Category:Sysopping

From eg

Sysopping refers to management of systems, accounts, and so on. It is the ongoing work that takes place after provisioning and before one shifts to another host.

An objective of open configuration is to commodify sysopping so that one can easily identify and contract trustworthy persons to perform routine operations on one's host/s. To get an idea of what sysops care about, review the agendas of all sysop meetings.

Many people view sysopping and trolling as inherently competitive, in that the sysop's job is perceived as identifying and excluding trolling, and trolls likewise are perceived as mortal enemies of sysops. See troll-sysop struggle on this. This troll-friendly wiki with the explicit mission to let.sysops.be may be a first step to reconciliation.

From new troll point of view, all users are trolls and should have equal power relationships after provisioning. Thus, sysopping is simply a form of trolling carried out with infrastructure owners trust (usually expressed via provisioning) and usually technological escalation, e.g. sysop vigilantiism. Any activity not clearly related to troll-sysop struggle belongs in this category. This is a small subset of all activities carried out on most modern services.
