Table of contents

Who's running this thing?

Thelemapedia is hosted by Scarlet Woman Lodge (http://www.scarletwoman.org), a chartered local body of Ordo Templi Orientis. The current lodgemaster is Fr. Omega Baphomet. The site was originated by Fr. Ash (John Bowie) in 2004, and continues as the managing director.

Stewards

There is a class of membership that is responsible for the maintenance and caretaking of the site, called Stewards. Stewards are Thelemapedians who have "administrator" rights. Their primary responsibility is to care for the welfare and integrity of the site. Editorially, they have no more authority than any other site member, and are equally bound to Thelemapedia editorial policies. At the same time, they do have special security privileges which they use to enforce policy when necessary. For example, they have the ability to protect and delete pages, block and ban users, and delete obvious vandalism. More than that, they are available for dispute mediation and as a source of assistance, essentially providing guidance and leadership within the Thelemapedia community.
