::::I should add, I don't think that anyone who is not responsible enough to know when to delete or not delete a page would have ever been given rollback rights in the first place. Rollback and delete tools both have a potential for abuse, which is why rights requests safeguards are put in place at all, but if a user is shown to be capable handing rollback, I don't see why a few additional tools increase the risk of abuse. If I ever had any doubt about a user's capabilities to handle a few basic tools, I certainly would've spoken out in opposition to awarding even rollback permissions. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 04:07, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
:::::Personally I don't have any problems with allowing our current active roll-backers to be automatically promoted to content moderator, since only a handful of our roll-backers have been active lately anyway. This is a trust issue, and I do trust our current active roll-backers to be able to handle the tools of content moderator-ship without misusing them or abusing them. If they do abuse or misuse their tools repeatedly, which I doubt will be the case, we can always demote them later, even if it does require a bit of consensus to get them demoted.
:::::Initially I was hesitant to support the idea of automatically promoting our current active roll-backers to content moderator, but I think in fairness, they should be promoted to content moderator to retain the ability to apply for admin-ship, and not have to jump so far to make it there. I know that what I'm about to mention isn't quite the same, but before we just had full fledged administrators, we had fanon administrators as well, and from what I've read upon, fanon administrators were just administrators that were restricted to administrating the fanon namespace.
:::::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)
