User blog comment:Poseidon133/What is the Difference between Admin and Bearucrat/@comment-4151266-20130813010152/@comment-1330470-20130813032120

"Founder" doesn't mean anything. "Founder" is just a user with administrator and bureaucrat rights - that's all the benefits given to the person who created a wiki. A founder has zero more rights than any other user who is promoted to administrator+bureaucrat, with exception of the "Founder" sticker on his profile.

It is correct that a bureaucrat has less rights than an administrator. However, very rarely are people just bureaucrats - the next step of promotion after administrator is administrator+bureaucrat. An administrator+bureaucrat has all the rights of an administrator, plus the ability to promote other users to administrator, rollback, and bureaucrat, as well as demote them (except they cannot demote bureaucrats).

Hope this helps!
