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, press the button below and fill out the requested field(s).

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.

Kiff9Probably
Always wanted to and I like power.

But ofc, I do have legitimate reasons for wanting to be a CM. I'm one of the older surviving members of the early-mid days of the wiki, and although I have been inactive for a number of months, I still check in very often to see what's going on around here. For the past few months, I have popped up on chat multiple times a month, and for the last year I constantly check the blogs and even edit history of the wiki to see what big changes (and small changes) are going on. My knowledge of the wiki and its workings is a great asset, and I've had both experience being a CM on wikia and on other forums, chat groups, and websites to understand what it takes. I'm the effective ace in your sleeve you want for the janitorial work that is removing spammy dupes, destructive users, and poor discussion ethics. While my personality does often revolve around humor on this wiki and the chat, I'm no-nonsense when it comes to rule-breaking or squabbles of any sort.

For the users who believe me to be a new user, I can assure you I'm not. Check me out on the wiki's history under any of these names: Kiff9, KifferTheGreat, or Doctor Flux

 * 5) While I concur with the supporting votes, CMs should be here long enough to know the policy well. If Kiff had been here consistently since, what, 2014, I'd support in a heartbeat. 23:30, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Roddy15
Okay I accidently lost my last "brief paragraph" so this is actually my second take.

Briefly, if you don't know me I'm Roddy15, joined in 2011, popped in every 6-12 months until last summer when I decided to stay. Rest is history.

Why support me now? Well, lots of new users are joining so we need more people. Do I have experience? Yeah, about five years of it. Be it on MLNTeam or other smaller LEGO forums. My moderation style on some of those sites as you can imagine was pretty strict but some were pretty slack so I don't really have a particular style overall. I'll let people post specific questions rather than boring you about my experience, though.

Hope people will consider me and if you have questions or comments put them in the comments (obviously). And yes I broke this rfr. - Roddy

Support

 * 1) Roddy's a mature, experienced user who would make a great Mod. Support. -Sam
 * 2) Per Sam. ~ Vera ( Message me )
 * 3) You're active and mature so I think you'll be a good CM. LegoWebby101
 * 4) Per your reasons, basically. Brick425 (talk) 00:27, January 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * 5) per everyone -slice
 * 6) I've been watching Roddy, and I've seen him handle situations on chat well. He is also one of the most mature and experienced users around. I think he'd be a great Chat Moderator. QuantumHedgehog • Message Me • Contributions • 
 * 7)  per above ~Ally 
 * 8) I've seen Roddy demonstrate level-headedness and maturity for a long while now, and with the increased userbase, he's someone trustworthy with the rights. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 9) hell ya, per above ~le skule
 * 10) Roddy's always come across as one of the more level headed and mature users on the wiki, more so than many of the current CMs frankly, per above. Monocle Man   ( wall  •  contribs ) 16:38, January 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * 11) A thoroughly nice ol' chap with a fair and reasonable mind. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 22:43, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Neutral

 * Er, I saw this out of nowhere. I need some time Romaniandude12 (talk) 00:11, January 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ehh, I'm going neutral for now, sort of leaning toward oppose. I have seen things from Roddy in the past that make me a little uneasy about modding him. I've known him to comfortably say some rude things and have a low respect level for rules and other user's ideas. I've had to give warnings for things in chat as well, which I would hope to never have had to do for someone qualified for mod. On the other hand, I have seen some helpful things come from Roddy as well. Especially recently I feel like his character has improved and the other day he even did speak up and helped in a minor chat situation. Also though, I feel like we're rushing things a tad. I think we're pretty well off for number of mods. A couple more maybe wouldn't hurt, but I can think of other users I'd rather mod first, before resorting to my second or third choices like Roddy. Roddy is cool, and been here a while to be familiar with how things work and all, but I'm not sure about mod... So I'm not settled on oppose, but not ready to support. 

Comments

 * BCG could we maybe talk specifics at some point? I honestly don't recall these things so to be reminded of them can allow me to clear things up a bit. You can put them wherever suits, through PM when we're both on chat or here if it suits. Would be a bit unfair not to do this no? - Roddy
 * Oh sure, yeah that would probably be a good idea. I can recall some specifics, but it would take some effort to like find links. But yeah, I'd be happy to go over what I mentioned. Glad you'd be open to explaining things or improving where possible.
