:::::::I think having an opt-in option would be better than having an opt-out option. Because I'm sure that not all of our current roll-backers would be terribly keen on being given content moderator rights automatically after a certain date. Just because our current roll-backers don't opt-out doesn't necessarily mean that they'd be keen on being automatically promoted. Even when some users like myself have difficulty in believing this, you get some users that are neither keen to be automatically promoted, nor keen in explicitly stating whether or not they would be interested in being automatically promoted. So I think that to be promoted to content moderator, a roll-backer would have to explicitly declare their interest in being promoted, and to retain their ability to apply for admin-ship. ― '''[[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>]]) 22:46, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
{{od|:::::::}}
Just to sum up where the conversation seems to be right now:
# ''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.

I never did give my own answers to the questions I outlined.
1) I disagree with automatic promotion, though I would like to see some framework to enable rollbackers to apply for content mod without having to go through a full RfA-like process. The process I'd envision for current rollbackers is basically an application - the rollbacker posts a request, and users/admins have a certain amount of time to weigh in and, if they so choose, oppose the request. If there is no opposition within the set time limit, the rollbacker will be promoted without the need for a full drawn-out request. If there is opposition, it can then progress to a full discussion following whatever framework we lay down.
2) I believe we should follow the same process as currently laid down for RfAs - 5 day minimum discussion, consensus necessary for a promotion, etc. - but steer away from the same requirements in order to be considered a good candidate. We should focus on this being a position to entice current rollbackers since that seems to be the target audience anyways at this point. As such, we don't need to require the same depth and breadth of activity and experience that we expect from admin candidates.
3) No
4) Yes
5) I have no strong feelings one way or the other. However, if we do adopt a special color for CMs, I believe we should give them the current color assigned to admins, and have admins and bureacurats share the same color instead of having separate colors for admins and b'crats (as this reinforces the idea that bureaucrats and admins are different when, in most cases that are relevant to the average user, they're the same thing)
