PS IMO there already are way too many features
available to the
greenest of newbies. It would be nice if we started off new accounts
with basic features and automatically added more features based on the
number of edits that user has made and the age of the user account
(maybe have three feature-set levels: novice, intermediate and old
hand). I fear that having too many features is intimidating to many
non-technical new users. I'm also a wee bit apprehensive that new
users would abuse features we might otherwise want to give to many
users (such as the limited rollback feature described above).
However, after the Lir fiasco I'm no longer in favor of automatically granting
pure meta-level powers to users. Old hands can and should continue to ask and
be invited to ask about being Admins.
Thanks for this great work, but I think you should have stopped before
"PS".
I think we should eliminate the "rollback" feature, and other features,
*for everyone*, if they turn out to be a problem, long before we start
considering making a hierarchy such as you suggest. This is a wiki,
remember!
