{{closed|res|2=LostInRiverview has posted the following conclusions:
# ''Should current rollbackers be automatically promoted?'' - It looks as though there is a general agreement against automatic promotion, but support for some framework for current rollbackers to more easily transition to content mod, either through an opt-in process or a simplified application.
# ''What process should requests for content mod rights follow?'' - It seems as though there is support for a system based on the RfA process, though with expectations tailored towards the "entry level" nature of the position when compared to administrator promotions.
# ''Should rollback rights be a prerequisite for applying for CM rights?'' - There is consensus in opposition to having rollback be a prerequisite for content moderator rights.
# ''Should CM rights be a prerequisite for applying for administrator rights?'' - I hesitate to call it a consensus, but there generally seems to be support for having content mod as a prerequisite for administrator.
# ''Should CMs be given a special color?'' - There is consensus in favor of providing a special color for content moderators.
As there has not been any significant additions to the discussion (re. the thing about warning templates, the rules have changed in the meantime and all users are free to use the warning templates unless otherwise specified), I'm closing this as favourable. A content moderator project page may be created. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 21:53, January 9, 2018 (UTC)}}
[[w:User blog:DaNASCAT/Introducing New Moderator Opportunities For Community Administration|Last month, Wikia implemented changes to some user rights groups]]. These changes include adding additional rights and renaming the Moderator group (which isn't used on The Sims Wiki), and creating a new user rights group called "Content Moderators." Content Moderators can be viewed as occupying a middle ground between rollbacks and administrators; Content Moderators can delete and undelete pages, protect and unprotect pages, suppress redirect on pagemoves, move and reupload files, and use the rollback tool. Notably absent from the Content Moderator's tool chest is the ability to block and unblock users, the ability to edit MediaWiki pages, the power to adjust user rights, and chat moderator rights.

:::Such a discussion would probably go at [[Forum:Changing the warning template]], but I am inclined to ditch the whole fiasco of only administrators being allowed to issue high-level warnings. Wikipedia doesn't forbid anyone from using the higher-level warnings, so it makes no sense that we somehow need to be different. If you use it correctly, then the point comes across to the user that they're about to be blocked; if you don't, the person who issued the warning is at fault. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 12:32, August 27, 2016 (UTC)
::::'''Bump''' — Anymore thoughts on this, or have we reached a consensus yet?
:::::'''Bump''' — You know sometimes I have days where I feel that I should just draw a conclusion myself. But doing so would leave me with a guilty feeling, as I just can't trust myself to do that, and then have others say to me that I shouldn't do it. And in any case, I don't really want to draw the consensus since I haven't actually taken that sort of action before, and I don't feel that this is the sort of situation where I want to turn my pattern of not being the one to draw the conclusion around. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 23:34, October 25, 2016 (UTC)
::::::I think content mod is a great idea, a stepping stone to an admin is a good idea, it should be between Rollback and admin, and yeah. Working 9-5 [[User:TheOneFootTallBrickWall|TheOneFootTallBrickWall]] ([[User talk:TheOneFootTallBrickWall|talk]]) 01:14, November 7, 2016 (UTC)
