:::::I kinda see Content Moderators like that, except that instead of having the permissions to administrate the main namespace like fanon administrators, do despite fanon administrators not having the authority to do it, Content Moderators don't have the permissions that allow them to do half of the things that administrators can do, like blocking and unblocking users, or editing the user interface. There are also several other privileges that are extended to administrators that are not extended to content moderators. Privileges that I would have frowned upon, if content moderators had them and we decided to automatically promote our active roll-backers to content moderator. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:28, August 13, 2016 (UTC) |

::::::Automatically promoted to content moderators? Hmm... I don't think they should be grandfathered in, but they should be given the a way of easily being promoted. I'm not sure how exactly. Maybe an opt-in option? I know some have mentioned an opt-out approach. I'm not saying for or against either one, but if we say that active users can opt-out being promoted until a curtain date, that would mean that an active user who for what ever reason doesn't reply would automatically be promoted. Whereas with an opt-in approach, a user would have to express the desire to be promoted to CM. Hmm... Just brainstorming, but there should be something less of a blanket than automatic promotion. |

::::::Rollback rights be a prerequisite? No. Don't need another loop to jump. If we really needed to filter users who wanted to get more user rights, then I would be for it. As the case is now, we are basically lacking users from looking for user rights. In fact, I don't really see that many new users joining as it is, which leads to few to replace those who leave. |

::::::CM rights be a prerequisite for applying for administrator rights? Maybe? While I am not for making the path more complicated and long, CM seems to be a good stepping stone for admin. |

::::::A "special color"? Sure. Why not? I have wondered why it isn't that way with rollbackers as well, but that's a whole different matter. The only reason I find it useful is that I don't always remember who is what (as in what user rights they have). But I can see the reason for not having it because then it sort of leads people to assume that CM are more important than other users or at least are the users to ask if you need or notice something, and a rollbacker wouldn't be much help to a regular user. However, a CM might be because they have some abilities like deleting pages. I guess I'm on the wall about this one too.
