Speculation protection I understand that certain pages on the 'Pedia are protected to avoid people spamming about speculation and duplicate information for Gen V and I assume that the Archives are locked for the same reason but I was wondering if it would be possible to unlock some of these features for users who have been good editors for a long time and who should be trusted to know not to speculate on pages... or at least understand the serious consequences they could incur by screwing up.

The word "quadragonal" is the only word with "dragon" in it where "dragon" is not a root word. That makes it awesome.
Re: Speculation protection There's like 6 of them. Besides... I just want to edit the archives :'(
Re: Speculation protection So do I, but I guess we'll just have to wait it out...
...or you can ask about it. I do believe that the Archives accept applications year round.
Nope, that's Bulbanews, the Library & Content, and the Roleplay District. Sorry.
I'm also trying to upload a picture of an experience point graph onto the Archives, but that's no good either.

Re: Speculation protection In regards to that, only Bulbanews accepts applications year round. :B

Re: Speculation protection According to the 2010 Staff Recruitment Drive thread, the Roleplay District also accepts them year round.
I wasn't here for it, but I did read it.
They're planning to set up the Library again, according to this post. If that does happen, you can bet I'll pounce on the opportunity. :P

Re: Speculation protection Things change, I do believe Aie knows what he's talking about.
Re: Speculation protection I know for a fact that the RPG stuff doesn't (*waves* Hi. RPG Head = Me.), but I'm pretty sure the L&C head doesn't want anymore applications for now.

Re: Speculation protection Bulbanews doesn't accept applications... if you want to be a writer you have to write for it and if you want to write a column you have to start out by writing a column. If you ask we'll help you out (like some of our newer columnists) but we don't award powers based on an application saying "can I be staff?"
...I could have sworn I told Archaic to take that out of the notice when we were hiring.
In other news, anyone wanna help write for Bulbanews? D:
Re: Speculation protection I believe so too. I was just pointing out where I got my own information from.
Who is the L&C head, anyway? It didn't appear on the recruitment post - it just said "???".
Okay, gotcha. So it's not actually true.
Sorry, I don't have any connections D:In other news, anyone wanna help write for Bulbanews? D:

Re: Speculation protection I'm pretty sure Archaic doesn't want the L&C head being revealed quite yet for some reason or another.

Re: Speculation protection Oh. I just thought there wasn't one yet.
The word "quadragonal" is the only word with "dragon" in it where "dragon" is not a root word. That makes it awesome.
Re: Speculation protection Sure! When do I start? :D
...anyways, I think some of the protection is overdone, but it is better than being underdone.
Re: Speculation protection Yeah, I wish I could edit a few things as well...
But for now, maybe you could just report some of the things you want to edit to the suggestion/idea/problem thread if they're a bit serious. Or if they're just small ones, just wait until editing is open again.
Re: Speculation protection Given that editing is currently unlocked, then we have talk pages for a reason. If anyone thinks that they deserve the privilege of being a Junior Admin then they need to show they deserve it. If you're seen as consistently being a good nut, then you've got a chance. Otherwise, you'll probably get incinerated or something.
Squirrel. Doompity doo. Yeah.
