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. 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. 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.

OK, well, I've been waiting quite awhile to do this and now I'm finally gonna suck it up and do it. I've been an active chat member for quite a while now, and I think I'd make a good CM as I am on chat very often (And not AFK the whole time) and I'd not hesitate to kick/ban someone breaking the rules, even if they are a friend of mine. I also noticed there aren't as many Mods on late at night or early in the morning, and most of the time I'm on at those times anyway (Or at least the morning ) I've also never been kicked or banned on either of my accounts and I've logged chat quite a few times.

Neutral

 * I haven't known you that long. But you are very good at keeping the peace in chat. I might reconsider.
 * I think he could be a good mod, but I'd give him some more time.
 * I don't think we need any new mods right now, so I'd only support if I think you'd do an outstanding job. Peregrin Took (talk)

Oppose

 * 1) Haven't seen much, but from what I have seen, it doesn't look like he'd be able to handle a touch situation on chat. Dinosaur Office RAWR!

Comments

 * @Kat, give me some more time for what?
 * I'd support you in the future, but not just yet. I haven't seen you on chat a whole lot.
 * Ah, ok. Avalair 15:21, July 19, 2014 (UTC)

Considering the recent dramas on chat involving the job-doing or lack thereof of the few late-night mods, I decided I might as well try. I'm on between at least 4 and 10 PM my time (11 PM-5 AM EST, I think, correct me if I'm wrong), all through the deepest depths of night; before people like Marc, Guac, Mess and Alemas and I leave in time enough for others to arrive, usually. I've considered going for mod before but never reeeally seen the need for it; having a late-night mod who could be active all throughout would certainly be a benefit, considering those hours are my most active internet/computer-wise in my whole (week)day. I hope you can trust my judgment enough, which is my main concern. - Twisted 12:13, July 19, 2014 (UTC)

Edit: There are others who could fill the same time slot; Kep below has an RfR though I think I'm on a lot more consistently than him. Pauline is also on chat for most of that time.

Support

 * 1) I support. c: -Paulinekovaleva
 * 2) Benboy
 * 3) I've always thought he'd make a good CM. Avalair 12:35, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) I think you'd do well with these rights. Peregrin Took (talk)

Neutral

 * 1) Im not quiet sure about this so far so I'll stay neutral. Marcel77799 (talk)
 * 2) Not sure, but certainly not opposing. Green-kool-aid-man.jpg  LCF  (talk! ) Purple-kool-aid-man.jpg 16:59, July 19, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) At times he acts like a good moderator, but he can also sometimes be rude. I'd like to see more consistency in his behavior. Dinosaur Office RAWR!
 * 2) Too rude,too many bans. Holds grudges. No chance. - MC1
 * 3) He's certainly improved the last few months but he still has issues with being rude.
 * 4) Too rude, and I feel he would abuse his power as a CM. -Lelouch vi Britannia

Keplers
What the heck.

I have seen little to no mods on late at night and thought I could be of some help in that regard. I request users to please stop of late and attempted to get mods' attentions on things in chat as well. Same as White-Shadows, sometimes my attempts to get a mod don't work. I am never AFK for more than five minutes at a time and would make a good, active mod.

Support

 * 1) The only flaw is his attitude. And all of you opposing him for his "block": His block was for calling someone hot. -Lelouch vi Britannia
 * 2) I think Keplers is a great user, and he could be a good mod. -Paulinekovaleva

Neutral

 * 1) L • S  • B
 * 2) A bit stuck in the middle. I think he could do a good job as a mod but would be rather biased in some ways. - Twisted
 * 3) don't know you well
 * 4) Not positively sure. Judging by his rants on chat, he'd seem to be a very strict, rule-enforcing mod... Which isn't necessarily bad, but some people might not like it. No one likes the super-strict mods nowadays. Satoshi2 (talk) 16:35, July 12, 2014 (UTC)Satoshi2
 * 5) Benboy
 * 6) I'd definetly be willing to support in the future, but I think we have more than enough mods at the moment.
 * 7) Marcel77799 (talk)
 * 1) Marcel77799 (talk)

Oppose

 * 1) He has a rather bad attitude on chat, and maturity concerns.
 * 2) Was just unblocked, and per above. 23:43, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) I generally think you could be a good CM in the future, but not now. You just got back from a block around a week ago, and after tonight's incident, I don't think the way you tolerate people you dislike is what I want in a CM. - White Shadows  23:43, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Per Klint Green-kool-aid-man.jpg LCF  (talk! ) Purple-kool-aid-man.jpg 23:44, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Keplers, you just came back from a block and you have been kicked multiple times recently. You could potentially become a mod in the future, but not at this point.
 * 6) Too many bans/kicks. Attitude hasnt improved much. For now no. -MC1
 * 7) Far too aggressive when dealing with users, methinks. Plus, maturity concerns, and general bad attitude towards some members of the Wiki. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:27, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 8) Per Klint. Avalair 15:30, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 9) Rather rude from time to time. Impulse
 * 10) He seems a tad Biased, per all the above oppose posts. And because he tends to get carried away with the power. Youngjusticeforever

Comments

 * @Rys opposing him for his block is silly I agree, but he's pretty much downright rude on chat.
 * I admit I can sometime have issues there, but I've seen lots of mods with such issues. Also, I was just dealing with a high-scale troll that had crossed the line on three different websites and was just blowing my fuse. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 23:47, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Keplers, it was you that provoked him in the first place.
 * In undoing an edit that consisted of false information? —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 23:50, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * That was just, yes, but you then kept insulting him in chat.
 * Mm, yeah. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 23:55, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I sense you speak of me. YJF am i correct?
 * @AS's Oppose: I actually agree with you and didn't think this would get through. I will be making a Request #2 at a future point when I am more capable, but today you are right. The only thing I can disagree with is the block, as Von said in his Support. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 23:55, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Netbag
OK, first off, I have been wanting to do this for a while now, I just didn't have the guts to do it. :P That said, I want to be a CM for a few reasons. One, I have been on chat a few times now when we (general chat) ended up talking about sexual innuendo, once with a mod participating. No one was intervening. Two, someone asked me to put in A request, and three, I am (generally) a fair and mature person, and I will consult other CMs before kicking/banning someone. If you decide to put "Oppose" please put how you think I could become a better CM in the future in the comments section. Thanks, Netbag (talk) 19:59, July 8, 2014 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) He might be fairly new but I believe he could be an effective mod.

 * 3) Green-kool-aid-man.jpg LCF  (talk! ) Purple-kool-aid-man.jpg 20:59, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) He'd be better then some of the MODs we have now. Support. I know he pretty well also.  L  • S  • B
 * 5) Benboy
 * 22:29, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) While he hasn't been here for very long, he meets the requirements and would make a good mod.
 * 2) -Lelouch vi Britannia
 * 3) Another good lad. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 12:33, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't think you are ready to be a mod yet, you haven't even been on the wiki for 3 months...
 * Per Spy.
 * Same as above- Mc1
 * ^ - Twisted

 * I don't know you that well.. but per Spy. Đrake (talk) 00:27, July 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't know you too great
 * Not 100% sure yet. Marcel77799 (talk)

Oppose

 * 1) Canvassing on chat. <font color="#000080">MsD  <font color="FF0000">talk 22:21, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's only canvassing to ask for supports.


 * 1) Doesn't meet recommended requirements, maturity concerns, ect. Comment: (too lazy to put this in comments) @MsD canvassing is allowed and generally encouraged as long as the said user isn't asking/begging for supports. Linking to the page itself is perfectly fine.  22:24, July 8, 2014 (UTC) (moved to support - misread the requirements lol)
 * 2) I don't really know the guy, so I don't feel comfortable making him a moderator (yet). Dinosaur Office RAWR!
 * If you place a vote for this reason, it should typically be under neutral. Opposing someone because you don't know them is traditionally considered a very poor reason. Drewlzoo

Comments

 * I expected someone wouldn't like my reason for opposition. I personally only want moderators who I know I can trust. I don't know I can trust Netbag yet, so I don't want him to become a moderator yet. Dinosaur Office RAWR!


 * To Spy and everyone who argrees, if I wont be a good mod because I am still semi-new, then why does it have 2 mon. under requirements? :P
 * I did not say you wouldn't be a good mod, I just think you are a bit too new for CM, but that's just my opinion. 2 months is just the minimum requirement.


 * This is going to sound rude, and I don't mean it to be...but who are you?
