User blog comment:LordOtherGuest/What's the requirements to be a VSTF?/@comment-25024589-20150816121516

I know a lot of other people have already commented, but I shall state it again in my own words.

The members of the VSTF are selected by Staff from everyone on Wikia, worldwide. Staff choose users they believe will use their abilities for one reason only: fighting spam and vandalism. (Meaning: They cannot just use their extra tools to globally-block a person just because they don't like them. VSTF also aren't "higher-up" in local ranking than the local admins and should not act the opposite.)

It's invite-only, and Staff will not choose Wikians who ask and/or seem to want to join.
