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.

Wolfasa
Yes, I would understand that many of you would want to oppose after the stunt I pulled prior, but please hear me out.

I am saying, from here on out, I will quit doing things such as that. I want to become once again a mature and respected member of the community. Over the years, I have actually been a nice, kind, and helpful user quite often. However, on LMBW, to many that does not seem to fit my desription. I want CM so I can once again be the user that I once was, a person people looked up to and many were good friends with.

From here on out I promise I will stop any "dirty" behavior I may have once condoned, and become the person I once was. I think chat at the moment lacks a good number of helpful, active CMs and Admins. I hope I can affect that by being active and being a good part of the community. I have a lot of experience with most all of you, and I believe I can do that.

If my maturity comes into question, I fully admit that you are right in that regard. And for that, I promise that if you give me a second chance at being a nice user, I will not take it lightly, and if anyone takes offense to my actions, I shall resign.

All I ask is that you give me a second chance, that I can prove to you that I can actually be a mature and kind person. You can adress any concerns you may have to me, and I will do my best to either apologize for whatever I may have done, or tell you how I shall improve.

Thanks, - Wolfy Wolfasa (talk) 02:34, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) I think Wolfy could handle the job fairly well, as an owner in one of the G+ MB communities, I've seen Wolfy be a great Mod. -KnightoftheLight

Neutral

 * 1) Neutral untill he proves he can be mature most of the time.  L • S  • B  02:47, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Frankly, I haven't seen anything that allows my cynical self to trust you as a CM, but I have also not seen anything which would cause me to object should you be approved. --Grandpa Weirdo (yell at me)  03:05, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) I'd like to take time to get to know Wolf, and stalk him, before I swing one way or the other - Rep
 * 4) no opinion either way -mc1
 * 5) I'm not really in any position to vote yes or no, I don't know Wolf well enough. :P -Johny
 * 6) I have no opinion on this. Yada   Dark  18:17, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) not typing this out a fourth time -slice
 * 2) I stand by my remarks about your imflamitory nature. Try again in a few months and perhaps that will change.  The Double Devil (talk) 02:43, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Far too argumentative and provocative to be a CM, at least right now, not to mention the fact you've said yourself that you're here to troll at least some of the time. If you're really improving your behaviour, then I'd like to see that over time rather than just having you prove it after the fact.
 * 4) Per the above ~Psycho ~
 * 5) Per above SOE | Dameron  02:45, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Per Above.
 * 7) Per above, I've seen him get into too many heated arguments.Legofrodo12 03:20, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) Per above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 03:40, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Per Kat. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 10) Without knowing the context that the above users do, and without attempting to baselessly agree with them (as I don't know myself), I oppose. Asking for forgiveness is fine, but unfortunately to win mostly anyone over, you'll need to prove that you deserve said forgiveness, and the way that you typed your comment out above makes me feel you haven't proven it yet -- or if you have, you haven't given it enough time first to let everyone calm down. I'd go for neutral but being an opposer should show I'm a bit more serious about it. -MichiRecRoom (talk) 04:22, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 11) Per Kat, if you want to gain support you need to show that you're gonna change.
 * 12) The trick here is to first change, then go for a CM RfR, not the other way round. Agreed with the others. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:20, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 13) No. Prove you can change first then try again. LegoWebby101
 * 14) In order for me to support, I'm going to need proof that you are willingly to change. It's kind of hard for me to forget all those times you've come on chat for nothing more than to troll the chat mods, but I'm willing to look for change in you. You'll just have to find a way to change without having CM rights. ~Avalair
 * 15) Hey Wolfy. I forgive you, and I'm sure everyone else has too, but our opposes aren't based on grudges. When my trust is broken, it's difficult for me to rebuild it. Giving you Rights that could be used to kick or ban is something I'm just not ready to do, and while I hold no ill will towards you, I may never be ready for it.
 * 16) I do really like you Wolfy, but I think you have a long way to go before you can be a mod. Mods should be users who never break rules and users who aren't biased against other users. I wish I could support you but I can't.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 17:58, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 17) We don't need anymore mods, we've got enough. The fact that you WANT to be one doesn't mean there is any use in making you one.- Plurky
 * 18) Maturity comes before the promotion, not after. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 19) Per the above. -AP

 * Dear wolf. Please stop with the cancer  The Double Devil (talk) 02:36, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay yea I hear yall. I'll use this RFR as a template for how I should improve, and hopefully in a few months time I'll have convinced you that I'm sincere. -Wolfy (Im done with this editing crap, as you guys on the chat know all too well at this point)

NXTein1996
I can certainly be active whenever it is required as I am on my computer a lot and have mobile access. I feel like I have a strong enough sense of judgement to act accordingly and rightly in various disputes and issues that arise. Plus I respect all of you as people. I may not be too funny or talkative but I try my best to be genuine and really I think that is a strong quality.

Support

 * 1) NXT's an alright chap. Mature and level headed. Would make a fine CM. SOE | Dameron  02:43, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I vote yes! NXT is... pretty much what SOE said =P -Bee
 * 3) I trust NXT, he'd be a good Mod. -KnightoftheLight
 * 4) Per Fell, though I will say that I don't see you much. Not that my attention to detail is perfect... --<span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;">Grandpa Weirdo  <span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;">(yell at me)  03:05, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Mature, reasonable, and pretty level-headed, from what I've observed. - Rep
 * 6) Nxt is a very mature user, and would make a very good mod in my opinion. My advice is just get a little more active in main chat. ~Avalair
 * 7) He acts like a few other CMs whose service to the Wiki has been commendable. His attitude is something that I value in Moderators, and I have not once heard anything that would make me vote otherwise.
 * 8) Per above. Would make a great CM.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 17:59, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Per above. Yada   Dark  18:18, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) Smart guy, calm, level-headed, and as Star also said, I haven't heard anything that raises red flags.  -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 11) EW WHAT GIVING NXT POWER OVER ME WHAT IS THIS MADNESS I OBJECT xD jk nxt is a thoroughly responsible person (mostlyish :DD) and he clearly needs more things to distract him from college. per above stuff. -Tolk

Neutral

 * 1) Just haven't seen you around enough to judge, I suppose <font color="black" size="5" face="Edwardian Script ITC"> The Double Devil (talk) 02:31, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Same ~Psycho ~
 * 3) Per Izzy. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 03:36, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) I have to see more from you on chat, activity and willingness to participate in peacemaking; I don't happen to see much. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 5) ^I don't see anything negative either but still.
 * 6) Seen way too little of you to be able to judge properly. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:20, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 7) I don't know you too much, so I don't know what you're like, but from the little time talking with you, I'm leaning to supporting you. ~(kingwja)~
 * 8) pnever saw you command a situation in chat -mc1
 * 1) pnever saw you command a situation in chat -mc1

Oppose

 * 1) I don't see the point in getting more mods. It's nothing against you, it's just that we have enough mods to do the job. - plurky

Coggsworth Motors (2)
I have been here for years and have had experience getting to know the community. I get along fairly well, and I think people may find me suitable to use these tools and I guess I just kind of agree.

Support

 * 1) Coggs is a really friendly user, which is, in my opinion, vital for a chat mod. He's also good under pressure, and doesn't get into heated debates. Yes, his activity can be sporadic, but he has also been more active within the past few weeks, so perhaps he will continue being active.<p style="font-family:angerthas;font-size:14px;">Legofrodo12
 * 2) Per Frodo.
 * 3) I find no fault in the man. One of those users I have to remind myself isn't a mod already. <span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;background-color:rgb(20, 20, 20);padding:4px;border-radius:3px;">--<span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;">Grandpa Weirdo <span style="font-family:copprplgoth bt,courier new;color:gray;">(yell at me)  03:05, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Seen Coggs around for quite awhile. Always willing to step in and put everybody where they need to be when a situation arises. - Rep
 * 5) Coggs has been a mature and experienced user for quite a while now and I think he'd be an effective mod. You have to be more active, though. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 6) Totally a support. Even though I think we have more than enough mods at the moment, I know Coggs has a lot to add and I think we need skills like his. I've been waiting to see a star by that username for years. He's calm under pressure, not afraid to speak up, has a clear sense of right and wrong, yet an open mind, is friendly and sensitive to others, and generally calms an argument instead of dividing it further. A great fit for mod. - BCGirl
 * 7) Per BCGurl, Coggs is incredibly mature and I'm surprised he isnt a CM yet. ~Avalair
 * 8) I think he would be a good choice, because (first of all per the above), and second, I have never seen him get into an argument yet. ~(kingwja)~
 * 9) I haven't seen as much of Coggsworth Motors, but I've seen nothing negative from him at all. He has been kind at the very least to my friends who support him above, and if they think he will make a great Chat Moderator, so do I. And for the record, I don't oppose based on sporadic activity.

Neutral

 * 1) Neutral because activity. And yes, I know we can argue "what does it matter?", but we can also argue "what is the point?" x3 <font color="black" size="5" face="Edwardian Script ITC"> The Double Devil (talk) 02:01, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Is a good user, but doesnt really have any mod qualities. -Slice
 * 3) Basically per Slice.
 * 4) Per Izzy ~Psycho ~
 * 5) I don't know him well enough to support or oppose, but from what I can tell he'd be a good CM and I'll change my vote once I see more of him. -KnightoftheLight
 * 6) Per Slice. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 03:38, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 7) Again, seen way too little of you so far. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:20, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) He's mature but I'm not sure if he'd be a good CM. Undecided.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 18:00, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Don't really know him. Yada   Dark  18:19, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) good guy, unsure over Mod potential. -mc1
 * 11) Seems like a good candidate, and would probably support, I just haven't seen you enough to judge properly. -/\/\Y (talk)

Oppose

 * 1) Inactive, and doesn't have a good understanding of what's against the rules and what isn't. Not something I find desirable in a mod.
 * 2) Don't see any point in getting more mods: we have enough active ones to do the job. Plurky
 * 3) Wasnt going to vote but i do agree with the above. Unfortunately, there is some potential in you, but i dont think you are exactly mod material yet. ~KiraNotKirac

Comments

 * First of all, idk if im allowed to vote with a ban that ends in less than a day, even though i might not even vote on these things anymore. And I also feel Coggs would be one of those mods that are like "The word butt is not allowed" and "Dont talk about gayness" or something. Another thing is we have what, 4 new requests for mod now? Why don't we just keep addng mods, right. Hey why don't we just give everyone rights so everyone is equal and nobody can kick each other. And a lot of them are simply "Im active. Im not a bad person." and then the wiki is like "Yes, yes, we agree. You would make nicely."
 * you can vote with a ban -slice
 * Two notes on some of the comments, but first, I am happily surprised of the number of users participating in my RFR, and I respect all of you guys' opinion either way, since they seem to come from a well-informed starting point. Now, for my two comments. If there is at least one opposition, I would have to agree with Von, unfortunately. I definitely need to read up on the rules if I am going to be chat mod. I've sort of been wishy-washy about that. Second comment, and to set the record straight, I haven't ever said "The word butt is not allowed" nor "Don't talk about gayness" :P I would like to see something I actually have said in the past as an example. - Coggs
