The site staff structure is based on the concept of "teams." Teams consist of appointed users who are in charge of particular aspects of the SCP Foundation's on- and off-site interactions. In addition, a team of Ambassadors comprised primarily of members from the SCP Foundation's sister sites also exists to be an advisory board for the site. Each team is directed by a team captain. A team captain can be any member of site staff who has been determined to be the most capable leader for the team. The team captain is responsible for ensuring that the team remains on task. Administrators can and will remove the captains of teams that are not performing their duties. Despite this, it is perfectly understandable that someone could have real-life issues, be spread too thin, or simply be found to not be a good fit for the position. A team captain's removal does not imply a blacklisting from future positions or promotions. The team captains and members have special responsibilities and powers based on their teams. The capabilities and permissions of an individual team are determined by administrators at the inception of that team. Capabilities and permissions will be added or removed if: The team requests a new permission or ability,

The team is determined to have abused a permission, or

A situation arises that requires attention, and administration determines that this team is best suited for dealing with the situation. This staff structure is designed to streamline our functions into an efficient content/skill-based system. Doing so allows us to distance ourselves from the arbitrary levels of structure imposed by Wikidot.

Staff Levels: Junior Staff – A Junior Staff member is someone who has been selected from the community to perform duties for a specific staff team(s). Junior Staff are reviewed periodically. A full description of Junior Staff guidelines can be found here. Operational Staff – An Operational Staff member is someone found to have been a useful and positive worker during their Junior Staff trial. Moderators – The Moderators are staff members who are deemed trustworthy enough to have access to the “deletion” commands for site posts and pages. Administrators – The Administrators are responsible for several tasks, including the banning of abusive members, accepting of new members to the site, and determining site policy. A set of “go-to” administrators are appointed as a liaison for each team. Often, these "go-to" administrators will be on hand to help out, help motivate, or pick up the loose ends on certain tasks. Universal Staff Powers: There are certain powers which all staff above the level of Junior Staff have, as noted here: Making Staff Posts : They are allowed to make a post with the title of "Staff Post -", followed by either "Open" (if discussion is allowed or useful) or "Closed" (when discussion is not relevant or useful.) It is a method of calling attention to themselves, making themselves heard, and ensuring that people realize they are staff. Calling Stops : A subset of the "Staff Posts" power is the ability to call stops to disruptive conversations. Note that such stops can be rolled back if Disciplinary Team members or Administrators believe the called stop was inappropriate.

: They are allowed to make a post with the title of "Staff Post -", followed by either "Open" (if discussion is allowed or useful) or "Closed" (when discussion is not relevant or useful.) It is a method of calling attention to themselves, making themselves heard, and ensuring that people realize they are staff. Voting on Deletion Posts: They can vote for or against the deletion of a page. Additional powers granted to staff may be added as necessary. Special Access: Site Ambassadors: These users are members of other SCP Foundation sites, usually translation sites, with which we desire to maintain a close working relationship. These users are not necessarily staff (though some may be, and any may become staff through the normal process), and their 'duties', as far as staff is concerned, are advisory and informational. Their input is always appreciated, but they shouldn't be bothered with the minutiae of the site unless they choose to involve themselves. Ambassadors are chosen by the administration of their own site, who directly inform our administrators of the choice, at which point, they're admitted to the site and added to the team automatically.
