LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Requests for Rights/Chat Moderator

This is LMBW's requests for chat moderator page. If you wish to request moderator rights, please read this page first, and make sure you fulfill the requirements listed here. Moderators have the ability to kick and ban users from chat when they are being disruptive.

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 are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 20 supporting votes and 75% support out of the total supports and opposes, then their request will be closed as successful. Opposers must provide reasons for opposing. Most requests last for around a week, unless there is clear consensus either way after a short period of time.

If a user has been nominated for chat moderator before, add  to the end of the topic header. 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.

Hay there, people. It is I, Harold89, and I am requesting to be a chat moderator. I have been on this wiki since April 6th of 2013. I am active and involved in the community. I stick up for myself, but in an appropriate way. I have a clean ban log. I am kind, direct, and often I make good decisions. I believe over the course of time I have excelled in gaining respect from the community. It should also be noted that I have been told I would make a great chat moderator - by administrators, moderators, and patrollers. I have often been annoyed, but also pleased, when chat moderators have been putting the pressure on me - sometimes chat moderators have told me to send them a Private Message if something needs to be settled in chat, because they are AFK. They then have told me to handle it until they get back. This is annoying, because I am put in the position to handle the events in chat, even though I am not a mod. This is also pleasurable to me because I know that chat moderators have trust in me. If I get chat moderator, this would not be a problem, though, and I could use my powers to rightfully solve the issue on my own without being stereotyped as a "minimod." Finally, I think I would be a good mod because I can MODERATE well (used as a verb here). As of late, I have been noting that the administrators are promoting users not because of their moderation skills, but because of how much respect they have from the community. I know multiple users who have been made chat moderators, who, have much respect from the community, but when it comes to moderating... they aren't the best. I know I have respect from the community. And that helps - but only a little. I want y'all to know that I can MODERATE chat well. I am respected, yes, but I can DO my job, if assigned to me. I have moderated chat before, and I did well, if I may add - but still, I could not kick or ban in these situations because of my lack of rights. If I became chat mod, I would moderate chat as best as I could. I am a people-person. I would moderate chat, deal with issues, and try to make chat a great place. I am trying to do those things without being chatmod, but to be honest, it is fairly challenging. If I became CM, I could do these things easier.

Well, you made it to the end. Or maybe you skipped this long speech. None the matter. Please vote, whether it be support, neutral, or oppose. Thanks! -Harold89 (talk)

Edward Nigma
I've never asked to be a chat moderator here, but I've wanted to put in a request for quite some time. I've watched chat countless hours. I've helped get some people banned. I've logged chat a few times, and shown the mods what's been going on, and I'd like to finally be able to take the action myself rather than wait a few hours until some mod gets on. Of course, I've been here a very long time (more than two years), I've seen a lot. My last ban was in December 2012, a request because I needed time off to just do my homework. Also, I'm a chat moderator at other wikis, like Brickipedia, which I got in August 2013. Other than when I was a new user, I'm very mature know when and when not to take action.

Support

 * 1) Absolutely. Edward is one of the most trustworthy people here. -
 * 2) Of course. LCF should have been promoted a while ago.
 * 3) Mature and trustworthy, isn't the most active but those two qualities make up for it.  Randomized  ( wall ) 20:21, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) ✿Indigo✿ (talk) 22:33, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Don't really think we should have too many more CM's. But LCF as a ChatMod sounds like a good idea. Years of experience and is active and helpful. Widely respected user.

Neutral

 * I haven't seen enough to really support or oppose so far. I´ll stay neutral because of that. Marcel77799

I put in a CM request a few months ago, which didn't go so well, but Marc convinced me to try again. I feel like I would make a good CM because I'm not afraid to act. Some of our current CMs (especially newer ones)just seem to be reluctant to kick or ban. Also, it's rather frustrating when I point out something like non-clean YT link and it gets ignored until a CM says something about it. I consider myself a mature user and, as a firstborn, I work well in a position of leadership. Bgirlabby (talk) (talk) 20:41, March 28, 2014 (UTC)

Support

 * Yes, she deserves CM rights! Go Abby! :P Marcel77799
 * 1) I belive Abby is mature enough. And I do see her point in being hesitant to kick. I've thought about that and I don't know how I would react. So.. support.
 * 2) Le Scardonian. (talk) 00:42, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

 * I haven't seen Abby doing anything in situations... Also, I don't think that any of our CMs are reluctant to kick or ban.
 * As much as I know, and like, Abby I'm not so sure about her as a CM. I'd need to see more, I suppose. Don Rep Corleone (talk) 22:14, March 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Can be tougher...too nice and seems reluctanct to stand up to others when they violate rules or push them. MC1
 * L • S  • B
 * 1) Abby is mature and very friendly, yet I am unsure at whether or not she'd make a good mod yet. Maybe give it a while, and my mind will change. ✿Indigo✿ (talk) 22:32, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Really don't know very well. Abby, I reccomend that you get yourself out there a bit more and be more proactive in the community as a whole, even if you usually only enjoy hanging out with a your close group of friends. It'll help. Also, reversely, dissin' current CM's won't help.Good luck!

Oppose

 * 1) Per Spy.  Randomized  ( wall ) 21:51, March 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed with the above. -
 * 3) I don't know why, but I got this "gut feeling" that you are "too" nice... Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 22:14, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Although I respect her, I don't think she'd be able to handle the rights well.  Her emotions oftentimes are the source of her actions, which causes problems IMO.  Vegeta's Fangirl 04:30, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Saying she was leaving and then coming back certainly didn't help her gain my trust. Sorry. Dinosaur Office RAWR!

Comments

 * Not that it's helping my cause, but I love how you guys think I'm so nice. XD Normally people get mad at me for being insensitive. Guess you don't know me well enough.  Bgirlabby (talk)
