You already have all the "privileges" a regular user can get. We have only a few moderators or admins (not all in the lists are currently active), usually longtime-active and AHK-experienced members. Their additional privileges come with certain responsibilities which require a certain level of trust.
The
spam officer role is more limited, but currently we probably have no active spam officers who are really spam officing (except the ones who are also moderators, like me). Last time, we added some at a moment of crisis, when we had serious spam problems, a few years ago. Since then, we have adjusted many rules and user permissions, and are now able to prevent most spam.
It seems that role has been also used for a few special users which - for whatever reason - should have (limited) additional rights. I am not sure, if that spam officer role will have much of a future, if it will get rebranded or redefined at some point, or evolve into something else.
RPA is the only restricted group I am aware of, which a regular user can join. Afaik, there are no more groups, other than staff groups and the "spammer" group (which you don't want to join
).
Generally, someone would have to suggest your name for such a role to the current staff, and then staff would discuss that suggestion. Imho, I haven't seen enough of you that I would support your candidacy at the current moment (but I can only speak for myself). Of course, that might change in the future.
My question would be: What
privileges are you currently missing?
