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. Slicer Vorzakh (talk) 01:12, March 17, 2015 (UTC) ===Support=== # ===Neutral=== ===Oppose=== # ===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. 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. If a user has been nominated for chat moderator before, add (2) to the end of the topic header. If a request for moderator fails, the user who requested the rights must wait 4 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. ==Current requests== ==Keplers (2)== So, I was invited to LMBW today when Slicer Vorzakh sent me a PM about an argument. Went over... It was dumb. I left. Came back later because Gaz sent me another PM... with an inappropriate insult from Randomized addressed to YJF. I was mad at first, but upon further investigation found both sides to be in the wrong and attempted to calmly but firmly stop the argument, to no avail. There were no CMs on. During this period, Sketchers2003 also said the F word after being earlier warned about a yellowx... But no mods on, so no punishment until further review with the logs yadda yadda. My last RfR got a lot of flak because I needed more time, a few months maybe. After that last fight, where all I wanted was an active CM to do something, I think it's time to assume those few months have passed and try for that star again. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. ===Support=== #This guy can cause trouble, but I'm willing to give him a shot. User:Starrocks923 ===Neutral=== ===Oppose=== # ===Comments=== * ==ShadowOfOblivion7119== I personally find the lack of CMs, and lack of active ones, ridiculous. I'm not saying I would be perfect, but I think I would be good. At minimum, decent. I really think I can do good. I am The Eternal One. You cannot ever stop me. (talk) 01:01, March 17, 2015 (UTC) ===Support=== # ===Neutral=== ===Oppose=== #Immature, sensitive, use of yellowx recently, saying that he would ban specific users if he got the chance. Not to mention not enough edits. - Slicer #I'm sorry, but I must agree with Gaz. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. # ===Comments=== * ==Vonness11` (2)== There aren't usually many active mods on at night, so I'd like these rights to try and keep "night chat" (well and day chat too ) under control. I feel ready for the rights, but if you don't feel I am, please put why, and I'll try to improve. (And yeah, this is pretty much what my last RFR said. ) ===Support=== #You may not have always been the most mature user, but every user has their bad days, and you've have proven in my eyes to be a capable, quiet leader, someone I wish I was sometimes. Trust is the fulcrum of a good Chat Moderator, and my trust is something you have earned. Starrocks923 #Definitely yes. I've seen Von show exemplary behavior during times where there has been both drama, and inappropriate speech. I was actually going to refer Von. He definitely should be a CM. Colonel Roy Mustang  (talk) 23:33, March 12, 2015 (UTC) #Haven't seen much of Von lately, but to the best of my knowledge he's on at night. He seems quite responsible. #Per Star and Ben #I definitely agree, night chat needs some control. :P User:Weirdoofdoom himself XP Not eligible to vote. #I support and am in agreement with the above statements =P User:Luke_McSwagger99 # You are on at times when we need chat moderators, and you seem mature enough and ready to take action when necessary. -Lily #What the above said, definitely in need of more night mods. There's a few things I think you'd need to work on, but I can help with any of these issues. #Absolutely. You're as mature as any other user these days, and I think people are just thinking too much about how you were 1+ years ago when they go to oppose. I see none of the issues indicated by the opposes in your behavior these days. - Fortress of the Night # Per Lily and Kat. Marcel77799 (talk) 21:33, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # I think you'll be able to handle situations effectively Cay (talk) 22:06, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # Per Kat and Spidey. # Per all above. >---Avalair---> (Talk to meh) 18:07, March 14, 2015 (UTC) # Changing my vote to support, I agree with the above people. Chocolate chip cookie pizza. Yes, that's an actual thing. (talk) 23:59, March 15, 2015 (UTC) # Yeah, you would do well. Per above support. Shadow ===Neutral=== # You could be a great mod to have on at night - I won't oppose. Lone Lionheart 23:54, March 12, 2015 (UTC) #Still thinking this over. #Not sure yet, also pointing out the fact that you're afk a lot at night Slicer Vorzakh (talk) 04:57, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #On the fence. You've improved a lot the past few months but I want to see a bit less reactivity in situations. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån # Honestly, I really want to support. But just hold out for a little longer then I would probably support. Honestly I just think you need to stop being so AFK, try being more active in chat and I will support. Also a helpful hint, it would work if you like took support from other CMs and like was a CM in Progress, sorry, I'm just a little iffy. -ShadowOfOblivion7119 Moved to Support ===Oppose=== #I feel there is a lack of maturity in regard to overreacting when he is offended by something, at times even having gone as far as [insert less-strong variant of attacking] the person in retaliation. I would prefer CMs be cool-headed folks. Also, the behavior I have seen from him on other Wikis honestly makes me extremely wary of having him as a CM. # Per Jdude ~Indi # I hate to just say "per Jdude", but his point is valid. Although I don't see you being a really bad CM, I'd like to save the spot for a person a little more equipped for the role. "strict" and "conservative" are a little much, but we have a lot of CM's at the moment, and I want to make sure the ones who get these rights to enforce the policy are keen on enforcing it, and just keeping chat clean.  L • S • B 02:46, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # Not only per Jdude but I feel there are some tensions this user has with other users (including me) that I feel would get in the way of his moderating ability until he is to resolve any indication of such tensions. --Bourgeoisie (talk) 03:07, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #Per Jdude, as well as no offense intended but Von has a very uncontrollable temper which often leads to him making offensive remarks and just flatout ragequitting in general. 03:10, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #We do need a mod for night, but I am not confident in Von's ability to solve conflicts efficiently, and per Jdude. 04:30, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # I agree with the above. User:Romaniandude12 #Agreed with the above. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 15:00, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #Agreed with the above, and I want to say I don't really see you talk much at all, but you probably do at night, so I don't think that's valid, but why am I even defending when I'm ultimately opposing? Aravis (talk) ===Comments=== *@Gaz If I'm needed, just ping me and I should respond. I'm usually afk because watching things, so I can just pause. *Really wish you guys would quit judging me for, like Fort said, how I was 1+ years ago. It's just harsh and unforgiving, and it's part of the reason I don't particularly like some people here. It's not that you're opposing me, it's that you're opposing me for the same reasons as last time; for how I was over a year ago. **FTR, I'm actually not opposing you based on anything that happened a year ago, my vote is based on recent observations. 00:11, March 14, 2015 (UTC) ***Well, I've done nothing Jdude has accused me of recently. ****Per Obi, what I observed was within the last couple months. *Uh, Zaney, wrong petition?  L • S • B **LSB? Zaney is entitled to his own opinion and vote? He is surely aware of this and voted accordingly? †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån ***Rio: In his comment, ZaneyMcTuxedo referred to the person they were voting for as "Star." 00:04, March 14, 2015 (UTC) ****Oh, whoops, I thought he was referring to Zaney's support vote. My bad. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån *****He is. - Fortress of the Night ==Starrocks923== As a Moderator on the LEGO Minifigures Online Wiki, a Bureaucrat on a hidden test Wiki, and a Chat Moderator on the Frodo Loves Bacon Wiki(?!?!?!), I believe I have serious credential here. I was promoted almost instantly to Chat Moderator at LMO Wiki when I joined just for my reputation on the Message Boards, and I'm the only staff member there with any rights that wasn't a staff member when the Wiki started. As a Chat Moderator, I would have the opportunity to deal with any problems while other Mods are away from the keyboard or offline. I feel this is a way I could help the community, and would be honored if you support me in this endeavor. Thank you. User:Starrocks923 ===Support=== # I think Star would be a great chat moderator. He'd definitely get the job done, and I trust him to make mature and wise decisions. Colonel Roy Mustang (talk) 22:45, March 12, 2015 (UTC) # --Cakedude222 (talk) 22:48, March 12, 2015 (UTC) # Yes. He belongs on the moderator staff. Very mature, level headed, and would definetly know to enforce the policy when needed. Full support.  L • S • B # I've known star for years, and I can definitely say that he would be a great chat mod. -AwesomePythor # I believe he has what it takes. -TheRealIndianaBonesSulfrix9 # I'm sure Star can do it-User:Legoanimals750] #He's a decent, clean, level-headed fellow, would be a good mod. # I have seen good character and authority in you and think you would be a good moderator. User:Luke_McSwagger99 # I have seen Star be very helpful in the past and he's willing to listen to those users who need help. I vote yes User:Romaniandude12 # I vote yes. Star is very mature, calm, and helpful on public chat. =) I think we should let him have a go with it. ZaneyMcTuxedo #Starrocks923 is a good moderator on LEGO Minifigures Online Wiki, a friendly man, and I believe he cans be a great moderator on this wiki. Dark Yada Not eligible to vote. # I vote that you guys should let Star be a Chat Mod! :D I think he'd make a Swell Mod. ;) --  Darth Shlomo    Negotiations     contributions    20:54, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # Yes, Starrocks seems to be a moral person. This # BusyCityGuy supports in the third person. Reason for support required. # He is mature and intelligent. Support. -Dr. Satl, M.D. # star is a great peson i beleve that he would take his role seriously # I think Starrocks would make a great Mod because he is friendly and calm. Is that good enough wording? :P -Wolfasa # Per above >---Avalair---> (Talk to meh) 18:11, March 14, 2015 (UTC) # He is honestly better than most current CMs. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. # Support, plenty mature. A5637 (talk) 00:59, March 17, 2015 (UTC) ===Neutral=== #I don't really care, just going to participate. :P --WOD Not eligible to vote. # Per Indi, but not strongly enough to oppose Lone Lionheart 23:19, March 12, 2015 (UTC) # Cogitating. I'm getting a sense though that perhaps you need a tad more chatting experience, perhaps. #You're a good guy and I know you want to do the right thing, but you're still rather new to chat and the various dynamics therein. You're quite mature and level-headed, however, and I could see you as a mod in a few months' time. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån ===Oppose=== #I hate to oppose because you seem like a pretty friendly person, but I just don't think you're mature enough yet. You haven't been here long either (unless you're one of those people with a new account or name change I don't know of). just give it some time, and you could probably get mod eventually ~Indi #Per Indi. #Too Alemas for me and Per Indi #Agreed with Indi, sorry Star. #I don't feel like you've been here long enough to know how things are/should be run here. It seems to me like some of your ideas of right and wrong are very different than those of large portions of the community, which could easily lead to conflict. Cay (talk) 01:36, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #Per all the above, the main problem is that you'd be way too strict, like kicking somebody for posting a single logout link or banning for first offense of minor spamming. Chocolate chip cookie pizza. Yes, that's an actual thing. (talk) 02:49, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # I don't see where the comments of maturity are coming from as you've been a very mature and reasonable user since you started contributing regularly, but I do want to see you put more time and consideration into this decision of running. You'll want to be more familiar with more aspects of the community and how it should work, and I'd also like to see you being more bold both in chat and off of it, as it's a good skill for any user, especially those with rights, to have. --Bourgeoisie (talk) 03:10, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #Hasn't been active on the wiki long enough, as well as not exactly..."down to base" with the rules and the punishments that follow for breaking them. 03:12, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #What the other oppositions said, needs more time. But I do think you have potential. #Agreed with Bourg, Mad, and Klint. I don't think you have the necessary skills yet. 04:28, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # Per above. Also, "As X, Y, Z I believe I have serious credential here. etc" rubs me the wrong way. Seems pretty braggy to say "I got mod because I'm a famous MBer", as well as indicating that that wiki has a terrible promotion structure. - Fortress of the Night 06:25, March 13, 2015 (UTC) #Agreed with the above. Though I'd like to add that adding "Bureaucrat on a hidden test Wiki, and a Chat Moderator on the Frodo Loves Bacon Wiki(?!?!?!)" as "credentials" for moderating here is not exactly... professional. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 15:00, March 13, 2015 (UTC) # I don't feel he's established in the community enough. I'm also still too dumb to do signatures in this editor sooo - LED #What most people said above, especially about not being here long enough to fully understand the place and how things work. Also, unpredictably strict or lax in unexpected bouts. Aravis (talk) #Agreed with Aravis -Harold89 (talk) ===Comments=== *Hope he knows that everyone is CM on my wiki, even YJF. xD * That's okay Div, I assumed so and could probably care less. Why does the Wiki exist again? User:Starrocks923 *then why the hell did you use that as credentials The wiki exists for my pleasure
