What are all the levels of authority on Answers starting at the bottom and working up to the top?

Answer 1

All volunteer supervisors have the same authority. Some with additional expertise, spheres of interest or experience may be given additional powers for the purpose of editing the site. In addition other titles may be given such as Senior Supervisor, Mentor, Senior Mentor etc. Such additional titles do not confer more authority but indicate someone with more experience or special knowledge to whom other supervisors can go to to ask for advice or clarification about wikianswers procedures.

Above the supervisors are the Community Advisor's and Managers, abbreviated to CAs, paid employees of the company.

From the bottom to the top:

Community:

• Expert Contributors (who are not also supervisors)

Staff

• Trainee Supervisors (those who have not graduated from the Mentoring Program)

• Senior Advanced Supervisors and Program Supervisors (Program Supervisors apply to the TIP, WIT and SPA programs)

Most roles can be identified by the badges on their profiles. However not all roles have an official badge.
