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. At least 96 hours must pass before a request can be closed.

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.

This wasn't something I expected to run for again for a long time, but a lot has changed in the past year. New users have joined and older users have fled, I'm officially an adult, and this Wiki has gone through heck.

I took a few breaks from chat, but in the past couple months I feel like I've been much more active. I also have watched all of the Administrators and Chat Moderators to see how they handle things, and I've kept track of complaints users have of their performance. In the past year I feel that I've learned the various dynamics of chat and even settled differences with people whom I felt I might have had tensions with.

As for my credentials, I'm a Chat Moderator over on LEGO Minifigures Online Wiki, and you're free to ask anyone there what they thought of my Chat Moderating prowess. (The Wiki became mostly inactive and chat is no longer used except on very rare occasions.) I'm also on chat every day, and I'm willing to become even more active to help the community.

I ask that you grant me the chance to moderate LEGO Message Boards Wiki chat not just for the users who support this RFR, but for the users who oppose as well. I look forward to serving all of you, because I love you all.

Support

 * 1) Star is a longstanding member of our community, very mature, and is very aware of the rules and careful with them. I can't believe he's not a CM already, to be absolutely honest. xD Anyway, full support to Star. -Skully
 * 2) Most definitely. Per Skul all the way. - Felldo 16:58, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, I think Starr is a very mature user and has basically every quality a chat moderator should have. Not only that, but Starr has helped me, as well as others, get to where we are today and has been a very supportive person. Good luck man. Avalair ★  Talk  ★  Wall 
 * 4) Starr rocks. He's a longtime member of the community, active, and possesses a lot of good qualities that are strangely lacking among most of the current staff. That being said, I believe he will be a good addition to the team. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 5) Per everything Skul said. -Wolfasa
 * 6) Definite support, Starr is one of the most mature users I know and would be an excellent CM. -AP
 * 7) For once, I've got a good feeling about this. Mature, nice chap, doesn't get in trouble. Would make a good CM, methinks. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 17:21, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) Star is kind, helpful, and would make a good CM. -Sam
 * 9) Per all the above. -Derpulse
 * 10) Per above. LegoWebby101
 * 11) I just woke up and was gonna neutral cause, though Star is mature I couldn't think of any instances that screamed "chatmod" to me. But I do recall some times when he would try to change subjects and such when things were going badly and I think he'd be a good addition to the CM team.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 17:33, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 12) Per Skull. Purplebrick333 (talk) 22:58, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 13) Per Spidey except I'm about to fall asleep. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 14) Yes! You were a great mod on LMOW and very friendly, very mature. Perfect CM for here. Yada   Dark  15:08, February 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep, per Skul. :D -Johny

Neutral

 * 1) He's mature and level-headed, but he's not really a night-time user, which is the only place we kinda need new mods, so there isn't really a need for him. I mean, he'd probably be good, but per Slice. Lilac Neko (talk) 19:56, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) We just don't really need anymore mods right now and agreed with Kat and Slicer. Leaning towards support more but I'm not quite sure yet.
 * 3) I'm not so sure if he/she is going to be a great moderator. If I say yes, my choice doesn't seem right, but if I say no, I feel like that I'm hurting your feelings. So I'm neutral. - T-007Bond a.k.a LEGOrebootedcp
 * 4) Per Mad.

Oppose

 * 1) Nothing personal, but I stick to my believe that we have enough CM's to do the job. If we'd need more, you are the user I'd support, but we simply don't - Plurky
 * 2) we don't need more cms, at this time of writing we have 9/16 users with CM or higher. And this saturation of CM applies at all times . - MC1
 * 3) Star is the type of person to try to end apprpriate conversations because he doesn't like them. For that I oppose. -Slice
 * 4) You're certainly well behaved and mature enough, but I don't really see any actual drive to be a CM, and when you're on chat I just don't really see any chat mod qualities or particular behaviour that indicates being a good CM. Also being honest, I share Slice's concern. I'm not opposed to you being CM some time in the future, but right now I need more convincing that you actually want and would be devoted to the rights.
 * 5) Per Slice and Mad. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 19:53, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) in support of Slice's and Mad's points Guac
 * 7) Slice and Madkat sum it up perfectly. I like talking to you Starr, but as of now I don't really see you as a CM. Perhaps that'll change in the future, but we'll need to be convinced that you really are dedicated to these rights. Also, keep in mind that this isn't some corporate ladder you're climbing, being CM is a job and a responsibility. -~π~ (talk) 21:05, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) Per slice, for sure.  The Double Devil  (talk) 22:49, February 27, 2016 (UTC)

Comments

 * "I'm not opposed to you being CM some time in the future." I'm just going to take a moment to say how sick I am of that sentence. It has been echoed by numerous people of my RfRs, even after "some time in the future," and I see it cropping up again. Honestly, it really just comes across to me as hurtful, like some throwaway line that effectually means, "I oppose, and I'm going to oppose next time, too, but cheers to next time." I don't know. I just feel my gut twisting in knots to see the words repeated again. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * Or maybe it just means "I see potential CM qualities in you, however there are other factors at play which mean I cannot vote for you as of now until other issues are resolved and said CM qualities become more prevalent".
