I’m hearing the word Patroller for the first time or may be never been concerned about this type of question on the forum.
A Patroller has restricted Moderator rights , as far i know they can move posts (and maybe Topics) to the Trashcan also i guess it depends on the Rank from where the post or Topic is made.
Since you are a patroller and you already know how to perform the moderation activity then why is it you are not authorised for the above Junior member ranks moderation or activity checks?
EFS is not a Patroller , he is a Staff Member (known as a Moderator) , a Moderator has more rights for doing stuff specialy in his Board.
Also do you get to read some sort of tutorial before you can work as staff member on the forum. As far as I have read others the selection is through DT members list who can become staff ahead right?
To work as or to get a Moderator , Staff Member is the decision of theymos and maybe also Cyrus.
It has nothing to do with the DT Members List that you can become a Staff Member and it also has nothing to do with the Rank.
For example Halab wasnt a Legendary Member and in the DT 1 when he was become and get the Moderator Rolle.
