The Rangers

Rangers serve and protect the community in a vital way. They watch for metaphorical "forest fires" started by:

  1. Vandals intentionally causing damage.
  2. New members accidentally doing serious harm.
  3. Unexpected technical problems.

Whether accidental or intentional, fires need to be put out before they get out of control. Therefore we need a Ranger on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Ranger Corps is divided into seven teams, one for each day of the week. For fun, the teams have adopted mascots. Click the badge to see the Rangers who wear it.

The leaders will communicate with the interested member why they may not be a good fit at the current time and what they can do to be considered in the future.

Instructions for Rangers

The work of a Ranger isn't complicated. It's quite easy. While on duty they monitor activity feeds.

When you join the Ranger Corps we will send you the links and current instructions. Although these instructions aren't super-secret, we don't publish them because we don't want to make it any easier for vandals by publicizing what we're currently watching.

Contact a Ranger

Rangers are usually behind the scenes. If you have a question or need help it's generally better to ask in G2G or contact a Mentor. If you have a problem with what another member is doing, start at Help:Problems with Members.

If you notice spam or vandalism and it needs urgent attention, please follow the instructions on Help:Emergency_Blocks.
