Fandom does not have a global policy about who can serve as a mod or an admin. In theory, it should not be a barrier to being a mod or an admin, especially if the user has not committed a problem in a long while (over 3-6 months?) and has done lots of good work in the mean time. However, one should be much more strict on qualifications for an admin vs. a mod. Bad admins are one of the worst things that can happen to a wiki.
