We have a request on de: from a experienced user who didn't like the sysop-job but now, after being de-sysoped, misses the SQL functions very much.
What is "the sysop-job"?
I'm a sysop on [[en:]], and I don't have to do anything except to behave well (to not abuse the sysop powers). Do sysops on [[de:]] have to do chores?
Some sysops on [[en:]] only use certain powers and never others; for example, I never use SQL functions since I don't know SQL.
SQL is very useful, especially if search is off or you're searching for spelling-mistakes or HTML-tables. But SQL-Queries can cause heavy load for the server, so it would also be good to seperate sysop and sql-rights and make them depending of the user's knowledge.
