Supervisors are chosen either for their knowledge posted in their answers, or for their conduct. I, personally was chosen because of my extensive knowledge of reptiles. I had NO idea people were actually monitoring my contributions - until I received a message asking if I'd like to be a supervisor !
Yes, and no. Any person can ask to become a supervisor or be recommended by someone else. Often Supervisors recommend, but anyone in the Community can make such a suggestion. However, not everyone who is recommended is automatically made a supervisor. Wikianswers has two programs that help contributors learn how to become supervisors, and then they learn under a Mentor as well. If they demonstrate good leadership abilities and use the tools correctly, then they are advanced to a Supervisor position. However, some people don't complete the process or don't go on to become a Super. You can make a recommendation to Mr. James Sarino through his message board.
If you have any questions on WikiAnswers, you should contact a supervisor or write to wikianswers @ answers.com (remove spaces).
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.
