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.

I'm finally running for moderator. I believe I can fairly use these rights and be an asset to chat. I have been rarely kicked or warned and never banned. I am also active on chat for hours each day, often at time when no mods are on or the mods are away. I will not hesitate to warn, kick, or ban misbehaving users and am confident I can be a responsible moderator.

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!
 * 2) From what I've seen of him, he is more liable to enter a flame war than say something in an attempt to end it. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 17:51, July 19, 2014 (UTC)

 * @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
 * 5) He is rather rude at times, and I don't think he'd make a good moderator especially because of that. Also, I and a few other girls would refer to him as a perv/creep/whatever you'd like to call it, because of the PMs he has sent to us. I'm not letting go of that any time soon. ~Indigo
 * 6) Per Von. -Impulse
 * I've yet to hear anyone but yourself saying anything about this; afaik I haven't done anything inappropriate in PM before... - Twisted
 * 1) He can be very rude and I think it would not be good if moderators couldn't kick him. For now at least.
 * 2) I don't feel I could trust him with these powers. Per MC and Indi. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 17:51, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Trolled me on chat once.... --Netbag (talk) 21:49, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * May I question if this is a valid oppose? - Twisted
 * 1) Rudeness, mainly. Other issues as well, which I can't recall right now as it's 01:46AM. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 23:47, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Doesn't own up to his actions sometimes, and is rather rude. I can't trust him.  L • S  • B
 * 3) I really want to support you, Alpha, because there have been times when you have really stepped up and handled a situation very maturely. That being said, there have been just as many, if not more, times when you completely handled it wrong. Like some other users have said, I would like to see consistent good behavior. So down the road, odds are I will support because I think you definitely have potential, and you are on late. But not right now. Ireithien
 * 4) Sorry Twisted, although I have to oppose. So, I'll just provide some of my own feedback because opposing without feedback isn't quite helpful, is it? I know you're a goodhearted user however there seems to be behavior swings, and like the above said, it's not quite consistent. You have potential to be a good mod; everyone does in fact! I just think you need more time to hang around and improve. Some examples to keep in mind to as a user is Assume Good Faith, don't bite the newcomers, and the snowball clauses, and those are just a few. I'm not saying that you don't do any of those, but they're just examples. Just practice them more often! Codyn329 (talk) 06:09, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Most of the opposing users have a very good point. But mainly: Is there really a reason for him to be CM other than no late-night CMs? The ultimate mastermind OF DOOOOOOOM! (talk) 06:14, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Per Codyn, all the way. Definitely work on practicing them more and try to stay neutral in any arguments (not saying you don't.) - White Shadows  06:19, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Comments

 * You say you are on more consistently than me. This is the case only because of my current situation; I will soon be on every night just as consistently. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 18:18, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's good. Unfortunately your RfR was unsuccessful, so... another four weeks to wait on that. - Twisted


 * Don't get me wrong, you've had your moments when you're great at reporting things that happened on chat, and telling users to stop, a.k.a enforcing the rules..... but you also have your other moments as well like a lot of others said: "Rude". And even though it's kind of far in the past, I can't forget how you've treated some newbies. (all females from what I recall) I'm still debating my vote though.  L • <font style="color: white;">S  <font style="color: blue;">B
 * Twisted, it wasn't enough to be considered "inappropriate"- if you'd gone that far, I would've banned you. But yes, I have at least three witnesses of you PMing many different girls, kissing them, telling you them you love them, and all that gross stuff. You remember that? I told you to leave me alone, and you tried to "blackmail" me. I don't want to start up an argument about this, but if you or anyone else wants to know more about this, I have multiple other people who knew about this- as well as a few of the other girls you did it to. There. It was disgusting. And also, I told two different admins about this a long while back, and there's no need to go on about this. ~Indigo
 * Per Indi. I know two others besides Indi, who told me about this matter. And even a few logs, which I didn't save. ** <span class="LSB-Sig" style="background: saddlebrown;text-shadow: 0 0 5px #4D4DFF;color:white;padding:0em 0.5em;border: solid 3px wheat;"> <font style="color: red;">L • <font style="color: white;">S  • <font style="color: blue;">B
 * I'm sorry, what? I'm pretty sure if I'd ever done anything like that, I would remember it. - Twisted
 * No one wants a CM that doesn't own up to his or hers actions. I'm 100% opposing, and I hope the rest will reconsider. <span class="LSB-Sig" style="background: saddlebrown;text-shadow: 0 0 5px #4D4DFF;color:white;padding:0em 0.5em;border: solid 3px wheat;"> <font style="color: red;">L • <font style="color: white;">S  • <font style="color: blue;">B
 * Per LSB. I can't believe you're denying it. If you, or anyone else doesn't believe LSB and I, we have witnesses. And have I ever lied to any of you? No. I wouldn't lie over something silly like that. ~Indigo
