"Sysops" are the equivalent of administrators on other types of web services. On Conservapedia, Sysops have the ability to protect/unprotect pages, edit protected pages, move pages, block/unblock users, mediate and resolve disputes.

Duties and Authority

  • Unlike Wikipedia, we do not block for ideological reasons. Warnings are appropriate, not for obscenity (Which is a block-able offense without warning.), but for silliness and other problems. In rare cases, our approach to repeated ideological conflict is to lock the page, and then allow the group of Sysops to make changes on a manual basis based upon suggestions on the Talk page. Unceasing reverts of articles, "tit for tat" editing and argument without end, on points contrary to the Conservapedia philosophy, a pattern of continued use of vulgar or sexually based words, all are cause for blocking a user. Repeated name calling and insults are disruptive to the site and could result in a block as well. Sysops and Bureaucrats are the Administrators of Conservapedia. Their instructions, as to Conservapedia policy and/or the appropriateness or inappropriateness of user actions, are to be followed.
  • A block is to be respected both by the recipient and by others with blocking privileges. Undoing someone else's block can result in a loss of blocking privileges. The proper approach to a questionable block is to ask the person who implemented it to reconsider.

Promotion

Sysops are selected as needed from the best of the best contributors, there is no popularity contest to determine promotion.
