Sysadmins, also known as [[Wikipedia:system administrators|system administrators]], serve an important role on maintaining the Weird Gloop wikis. They are the only paid members of the Weird Gloop wikis, working as independent contractors responsible for the technical setup and upkeep of the Weird Gloop server systems. For this reason they are additionally held accountable to the board and expected to follow its directives. Due to this conflict of interest, they are unable to serve as board members, but are retained as the board sees fit to provide technical advice. |
