Head Administrator

Head Administrators (Headmins) are the highest rank of the administration, and the lead role within Server Oversight. Individually, they manage the policy of the administration. As a team, Head Administrators oversee the entirety of the staff team and the mandates of the Staff Heads.

Personnel Management

Head Administrators are responsible for changes to staff. They're expected to vet and approve new members from the most ordinary regular staff all the way up to Oversight. It is also up to the body of Head Admins to determine and change mandates for other members of Oversight when necessary.

Dispute Resolution

Head Administrators do not perform direct administrative actions involving players. Instead, their role in the administrative process has to do with task assignment and mitigating the usual concerns an administration may have.

As an example, Head Administrators may assign an administrator to an unban appeal, both to prevent the practice of Admin Shopping - coordinating an appeal such that a friendly administrator can unfairly unban - as well as avoiding unfair treatment by a hostile admin.

Administrative Duty

Where Moderators dutifully uphold the letter of the rules and Administrators pursue the spirit of the rules, Head Administrators oversee the purpose of the rules, holding the server to the highest standard and shutting down any attempts at interpreting the rules in obtuse or shocking ways.

Maintaining Rules

Although there are separate roles for Staff Heads dedicated to penning the rules, laws and SOP that are followed on Sojourn, Head Administrators are de facto responsible for those tasks in their absence.
