There are basically 2 different ideas behind the system.
=Overview=
First to reduce the power of some very annoying people who do more harm than good to AniDB or are just a pest to deal with.
The two main goals of the the user levels system are:
Second to give some trustworthy users more responsibility in areas where they might be useful to the whole of AniDB. This is meant to speed up the process of creqs and keep the overall quality of the ever increasing data constant and maybe improve it even.

The information on this page needs to be updated to reflect the current status of AniDB.
Remove this message when done.

Overview

The two main goals of the the user levels system are:

  • First to reduce the power of some very annoying people who do more harm than good to AniDB, or are just a pest to deal with
  • Second to give some trustworthy users more responsibility in areas where they might be useful to the whole of AniDB. This is meant to speed up the process of creqs and keep the overall quality of the ever increasing data constant and maybe improve it even.

To achieve those goals, a user level system was implemented. Every user has a primary role, and can also gain secondary role(s).

Possible primary roles are: (sorted from lowest to highest)

  1. Blacklisted User (unused)
  2. Restricted User
  3. Newbie (unused)
  4. Beginner (unused)
  5. Limited User
  6. User
  7. Advanced User
  8. Mod
  9. Senior Mod
  10. Admin

Primary Roles

Primary Roles (Demotions)

Level -2 - Blacklisted User (currently inactive)

Users who have shown they are incapable to be of any use to anyone, and are also annoying/disrespectful/rule-breaking/etc on the forums, end up here.

This level is manually enforced by mods.

Rights

  • moderate user (delete accounts)
  • add new secondary and primary roles
  • other stuff mere mortals can only dream of

Secondary Roles

All secondary roles skip the need for a creq where it would be required; the change may be filed as a mod edit instead. So, where it says an anime maintainer can edit anime, it is implied that an anime maintainer can edit anime with changes going through as mod edits instead of regular creqs; in essence, they're mod rights insofar as the actions described for each role are concerned.
