:I told him to learn better English before editing and to read the rules and stuff on his messages. Then he messaged me a little while after, telling me " F you, asshole" on my messages. Then he stopped editing, and I was trying to deal with the whole hugo gomez thing, and then he came back. I told him basically the same thing as before on his messages, and then he called me a "useless MFer" on my messages.[[User:HoboHunter28|HoboHunter28]] 21:51, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

You can absolutely do all that already! You can fix articles, go around fixing images, write [[Policy]] and style guides for articles, and even create and lead [[Grand Theft Wiki:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Projects]]. The only difference is that Staff have a delete button instead of using the {{template|delete}} template, and they can block users and lock pages. To be trusted with those tools, you need to understand this wiki inside-out, and you need to make a long-term commitment to this wiki, so it's not going to be possible to trust a member with under 500 edits with those tools. You can still run this wiki without having a delete button. If you need the delete & block buttons to spearhead cleanup projects, then you're doing it wrong.

:I understand, but being staff isn't about telling people what to do. We're just normal member with a couple of extra buttons. People have to follow the rules, not just the staff. All you have to do is come up with a good plan, and people will help out - it doesn't matter if you're staff or not. Of course some people will still cause trouble, and the staff can deal with that. But you don't need to be staff to run those cleanup projects. If you think you need a staff badge for people to listen to you, then you aren't being very convincing.
