GTA Wiki:Patroller Probation

The Patroller Probation is a policy that applies to certain users applying from Patroller positions. If the user is inexperienced or if they have only been active for two months, they will face the three month period during which they will be observed. This also applies to previously demoted staff re-applying, but not to staff who resigned.

After three months, a vote will be set up. The vote will take place on the Requests for Promotion page and voting will be limited to bureaucrats and administrators. The procedure is exactly the same as straight-up promotion. The vote must either be over 60% yes, or have more positive than negative votes after seven days.

This policy makes sure that inexperienced members can adjust into a higher position, to see whether or not the user can stand up to the challenge.
