LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Requests for Rights/Forum Moderator

This is LMBW's requests for forum moderator page. If you wish to request forum moderator rights, please make sure you fulfill the requirements listed here and here. Forum moderators have the ability to to highlight forums, delete messages, and close threads.

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 15 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 forum 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.

I recently became a chat moderator and have been a patroller for nearly a year. I believe I am fully capable of enforcing community forum rules and performing forum moderator duties, as they aren't much different from my current rights.

Support

 * 1) You hat collector, you... I think you're mature, behaved, and very active. So you would do well. :3 >---Avalair---> (Talk to meh) 21:19, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Nearly every thread I browse, Ben is in it somewhere... full support, for the previous reason(He views practically every thread), and he would uphold the policy well.
 * 3) Mature and capable, full support. Derpulse (talk) 21:22, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Well, I support. xD Per above. - izzybe5
 * 5) Support, per Kat. Carchathol Arodan (talk) 21:25, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Agreed with everyone else. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 21:59, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 7) Per above. 22:07, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 8) Agree with all of the above.
 * 9) Per Ava AwesomePythor
 * 10) Per above User:Legoanimals750
 * 11) At this point I'd support you for administrator, if only admin rights didn't equate to feeling of authority. I feel like you could use the tools associated with them though. :) --Bourgeoisie (talk) 00:29, April 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * 12) per all guys - Fortress of the Night

Bourgeoisie
Since I joined this wiki I've been active in its forums, both in establishing different boards and guidelines, and using them to discuss topics of interest with the community. I'm well aware on the difference between constructive and nonconstructive discussion, and am capable of understanding and enacting any guidelines and policies that affect the forums here. I have nearly 100 contributions to forum threads on this account, and when combined with other accounts I have several hundred total forum contributions.

Support

 * 1) You're mature and behaved. I support. >---Avalair---> (Talk to meh) 21:16, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Per above, you would do well with these rights.
 * 3) You have shown that you are trying to improve this wiki recently. I think you'd do well. Marcel77799 (talk) 21:22, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) I'll echo Alemas's concerns about you needing to work on being a bit nicer, but I still feel you would do well with these rights. You've shown you can contribute well to discussions, and uphold rules and policies. Mel
 * 5) Per Melt.
 * 6) Mature, responsible, level-headed. Would support for CM and admin and buro and CU as well ily. - Fortress of the Night

Neutral

 * 1) Undecided, leaning towards support.

Oppose

 * 1) Opposing cuz it's an invalid request. I might switch back. Derpulse (talk) 21:25, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's invalid because of a point Obi the LEGO Fan added to the policy without having it discussed formally. Apparently it was decided in chat among some of the users who were online at the time. That's not a legitimate way to add the policy, so when I have the chance to discuss it with Obi I will. Being an "invalid" request isn't a reason to oppose though. Supporting and opposing is based on what you think my ability to correctly and effectively use the rights are. --Bourgeoisie (talk) 21:30, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Obi also made the threshold 15 votes with no input from anyone else, even tho I suggested 10. So, if that's what you believe shouldn't we not take any requests right now...? Derpulse (talk) 21:32, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's necessary, but if you PM me in chat maybe we could put together a quick forum to review a few of the points that were added to the RFR policy about forum moderators. --Bourgeoisie (talk) 21:34, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Everyone in this thread, yourself included Bourg, agreed on the ban thing. The number of months/weeks can definitely be adjusted though. Also we can change the threshold too, but that was discussed, most users thought that 15 was a good number. We can start a community vote if y'all want to. 22:06, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Just as a thought, I find it a little odd that the length without ban for forum moderators is a month longer then the length for Chat Moderators. Seeing as how blocks are usually for behavior on chat, the extra length doesn't make a lot of sense. Mel
 * I agree, lol. 22:16, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * For recent blocks, I'd understand. But for bans, I don't see it influencing forum activity/ability. Same thing with patroller. If a recent ban did influence my participation in the forums, that'd be reason to oppose, but I don't see it as something to disallow requests for. --Bourgeoisie (talk) 00:22, April 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) I find him quite arrogant, not something I'd want in a forum moderator. Sure, he may be able to enforce policies correctly, but I still find his attitude not ideal. If he can be a bit nicer in certain situations, I may change my mind. And please don't harass me over my decision. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 21:53, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you indicate where I may have done this in the forums though? Generally I like to be clear with my reasonings providing plenty of sources to inform other users or back my position up. This is not to be arrogant, but simply be clear and informative. I'd rather be too informative than too vague, if you understand. If you're referring to my attitude in other situations besides how I tend to respond to forums, I'd like to know what exactly you think I'm doing that comes across as arrogant or not nice. --Bourgeoisie (talk) 00:22, April 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Per Alemas Slicer Vorzakh (talk) 21:54, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) I have to agree with Alemas as well. Carchathol Arodan (talk) 21:55, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
