Research has no control, only [[controll]] which is a [[tensegrity]] between the [[Research:sysop]], [[Research:editor]] and [[Research:troll]]s.

They do not [[debate]], leaving this to [[faction]]s. Discussion is limited to questions, not [[advocacy]]. No one may advocate a position using an editor nor a sysop account. | |||
== taking editor role means losing sysop role, and vice versa == | |||
As they edit facts from [[researcher]]s, [[trolls]] and [[anonymous edit]]s, they will become annoyed. Despite that, editors cannot come to any conclusions whatsoever about the nature or intent of the persons they deal with. Accordingly it is dangerous to let them [[block IP]] or perform other [[operational distinction]]s since they will inevitably confuse those roles with their editorial role. Accordingly they rely on the [[Research:sysop]] for these things, but must have an [[arms-length relationship]]. Since the sysop can [[block IP]] of [[spambot]]s and ordinary obvious [[vandal]]s, but must leave [[trolls]] entirely alone to form [[faction]]s, it is quite dangerous to let editors tell sysops what to do: | |||
Any [[large public wiki]] has [[faction]]s, but [[Consumerium itself]] is especially reliant on them for training, recruitment and debate, in the same way as a parliament relies on every [[political party]] to drive its debates. A '''sysop''' must not interfere with this. | |||
Accordingly the sysop and editor functions are kept separate - to take an editor function implies giving up all power to do [[technological escalation]], while, to accept that power means to give up all editorial input at all. | |||
== versus Publish or Develop policy == | |||
The [[Publish:administrator]] by contrast has much more specific [[Publish:administrator guidelines]] that are suitable to managing an orderly publication by a responsible party. And, also by contrast the other way, the [[Lowest Troll]] and [[trollish]] is about the only way that the [[Develop Wiki]] is "managed" at all. The high level of chaos seems to be creative and effective - resulting of course in the design of [[Consumerium:itself]]. | |||
