This is a modifier for the Judge and Publisher roles, and in conjunction with those is considered to be a vice-administrative role. When assigned it grants the user various admin level privileges related to managing the queue. Senior judges and publishers have the ability to assign new judges and publishers respectively, as well as exceed size ratios for torrents,

Also, a senior level user is expected to be the "go to" guy for that group. They handle disputes/conflicts and have the final say when there are disagreements amongst other judge/publishers. Senior publishers would also be expected to help train potential new publishers.

In general, encoders are the people who do the hard work of creating the best-quality media files from the submissions that have been marked as "accepted" by one of the judges. The "encoder" role allows encoders to add their encodes to movie publications, and will be assigned to users demonstrably capable of producing encodes up to site standards.

Publishers are, by virtue of their duties, also encoders.

Encoders are the lifeblood of publications, as every movie needs an encode to be published in the first place. Encoding is a very time-consuming job, and having more encoders will make the job easier for everyone as a whole.

You do not need to ask permission to start encoding. However, you should read the Encoder Guidelines. All media files encoded for publication will be reviewed by a publisher, and rejected if they don't meet the requirements.

We're also on the lookout for encoders to make new encodes for older movies. More information can be found in this topic. Remember that such encodes must also follow the Encoder Guidelines and Publisher Guidelines (apart from not being new movies, they can be treated as being new publications).

Some users have additional privileges above and beyond what their roles entail:

Other users

Players

While the staff run the site operations, the site wouldn't exist without the people who make Tool-assisted movies!

People who have had their movies published are listed separately on the players page.

Others

All other registered users are here, listed together with their contributions to this site. The list of these users is too long so it is no longer listed on this page.

Homepages for users

Do you have something you want to say to the world? Do you want to have a personal homepage on this site, like many others? Contact adelikat.

Note that we will occasionally delete personal homepages without warning if they don't contain meaningful content and have not been updated for a long time.

It is also worth noting that homepages are compulsory for anyone with Judge/Publisher rank or higher.
