“ | Part of the reason it's important that people like you become sysops
is to help us keep it from being a status thing. It's a technical thing, not a status thing. Or it's supposed to be. But as long as we have a small number of sysops, it's too tempting for "us" to feel that we have to keep a special watch on "them" in a way that's very un-wiki. Being a sysop is only a status thing in the sense that it means that you're trusted not to post obscene material on the homepage, to use certain destructive commands only in accordance with long-established custom, if at all, and that you'll help police against vandals in a gentle and caring way. |
