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.

Before you say anything about the time between my RfRs, Ava and Alemas gave me permission to put up another Request early because my last RfR was such a close call, and lately there has been problems caused in night chat, all of which could have easily been avoided had I been a Chat Moderator. I feel that I have improved since that last RfR, I've been using Common Sense, and I've tried to be more mature. I'm also incredibly acitve, and I'm on chat when there are no CMs on or they are all away and a troll is causing trouble. I hope that I can help all of you as you have all helped me improve myself.

Support

 * 1) Hyper would make a wonderful mod, as he has shown the past few weeks. He knows how to accept criticism and I am surprised at how much he changed between the time of his last RfR and now. He is on at times when we are in dire need of Chat Mods and Hyper is an exlampary candidate.  Avalair  ★   Talk   ★  Wall 
 * 2) I still have the same opinion as the last RfR: Hyper is a very friendly and active user, and would be a good mod to deal with trolls. Yada   Dark  18:52, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) deserved to be promoted last time had it not be for exerting technicalities to favour some.....regardless, I don't feel I need to explain myself, I did so in the previous one and stand by my comments and more importantly Hyper. -mc
 * 4) He's on all the time, and there's a need of another mod or two.  I don't see anything that causes me to oppose. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 5) Given how night chat's ending up, a guy like Hyper, with his attitude, is exactly the sort of antidote to its degradation. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 19:48, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) He'd make a good mod, I think. I haven't much else to say. ~GandalftheWizard
 * 7) See Ale's. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 8) This is a light support and I was originally considering a neutral vote. I do think that Hyper has what it takes to be a mod. He has his flaws sure (you know, taking rules very literally and not getting a feel for what the users in chat want) but everyone has a few flaws and I believe he will be able to better work through said flaws easier if he were a moderator, and we are actually kind of in need of moderators at the moment, also Hyper is a good guy so :P Swipe -- Swipe chat
 * 9) With some guidance I'm sure he'll get the hang of it rather quickly. Frankly, Slice and I need consistent backup at night desperately. -AP
 * 10) Per Ale yes. -SoE
 * 11) Yes yes yes. I believe he is needed and will do better than having no CM on at all. I feel like he has improved, and at least is willing to improve, so I now support with less hesitance than before. Thus says kƎd
 * 12) Per above. -BlizardBrick
 * 13) I've seen enough from hyper to see that he'd be a decent CM. Mature and level-headed, I've never seen him resort to personal attacks even when harassed.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 05:21, June 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * 14) I'm voting yes as I feel you'll make a good mod, not a great one though. As you've said so yourself, you're trying ot change for the better and be a bit more mature which I really appreciate.  But sometimes I feel that you take serious matters lightly and light matters seriously. (I don't have any hard proof of this so please son't target me for making such a statement, it's what I feel.) Also, when using your "common sense" please try to imagine/think about how the other person might react/feel. Just saying as sometimes you don't know how volatile peeps are. (for Ex: Me.) Anyways, since you're pretty active here, know a lot of us and also since you've fit in here pretty well (which I haven't managed to accomplish yet, sadly...) I think you'll make a pretty good mod. :D Just please try to understand how the other person might react and DON'T jump into potential arguments please. It's better to avoid them for some peace.

Neutral

 * 1) Don't really know much about him, so I'm neutral in this decision. - Rebooted aka the T-007
 * 2) On the one hand, he has a tendency to act like a "mini-mod," so to speak, and I question his opinions on common sense policy, as others have suggested below. However, he also appears to be more mature than other users, and is on consistently. So neutral for now. - Dr. Satl, M.D.
 * 3) Eh.-Pacman87
 * 4) ehhh NG (talk) 03:13, June 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Sorry dude, I feel like a month, maybe, between votes is reasonable. If you wait a little more time then I'll vote yes again. :P -Johny

Oppose

 * 1) From my last one: "Nope. Hype is a person that takes the rules very literally and doesn't pay much attention to common sense. He isn't the most mature person and doesn't seem matue enough to handle it. He isn't very tolerant of other views, example being his reaction to my saying I'd oppose him in chat. Slicer Vorzakh"
 * 2) Sorry man, gotta agree with Slice. -Rus
 * 3) While I supported last time, his recent behaviour has made me decide against supporting. He overreacts to everything, isn't flexible whatsoever, and shows no use of common sense. He freaks out even when people aren't breaking the rules, which isn't a good quality for a CM. Per the above. -Skul
 * 4) Immaturity deserves no rewards. You didn't seem up to the task before, and pretty sure that hasn't changed in only a few weeks.  The Double Devil (talk) 20:58, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Per everyone above. He also seems really desperate to have CM which seems odd. Edit: and to everyone who says he's changed a lot since his last vote two weeks isn't enough imo, unsure of why he gets special treatment tbh
 * 6) He hasn't been here very long, i question his understandings of chat rules, and he lacks common sense. -Kira
 * 7) agreed with above -benboy
 * 8) Per Slice and Skul. Besides, you pretty much act like a mod anyways. When we were having a conversation a few nights ago that you were offended by, you told us to go to a different wiki. Also, it's been two weeks since your last vote. You've only changed for the worse. Spoiler alert: You don't have CM yet. Stop acting like it and be more open and tolerating to the usual night chat conversations and I may change my mind. Brick425 (talk) 02:53, June 19, 2016 (UTC)

Comments

 * I know this sounds stupid, but you know the best way to get rid of a mini-mod? Give them a star. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * Could you maybe elaborate on that, Skul? HyperFlash Studios (talk) 20:19, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Alemas, if there are multiple admins that are fine with and are a part of the "night chat" I don't think this mean it's degraded so badly. -the guy who no body can take a joke from
 * Uhh... Is Izzy even allowed to vote? She left the wiki and hasnt been on chat since Hyper's last RfR meaning she wouldnt even know if Hyper has changed at all.  Avalair  ★   Talk   ★   Wall 
 * "Immaturity deserves no rewards." Said the person who came back just to hold back someone with whom she held a grudge. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * Aw sweeties. I'm sorry that my opinion is different than yours. c: But uh oh! Guess who's got two eyes and can read chat logs? This girl!  The Double Devil (talk) 21:16, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, because this was definitely solely because you held a different opinion from me. My sincerest and most profuse apologies, madam, for offending your infallible taste. Indeed, thine eyes dost read and the logs thou seest. I humble myself before you, O greatest highness, that never again shall I question your perfect choices. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * Too bad you don't seem to have those two eyes and the ability to read when it comes to night chat logs... Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 21:20, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't accuse me for me for being biased, when you came to the place you supposedly hate just to oppose someone. If you're "retired" why do you even care who has Chat Mod or not?? And don't say you've been reading chat logs either because if you have you would know that we are in dire need of chat mods during times when Hyper is online. Also, I would feel the same way if you supported because a retired user should have no say in what goes on in chat if they will not be there.  Avalair   ★   Talk   ★   Wall 
 * Alemas, I think you're my new favorite admin. Your heat is insane. Your fire > all sass. You're the man. Brick425 (talk) 02:57, June 19, 2016 (UTC)
