The Sims Wiki:Content moderators

The moderator user role gives users additional powers beyond those held by regular users or rollbackers, but fewer powers than those granted to administrators. There are two moderator user roles on The Sims Wiki - Chat Moderator and Content Moderator.

Chat moderator
Chat moderators (or chat mods) have moderator privileges on The Sims Wiki Chat, including the ability to kick or ban users who are engaged in disruptive behavior. By default, all administrators also hold chat moderator privileges in chat, but there are some non-administrators who also fill this role.

Content moderator
Content moderators (or content mods) have moderator privileges over pages on The Sims Wiki. Content moderators automatically have access to the rollback tool. Content mods can delete, un-delete, and move/rename pages or files. Content mods can also edit, delete, or move/rename pages that have been semi- or fully-protected, and can change a page's level of protection. These tools allow content mods to address vandalism more directly than a regular user or rollbacker can by, for example, deleting spam pages or by protecting a frequently-vandalized page from further vandalism.

Rights and responsibilities
Users who hold these roles are expected to use the powers granted by them responsibly, and in accordance with wiki policies and guidelines, community consensus and standards, and as specified by administrators. Users are expected to act in an unbiased fashion, and not to use these powers to benefit themselves. Moderators who abuse the powers granted by their role(s) are at risk of having those powers removed, in addition to other potential consequences as determined on a case-by-case basis by the community and/or the administrative team.

Becoming a moderator
Moderator candidates are expected to be active participants in Wiki Chat or The Sims Wiki (for chat moderators or content moderators, respectively). Aside from this, there are no concrete requirements for achieving moderator rights. Moderator rights are awarded after a successful application or nomination at The Sims Wiki:Requests for moderatorship; applications/nominations are decided by community discussion and consensus, so all applicants or nominees for these roles need to have a positive and long-standing relationship with the chat and/or wiki communities in order to be successfully promoted.
