And to quote:

Section VI - A New Responsibility for RollbacksEdit
This essentially goes with Section V, so please I ask you to continue to bear with me. Alot of people, go "Oh Rollbacks? Psssh they don't do much, they just revert vandalism and vote on the SSC, thats nothing much and doesnt train anyone, anyone can do that". And at first you go to defend, all of us do, but then when you begin to ponder about it honestly anyone could be one. Anyone could be a Rollback. I could. Still am. Voxel could for sure, maybe not in many people's opinions be a Chat Moderator but certainly for Rollback he could do it. Because all they have is 1 small portion vote on the SSC. 1 of 9. So should Forums be turned on, I believe that the Rollbacks can in a sense "moderate" the Forums. Yes. Essentially a new position but mixed into something less than it. Forum Mod. Uh oh, Albert is being a radical communist again -Charles Lee chase scene commences-! Allow me to explain. We would allow them to moderate the Forums and it would allow them to begin preparing themselves for being a Chat Mod and eventually an Administrator if in the future there is a demotion or more preferable, a resignation. They can begin seeing what to do how to do things etc. No, they would not be able to moderate elsewhere but on the Forums, but this would allow them some power and allow us to monitor who can handle such power. Now. I must say this can only pas is if Section V passes. If it doesn't then this Section is completely invalid, but if we do turn on Forums we can also add this which can help us as a site to prepare and suit up the new generation of users who will soon may administer this site when we leave assuming our wiki is fixed. So to summarize, the Rollbacks will moderate only the Forums should Section V pass and this section along with it is passed. Once again I ask Admins to ponder about these sections especially.
