Group permissions
My suggestions can be seen here. The changes I'm proposing include:
 * Move permissions going from Users to Autoconfirmed
 * ''The requirements to become Autoconfirmed are not that stringent, "Move" vandals are some of the most obnoxious type of vandals to deal with as moves can not simply be rolled back, or undone. Requiring users to be "autoconfirmed" is the best deterrent to this form of vandalism.


 * Add abuse-filter-log viewing rights to Autoconfirmed
 * Again, the requirements to become Autoconfirmed are not that stringent. This would allow dedicated members of the community "in good standing" the added right to contribute by assisting the Adminstrators in monitoring the abuse filters for false positives.


 * Removal of blocking rights for bots
 * Bots should not be allowed to block other users.


 * Elimination of the Moderators usergroup and moving them to Administrator
 * The right to block other users is the most important right in this group. Everything else is simply to allow janitorial functions. If Moderators can be trusted to block other users, they can be trusted to do everything else an administrator does.


 * Addition of abuse-filter-log rights to Administrator
 * Allows Administrators to monitor for false positive actions.


 * Add the check user permissions to Bureaucrat by default.
 * The Bureaucrat is the top dog, most trusted leader of the wiki community. They have the power to grant all defined permissions on members of the community (as well as take them away). There is no reason to not make Check-User functions default.

 * I'm afraid that I don't know the reasons behind the current division of rights. I defer to the right honorable RJackson. I personally have no objections to your proposed user rights changes--except that I believe  (not to be confused with  !) should be granted to autoconfirmed users. These changes would grant current Moderators significantly more power, so they certainly shouldn't be implemented without RJackson's input. --Kroocsiogsi 09:52, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * You're right, I missed that one. Woops! -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:56, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Added to both Autoconfirmed and Administrator. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
