Become an admin / Remove an admin / Step down from your adminship
Every region has at least one volunteer local administrator who helps ensure that the Community Guidelines are being followed in that region. It's everyone's responsibility to ensure that the community guidelines are being followed, but local admins can help. This entry is about the process of becoming an admin, removing an admin, and stepping down from your adminship.

How can someone become a local admin?
- People who start a region are automatically the local admins of their region.
- If you did not start your region, you can request to become a local admin through your region's Help Desk.
What's the process for adding admins to a region?
-
Any user (including an existing admin) can call for volunteers who might want to be additional admins on the help desk, or a person who wants to be an admin can ask to be added.
-
The person who volunteers to be an admin should post saying
Can I ask to become an admin for a temporary period of time?
-
Sure, put how long you'd like to try being an admin for when you ask to be an admin.
