#'''Strong Support''' As everyone else has said. Also I made the initial drafts of this so why wouldn't I support this.

#'''Support''' There's people such as myself who want to deal with vandals quickly, but can only do so much with rollback. This would be the way for those people to be able to have what they need. (Now, I could just be paraphrasing this in my own little way, but still.)

#:I intentionally lowered their powers to the point where just about all they can do is revert vandalism. Their only 3 advantages over Rollback are deleting pages with small histories (yes, that restriction can be implemented), protecting pages (which they can't edit when fully protected), and suspending users (not same as block, read article).

#'''Neutral leaning towards Support''' I found out that a lot of the recent RfAs were from people who just want to combat vandalism. Most of them don't even know how to handle editing disputes.

#'''Neutral''' for now: I'm not fully sure about this proposal, so have some thoughts.<br />If I'm not mistaken, this policy's goal is giving more users a more effective way to deal with vandals, since right now non-admins can only undo, rollback and mark for deletion, and therefore have no way to actually stop an ongoing vandal attack.<br />The main issue is the low power gap between this and full adminship; therefore, in order to widen said gap, let's see how actually useful would the powers proposed by this policy be.<br />- '''restore''': completely unneeded, as regular users cannot delete pages and previous versions of files are kept.<br />- '''delete''': not fully needed since pages can be simply blanked and possibly marked for deletion and deleted by an admin later. This means more janitorial work for full admins but is relevant to widen the power gap. I don't see spam pages and files causing actual problems by merely existing, unless they contain illegal material. A truly dedicated vandal could also edit a page more than six times to give it a big history and bypass this. The one use I could see for this is '''undoing malicious moves''' (is there another way?).<br />- '''lock''': relevant for stopping vandals, but could also be used to stop edit warring which (as I understand this policy) might lie outside the scope of this position. This too could be time-restricted.<br />- '''suspend''': definitely the most relevant of all; its proposed implementation seems fine but I wonder if six hours is enough to guarantee an admin's presence for a check.<br />Overall this kind of position seems a nice way to help holding back vandals. The "another group of users to never be online" criticism would not hold if the group were large enough and its users were decently distributed along time zones. Which of course is also true for full admins, which leads to Miles's criticism.<br />Hope this helps. -[[User:Menshay|Menshay]] ([[User talk:Menshay|talk]]) 12:53, 30 October 2015 (EDT)

::::Ganonmew, Toomai is normally the one that checks this stuff. Because of the new usergroup suspended, though, Porplemontage might need to also help with the CSS implementation.

At this point, consensus seems split at best and leaning towards oppose at worst. Unless anyone has any other opinions, I think we may have to reject this policy soon.
