An Elite:
- Dictator-for-life: Jimbo Wales (controls URLs,
bandwidth, machines; sets policy)
- Developers: can delete or alter any page, any
time, without a trace! same for blocking, promoting, renaming users)
- Sysops: can delete pages or protect them from the
lower classes; can see everyone IP's, block IP's of anyone.
A Lower-class:
- Signed-in users and anonymous - can see everyone
IP's. Can be blocked by any sysop.
I'd really rather that the sysops were Bourgeoisie (middle class). And to make that really work, we need to promote more people to that level. It's an elite now only because it's too dam' small. Frankly, I almost agree with Ed's old idea of forced promotions.
