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. 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  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.

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 :p) 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

 * 1) 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
 * 2) 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)
 * 3) Haven't seen much of Von lately, but to the best of my knowledge he's on at night. He seems quite responsible.
 * 4) Per Star and Ben
 * 5) I definitely agree, night chat needs some control. :P User:Weirdoofdoom himself XP Not eligible to vote.
 * 6) I support and am in agreement with the above statements =P User:Luke_McSwagger99
 * 7) You are on at times when we need chat moderators, and you seem mature enough and ready to take action when necessary. -Lily
 * 8) 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.
 * 9) 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
 * 10) I've seen star on chat many, many times and he's always very calm and mature about things. he'd make a great mod. ;) ZaneyMcTuxedo

Neutral

 * 1) You could be a great mod to have on at night - I won't oppose.  Lone Lionheart 23:54, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Still thinking this over.
 * 3) 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)
 * 4) 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

Oppose

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Per Jdude ~Indi
 * 3) 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)
 * 4) Per the above. Chocolate chip cookie pizza. Yes, that&#39;s an actual thing. (talk) 02:48, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) 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)
 * 6) 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)
 * 7) 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)
 * 8) I agree with the above. User:Romaniandude12
 * 9) Agreed with the above. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 15:00, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * 10) 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.

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

 * 1) 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)
 * 2) --Cakedude222 (talk) 22:48, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) 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
 * 4) I've known star for years, and I can definitely say that he would be a great chat mod. -AwesomePythor
 * 5) I believe he has what it takes. -TheRealIndianaBonesSulfrix9
 * 6) I'm sure Star can do it-User:Legoanimals750]
 * 7) He's a decent, clean, level-headed fellow, would be a good mod.
 * 8) I have seen good character and authority in you and think you would be a good moderator. User:Luke_McSwagger99
 * 9) +1 by Wolfasa (dont know how to link my page like those fancy noobs :P) Invalid reason
 * 10) 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
 * 11) 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
 * 12) 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.

Neutral

 * 1) I don't really care, just going to participate. :P --WOD Not eligible to vote.
 * 2) Per Indi, but not strongly enough to oppose  Lone Lionheart 23:19, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) Cogitating. I'm getting a sense though that perhaps you need a tad more chatting experience, perhaps.
 * 4) 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

 * 1) 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
 * 2) Per Indi.
 * 3) Too Alemas for me and Per Indi
 * 4) Agreed with Indi, sorry Star.
 * 5) 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)
 * 6) 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&#39;s an actual thing. (talk) 02:49, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * 7) 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)
 * 8) 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)
 * 9) What the other oppositions said, needs more time. But I do think you have potential.
 * 10) Agreed with Bourg, Mad, and Klint. I don't think you have the necessary skills yet. 04:28, March 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * 11) 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)
 * 12) 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)
