Please see the rest of my previous post. We have not proposed to make |
22 |
global moderators official staff without taking the quiz. What we have |
23 |
said is that future global mods should become official staff and hence |
24 |
take the quiz, but we want the current mods to be able to choose not to |
25 |
become official staff but still be able to remain moderator. Should anyone |
26 |
decide that's want they want, they will not become official staff and |
27 |
hence not get any voting rights. |

I'd say that any user seeing his bug being RESOLVED DUPLICATE sees that |
41 |
action as an official one even if it was a non-staffer who marked it such. |
