Pundits, Moderators and Admins. Some clarifications.

Now that we already have the "Week of Politics" started I feel like I need to clarify a few details:

1. As per the current rules, only a Pundit may attempt to become a Moderator. As of now, we only have two approved Pundits from outside of the BoonEx Team - jtadeo and sammie.

2. Sammie and some other members have suggested new Pundits and we plan to offer Pundit status to the suggested members. If they accept, sign the NDA and become Pundits, they may well be nominated to Moderator status.

3. Moderators are not Admins. The current moderation system is designed in a way that Mods cannot remove anything permanently. Admins have to review Moderated content anyway. Mods can hide content and thus maintain the site in good order, while Admins are away, busy or snoozing.

4. As of now, Admins are only selected from the BoonEx Team, but this will eventually change and "stable" moderators may receive Admin rights.

5. Unity Account status doesn't affect licenses. Only BoonEx Team may discontinue licenses.  This will always stay this way.

6. Current moderation tools at Unity are very underdeveloped, and we don't plan to improve them too much, since we're going to use Dolphin 7 here starting from the end of July.

7. Even though there's a "step-by-step" rule we reserve the right (and plan to use it this week) to appoint Pundits without the requirement of having Expert and Contributor status.
