LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Requests for Rights/Administrator

This is LMBW's requests for administrator page. If you wish to request administrator rights, please read this page first, and make sure you fulfill the requirements listed here.

To file a request, place the following code under the "current requests" header, above any existing requests.

replace this with your username
replace this with a brief paragraph about why you want to be nominated. ~

Comments


Requests made on this page made are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 25 supporting votes and 75% support out of the total supports and opposes, then their request will be closed as successful. Users voting on a request must give a valid reason for their support or oppose. Most requests last for around a week, unless there is clear consensus either way after a short period of time. At least 96 hours must pass before a request can be closed.

If a user has requested administrator rights before, add  to the end of the topic header. If a request for administrator fails, the user who requested the rights must wait 8 weeks before requesting them again. For users with multiple requests, add the respective number of the request. It is also considered good practice to link to previous requests for rights when nominating a user.

Archived requests can be found here.

Hi everyone! I've been here for almost a year and a half now, and have been a CM for about six months. I love this place. I want to help out where I can. And I think that being an admin would be something that I could do to help make this wiki better. In light of Alemas's recent blog, I think that we need more unity and leadership in the admin team. I hope to be able to add to that. A lot of you guys know me, I'm almost always on at night. I am also pretty active in the other aspects of the wiki, and know a good deal about code and editing.

I think that I would be an effective admin. I am pretty responsible, though I do tend to be a goofball sometimes. I try to be friendly to everyone I meet as much as I can. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hopefully being able to help out! Legofrodo12

 * 1) Heck yes! Froda is one of our most mature users and she has a super keen sense of judgement. Would be a great addition to the team! Avalair ★  Talk  ★  Wall 
 * 2) An absolutely from me. She's one of my closest friends here, and she's very capable for the position. -NXTein
 * 3) if she is willing to remain active (which she should thasks to her new crib) she is the ideal admin. one of the few potential candidates capable of admin. MC1
 * 4) Per above Animal Geek ~ Message Wall
 * 5) yep yep yep per all the above - Felldo 15:01, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Oh yeah, per all five above! -Bee
 * 7) Unlike some of our other not super active admins, Froey is still able to be contacted via other means even when she's gone for a time from the wiki. Furthermore, she's more serious and mature and is often an anchor in the wiki when you need someone to moderate a crazy chat or solve a problem. She's caring and fairly easy to talk to, and is kind and is also a pretty good editor. I think she's more involved in the social aspect of the wiki rather than the content aspect, but really, that's what we need help with right now. She should make sure to practice editing and maybe learn some basic code if she has time. Lilac Neko (talk) 15:49, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) My only objection is that I don't see you on much, and hey, that's practically a requirement around here. --Grandpa Weirdo  (yell at me)  16:00, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Hmm... yes. You sound enough mature to be an admin, and very friendly. Also, per what-everyone-just-said. Yada   Dark  17:53, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) While inactivity has perhaps been an issue, I've found Frodo to posess many attributes I look for in an Administrator.
 * 11) Active, friendly, mature, and per the above. I support. ~Mishie da Fishie~=l
 * 12) Per the above. -KnightoftheLight
 * 13) I don't know you that well Frodo, but what I've seen makes me believe you would be a great addition to the Admin team. You've even given me advice involving my own Admin job... Total support Purplebrick333 (talk) 19:55, February 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 14) Frodo has been an extremely helpful user in the past to me, and helping me correct my mistakes instead of chastising me for them. Like much of the others, a problem is activity, but I don't think it's too big of a deal. I think you'd make a great Admin! ~HyperFlash Studios
 * 15) Per the above. ~Derpulse
 * 16) Per Neko.  L • S  • B
 * 17) I'll just say yes. - T-007Bond UTC+08:00 7:52PM Invalid reason
 * 18) Totally! Frodo would be an amazing Admin!

Neutral

 * 1) Don't know you, so I can't judge.  The Double Devil (talk) 05:05, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I can't see you performing any form of admins duties, though you are a good CM and a great person. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 3) Per Keplers, she's friendly and a great CM overall but I'm not sure about admin. Activeness might be a problem. -~π~ (talk) 13:42, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Per above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 16:42, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Per Spider and Alemas.
 * 6) Your activity inconsistency is what makes me unable to support, but it's not enough to make me oppose either. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 7) Froey's awesome, but something's holding back my support that I can't put my finger on. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 8) I really want to support you, but the activity thing is holding me back. We want people who can respond to things quickly and are really aware of stuff that's going on in the community, and idk if you can do that right now. Loney 97 learn about me   talk to me  [[File:Scarf_r1275394791.gif]]

Oppose

 * 1) Neutraled originally, but I realized that I neutraled because I did not believe that she can be an effective administrator at this point, so it made more sense to oppose. I have nothing personal against her, and I believe she's fine as a CM, but I haven't seen anything to show that she can handle the responsiblity of being an admin. She also doesn't have high activity and a few incidents make me question her personal judgment. Not a no forever, but I don't think this is the time. -Skul
 * 2) Basically same as Skul - you haven't been especially active as of late so it's hard to judge completely accurately, and as Skul pointed out there's some issues with judgement when moderating. Maybe later, but not now.
 * 3) Frodo is an awesome CM. But an admins job isn't just moderating. And I don't think Frodo is ready, or even needs the added rights. I don't see her very active outside of chat (Sometimes it takes days for her to vote on community votes) which is important for an admin. I'd like to see Frodo get Discussion Mod rights first and see how she does with those before I support her for admin.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 17:01, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) I just do not see her as an admin at all. As others have said, she's perfectly fine as a CM, but an admin? Not quite there yet. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 17:25, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Agreed with Skul especially. I barely see you on chat at all.
 * 6) per everyone else -slice
 * 7) I agree with above statements; not to mention that we do not suffer a lack of admins that would justify someone fairly inactive to the team Guac
 * 8) I like you, but I don't think we need any more admins, and what the above said. Aravis (talk)
 * 9) Per Skull Brick425 (talk) 04:17, February 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) Per the above, I have seen nothing authoritative and admin-like from Frodo; I do not, however, question her ability to moderate chat. benboy

Avalair
You know, its been a pretty bumpy road for me and I never thought this would be happening, but I have finally decided to put up an admin request. I'm not going to write a long summary about myself and my journey as a moderator and a user on here, because I already did that. I am running for admin because I believe I will be a good addition to their team. I have been a chat moderator for just about 3 years and I am very active, on here just about every day, and very involved in community affairs. I know a good amount of programming (which unfortunately the majority of our current admins lack any knowledge of coding). As an admin I hope to aid in bringing the community together, as this is a rather dark time for our community and many of our admins are moving into inactivity. There have been times where I was on and an admin was needed but there were simply no admins on at the time. I have a proper understanding of the rules of this wiki, I am unbiased in most matters, and I use common sense. If you oppose, please leave something I can do to improve on for the future. Thanks.

 * 1) Ava is a mature and helpful user, he'd be a great Admin - KnightoftheLight
 * 2) Extremely active, fantastic moderator, and I know he'd be a great admin. He's also super friendly, which is vital. Haven't seen him get upset, at least not for a long time. Definite yes.Legofrodo12  03:29, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) I have faith in Ava to do a great job. He is fully qualified, is a great CM, is active, resolves disputes well, and uses common sense in all situations. He'll be a great addition to the admin team.-Skul
 * 4) I have wanted this for too long. He is capable, active, and most importantly neutrally cool-headed. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. Moved to oppose
 * 5) I do believe you've grown a lot over the year. Earlier, you might not have had supports, but you've gained a fairly good relationship with the community from what I've seen, and you're active and working to improve the wiki all the time. You'd do well with these rights. Lilac Neko (talk)
 * 6) Ava is fantastic. He's already a great CM and would make a great addition to the admin team. Moved to oppose -Nehpets7000
 * 7) Per above. -AP
 * 8) Ava is one of the most helpful, active, and friendly users I know, an amazing Chat Mod, and an all around great person. He definitely deserves this position. -HyperFlash Studios
 * 9) Per above. Ava is very nice, highly active, handles situations well, and is very helpful. He's a great CM, and he'd be a great admin too. -BlizardBrick
 * 10) Ava is the only CM I would support for admin right now. He understands the policy well and is a kind user who's in touch with the community. Definitely support.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 04:04, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 11) I've known Ava for a while now. A very well respected CM in our LMBW crazy family. He would do just fine as an admin.
 * 12) ava is a great mod and he handels situations well :3 -slice
 * 13) Echoing Lilac and Spider... Ava has really turned around...., and after much cogitation I think he would make a great addition to the Admin Team given how responsible he has been, great at modding chat, and a generally friendly and helpful person. Also, his coding skills would be appropriated. :P
 * 14) He's made a meteoric rise to one of our best CMs, and I think he would be a helpful, industrious, and active admin. He's well-liked and will bring much help to the efforts to heal our community. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 15) Yay per everyone above go ava go ava ~KiraNotKirac
 * 16) Per all the others. -NXTein
 * 17) Per above people Animal Geek ~ Message Wall
 * 18) There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but Avy is the best CM by far IMO, so logically I support him for admin. -Derpulse
 * 19) Per Above. --Anonymous Kontributor (talk) 12:45, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 20) Ava has shown himself to be competent and ready for the job. Also, per the above. -~π~ (talk) 13:40, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 21) yep yep yep per all the above. Ava would make a fantastic admin. - Felldo 15:05, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 22) Ava definately can handle Admin -Bee
 * 23) While the oppose votes raise valid points, I have never had any issues with him myself. Ava is competent and effective from what I have seen, though I confess that is limited. --<span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;">Grandpa Weirdo <span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;">(yell at me)  16:06, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 24) Per the above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 16:45, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 25) ^Yeah
 * 26) He's done a fine job with all of his other positions, and I believe that giving him Admin rights would give him more tools he could use effectively without giving him too much. He's familiarized himself with chat as a Chat Moderator, editing as a Patroller and even dealing with comments on threads as a Discussions Moderator. A user who has experience in all three of those areas certainly matches the résumé of an Administrator on this Wiki, and that's more than enough for my vote.
 * 27) Ava is a good CM, friendly, and active, what more could one want? Purplebrick333 (talk) 20:03, February 23, 2016 (UTC
 * 28) Look, Ava is a good person and a good CM. I think ava deserves to be an admin and would do some good around this place. Whatever shocking news you guys are talking about problably happened a long time ago and people do change and get better.(LSB's thing was giving me problems so I had to go above) Lunaicus (talk) 15:28, February 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * 29) Per 26. I do believe Ava will be a good admin and in time a great one.<span class="LSB-Sig" style="background: saddlebrown;text-shadow: 0 0 5px #4D4DFF;color:green;padding:0em 0.5em;border: solid 3px red;"> <font style="color: yellow;">L • <font style="color: yellow;">S  • <font style="color: yellow;">B
 * Hmm, yes. Maybe I had some issues with you, but I won't oppose for those reasons. I'm sure you deserve admin rights and you'll be an awesome admin. Yada   Dark  16:25, February 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) I think after being mod for a long time, Ava has enough experience and responsibility to be an admin. -Zapty
 * 2) Supporting because I don't think it's right for people to oppose based on a difference of opinion, and because I think you really would make a great admin. Loney 97 learn about me   talk to me  [[File:Scarf_r1275394791.gif]]
 * 3) per the rest, ava has the knowledge and experience necessary for these rights, and I feel he would use them well. Mel

Neutral

 * 1) I don't know... You'll probably be an excellent admin. But, more for personnal reasons, I can't support you but I will not oppose either... (maybe I'll change my mind on the next days?)  Yada   Dark  17:53, February 22, 2016 (UTC) Moved to support
 * 2) I don't know what I think it should take to be an admin here, as I only use the chat and then occasionally commenting on blogs. He's certainly a good guy who has good judgement, but this really only applies to the social aspect,but he already is pretty much covered for that as chat mod. - Coggs

Oppose

 * Wow, I get to be "that guy" Anyway I dunno, my vote could be affected by my perception of you, which...is not the most mature perception?  I mean, you're a fine mod. I guess what I'm trying to say in my usual convoluted way is that admin is a big job, and I personally don't think you're there yet. <font color="black" size="5" face="Edwardian Script ITC"> The Double Devil  (talk) 04:17, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Got friendliness down, got the activity down, but that's not enough. Not the best personality for the job. Not ready for the pressures and responsibilities I don't think. Maybe later on.
 * 2) S compared to everyone who says he is a great mod, I have to disagree. Many a time, I've come into conflict with him when trying to enforce rules, many a time my method would've been justified. I can't trust him as a CM tbh, let alone as an admin. He also seems to have difficulty understand difficulty simple statements at times.. And it's a one or other, and Froey gets the gig for me. - MC1
 * 3) There's something that's not making me want him as an admin. Maybe it's the fact I just don't see him act as one. As a CM, sure, he's fine, but admin? I don't feel he's made of the right stuff. Not yet, at least. Agreed with Gogs, in a way. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 17:25, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) reasons more elaborately explained in my conversation with him on chat; in essence, not efficient and willing to hardline/defend/push his position enough Guac
 * 5) What Izzy said. You're a nice guy but to be admin some sort of respected presence is required to be effective, and that's not really there right now. Aravis (talk)
 * 6) After thinking about this per Izzy and Aravis.
 * 7) i honestly had trouble taking him serious as a chat moderator - LED
 * 8) Ava's young, and while that in of itself is not a problem, you can often see it play out in his CM duties.  Instead of swiftly dealing with a problem, he argues for a lengthy period of time with the person about it.  I get a pliable impression from him, and sometimes, and I mean sometimes, just seems clueless as to what's going on.  It won't be long when Ava's ready for admin, but it's not today. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 9) I have withdrawn my support due to information that causes me to question whether it truly would be beneficial to have Ava as an admin. -Arya
 * 10) I hate to do this. But I learned a few things about Ava that made me...really disappointed. After strong reconsideration, I really can't say Ava would be a good admin right now. -Nehpets7000
 * 11) After receiving some pretty... shocking information, I must revoke my support and instead oppose. I've got to say, I am surprised and saddened by the development and disappointed that this guy is a CM. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 12) Per the above, my thoughts are summarized by Goggs, MC, and Ale. benboy

 * Uh... What is this "shocking information" everyone is talking about? Cause I am super confused and haven't the slightest idea what anyone is talking about. <font color="Orange">Avalair  <font color="Red">★  <font color="Orange">Talk  <font color="Red">★  <font color="Orange">Wall 
 * If what has been described to me is truly the case, this "shocking" information is nothing other than baseless gossip whose only purpose is to discredit Ava's RFR. -AP


 * Someone is twisting a misunderstanding that happened a couple weeks ago to make it sound liek you did something disgusting when you didn't. Unfortunately we don't know who it is....   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 16:36, February 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * I wonder what is this information duh Yada   Dark  16:37, February 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * I can back up what ZX is saying, but I'll wait for someone else to post the evidence first as I was requested not to share it myself.
 * Wait, so they gave it to you too?
