RealCTY:Administrators

This page is about RealCTY's administrators, ie the people who have sysop rights, which allow you to do anything on RealCTY, including deleting pages, banning users, and [insert CTY inside joke here]. Only bureaucrat level admins, however, can change the user rights of other people.

Admin Guidelines

Admins with sysop privileges essentially have the power to delete pages and ban users. Admins are not expected to devote exorbitant amounts of time to the site. However, they will hopefully perform site cleanup when they have the chance, particularly with regard to grammar and page format. Here are some basic guidelines; see Help:Editing for comprehensive formatting policies.

• Delete unnecessary redirects (e.g., "Egyptian rat Screw" or "Egyptian Rat Stew"). Keep useful redirects (e.g., "Egyptian Rat Screw" or "Egyptian rat screw). Before deletion, check the "What links here" subpage, and manually alter any existing links to the deleted page.
• If a page is poorly named (e.g., bad spelling, bad titling), move it to a new title, and then delete the old page, except in the cases where redirect pages would be useful (e.g., acronym used instead of full name). Again, check the "What links here" page and manually alter links.
• If pages are uncategorized, place them in all applicable categories. Make sure that categories are listed at the bottom and that userpages, talk pages, and the like are not categorized.
• Use quotes or italics for titles as necessary.
• Use wiki-link markup for article titles.
• Use wiki tags instead of HTML tags.
• If stubs are created, either:
  • move them into the Lexicon; or
  • merge them with the proper page, or merge several stubs into a single page.
• Check the RealCTY:Policy page for general guidelines on banning users; please place the info on non-porn, non-drug bannages on the RealCTY:Community Portal page.
• Alphabetize the Lexicon.

As far as banning users and IPs is concerned:

• If an IP (oftentimes two IPs) vandalizes a page by placing porn or drug advertisements in great quantity (often invisible in the article), these IPs should be banned infinitely.
• If a user commits a violation of terms listed in RealCTY:Policy, warn them first on the RealCTY:Community Portal page and their userpages; depending on the harshness of the violation (e.g., deformatting a page being a much greater crime than insulting a specific user), the number of warnings given before banning is at the discretion of admins.
  • Warnings can also be given by short-time blockage (an hour or so).
  • Similarly, depending on the harshness of crimes, and whether or not the user has a positive contribution history, banning may last anywhere between a few hours to an infinitely long period of time.
