10, 2006 8:24 pm

Recently, there have been seven new sysops on the wiki. I just want to congratulate all of them on their joining to the team and I want to wish them grood luck. The new sysops are Some H*R themed username, E.L. Cool, Heimstern Laufer, AbidViklas, Lapper, Phlip, and me. Once again, congratulations to all of them.
EDIT: I changed the title to avoid confusion. Whoops.

Ah, congradulations to the new sysops. I remember some of them from my old times on the wiki, and they were all pretty solid choices, I believe.

Once again, congradulations, guys. Maybe now FireBird can spend more time here.

Wow, those were the exact people I wanted. Were there really votes for them? I missed it.

No, there weren't votes this year. The admin team decided that they would most likely not be influenced by the voting, so they decided just to decide among themselves.

Yup, congrats to them all. Great choices. Great people. Although now I'm slightly intimidated by them. o_o

I remember when the first five went up, I was like "Holy cats, I know these people. o_O I could be next." (Y'know, in some alternate universe. ^-^ ) I was also going "Wait, why the pudding is AbdiViklas not among them??" 'Course, he went up next day. ^-^

Oh, 'new elected sysops' confused me then. Congradulation.

Let's put this as some kinda english thing (I forget the term):

Sysops are to Wiki, as Admins are to these forums.

I believe the word you are looking for is analogy.

Hey! The SATs are good for something. Too bad they got rid of that section

Rogue Leader · **Posted:** Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:26 am

Well, a sysop is sort of like a mod here. We have the following privileges...
*We can delete and restore articles and images
*Protect and unprotect pages
*Block users
*Edit protected pages
*View deleted edits.
And basically make sure everyone on the wiki is happy.

topofsm · **Posted:** Tue Mar 14, 2006 3:16 am

Ah, I didn't know it was on the wiki.

So props to syops.

Ooh, nice. I never really contributed to the wiki much, but sometimes I just lurk around aimlessly so I know that those guys deserve it. Combolations.
