"Senior" is a modifier for the Judge, Publisher, Ambassador and Moderator roles, and in conjunction with those is considered to be a lesser administrative role. When assigned, it grants the user various admin level privileges related to managing the queue. Senior judges, publishers, and ambassadors have the ability to assign new judges, publishers, and ambassadors respectively.
Also, a senior level user is expected to be the "go to" person for that group. They handle disputes/conflicts and have the final say when there are disagreements amongst other judge/publishers/ambassadors. Senior publishers would also be expected to help train potential new publishers.

Encoders

In general, Encoders are the people who do the hard work of creating the
best-quality media files from the submissions that have been marked as "accepted" by one of the judges. The "encoder" role allows encoders to add their encodes to movie publications, and will be assigned to users demonstrably capable of producing encodes up to site standards.
Publishers are, by virtue of their duties, also encoders.
Encoders are the lifeblood of publications, as every movie needs an encode to be published in the first place. Encoding is a very time-consuming job, and having more encoders will make the job easier for everyone as a whole.
You do not need to ask permission to start encoding. However, you should read the EncoderGuidelines. All media files encoded for publication will be reviewed by a publisher, and rejected if they don't meet the requirements.
We're also on the lookout for encoders to make new encodes for older movies. More information can be found in this topic. Remember that such encodes must also follow the EncoderGuidelines and PublisherGuidelines (apart from not being new movies, they can be treated as being new publications).

Editors are people who can edit the wiki, including pages such as this one and publication meta data such as flags, tags, and descriptions. They follow the EditorGuidelines.
Admin Assistants
A lesser administrative role, admin assistants are responsible for site tasks that don't directly relate to the submission process. Admin assistants typically assist the administrators with site source code and some day to day procedures that arise.
Collectively, the admin assistants can do many but not all admin-level operations, deleting submissions, assigning user roles, etc. As such, they must adhere to the AdminGuidelines.
Currently, there are no users in this role, and it is likely to be phased out entirely in the future.
