I'll admit to not really knowing specifically what capabilities each default rank are given by default. I am but a lowly chat moderator, tasked with keeping a chat civil.

My point remains valid, however. Your posting/edit quantity has no bearing on your ability to carry out out specific administrative/bureaucratic actions. As such, the Powers that Be on any given wiki generally are not as interested in your posting history, except as it relates to the specific position you are being considered for.
