User Groups

Some people may have a hard time understanding what the user groups are here on WiiUsers. This section will help you understand everyones role on this website.

Site Administators- Mikus & Schizophrenic

Mikus - First and foremost, this person runs the website, on the exterior part of WiiUsers. Don't get what I mean? Ever notice the Layout, all the nifty little icons and features you get on here? That is done by him. He also play a major role on this website and should only be approached if there are any major website issues or problems.

Schizophrenic - Pretty much is a general Administrator, besides the fact that he does the inside work on the awards system. But don't worry, Jarrett will still be managing everything on the outside of that, if you know what I mean.

Forum Administrators- Pit, Jarrett & Kiba

Second of all, these people manage all Forums, awards, usergroups, users and much more. Only contact these Forum Administrators if you have major problems regarding any of these issues.

Chief Editors- Jules & Yamato

These people come the next in line, they are responsible for both aspects of the website. , Graphics and Media. But just as they help each other run both categories of WiiUsers, each of them play a specific role. Also they are Global Moderators, so you may ask them any questions pertaining to them (See Global Moderators below)

Jules- He is the main person to go to when it comes to questions or concerns about the Media Team. Make sure you ask him only if it concerns that in particular.

Yamato- He is the main person to go to when it comes to questions or concerns about the Graphics Team. Make sure you ask him only if it concerns that in particular.

Don't forget to remember this information. The two of us run both groups, but each of us are in charge of our respective group.

Global Moderators- Jeffy & TehLink

What's after the Chief Editors? Global Moderators of course. They patrol the forums making sure that every member follows the rules, and are not restricted to certain forums. All issues with Members or threads should be reported to them.

Local Moderators- BATMAN, duke_fan13, Kairi, Smith & SuperT

And what's after the Global Moderators? Local Moderators of course. These guys/gals are like a Global Moderator except for that they are restricted to patrolling one part of the site instead of all of it. They each control their area making sure members follow the rules. An issue with a member or thread in an area where one of them are present should be reported to them.

Graphics Team- Bluestrat, Kairi, Link & TehLink

These people are responsible for any and everything Graphics related. They do things like banners, signatures, buttons, awards, basically anything that has to do with Image making. Yamato (see Chief Editors to view his information) is the head of this group.

Media Team
- Ichigo, KirbyPunk, CosGrove, Sora & Toxic

These people are responsible for all the writing material on WiiUsers. Material such as Articles, Reviews, Guides, talk to them if you want a certain article, review, or guide written. Jules (see Chief Editors to view his information) is the head of this group.
