Admins are in charge of directing the site (membership, site design, banning, staff promotions, etc.). They are the 
9
final word on site policy and are responsible for bettering the site by spearheading projects and delegating tasks

Mods can directly watch the forums and community to enforce admin decisions and bring up topics from the 
16
community to the admins they delete things most times, based on admin policy Carry out projects. Be the 
17
dragons to administrators. Direct enforcement that isn't banning; "moderation" of user behavior. In practical 
18
terms, primary responsibility for deleting pages (admins can also do this). Mods should be able to delegate to SS

they can set minor site policy in line with the major admin decisions Mods should be expected to have input on

site policy, even though admins determine direction & make final decisions. A mod that isn't giving policy input

INDETERMINATE POSITION CURRENTLY LABELED SENIOR STAFF

34
Staff carrying out the low level site policy that needs to be done frequently and providing good opinions and 
35
being relatively active to do it all. Writing is generally a plus, but we don't want to be all writers and lose out on 
36
competent folks who don’t write here. Staff are more specialized and can be trusted to watch over specific

portions of the site.
