What is Admin and what does it do?
Admin is the group of people who have, well, administrative access to the Grey Tower message boards and website, for the purpose of adding new members, making updates, and (occasionally) enforcing our rules of conduct. Admin members act as our representatives to new members, casual visitors, and representatives of other sites, so politeness and good conduct is an essential part of our job. (People’s first impressions of the Grey Tower are often shaped by the contact with one or more Admin members.) Because the Grey Tower’s organization is modeled (with some changes) on the White Tower of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time books, each Admin position has a corresponding role IC. For example, the Mistress of Novices is responsible (as Admin) for screening new membership applications and handling Raisings. She is also responsible (IC) for assigning Novices and Accepted to their rooms, punishing those who break the rules, and various other duties that appear only in roleplay.
