You have not read the policy correctly. It states how to achieve access to=

posting.

Usually someone from Promo asks for rights. We check the policy and, if the=
y=20
meet the criteria, we request access for them from sysadmin.

It is not a very formal process. It is usually like "Oh! You've been around=
=20
for a while, you've helped out and haven't done anything crazy. Allow me to=
=20
introduce you to Ben...".

It is the subset of people that belong to Promo, fulfill the criteria laid =
out=20
in the policy and have requested and have been granted access.

Not everybody needs a password, by the way. On Twitter, for example, we acc=
ess=20
posting via Tweetdeck, which means you do not require credentials at all:=20
Sysadmins just add your account to their Tweetdeck's team account.

It is also similar in Facebook: admins add your personal account to the lis=
t=20
of "editors" and then you can post. This is also similar to Google-based=20
services, like YouTube, and, if I remember right, LinkedIn: you don't get=20
credentials, you just get your personal account added to a team.

If a poster moves on, becomes inactive or misbehaves, admins, in most cases=
,=20
just need to remove their privileges.
