== Administrators ==
'''The Administrators of Conservapedia have the ability to protect/unprotected pages, edit protected pages, move pages, block/unblock users, mediate and resolve disputes.'''
=== Duties and Authority ===
*Unlike Wikipedia, we do not block for ideological reasons. Warnings are appropriate, not for obscenity, vandalism or parody ''(Which are block-able offenses without warning.),'' but for silliness and other problems. In rare cases, our approach to repeated ideological conflict is to lock the page, and then allow the Administrator Group to make changes on a manual basis based upon submitted suggestions on the Talk page.
*Unceasing reverts of articles, "tit for tat" editing and ''argument without end'', on points contrary to the Conservapedia philosophy, a pattern of continued use of vulgar or sexually based words, all are cause for blocking a user. Repeated name calling and insults are disruptive to the site and could result in a block as well.
*'''Administrators and Bureaucrats are the final authority as to policy and procedures. ''Their instructions, as to Conservapedia policy and/or the appropriateness or inappropriateness of user actions, are to be followed.'''''
*A block is to be respected both by the recipient and by others with blocking privileges. Undoing someone else's block can result in a loss of blocking privileges. The proper approach to a questionable block is to ask the person who implemented it to reconsider.
=== Promotion ===
Administrators are selected as needed from the best of the best contributors, there is no popularity contest to determine promotion, and nominations not accepted. By your own work shall you be known.

=== If You See A Copied Article ===
If you notice someone copying from another source, please bring it to the attention of an administrator. Either he or you (see below) should put a {{tl|WP no copying}} notice on the user's talk page and delete the article. That notice explains what is allowed and not allowed, and advises that the deleted article can be undeleted if the copy is permitted as explained above. (A non-administrator can post the notice, although if the article name is included, it is worded as though an administrator posted it.)

== 90/10 Rule ==
The '''90/10 rule''', unique to [[Conservapedia]], authorizes the blocking of accounts that engage in excessive talk, bickering, [[last wordism]], and other unproductive activity. Specifically, as has been stated in the [[Conservapedia:Commandments]] since soon after the formation of [[Conservapedia]]:
The '''90/10 rule''', unique to [[Conservapedia]], ''authorizes'' the blocking of accounts that engage in excessive talk, bickering, [[last wordism]], and other unproductive activity. Specifically, as has been stated in the [[Conservapedia:Commandments]] since soon after the formation of Conservapedia:
<blockquote>"Unproductive activity, such as 90% talk page edits and only 10% quality edits to Conservapedia articles, ''may result'' in blocking of the account."</blockquote>
The 90/10 Rule applies to people who talk, talk, talk without redeeming value in the way of substantive contributions. Nothing could be simpler. Talk is a time-waster. Different viewpoints, if logical, are welcome here. Incessant talk, as can be seen on countless other sites, is not. The talkers can rant elsewhere. We're here to learn.

Users can talk all they want, as long as they contribute substance at the same time. It's easy to contribute substance. It's the reason we're here. But no project can succeed if the participants do nothing but talk.

The '''90/10 Rule''' is remarkably adept at discouraging and eliminating the [[mobocracy]] or [[talk pollution]] that runs rampant on other sites, such as [[Wikipedia]]. Implementation is simple and application is swift.
