| + | #REDIRECT [[AoPS Wiki:Community]] |
| − | There are four types of members on the [[Art of Problem Solving]]-[[MathLinks]] forums.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Regular member
| |
| − | # Moderator
| |
| − | # Administrator | |
| − | # Bot

| − | === Regular Member ===
| |
| − | A regular member has the basic abilities on the forum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Moderator ===
| |
| − | Every forum has at least one moderator (with the exception of the <url>index.php?f=224 Test Forum</url>). The moderator of a certain forum has the ability to edit or delete any post in that forum. Additionally, the moderator can split posts from a topic, merge posts from one topic into another, move an entire thread to a different forum and lock/unlock any topic. Finally, the moderator can make topics become stickies or announcements (and vice versa).

| − | ==== Becoming a Moderator ====
| |
| − | The selection of moderators is done by the administrators. There is no set process. New moderators will be chosen only when there is a need for them such as when a new forum is built, other moderators step down, or a forum begins to require additional supervision.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The process of choosing moderators is not democratic. There is no election. The administrators choose moderators based on their trust and confidence in a member. Being a good, productive member is the best way for one to improve their likelihood of becoming a moderator.

| − | === Administrator ===
| |
| − | The full-time members of the Art of Problem Solving staff are administrators. Administrators basically have unlimited power and complete jurisdiction. The administrators include [[David Patrick]], [[Richard Rusczyk]], [[Vanessa Rusczyk]], [[Naoki Sato]] and [[Valentin Vornicu]]. Mathew Crawford has stepped down as an administrator in fall 2006.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Bot ===
| |
| − | The bots are screen names created by search engines that crawl around the website collecting data so that the [[Art of Problem Solving]]-[[MathLinks]] sites will show up in the search results of their engine.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Examples of bots are AskJeeves, GigaBlast, Yahoo! Slurp, GoogleBot, and MSNBot

| − | == Post Ranking ==
| |
| − | On the Art of Problem Solving-MathLinks website, under your username, you will find stars, as well as the name of one of the [[Millenium Problems]]. The number of stars you have, as well as the name of the Millenium Problem, depends on your post count. Here is the table that determines your "rank."
| |
| − | | |
| − | *0 - 19 New Member (Zero Stars)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *20 - 49 P versus NP (Half Star)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *50 - 99 Hodge Conjecture (One Star)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *100 - 249 Poincare Conjecture (Two Stars)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *250 - 499 Riemann's Hypothesis (Two and Half stars)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *500 - 999 Yang Mills Theory (Three Stars)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *1000 - 2499 Navier-Stroke's Equation (Four Stars)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *2500 - <math>\infty</math> Birch & Swinnerton Dyer. (Five Stars)
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Administrators have six stars.
