So, it was pointed out in this forum, that the chat is occasionally modless. Which, it is. Now, I know it was said by Boog, "We have 25 staff positions, 17 of those spots can moderate chat." Now, I've been thinking about this topic for some time now. Like, weeks, and simply saying we have 17 positions to moderate chat doesn't mean that those spots are filled. As of now, we have 9 staff members and, with newer rules about moving up our ranks coming into place, it doesn't look like anymore of those 17 positions will fill up anytime soon. Now, this isn't the only area understaffed as many forums aren't highlighted when they should be and important pages aren't updated. I feel we need a change w/ our staff positions and rights. So lets get too it.

1) Expand the admin position by one.

2) Remove Miniadmins. I really don't see a point in mini admins. Like, we have them for no reason. They basically have the same rights as admins but are under a different title. I feel those who qualify for mini admin should just become admins instead. There is no need to have a "admin in training" job area.

3) Merging of Content Moderators and Moderators. Really, no one even takes these jobs and those in the position can both moderate chat and all pages. This would allow us to need fewer staff members who would be willing to take this job and allow them to moderate chat, helping w/ the aforementioned problem. This new area should have 6 positions.

Qualifications (would be)

 * 400+ edits
 * 4+ months on the wikia.
 * Good grammar, spelling and punctuation.
 * Active at least 4 times a week.

4) Chat moderator and Rollback sections should stay the same as they are.

For those in the positions being removed, I feel they should be able to remain in that position until they leave it. There should be no rush for them. But, if this passes, no further applications for removed positions would be allowed.
