What are the Vanguard ranks?

Five ranks: Recruit, Vanguard, Senior, Commander and Overseer. Moderators climb by earning VP through moderation: 25,000 for Vanguard, 250,000 for Senior, 1 million for Commander and 5 million for Overseer. The top two also need the founder's approval.

• Recruit: watches and learns. No live actions yet.
• Vanguard: reviews reports, acts on flagged content, and can mute for up to 24 hours.
• Senior: handles cases passed up by Vanguards and can issue temporary bans.
• Commander: resolves disputed decisions and can issue permanent bans.
• Overseer: the top of the chain.

There's no way to buy a rank.
