7. The [[Lowest Troll]] terminology is to be preferred to any that elevates or seems to worship the final-resort sysop (the term [[GodKing]], like "[[politically correct]]", seems to provide a kind of authority to the stupid, even though it was originally intended to mock the level of power or pressure involved).

On some wikis, the term [[sysops]] is equivalent to [[power structure]].  This is because the sysops manage (control) the wiki.  On Consumerium, the [[sysops]] will be limited to [[cleaning]] duties, such as defending against [[vandalism]].  Hence, on Consumerium, it is hoped that [[sysops]] will not be a [[power structure]].  This will require [[eternal vigiliance]] and [[permanent revolution]] on behalf of the user base, and if a [[power structure]] begins to emerge, the users will take their content and move elsewhere.
