Ok I was intending both of the cases but that's more clear. |

No that's not the issue. The issue is that if you want that global moderators |
| 13 |
have the right to vote (that was the main request done iirc), then they must |
| 14 |
be official staff, and to be that, they need to take the quiz. |
| 15 |
Having some global mods staff (just because they are mods, not because they |
| 16 |
are staff for other means) and some not, will confuse the userbase. |
| 17 |
As we said, most of the global mods are already staff so already have the |
| 18 |
right to vote, so if you don't want to change this, there's nothing to |
| 19 |
discuss about: if an individual wants the right to vote, it just needs to be |
| 20 |
staff for other reasons. |

If you want that "Global Moderator == Offical Staff", you need that all of |
| 23 |
them take the quiz and become official staff. |

As I said above, if you want project global mods to be considered staff for |
| 29 |
the own sake of being global mods, it's an all or nothing for me. |

For local moderator, yes. As for ATs. |
| 34 |
But it's clear to user that bug-wranglers or ATs aren't Official Staff: |

" A note about arch testers "status": Gentoo/AMD64 Arch Testers are not |
| 36 |
official Gentoo developers. They are, however, a recognized part of the |
| 37 |
Gentoo/AMD64 arch team. I ask that all AT's keep this in mind when selecting |
| 38 |
email signatures or other forms of communication. " [1] |
