Gojipedia Staff are users on Gojipedia that are granted the ability and responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly.
Purposes
The main job of all Gojipedia staff is to help users, so don't hesitate to ask a member of staff if you have any problems or questions.
What Gojipedia staff should not do
Gojipedia staff are regarded as trusted editors, and should not abuse their tools in any way; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism, or use their blocking tool to block a user they have a dispute with. Their tools should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. If a staff member presents irresponsible behavior or violates the wiki's rules, a demotion may be considered depending on the violation and its severity. Members demoted for rule violations and/or irresponsible behavior will need to wait some time before re-applying for their position and prove to the administration that they have improved their behavior. Staff members can resign from their positions, or request to be demoted to a lower position, if they wish.
Ideally, the bureaucrats and admins of the site shouldn't be considered "in charge." The ideal Gojipedia staff member is simply someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Gojipedia community.
