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.

Alrighty, there are a four reasons for my request for CM rights. First: I consider myself to be a generally mature and levelheaded person , and I wholeheartedly intend to act as befits a CM in matters where one is needed. Second: I have more than enough edits. Third: Most of the time when I'm on chat (usually around the middle of the day EST), there are only 3-5 mods on, and the majority of them are MIA. And Fourth: I'm just a tad curious as to whether or not you folks think I'm mod material. - Felldo 05:03, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Heck yeah! :'D -Johny Invalid support reason.
 * 2) You're online a fair amount when users like Jdude are not. You also exhibit qualities I would want in a CM personally. And judging by your LMB activity, I think you're here for the long run.
 * 3) You're an awesome guy, and I think you'd make a fantastic chat mod! :3. ~Pancakes :D~
 * 4) Definitely. You are super mature and have a good sense of discernment. My advice is just get a little more active in main. But you have my support!  Avalair  ★   Talk   ★   Wall 
 * 5) Per Ava and Star ~BlizardBrick

Neutral

 * 1) I literally have no idea who you are  The Double Devil (talk) 05:37, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Same. - Coggs
 * 3) I haven't seen you do much to warrant a CM position. Granted, I've not been around much lately, but I've seen you before and either held you in a negative or neutral light. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 4) Seem like a smart and neat guy, not sure about how well you'd CM. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 5) As MY said you seem like a good guy but I'm not sure how you'd do as a CM.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 19:49, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Hmm... I don't know. Yada   Dark  19:57, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Hmm... I don't know. Yada   Dark  19:57, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

 * Keps: Negative light? Could you please elaborate so I can correct any faults in myself?
 * Just being immature; it was a while back and I may have mistaken you for LFY. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.

Ha okay, everybody. What's up? You all know me, love me (some of you), hate me, etc. Here I am though, applying to become a chat mod because...there's nobody on chat right now, and I have been tasked to keep the peace in the vibrant and ever evolving chat that is LMBW, and because I quality. I have 461 edits all around, including several LMB related edits. I've also been around you weirdos since October of 2012. To chat moderate effectively, I realized I would need one of those shiny stars. Very nice star, and it shows authority, thus making folks more obedient.

Now, I know what you fine people may say to oppose. "Ayy, weren't you gone for like, a really long time?" Yes, observant chat user! I was, but now I am back, much like a surprise STD. You think you got rid of me, but bloop! Here I am! :D Some of you may say that I...bend the rules of the chat, push boundaries, disregard authority, and "stir up strife." I did, but it's something I'm working on. Seriously. Others of you may say that I dont/wouldnt take this seriously, and you'd cite this whole request. While I am a very...light-hearted individual (I love jokes of all kinds from anti-jokes, to 9/11 jokes, to Helen Keller jokes, clean jokes, dirty jokes, puns, and even just cringy jokes), I also hold many IRL responsibilities that I take very seriously, and excel at them. Honestly, I'm pretty friggin' responsible when tasked with something.

I was going to do a third paragraph about why you should support me, but...I honestly cant think of a reason why. I mean, I...nah. Cant think of a reason. That's what you all are for! :D So, please vote, leave comments, oppose, support, and vote neutral (love your neuties! <3)!

Neutral

 * 1) I honestly don't now you that well. :P Romaniandude12 (talk) 00:21, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I haven't seen enough. You're pretty nice to me and I won't oppose, but this felt like it came out of left field. Sorry.
 * 3) Haven't seen you enough to judge properly. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 01:31, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) I haven't seen much of your stuff on chat, so I don't have a very educated opinion. ~Pancakes :D~ (talk) 02:41, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Per Ava.
 * 6) Per Star. - Felldo 04:37, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Is this...a joke? xDD No! You're not very polite, imflamitory, and you're certainly not mature enough to be a mod. Try again another time.  The Double Devil (talk) 00:12, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Much like my opposition reasons on Wolfasa's RfR, the change is supposed to come before receiving the rights. You are a good user Rep, you do have what it takes to be a good Chat Moderator, just not right now. I'd like to see you showing how mature you are now instead of after you become a CM. Keep working though, maybe in a few months you will be ready.  Avalair   ★   Talk   ★   Wall 
 * 3) Per Ava
 * 4) Per Ava. You're a good guy but I don't that will equate to being a good CM. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 5) If you say you "love 9/11...dirty jokes" in your RfR, something is wrong. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 6) Sorry man. You're a cool guy but you do break policy frequently.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 19:50, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 7) I saw him like, once, so defenitely no. Yada   Dark  19:58, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) Sorry, per Ava - Rus

Comments

 * I am moderately polite :P
 * You crack me up
 * Yes SR, it totally came out of left field on my part. :P Guac made a joke about, "Ayy Rep, keep an eye on everybody since there's no active CM. ha ha ha ha ha." So I said, "Ha! Okay, give me a star, and it shall be so." "I cant give you a star," said Guac. So now, I appeal to those of you who can, the people. :D
 * Your reason for running seems very out of left field as well. Helen Keller jokes are wonderful, but I don't see why comparing yourself to a surprise STD is going to help you become a Chat Moderator on a Wiki that was originally about the LEGO Message Boards. And on that note, why state that you make fun of a blind woman (And 9/11 jokes which you mentioned in the same paragraph) when trying to run for CM? This whole RFR smells fishy, but my neutral vote still stands.

I can certainly be active whenever it is required as I am on my computer a lot and have mobile access. I feel like I have a strong enough sense of judgement to act accordingly and rightly in various disputes and issues that arise. Plus I respect all of you as people. I may not be too funny or talkative but I try my best to be genuine and really I think that is a strong quality.

Support

 * 1) NXT's an alright chap. Mature and level headed. Would make a fine CM. SOE | Dameron  02:43, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I vote yes! NXT is... pretty much what SOE said =P -Bee
 * 3) I trust NXT, he'd be a good Mod. -KnightoftheLight
 * 4) Per Fell, though I will say that I don't see you much. Not that my attention to detail is perfect... --Grandpa Weirdo  (yell at me)  03:05, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Mature, reasonable, and pretty level-headed, from what I've observed. - Rep
 * 6) Nxt is a very mature user, and would make a very good mod in my opinion. My advice is just get a little more active in main chat. ~Avalair
 * 7) He acts like a few other CMs whose service to the Wiki has been commendable. His attitude is something that I value in Moderators, and I have not once heard anything that would make me vote otherwise.
 * 8) Per above. Would make a great CM.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 17:59, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Per above. Yada   Dark  18:18, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) Smart guy, calm, level-headed, and as Star also said, I haven't heard anything that raises red flags.  -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 11) EW WHAT GIVING NXT POWER OVER ME WHAT IS THIS MADNESS I OBJECT xD jk nxt is a thoroughly responsible person (mostlyish :DD) and he clearly needs more things to distract him from college. per above stuff. -Tolk

Neutral

 * 1) Same ~Psycho ~
 * 2) Per Izzy. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 03:36, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) I have to see more from you on chat, activity and willingness to participate in peacemaking; I don't happen to see much. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 4) ^I don't see anything negative either but still.
 * 5) Seen way too little of you to be able to judge properly. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:20, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) I don't know you too much, so I don't know what you're like, but from the little time talking with you, I'm leaning to supporting you. ~(kingwja)~
 * 7) pnever saw you command a situation in chat -mc1
 * 1) pnever saw you command a situation in chat -mc1

Oppose

 * 1) I don't see the point in getting more mods. It's nothing against you, it's just that we have enough mods to do the job. - plurky
 * 2) I don't think you're hungry enough or interested enough to be CM. Haven't seen you be proactive. Pretty much agree with everyone in Neutral, and I considered voting that, but Neutral votes are essentially worthless.
 * 3) Changing to oppose simply because I haven't seen you on like at all recently. Not enough activity.  The Double Devil (talk) 01:00, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

Coggsworth Motors (2)
I have been here for years and have had experience getting to know the community. I get along fairly well, and I think people may find me suitable to use these tools and I guess I just kind of agree.

Support

 * 1) Coggs is a really friendly user, which is, in my opinion, vital for a chat mod. He's also good under pressure, and doesn't get into heated debates. Yes, his activity can be sporadic, but he has also been more active within the past few weeks, so perhaps he will continue being active.Legofrodo12
 * 2) Per Frodo.
 * 3) I find no fault in the man. One of those users I have to remind myself isn't a mod already. --Grandpa Weirdo (yell at me)  03:05, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Seen Coggs around for quite awhile. Always willing to step in and put everybody where they need to be when a situation arises. - Rep
 * 5) Coggs has been a mature and experienced user for quite a while now and I think he'd be an effective mod. You have to be more active, though. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 6) Totally a support. Even though I think we have more than enough mods at the moment, I know Coggs has a lot to add and I think we need skills like his. I've been waiting to see a star by that username for years. He's calm under pressure, not afraid to speak up, has a clear sense of right and wrong, yet an open mind, is friendly and sensitive to others, and generally calms an argument instead of dividing it further. A great fit for mod. - BCGirl
 * 7) Per BCGurl, Coggs is incredibly mature and I'm surprised he isnt a CM yet. ~Avalair
 * 8) I think he would be a good choice, because (first of all per the above), and second, I have never seen him get into an argument yet. ~(kingwja)~
 * 9) I haven't seen as much of Coggsworth Motors, but I've seen nothing negative from him at all. He has been kind at the very least to my friends who support him above, and if they think he will make a great Chat Moderator, so do I. And for the record, I don't oppose based on sporadic activity.
 * 10) I don't think we need to have any more mods for quantity's sake, but I feel this guy would add a lot, and be very useful to have around as a mod. I agree with Frodo and Bcgirl.
 * 11) Ellie is very good and knows when to do things and such, would not be too strict/quick to act when it is unneeded and issues could be resolved without banning (but would also take required action when necessary) Cay (talk) 07:23, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * 12) He would make a calm, competent Night Chat Mod to complement Gaz. Honestly, this past week I kept forgetting he wasn't a mod as he flawlessly and peacefully reminded us of the rules. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.

Neutral

 * 1) Neutral because activity. And yes, I know we can argue "what does it matter?", but we can also argue "what is the point?" x3  The Double Devil (talk) 02:01, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Is a good user, but doesnt really have any mod qualities. -Slice
 * 3) Basically per Slice.
 * 4) Per Izzy ~Psycho ~
 * 5) I don't know him well enough to support or oppose, but from what I can tell he'd be a good CM and I'll change my vote once I see more of him. -KnightoftheLight
 * 6) Per Slice. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 03:38, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 7) Again, seen way too little of you so far. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:20, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) He's mature but I'm not sure if he'd be a good CM. Undecided.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 18:00, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Don't really know him. Yada   Dark  18:19, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) good guy, unsure over Mod potential. -mc1
 * 11) Seems like a good candidate, and would probably support, I just haven't seen you enough to judge properly. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 12) Haven't seen enough to judge properly, but leaning on support. -Skul
 * 13) Per people above, not sure yet Animal Geek ~ Message Wall

Oppose

 * 1) Inactive, and doesn't have a good understanding of what's against the rules and what isn't. Not something I find desirable in a mod.
 * 2) Don't see any point in getting more mods: we have enough active ones to do the job. Plurky
 * 3) Wasnt going to vote but i do agree with the above. Unfortunately, there is some potential in you, but i dont think you are exactly mod material yet. ~KiraNotKirac

Comments

 * First of all, idk if im allowed to vote with a ban that ends in less than a day, even though i might not even vote on these things anymore. And I also feel Coggs would be one of those mods that are like "The word butt is not allowed" and "Dont talk about gayness" or something. Another thing is we have what, 4 new requests for mod now? Why don't we just keep addng mods, right. Hey why don't we just give everyone rights so everyone is equal and nobody can kick each other. And a lot of them are simply "Im active. Im not a bad person." and then the wiki is like "Yes, yes, we agree. You would make nicely."
 * you can vote with a ban -slice
 * Two notes on some of the comments, but first, I am happily surprised of the number of users participating in my RFR, and I respect all of you guys' opinion either way, since they seem to come from a well-informed starting point. Now, for my two comments. If there is at least one opposition, I would have to agree with Von, unfortunately. I definitely need to read up on the rules if I am going to be chat mod. I've sort of been wishy-washy about that. Second comment, and to set the record straight, I haven't ever said "The word butt is not allowed" nor "Don't talk about gayness" :P I would like to see something I actually have said in the past as an example. - Coggs
