Indeed it does.
Although we supervisors are unpaid volunteers on site, all our actions are for the community of WikiAnswers.
Be it blocking a vandal or editing a question or answer, these are classed as community service.
Yes, a supervisor on WikiAnswers can indeed be blocked. If a supervisor breaks the Terms of Use agreement for WikiAnswers, he or she is in danger of being blocked from contributing to the site - just as with any other user. A normal supervisor will not have the rights to block a fellow supervisor. Community Assistants only would have that option.
No, you don't. Being a Supervisor is a volunteer position.
Being a supervisor on WikiAnswers is a very interesting job. Being a supervisor involves overseeing an area of your expertise, and also just keeping the sight in tip top shape to provide the best user experience possible not only to you, but the rest of WikiAnswers.
You can sign up, which gives you the privilege of helping the WikiAnswers community in several ways giving you certain abilities. Some abilities require being a special member like a Supervisor, WikiGuide, etc.
Being a WikiAnswer Supervisor has its moments. Also, reaching a goal is always fun!
In real life, someone who is below a supervisor are the people being supervised, such as the workers. On WikiAnswers, supervisorship is one step above being a contributor
Those who attempt to do more vandalism, spamming etc., should be reported to a Supervisor or Community Assistant. If he or she is accessing the site through another IP should be reported to as I said before, a Supervisor or Community Assistant.
Yes, Category Supervisors and Floating Supervisors can change their Supervisor status by contacting a Community Assistant.
A Supervisor can be a Supervisor for however long he or she wants until the Supervisor deletes his/her account, is blocked or demoted for violating rules, or wants to quit being a Supervisor. If a supervisor remains inactive for a certain amount of time, he/she may have their supervisor powers taken away until he/she contributes again.
Being a Senior Supervisor, in and of itself, does not give a volunteer supervisor any special capabilities.
An Opinion...Banning those that feel it is acceptable to abuse the website and its members.
Yes, it is but you just can not say so, you must prove it.
