I've read through the link and through a large chunk of the comments. From what I understand, the purpose is to take some of the load off of the Admins by giving trusted users Sysop powers without actually giving them the authority of one? After sifting through the arguments, I have concluded that this isn't necessary.

If the purpose is to split up rights and privleges given to trusted users (making mini-Admins that take the load off of Atve's back when he's not around--God knows he needs it--I believe we have tried something like that already, albeit not involving sysop editing rights. Remember the guilds? Granted, it may not have worked out the way we wanted and more oppurtunities to bear our own weight would be fantastic, but I don't think that's a problem that can be solved by creating another position that would only open a can of policy-ridden worms. The problem lies in that we need more people editing and any help anyone can contribute would be more help than this.

My two cents anyway. I admit there may be a lot of technicalities I am not aware of (I was never good at understanding all of that) and I am open to a well-reasoned and civilized retort, but to be frank, this just doesn't feel right for us. We handle fine without stuff like this, don't we?
