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 overall, 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.

Hello, whoever's reading this, you might not know me very well, but I'm Abby and I would very much like to be a CM. It's been my dream ever since I joined the wiki. I'm a firstborn and I feel most comfortable in a position of leadership. I've never been kicked or banned and I consider myself a responsible individual, so please give me your honest opinion on this matter. Bgirlabby (talk) 17:59, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Sure.
 * 2) I think she's a take-charge type of gal that wouldn't be ran over by trolls and would be a responsible and mature leader here. -CR
 * 3) I'm in favour of this. Good luck. Doc (K-)Flux(7) (talk) 19:31, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I haven't seen much of her acting as a mod would act.

Oppose

 * 1) Too immature. Dinosaur Office RAWR!

I'm someone who always enforces the rules, even if I'm not a mod. I want this so I can enforce the rules without acting like a minimod. Also, I'm on every day except Wednesday and Sunday. Storm 22:03, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Very mature and rule-abiding. i think he'd make a good mod. Peregrin Took (talk)
 * 2) I don't see why not  James Mars     (wall)    00:05, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I haven't really seen you enforcing the rules all that much...
 * 2) Honestly, I really haven't seen you at all. -Random
 * 3) This guy just recently became active, so I can't really tell whether or not he'd be a good mod... Dinosaur Office RAWR!
 * 4) I've seen your name floating around a little during this past week, but other than that. . . I'm honestly not quite sure who this is. If I find out I'll move my vote to something else.

Oppose

 * 1) I am not trolling by opposing users, but I don't think they're ready. Though I have to say xxstormxx is not ready to be a Chat Moderator because he is new to the wiki and needs a bit more time on the wiki, that I have not seen him in action so I can't fully tell if he is doing well at enforcing rules. If he were to work on that, and do something to amaze me, he can be CM in no time. xxstormxx If you would like, tell me what you can do to help out. ~EvilAuthourityMod

Comments

 * Just so everyone knows, I don't really enforce rules on chat because I don't want to be a minimod. As for the MBs though, I usually bring it up and try to enforce it if someone breaks a rule, even if it's one of my friends. I've called out my RP allies before. Storm 18:50, February 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it is okay to minimod, it shows that you are ready for the position. And what you said about the MBs, if you discipline users there doesn't really count here IMO.

Madkatmaximus96 :P
I'm not really sure how to put this, honestly. There have been times on chat when there were no active mods and a user would be doing something kick-worthy. Also what Flux said is true, though I'd say our good CMs definitely outweigh the bad. I think I could handle the job of CM, I just don't always look like I could.

Also I'm tired of being called a minimod. ♠ Saint Dread ♠ (talk) 15:34, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Even though I don't think we should have more mods, I said earlier that Madkat should be a mod so I'm supporting this.
 * 2) Madkat's behavior has been exceptionally good as of late. Not only does he have quality behavior, but when chat moderators are not around he has done a good job at keeping chat active and getting the other chatters on an appopriate topic. Some may laugh at this, but I honestly believe Madkat would enforce his rights to the best of his ability. He would be an interesting new perspective to the moderating table.                  -Harold89 (talk)

Neutral

 * I haven't seen you on chat  James Mars     (wall)    15:41, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen much of his behavior recently, so neutral for now. Peregrin Took (talk)
 * Per above. -Random
 * Hello Mad. I have talked to you before on the committee joining page and lets see how much you have improved from then. Please reply soon. ~EvilAuthorityMod

Oppose

 * 1) I have to oppose this. I hate to, but I pretty much have to. :P No offense intended Maddy, I just think maybe you are not quite ready for mod.
 * 2) I don't think I would feel conformable with Madkat as a moderator.
 * 3) I've seen too many edgy comments from him. Maybe later, Madkat, but not yet. Dinosaur Office RAWR!
 * 4) All of the above.

Doc (K-)Flux(7)
Meh. It's not that I want to be a CM, or whatever. It's that this wiki is in need of actual CMs who will do their jobs, and use their abilities if needed. Too many times have I seen mods watch users spam, cuss, or etc until an actual mod who does his/her job handle the situation. If not me, please actually nominate good users. Not saying that they aren't all good, some are quite good. But there are not enough. Here's to hoping that the recently promoted users will actually do their jobs. And in terms of edits and time on the wiki, collectively, I have been around for years and made hundreds of edits.Doc (K-)Flux(7) (talk) 01:28, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) He'd make a good CM with his wise judgment. Ace Aviator of the Antares Squadron (talk)
 * 2) I think flux would do well as a Chat Moderator.
 * 3) He's been a perfect candidate for over a year now. Make him a chat mod already! D:< Dinosaur Office RAWR!

Neutral

 * If he just came back, I don't see a need yet.  James Mars     (wall)    01:49, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you should wait a little while until you've been around again for enough situations to see how/if the way things are handled have changed since you've been gone. (now that Kelly Clarkson song is going to be stuck in my head) Cay (talk) 02:09, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about him, thus, neutral.  L • S  • B

Oppose

 * 1) Just came back to the wiki after a 6+ month break. I'd rather him wait a while to actually prove he's staying. -Randomized
 * 2) "I have nothing against Kiff but considering his past actions and if he might be helpful to the LMBW community, I'd recommend he not be choosen to be a Chat Moderator. The reasons why is because in the past Kiff had broken rules, and also created many dupes. How will we be sure he wont try and do these things again? Though, I do forgive and forget his actions, the past still counts for something. Though, for him to fully convince me to see him fit as a Chat Moderator, I would like to see him to be more involved in the community with what he can do now, and to regain his credibility again. ~EvilAuthorityMod
 * 3) Right, I agree with Klintrin, he's been away for too long and just suddenly came back.
 * 4) I'm sorry Kiff, but I agree with Klint an Peat. In 2 to 3 months, I'd be more than willing to support. Peregrin Took (talk)

Comments

 * Wait, do we count old accounts' edits? If we do not, then Kiff doesn't meet requirements, unfortunately.
 * I mentioned that in the paragraph. If the mods are smart and generous, then yes, I should be accepted.  But, they probably won't allow it, I've never quite been on the good side of some of them.
 * @LBB: "Dupes?" When has Kiff abused multiple accounts?
 * I didn't say anything about him abusing dupes. I just said he "created many". ~EvilAuthorityMod
 * There is actually nothing wrong with having multiple accounts. I don't see why having multiple, legal accounts is basis to oppose his request for chat mod.
 * What is a good reason to have many accounts when you can have one to do everything you need? One is if your data was lost from your old account, that's it. And again, I am not accusing him that he is a Duper he can't be CM. Though in a way it does, give me less trust in being a CM considering the reputation of anything surrounding dupes. Do you not agree with that claim? ~EvilAuthorityMod


 * There actually is nothing wrong with owning dupes, as long as you aren't using them in a wrong way. Here read this.
 * Lebbe why don't you come on chat no more D: and also Kiff hasn't like broken rules or anything like that... Cay (talk) 03:52, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, LBB, hello again. Long time no see. Although not strictly in a position to defend myself, I feel inclined to point out that I never created multiple accounts (dupes) for one wiki. I have had two active (non-deleted) accounts active at a time, one for specific wikis, the other for community based wikis regarding wikia. So in fact, no, I have not created, "Dupes" for LMBW. And yes, I agree there is a bad reputation for newly created accounts of past users. However, I do not fit into the category of abusing new accounts. Secondly, would you mind pointing out what other things I have done against the rules? Feel free to move your motion to Neutral at any time, it is much appreciated. Cya 'round old friend, Doc (K-)Flux(7) (talk) 04:38, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * @Nxt Thank you for responding kindly. I miss the times when there were talks instead of arguements. And thank you for the link, I used it to check and see that Kiff has abbided by the rules, and I do wish these rules were more visible cause these do help out with my current issue of trying to solve the dupe problem. I can now say that the issue I had with his dupes are now resolved. ~Legobrickbuilder4567


 * @ Cay  would come on chat but I feel no reason to do so, and because I left LMBW for good, till that is I needed LMBW to relook into what has changed so I can better find a way to fix it's issues, that should of been solved sooner. and I do remember Kiff doing things, but my memory is really bad, so I can't pinpoint anything he did wrong or in his case "didnt". I do though, want to regain some trust with him so I can further see if he will make a good user to be a Chat Moderator who will do what he needs to help his community. In that way, he will be more than a "name". He'll be a person who people will recognise as a role model of the community. ~EvilAuthroityMod
 * @ Kiff09 Hello Kiff09. It's nice to meet you again. Though I would prefer to meet in more happier terms. Haha. As I have told Cay I have no way to pinpoint if you had broken any rules, but I still do remember a hint of an issue, but again, if I had better memory, I would of been out of school already. :P As for your dupes, I thank you for clearing that out. To continue on wha tI've told Nxt, that issue have been resolved. I still am doing what I can to find a way to keep people from making dupes. I was going to tell Nxt this but I do it here. I hope to convince users making dupes are a bad idea, and by doing that, decrease the amount of dupes being made.
 * Also I don't mind if you're defending yourself. I do admit I sound like I was attacking but I meant for my reasonings to be neutral. So in a way I congradulate you. Though if you do want to be a CM I would like to see a few more things from you to gain more trust from you before I am confident of you being one. I would recomend in a way see more activity from you. I would like to here your staying out of chat troubles, and doing everything you can to avoid trouble. If you do that I would change myself to approving you, but right now, I oppose you being a Chat Moderator. I don't know how to word this well, but I hope you take no offence, because I mean none. ~EvilAuthorityMod


 * None taken. Here's to a smoother future, and more hard-working mods. Doc (K-)Flux(7) (talk) 14:13, February 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * For some reason, no one cares if people make dupes anymore. I still think it should be against the rules, but we have multiple users who have made dupes and have never been punished for it. Also, as far as I can remember, Kiff never made any dupes, except for maybe one which he made by the request of Drew (or some other admin) so as to catch Norvik. Dinosaur Office RAWR!
 * "I care about if people make dupes." ~EvilAuthorityMod
 * Actually, Wii is correct. That is the only time I made a duplicate, however it was at the suggestion of an admin. Also, I might as well mention to everyone that I succesfully caught Norvik, who had been terrorizing the wiki for weeks. Doc (K-)Flux(7) (talk) 14:13, February 6, 2014 (UTC)
