Big thanks to @ImmortalDread for helping me out with this project and discussed this with me off-site.
And now to start things off, it's always bothered me that Human Resources doesn't really have any instructions pages for how exactly they work specifically or what exactly are they here for. And I have been noticing for quite some time that people has been trying to report staff in the RVR thread and a good amount of them seem genuinely confused where to discuss a staff members misconduct. And while I am aware the RVR does state this:
This thread is just to be more open-minded and user friendly to those who are unaware what the Human Resources are here for.
And this is the sandbox right here:
But moral of the story is just to introduce an instruction page for how the Human Resources role works around here, simply as that.
And you're welcome to evaluate the addition at any time as you want.

Their viewpoints will carry weight in the formulation or adjustment of site policies, as well as in the selection of potential staff recruits.
- Human Resources Group are widely regarded as the most respected and capable members of the site. Their opinions are highly valued, and they are fundamental cornerstones for keeping the wiki running smoothly on a daily basis while also preventing any instances of staff-related conflicts from manifesting publicly.
- Unrestricted page unlock privilege: When it comes to pages with administrator-level protection, members are required to provide a valid reason for unlocking a page. Depending on the validity, the page may or may not be unlocked, usually on a temporary basis.
- Higher Resources, however, can unlock pages, edit locked pages, etcetera. In other words, they have administrator-level access to all pages.
