Demotion of Bullet Francisco

I have only ever seen this chat moderator once or twice in the wikia chat, even though i'm fairly new to this wiki that's very inactive. A chat moderator's purpose is to moderate the chat, but there's no point having that right if they don't go there. I'm still quite surprised they are still a chat moderator after rarely appearing in the wiki chat, this thought has been in my head for a while now. So I decided I would opt them for demotion here. Strong support http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   19:52, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support As a person that has been here for several months, he is almost nonexistent. I don't see why he was even made a mod, because I had never seen him before in my life. Who even promoted him in the first place? Unless he gets really active really fast, I agree 100%. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 19:55, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support From what I've seen the user merely asked for rights back and only stayed for good few days and hasen't been seen on since. As well this is the second time he's been inactive on the wiki chat as well. -  Zeiluse ^Talkpage  20:03, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support In all honesty, being the "Doc Louis" Mod of the chat, Bullet was basicly the worst mod this Wikia had. He was rude to users as well as strict. To see him have his powers back and not even join the chat just confuses me. He got his powers the first time to soon, and to see him modded again without being on the chat is just ridiculous. Bos_The_Boss (talk) 20:13, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support As someone who uses the mainspace, but does not edit much, I spent a ton of time in chat for a long time. I also gained modship for a while. I earned that because i was almost always present in the chat and was there when someone needed me. All of the time I have spent in the chat, I have only seen Bullet twice. Both times he arroved, then sat dormant for hours on end, then left in the middle of the night. We often complain about an overflow of mods in the chat, and removing the modship of a dormant user is a step closer to solving the problem. Come over to the faded side! (talk) 21:43, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support Although Bullet helps with Mainspace he seldom goes to chat, and when he does, he is AFK 99% of the time, or at least that is the impression, as he is always away and not partaking in the conversations at all. His Mod status can be revoked without doing any significant impact to the chat.  Force ^talk  22:05, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support - At the moment, the user seems to be preoccupied with another wiki.  Food Foodbandlt  22:39, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support Because of statements above and below, I think Bullet should have his rights revoked. When he was active on chat he never interacted with users and was AFK most of the time like Force said.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 05:47, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

I hope everyone realizes about a month ago I was on chat every day for 2 straight months. I am currently on a break from the wiki, and mostly the Internet in total. The only reason I'm logging into Wikia is because I am currently on another wiki, and it's the only site I'm currently on. I'm not dormant, I'm on a break. I wouldn't mind being demoted anyways, I'm more of an editor. --^Bullet _Francisco ^(Talk) _(Contribs) ^(Editcount) _(Email) 23:05, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

If you are agreeing to it, then would you mind me performing it now so that I can close this discussion?  Food Foodbandlt  01:44, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support I haven't seen Bullet in the chat when I'm on so I don't really know if he's a good mod or not but when he's been on the chat when I've been on he's done nothing. Oneforseven 08:26, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Demotion of Oneforseven

Unaware of how this forum operates, I will leave this here as in saying that Oneforseven have been trouble after becoming a mod. I have been gone from the Wikia in hopes of this user taking my time slot in the monitoring of the chat at my formal times. However upon returning to the chat I was greeted with complaints of disgust of this mod. Not only from users but mods as well. As they have argued that this mod needs to be demoted. Weak support As the man who planned on passing his powers to zen user I support. Bos_The_Boss (talk) 13:02, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

You really need to be more specific. Simply stating general evidence does not allow the full story (if you will) to be told. Could you please elaborate on these quote, "complaints of disgust" you claim to have received? --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 16:33, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Weak oppose I don't see any harm in him being mod, He does a fine job enforcing the rules in my opinion. -- http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 13:17, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose After some of the statements added below, I must give a strong oppose and I do think One should stay moderator. He's a good mod and giving him a final chance can help him realize his mistakes.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 23:09, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Support I have watched Oneforseven ever since he was promoted to a mod status. What started promisingly has turned out to be something that has got many users irritated including me. One has been using caps extensively, linked suggestive content atleast once and not leaving one user alone even when asked to drop it, like shown here http://imgur.com/a/72Ob8#0. Moderators should be people who keep the chat orderly and friendly and while One has been kind to most people and blocking people, in my opinion a mod needs more than this. Being a mod requires responsibility, treating everyone fair and keeping everything under control. From these past two months of observation, I say that One is not ready to be a chat moderator.  Ocredan  13:26, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support Although 147 is a great guy, and tries to keep the chat on order, 147 has been known to breaking the rules a few times, and using excessive capitals. I've heard about a couple of problems with 147 and other users, including the problem that is linked on Ocredan's vote. In my opinion, this is not what a moderator should be doing. There are some pros though to 147 being a moderator, and it'd be sad for him to be demoted when he could be warned instead about the problems that have arisen.  • Colgatecity • Talk • Contrib August 12, 2012, 13:37 UTC

Weak oppose Oneforseven was the first person who befriended me on this wiki, I have seen him insinuate things in the chat at times but I don't think i've ever seen any unfair kicks or bans yet. Back when I first joined, he seemed a nice and welcoming person to the chat but I hope he can go back to being that way. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz  13:53, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose Changed my opinion after considering what's been said below http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz  21:48, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support Per Colgatecity --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 14:41, August 12, 2012 (UTC) Change to Strong Oppose

Weak oppose Well Oneforseven and I were like fighting buddies. We fought so many times that I wish he was demoted. After 1 day, I changed my mind. He is a good mod. We forgave each other and decided to be friends again. I say keep him as a mod. He can act silly but hell, he is a ok mod. He does his job right Professor Pickles (평화) Haedman 15:23, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral Because of history, I cannot give an opinion on Oneforseven's mod status. I sincerely apologize. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 15:28, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

KingLazy93 is still engaging in such conversations even after what happened, so if he is allowed then so are you. BluesirTheFox Private Pansy is best pansy 15:44, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Support To be blunt, I do not believe One is ready to be a chat moderator. Even though he may try, he has made mistakes and irritated users. He has been a bit too strict on our rules, such as capitals, which is okay in small amounts, and posting of lyrics when it was only one or two lines. Maybe when he learns to not be so harsh and follow the rules himself, he could be reconsidered. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 16:51, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Support I honeslty believe this user shoudn't be mod anymore since he has been causing more problems for users on chat more lately as I have seen or heard. -  Zeiluse ^Talkpage  20:09, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Support I may not frequent chat anymore, but I do know that I feel that this type of behavior (a mod calling a user a name, upsetting that user) is unacceptable. I mean, maybe I missed some context for that, and if it had been a thing where it was an in-joke between the two, fine, no harm, no foul. But having an incident like this, where a mod makes a user upset (even if the user later forgives the mod, as I see Haedman did in this thread), reflects poorly upon the chat as a whole. I mean, one of our rules even says, "If saying or doing something will make others upset or angry, then it's best that you avoid such behavior. This includes stating personal affiliations and beliefs. When requested to drop the subject, drop the subject."-- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 20:24, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose - Everybody, in all honesty, makes mistakes. It's unpreventable. I believe Oneforseven will learn from these mistakes and become a better person and chat moderator out of it if we give him a second chance.  Food Foodbandlt  20:34, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

He already has been given a second chance --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 20:38, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

And has not done anything abusive since. I don't consider that a second chance since this is still taking place.  Food Foodbandlt  20:40, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

He was given a second chance the other day, and there is no freaking way he could have blown it in that time frame. He got a second chance, and I now realize that all this forum is trying to do is shove the second chance he got into his face. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 20:46, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Weak oppose Even after all that has been said and done, I do feel like we should give Oneforseven one final chance as he could learn from his mistakes as Foodbandlt stated. BluesirTheFox Private Pansy is best pansy 20:42, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose Per my statement above. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 20:44, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support Sometimes i just dont get him.Pinkielover123 (talk) 23:24, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Support He is just not ready to me. Pinkielover123 (talk) 23:30, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Can you elaborate? I'm having a hard time accepting this as a valid vote without further elaboration on why exactly he "isn't ready".  Food Foodbandlt  23:40, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose In the time that I've been here, I've seen nothing to warrant a demotion, and that "evidence" does not show him behaving in a way that would necessitate a demotion. Sure he was maessing with haed for example and shouldn't have been doing so, I fail to see how this behavioe is extreme enough to warrant a push for his demotion. I have yet to see him abuse his power or maltreat other users. —Arrow^(talk)→ 23:28, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral I would like to hold chat moderators to higher standards than other users--how can a mod be of use when they don't even follow the rules? I would prefer it if he were given a period of time to be reconsidered for being a mod, but since he's already been given back his rights, it can't be too bad to see a second chance. I also haven't seen much of this happening as I'm not often in chat, though the cited incident makes it seem he's not ready. Vely^►t►e 00:13, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

tennispony (talk) 00:20, August 13, 2012 (UTC) im not gonna take any sides here, however i am gonna say that mods need to be watched and if they wrong a user they should have their rights suspended. this whole thing is accualy the reason Equ. left the wiki. 147 deserves a second chance. but he needs to learn his place a s a chat moderator. and maybe read the rules again.

Strong oppose While people commit mistakes, this seems more as personal grudge from some users rather than some reasonable argument and basis for demotion, Oneforseven is far from perfect, but it's more constructive for everyone if we can help everyone improve instead of targeting them. I therefore oppose.  Force ^talk  01:23, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

I know you said it as a general statement, but believe my when I say I didn't support demotion out of a grudge. I explicitly made sure I gave good reasoning and not negative bias. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 03:25, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

I am doing because of Guitar T-Bone's and Pinkielover's attitude, it seems they are doing out of grudge rather that reason, satisfying grudges should not be a priority for casting OneforSeven out.  Force ^talk  14:20, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Excuse me? I am strongly opposing this because I believe that double jeopardy is wrong. Oneforseven has already received a sentence (not to mention less than 3 days ago) for what he has done. His rights were revoked then given back.

Therefore, when you look at this forum from a legal perspective, all the hell this forum is trying to accomplish is getting Oneforseven punished again for something he already received a sentence for. That is wrong on so many levels and for that reason, I strongly oppose having Oneforseven's rights removed. It has nothing to do with any sort of grudge. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 15:19, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry bron, got the names mixed up, anyway, I still oppose his demotion.  Force ^talk  16:20, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose I have known Oneforseven since he joined, and, when I am in the chat, he upholds the chat rules, although sometimes "straying from the path", But I am sure he will correct himself. I cannot ask for a better Mod (ok, maye I can, but that isn't the point).

A§§a§§in 927 (Your local, friendly Councilor) 02:29, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Weak oppose I see things 147 does sometimes, but mostly, I see rule enforcement. Give him another chance.  Kent101299 ^Rarity  12:02, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support I have not known him in chat lately, and I have never talked to him before. If you guys want to, depromote him. I don't mind. HurricaneKhaos

Please don't support just because others are supporting. If you don't care enough to provide a reason, then why vote at all?  Food Foodbandlt  22:42, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support I change my mind as I got word about 147. It was said that he needs a second chance? Well he MAY have already had a second chance. [1] He did something to have lost them, it seems so really this could be his 3rd chance already. Bos_The_Boss (talk) 20:37, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

That's what we were talking about earlier, and he has done nothing abusive since getting that second chance. This forum is persecuting him from his first chance, yet he is already on his second chance. This was stated above.  Food Foodbandlt  22:42, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Well from my observation, this is not One's second chance. He was given a fair share of warnings in June about not changing the subject when kindly asked to do so and also for the excessive use of caps. All of the things gathered here have already been discussed even before this forum but nothing has happened. My opinion certainly isn't biased for it is a legimate gathering of information from a specific period of time and I shall stand by on what I've said. From my point of view, One has had fair amount of chances but his behaviour has not changed for the better.  Ocredan  20:54, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't calling your reasoning biased at all. I'm sorry, but I've never seen the behavior spoken of from Oneforseven.  Food Foodbandlt  04:18, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Weak oppose I don't really have anything against him. Sure, he's very persistent; however, he's strict when he needs to be, and I will say that he's a very capable chat moderator. That's all I got to say at the moment. Yo buddy, still alive? (talk) 10:05, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Ozuzanna

Ozuzanna is currently a chat mod. I linked to his wiki contributions out of habit, but since the chatroom is for socializing, a chat user's wiki contributions shouldn't matter when considering them for chat moderator. Support as nominator because he said "hi" to me once. –Throwawaytv 12:18, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

He once said hi to you? Are you Anthropophobic or something? In my book, that is a sign of friendliness which is a good trait. I don't know about you, but I fail to see how saying hi is a reason for mod right removal. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 14:00, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Uhm, erm, uh, I was voting in support of him being a mod. –Throwawaytv 15:03, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

I approve Ozuzanna's rights as well, he's a kind and nice user. He knows the in's-and-out's of being a mod already. Support.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 13:06, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm confused. I do think Ozuzanna should keep his mod rights very much so. Am I supporting or against this? Because I do think he should keep his rights, sorry for the confusion.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 13:23, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Vehement oppose Ozuzanna is a very strong-minded, strong decision making individual. His behavior, while not perfect, surpasses the expectations for a moderator. He always maintains his composure during disputes and will often resolve them without the need for a kick. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 13:31, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose Ozuzanna is a very friendly user and has earned his chat moderator rights for being dedicated to the wiki on a daily basis, going on chat almost everyday. Ozuzanna has been tought how to use his powers and has not abused them once. I have to agree with Guitar T-bone 100% on this.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 14:07, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose Ozuzanna is an excellent mod. Not once has he abused his powers, he earned his rights fair and square, and didn't change his attitude because of it. I could not give you a reason for rights removal if I tried. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 14:12, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose - I believe that Ozuzanna is a great moderator, and he does his job very well. I think he should keep his Chat moderator rights, and I see absolutely no reason to have them removed.

Discussion

Hah, just as I was about to submit the edit, Throwawaytv clarified. He appears to be a ninja. Anyway: I believe this "nomination" was for Ozuzanna to keep his mod rights, not to revoke them. Sort of like a post-vote since it was so recent. If you read the original message, mod rights are only revoked when abused, and not democratically decided. Throwawaytv's support was supporting Ozuzanna keeping his/her mod rights.  Food Foodbandlt  15:09, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure why people thought otherwise. BluesirTheFox Private Pansy is best pansy 15:12, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Bluesir, he never said anything about a post-vote. And people took the statement regarding the exception of revocation due to abuse as "revocations due to abuse only" and that any other reason for revocation will result in a democratic vote. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 15:33, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Also, why does Ozuzanna have to be brought into question just because he was made a mod recently under the old way of making a mod? Going back to your statement, Ozuzanna has not abused his powers, therefore based on your (and throwawaytv's) apparent views, this forum shouldn't even exist. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 15:38, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

I thought this was already figured out above, Guitar T-bone, as well as with Throwawaytv's clarification. He was voting in support of him being a mod. Not revoking the rights.  Food Foodbandlt  15:43, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

This makes no sense. Why would throwy put up for Ozuzanna to become a chat moderator when he already is one? He wouldn't. If you look at it, this is a sugar-coated mod right revocation forum. Instead of it being "De-modding Ozuzanna" it is "Ozuzanna keeping his mod rights" They are both the same thing and both accomplish the same end. The other users (and I) just didn't get that. We didn't get that Throwy made a sugar-coated mod right revocation forum. We thought that support meant to revoke and that oppose meant to keep. After all, that is how every revocation forum has gone in this wiki.

In any case though, this forum should not even exist due to the fact that Ozuzanna has never abused his powers in the first place. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 15:50, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

I seriously think you're over-thinking this, try being a little optimistic. He was given mod rights about three days ago, and I believe he should be subject to this new rule of democracy. I still think that this is more saying "Should Ozuzanna be a mod?", rather than "Should we remove his mod rights?". He is obviously suited to be a mod, looking at his previous actions and the above support for him to have the rights. If this was for revocation, then why would Throwawaytv, who started the nomination, support him having mod rights? The intention was obviously not to revoke them. And for your recent addition to your message, would you mind pointing out forums that have gone that way in the past? I can't seem to find them.  Food Foodbandlt  16:03, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Forum:Revoking_Throwawaytv's_bureaucrat_rights The people in favor of revocation voted for support, while those against voted oppose. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 16:24, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, at the time I submitted my message, it appears you edited your message for a third time, changing what I was challenging.  Food Foodbandlt  18:58, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

I did not change the views of my message at all. I simply clarified them by adding extra information. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 19:08, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

I was referring to this edit, in which you changed what exactly you were referring to in your message.  Food Foodbandlt  19:28, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

That was simply a typo I made which I discovered after making the edit. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 21:16, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I reckon this forum's purpose is to review the current chat moderators. Not to just pick on me in particular, I think Throwawaytv took me for an example. I'm sure there will be other chat moderators (if not all) up at some point and discussing their positions too. Even though most of us got the wrong idea at first, the purpose of this forum is not just about me being a chat moderator. Like Food said, we're a democracy and it's only fair to let everyone have their say then decide on the final verdict. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz  16:12, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Just because a user was made a mod under the old system recently, he should not be subject to the new system. That is unfair. After all, from what Ive been hearing, the only reason for revocation is if the mod abuses his powers. I see no abuse in this forum at all. --Guitar t-bone^{Talk to AJ!http://i.imgur.com/h30uB.gif} 16:24, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Ozuzanna has the rights and was promoted under the old system. I don't see the fairness in saying "you're a mod, have fun!" then popping up three days later with "Hey, we have a new system, we're voting to see whether or not you get the rights you already have, but only you". If we vote on mods to receive rights and they become de-modded only for abuse, then this vote doesn't appear to be valid--Ozuzanna has the rights, it's done, wrapped up, etc., so why bring it up again now that rules have changed? Why Ozuzanna and no other chat mod? They've all got the same status, and I don't think time should have anything to do with it. Vely^►t►e 17:20, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Okay everyone, I think I should say this again to prevent any further confusion or misunderstanding. Only because i'm the only chat moderator being mentioned in this forum so far, does not mean Throwy is putting me and only me on the spot. People are acting like this forum specifically aimed at me, I'm pretty sure its not. If it was, wouldn't it be called something along the lines "Should Ozuzanna be able to keep his/her chat moderator status?" No. It's not. Instead, it's called "Chat moderators". I really appreciate all your sympathy & loyalty, I honestly do, but I think most of us are misunderstanding the point of this forum by a huge margin. P.S Haven't all the chat moderators so far been promoted under the old system? http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz  17:48, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Valid points. This "nomination" isn't needed anymore then.  Food Foodbandlt  18:58, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oh my, seems I was confused. Well then, as I said before, I do believe Ozuzanna is a very good chat moderator. Sorry about the confusion. Cheers! - ~Halo4master ^{[Contact] [Service Record] [Stats]} 01:02, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Chat Mod Rights (Assassin 927)

I'm not good at starting discussions, but here it goes...

I have come here to express my interest to become a Chat Moderator. I have been here since November 2011, and have spent a huge amount of time in the chat. I feel I am eligible for this, and I am ready to take responsibility. I'd like this expression of interest to be carefully considered by you. Thanks - A§§a§§in 927 (Your local, friendly Councilor) 03:21, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Support - Moderators in that time zone is becoming scarce, and from the majority of your behavior that I've observed, you're more than qualified.  Food Foodbandlt  03:24, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral-Well, I do like to see Assassin as a mod yet again, he done some well bad things in the past, but it wasn't that bad. Hm, I am going to stay neutral for this. Professor Pickles (평화) "War has changed." 03:40, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support - Although you have seniority on your side, there are times when you break the rules. But we all makes mistakes. You still get a vote from me. Just work on seeing and listening to the warnings, and if you don't, work on fixing your lag issues. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 03:42, August 23, 2012 (UTC) See revised opinion below

Oppose In no way I support this user to become a mod reasons why

1. This user has had major disconnection issues in the pasts and will be unrealiable to become one.

2. The list of number of times this user has been banned is so high as seen here, here and here it's ridiculous why he should even be made a mod in the first place when this user was given a lot of chances already. -  Zeiluse ^Talkpage  03:53, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

In truth, the reason I support him becoming a mod is because he has made significant improvements. People make mistakes and learn from them. Your second link is not a ban notice, it is the removal of a previous ban. Also, what does connection have to do with anything? That problem seems to be fixed as of a couple of months ago.  Food Foodbandlt  03:57, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

I saw Assassin get banned only two weeks ago for trolling, I think it's too early to make him a mod right now since that event wasn't that all long ago, personally.

http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   14:29, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Again with this...I simply do not want this user becoming mod because he was given many chances before and his ban log is full of lag bans which is bad on the user becoming mod since disconnection issues will cause problems and second this user pretends to learn from his mistakes but cheats his ways just to be forgiven by the users or mods. -  Zeiluse ^Talkpage  04:03, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I do learn from my mistakes, and I'd appreciate no personal attacks, thank you KingLazy. - A§§a§§in 927 (Your local, friendly Councilor) 04:59, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

These aren't personal attacks these are the true facts coming from what others have said before. -  Zeiluse ^Talkpage  05:36, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

I understand your previous point, but I'm getting caught up on the lagging thing, King. You're saying that if I were a good candidate across the board, that I shouldn't become a chat moderator if I lag at all?  Food Foodbandlt  10:37, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose I saw this user get banned not that long ago for trolling when they were given enough warnings to stop, (I believe this occurred just over two weeks back) this sort of behavior is NOT what a chat moderator should conduct and thus my opinion for now is strongly against him for chat mod rights. Also he has been banned before I believe and in my honest opinion candidates for chat moderator status who have been banned recently should be given more time to repent for their past behavior, if they are wanting such rights. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   10:26, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Weak oppose As a user who had been on and off the wikia chat, I think this user isn't ready for mod rights just yet. Maybe it's the reasons above, maybe it's just my instinct. I just get that feeling Bos_The_Boss (talk) 14:20, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose Per some recent opinions, I reevaluated my own. Looking back on his track record, I believe 927 is not ready to be a mod. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 02:16, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Application for Moderator Rights (Captain Derpy)

A few people recommend that I do this, and I believe that I should.

I, Captain Derpy, am applying for a position as a Chat Moderator. I understand and respect the rules well enough to be able to uphold them. I also have a clean reputation on the chat, having never been kicked (and therefore, banned) from the chat.

I believe I am ready to take this position. The question is: do you agree? Captain Derpy (talk) 13:03, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support I think Captain Derpy is a very mature person, he is always friendly in chat and I don't think he's ever done anything wrong. He's been in the chat for a while now, and I trust he will utilize the rights of a mod very effectively. I think he will be an outstanding chat moderator, so he gets my vote without hesitation. Furthermore his timezone would benefit the chat because he has one of the timezones when there's only one mod in the chat a lot of the time.

Application for Chat Moderator rights (Scootaloo35)

Hey all. So, as you know, I'm Scootaloo35.

I've been in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic wikia for many months. But, now some time ago, i thought that I want to make more for this wiki and for brony community. I would make a good Chat Moderator, because I don't argue much, and I can't stand of NSFW - stuff or spamming in a chat that should be SFW. I can be really active in chat, because in our school, almost every lessonhour is with computers.

Yours, Scootaloo35 - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scootaloo35 (talk • contribs)

Although actual decision making will take place after the re-evaluation is over, I would like to nominate Halo4master to be a Chat Moderator.

And this has happened on numerous occasions. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   08:42, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. I've been a lone mod many times, and you can't expect one person to stay there indefinitely until another mod is there to "take over the shift."

Application for Chat Moderator rights (Octado)

Hello there, before anything else is said i'm nominating Octado to be a chat moderator. She has been in the chat for a sufficient amount of time now, and from what I gather she is friendly and is a nice user to be around with. Her kick (and thus ban) record is absolutely empty. With the current chat mod evaluation forum, I can deduct that a couple moderators will have their rights revoked which will open up a couple spots. Her timezone is the same as mine (British) and from what I gather we lack in chat mods in that timezone (Just chat mods, not admins). There are times when the other admins aren't in chat, so I thought she would make a good choice.

We just got 2 new mods, and we are getting rid of at least 2 more. Keep it that way. We complain when someone is modded due to the number, but then we tturn around and nominate ourselves or others. This hypocrisy only leads to larger problems. This is nothing personal to Octado, as I do not know him/her well, but this is about everyone. Think before you decide if someone needs to be modded. Just because somone has earned it doesn't mean they need it. think practical! The fact that we have so many useless mods is why new users always ask to be modded. Come over to the faded side!

Comment Since it seems that a number of users changed their stance on Octado, due to the happenings currently going on in that other forum thread, I propose this nomination be placed on hold, similar to how wiki adoption requests on Community Central are sometimes placed on hold, as it appears to be the only current nomination with a fair shot of passing (i.e. not only the only nomination with a good amount of support votes, even with those that changed sides, but the only one with support votes period). -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 01:37, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

It seems that the votes are leaning more toward opposition, although there are many who haven't changed their votes yet after the happenings in chat have subsided. I'm going to resubmit this as a nomination to alleviate this.  Food Foodbandlt  00:32, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Application for Chat Moderator Rights (Qaesxer)

Hey Everypony.
So as you may all know or if you don't, I have been on chat for a while now and have come to see that we may or may not need more Chat Mods (Really that all comes down to your decision). I would like to apply as I have the ability to deal with many problematic situations in the chat if needed and am willing to go on the Chat whenever possible, as I am always free for a few hours throughout the day, everyday (Well just about everyday). I honestly don't see a majority of the other chat mods a lot of the time and so have assumed that you may need Chat Mods at times in my Timezone (That being Australia). I have a clean record for kicks and bans (Except where I was falsely blocked for supposedly having multiple accounts). I get along with many users and have made some great friends with everypony on the chat.

Application for Chat Moderator by ImTheBrony

I'm not sure how well this will work, but here goes nothing.

I've wanted to be a mod on this wiki for a while, but I thought I'd wait until around the end of the year. But then this(there's three screenshots, look at all of them) happened to day and I decided to apply early. I want to be a positive presence in this community, and I believe I will do so as a chat mod. I've been here two and a half months, and I think that that is long enough to have proved or disproved myself. I am as active as I can be in the chat (I'm USA Eastern Time Zone, so some may be less familiar with me), and I try to be friendly and welcoming. I've never been in serious trouble (two kicks for well-meaning comments that were misunderstood), and my ban log is clean. Thank you all for taking time and reading this. http://i.imgur.com/gsLKOdC.png MLPhttp://i.imgur.com/1w0MRE0.png  ITBhttp://i.imgur.com/K1gQ7PD.png

After further consideration and conversation with multiple people, I have decided to pull my application and revert to my original plan of applying at the end of the year, so that more people may get to know me and I have more oppurtunities to meet people. I apologize for the waste of time and space. If an authority figure sees fit to delete this section, please do. http://i.imgur.com/gsLKOdC.png MLPhttp://i.imgur.com/1w0MRE0.png  ITBhttp://i.imgur.com/K1gQ7PD.png ImTheBrony (talk) 00:25, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral You're a good friend, a kind person and a protective one. I know you can make good decisions if there is any trouble in chat but the thing is that I only see you for brief periods of time. You stay on for quite a while but then leave and pretty much don't come back till the next day. This is probably due to the problem that I can't be on all night with school in the morning so I will remain neutral. Good Luck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juan Brony Bro (talk • contribs)

Removing Oneforseven's mod rights

I am proposing to remove Oneforseven's mod rights because he has consistently shown a poor attitude and poor behaviour in the chat. Just now, he linked something that wasn't appreciated by a couple of other moderators, and after one of them left, he proceeded to call him "mom" in a dismissive way. And what's more, after being caught on this behaviour, Oneforseven simply said he was aware it was un-mod-like behaviour showing that in the grand scheme of things he doesn't actually care. I don't agree with the moniker that this user has improved since his last demotion request. You don't need to look far to see that it hasn't really all been going well with Oneforseven as a moderator.

Strong support As nominator.      14:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support Nothing Personal Oneforseven, but to be honest your behavior isn't always in focus with the job you are supposed to be doing. I myself have seen One slip up many times before. He is a fun user to chat to and will solve conflicts in a fair manner (From what I've seen). So I would again like to state that he does his job, but not as professionally as he should. He should be more "on the job", I mean he can have fun, just don't be inappropriate about it or irritate other users. It also seems that he has had his chances. Again, nothing personal One, it's just the bad seems to out weigh the good. Qaesxer Talk-Blog
My OC-Edits 14:17, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose Per Qaesxar. I think One has improved enough as a chat moderator, and he takes his position seriously, believe it or not. Though I see those links as poor taste in humor, I don't see any harm done, though One shouldn't have with "Okay mom", that is pretty rude. I don't think it's a big enough incident to get him demoted though.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 15:43, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support If not for the evidence, I would not support removing Oneforseven's rights. He's a steady moderator, albeit a bit of an eccentric at times. The issue begins when rude comments are made, and when there is behavior that is completely unprofessional for his position. I believe that chat moderators should also serve as an example to community members, and in that regard, he has instead encouraged behavior that is not acceptable.Desflutterfox (talk) 15:54, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support Seen enough proof. Juan Brony Bro You there, wanna be my friend? :D 17:01, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support Per all "support" statements above. Any reasons from me besides all that evidence would just become me talking out of a now-buried grudge. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 17:03, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral The evidence here is strong and is not what a mod should conduct, however Oneforseven takes up a valuable slot of chat moderating daily and I don't think there's any replacement the same as him, so really I'm more in the middle whether he should stay a mod or not on this. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   17:09, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

We have plenty of mods at all times of the day now. There will be other options if we need them.      17:12, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, One is in the same timezone as myself and we usually have few mods for quite some time between 4pm - 11pm in Australia, so this could have some effect, however as CoD has stated above there are other options. However at other times there can be a few mods on, but usually there is a lack of mods. Qaesxer Talk-Blog
My OC-Edits 00:17, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Comment Well the links do prove that Oneforseven linked something he shouldn't have, but I see that he also quickly realized this. People derp sometimes, it is part of nature. I also believe he has truly improved his behavior, he has come a long way, and this doesn't mean he will stop improving and maturing. However I propose that if he is demoded, let this only be effective for one week so he realizes what he has done and appreciates better the right he has bestowed on him. If any issues rise in the future, then he can't say he didn't have a chance to prove himself.  Force ^talk  00:25, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral After reviewing the evidence, I would say that Oneforseven's moderator rights should be revoked, however, he does a good job at moderating the chat when he's not being silly and linking content like that. His time zone is also a large benefit to the chat, with only 2 moderators from the area. At the moment, I will remain neutral, however this may change. Captain Derpy (talk) 06:14, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral Does his job right yet the evidence makes me think of opposing. I have to go neutral. Professor Pickles (평화)

Oppose Some of us might be in a bad mood from time to time. A few mistakes during these kind of situations should not have such heavy consequences on the offender. I changed my mind because I have seen 147 around chat lately and he is not acting the way CoD captured. I change my support to oppose because we are all human and we all make small mistakes from time to time. Juan Brony Bro You there, wanna be my friend? :D 16:32, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral Is in the chat almost always and does do his job but has had many chances before to improve his behaviour. This incident feels very familiar for One once linked inappropriate gifs to me without even warning about their content. This kind of behaviour should end; otherwise I will have to support the demotion. -- Ocredan  16:51, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Application for Chat Moderator by CelestiaOfEquestria

User: CelestiaOfEquestria Date of Apply: October, 15th, 2012 @ 8:25PM EST Request for: Chat Moderator Time Zone and Area: Eastern Standard Time, United States, New York Ratio of votes so far: 7:4 (4 Supports | 7 Opposes | 1 Neutral)

---

I'm sure most of you guys weren't expecting me to post an application to become a chat moderator, but from being here almost a year, and that I visit chat almost everyday for 9+ hours a day and am active, I should give applying a go. Now some of you are probably right now saying "Oh great, a user that is completely random and a goofball is applying for moderation rights, I don't want to live on this planet anymore." But, other than being silly sometimes, I usually am a good citizen, and I have for the past few years, yes, I was kicked a few times, but never banned, and when I was kicked, it was usually for the 'Caps Rule', which is now lifted, some instances were minor and not things like cussing or posting gore, I am also friends with most users, I don't insult people, except for the occasional harmless poke in the ribs, I try to help the mods and admins out sometimes or try and tell misbehaving users to stop when they are doing something, but I never backseat TOO much. I also know when to call mods when someone is trolling or misbehaving too. In my opinion, there should be another EST mod other than Jon, as many other mods are PST, Australian time, and many places in the UK, I think there should be a second mod in this time zone. (correct me if there is another) But in closing, I think I would be a good and responsible mod. I am on everyday for more than 9 hours, active, I have been a member of this wiki for almost 1 year, and have never received a ban. If you think I would be a good moderator, or have other ideas, please vote below, I would be happy to receive positive feedback, but I would also be happy if anyone would like to list any criticism they may have so I can try and work that out in the future to be a better candidate. Thank you. CelestiaOfEquestria 00:25, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Weak support To be honest, I think there is a good chance he will be a fine mod. He is an extremely active user, and he has never had any major issues in chat. With that said however, there is a bit of immaturity that I have seen personally, and that makes me somewhat nervous to give him strong support. --Desflutterfox (talk) 00:56, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps this is caused by the fact that you don't know him as well as the rest of us. Lelouch vi Britannia of the Rebellion Contributions 02:05, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

That could be the case Assassin, but he is one of the first members I met when I started chatting here. It's not as if I am completely ignorant of his personality and behavior. If that were true, I assure you I would have either remained neutral or not commented at all. --Desflutterfox (talk) 02:16, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose I have in chat quite a while and most of the time Cel is around chat. I wouldn't think twice on supporting this user if it wasn't for one important factor, behavior. Like Desflutterfox has mentioned in his comment Cel is quite immature. Like today she kept saying something about eating babies multiple times and got kicked for it. This incident shows the immaturity of this user. No offense Cel but I think you may need a little maturity to gather. I may change my mind if I see you act mature around chat but until I see you are a mature person my support will be negative. Juan Brony Bro You there, wanna be my friend? :D 02:12, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Juan, you have not been here very long, not even as long as I have. I understand that you have been very active in the Wiki, but you may be jumping to conclusions with Cel. Cel and I are in the same timezone, and so I have had a lot of experince with him, and I can attest that while he can be silly, he is rarely if ever overboard, in fact, I believe today is the first time I have seen him kicked because of his own actions (not connection probelms, etc) I am not criticizing you or your opinion. I am however respectfully attmepting to inform you. http://i.imgur.com/gsLKOdC.png MLPhttp://i.imgur.com/1w0MRE0.png  ITBhttp://i.imgur.com/K1gQ7PD.png ImTheBrony (talk) 02:44, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Strongly oppose As much as how good and funny of a guy Cel is, the kicks he's gotten and the way he acts in chat really keeps me from supporting him. Cel and I are friends, but he wanted honesty and I'm giving it, He tends to talk in caps, a lot, and it's borderline spam half the time. Some of his past links are inappropriate, and simply put, his overall behavior is rather Immature and I just can't see him being mod. So I strongly oppose him being mod. I still hope we can remain friends though. -- http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 03:04, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose Look. I've known Cel for as long as I've been here. He can be funny and good to have around AT TIMES, but in no way shape or form do I think he should be mod. I've turned a blind eye to some of his over-capsing and other acts of immaturity, but it doesn't change what I observe. There have been problems in the more-recent past such as the issue with Zakattacks, which he was heavily involved with. I may be jumped on for bringing this up at all, but I don't care. I can see that there are lasting feelings from this incident that could cause even more problems. Those who were involved in the incident know even better as I do that what I say is the truth. Personal grudges are abound Cel, and it will directly hinder his capabilities as a chat moderator. That's all I have to say on the matter. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 03:09, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

The problem with Zak is neither here nor there. It's outside of the wiki, and Cel was doing the right thing in the wrong way. That can not be used against him for mod rights. Lord of Shadows ^{Words mean nothing!} 03:25, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose I go with Las for this one, Las nailed it really, Cel's attitude is a bit trollish to users. He is only active around the afternoons, and his account is AFK 50-70% of the time. Also trying to go into vendettas or conflicts with users in which the situation worsens or goes out of control in a very recent pass makes him a poor choice at the moment.  Force ^talk  03:14, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Application for Moderator Status (Assassin 927)

After my first (failed) attempt, I decided to take a look and fix my flaws. I have tried my best to not get banned and was successful (My last ban I wanted so I could study). I am therefore offering myself, once again, to be considered as being part of the Moderator team on the wiki chat. I have almost a year of experience behind me, and I spend at least 5 hours on chat per day. My time zone also allows me to Moderate when some Mods are not present.

Application for Chat Moderator - Haedman

Well, I been here for a while. Long time ago, I didn't want to be mod, but now I do. It's because I like to help the chat. Sure I can be crazy and all, but I try to reason sometimes. I was a little crazy back then say when I first joined, but I got better and better over the time. I am very active on the chat, and when I'm AFK, I'm ether playing a game, reading, watching a video, or doing homework so that explains me being AFK. Anyways, I try out to be a mod to see if I ether be one or not. Also, I am more active on Weekends than Weekdays. I also live in a different timezone, so I can watch chat at different time periods. I think I can take a vote to be mod. I am Ready. Professor Pickles (평화)

Support I believe Haedman has changed in the last couple months - for the better. And right now I believe he would be a good choice for a mod, especially how scarce the mods enter chat nowadays. He has shown maturity and responsibility, I believe he would be a good choice. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   07:46, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support Fade has been a mod in the past. He never abused his powers, and the only reason he lost them was by request. I talk to him very frequently by external means, so this has all come from observation of memory. Sure, he can be explosive and vehement on his opinions, but he has damn good intentions and is the wisest 'regular' user here. A true veteran that deserves another go at having this responsibility. Some people voting are only seeing him from a single perspective that alludes to a more incorrect opinion of him and what he is doing on this wiki. I, fortunately, do not see him in such a light. Fade truly deserves this. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 02:37, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Business Cat's Application For Chat Moderator

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Business Cat. Though you may also know me as Sarah The Flareon or even Temmington. I have been on this wiki since July 18, 2012 on my Temmington account (not a sock, just to clarify- it's just the same thing that TheodoreRowy or Rift Cyra did- just wanted a name change and I couldn't get one on the Temmington account). I think I'm responsible enough on chat to be a chat moderator. I am often welcoming and friendly towards new users and experienced ones. I have had experience with moderating a populous Wikia before, as I am a moderator on Creepypasta Wki (I know that place doesn't have the best history with this wiki, but that shouldn't matter). I feel that I will be a good addition to the moderator team here, as I am welcoming, experienced, and overall good mod potential. I'd greatly appreciate if you all would agree and allow me to become a moderator. Just because the cat pays the rent, doesn't mean I don't have rights! (talk) 21:59, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Application for Moderator rights by CrescentShimmer

Hello everypony,

I’ll be honest, I’m not used to doing this sort of thing, but here it goes. Most of you probably have seen me on the chat quite frequently. When I was new to the chat, I may not have been exactly the most disciplined user. I didn’t fully know the rules at first. But recently, I have become more vigilant and have demonstrated behavior that is much more appropriate moderator material. I love this Wikia, I love its users, and I would like to become a chat moderator because the time in which I am available to offer moderation is a time that moderators are thin (10-11:30 am and 2-3 pm Mon-Fri Eastern Standard time), and I would like to help out. To those considering either supporting or opposing my application, please, tell me why it is you feel the way you do. What is it that I have been doing right/wrong to make your opinion the way it is? I’d like to see what the community views as my strengths and weakness so that I may improve.

I mean, if that's what you're into... CrescentShimmer (talk) 19:31, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support I fully back Crescents self nomination for chat moding. He/she has proved to be of higher quality ethics than some of this wikia and has shown to be at least willing to listen to reason and at most being able stand above the fray of a chat argument for the most part.

Support I know Cres extremely well, and this familiarity makes me happy to lend my support. Cres is in the chat consistently, and from what I can tell mindful of the rules. I think Cres would make a fine mod, and has an outstanding record to support that assertion. It also is worth noting that the number of moderators around that time is rather thin.

Application for Moderator rights by Lunar Spirits

Hello everypony, as you know, I am running for chat moderator, and I think I'd make a good mod. Though I'm not on toooften, because I have school and whatnot, I try to come on as often as possible, depending on what my schedule is. Anyhow, I am a very mature individual, with a strong sense of justice, but I am also caring, and fun-loving. By using these two characteristics, and balancing them out, I think I'd make an excellent chat moderator. Yes, while I may be the more mature type, not standing for randomness, (in fact, I dislike it), that is only because I follow in the footsteps of Ocredan, one of my idols. Before in the chat, some of you may have seen me acting like a mod to other users, that is only because of the great passion I have for this spot. (I'm a mod on another wiki) So, with that said, I think I'd make an excellent mod, and I hope I get this position. Sincerely,

KoolPrincessLunakaLunie

I am nominating KoolPrincessLunakaLunie for the position of chat moderator because she is very active in the chat, always friendly and helpful, and loves keeping the chat in a good mood. She helped me out as a temporary moderator in the past, and after a few days when her help was no longer required I was extremely pleased with how she used the tools and conducted herself. I believe the chat and its users would benefit from her as a moderator.      23:33, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Nitz X

I am self-nominating myself to be a chat moderator. I regonize that we have a lot of other mods on the wiki right now, however nowhere have I seen a limit on the number of mods that a wiki may have. Also, my hours tend to keep me up at odd times of the morning/night when others may be (and some nights, are) busy. I always have the best intentions at heart, even when dealing with some of the less articulate users that stop into the chat. I always keep a cool head in the chat, even when I may get passionate about the topic that is being discussed. I'll admit that I have virtually no experience with mod tools on wikia (I have not had to mod a chat in over half a year), but as long as they are basically the same as they were in april then there won't be any problems there. Also, as I'm currenly writing this, I'm making an important contribution to the wiki by battling a troll when no admins are on to block him.

Strong oppose Not at all the correct mindset to be a chat moderator. User is extremely opinionated at times and wasn't causing trouble with another user too long ago (in the form of ignoring pleas to argue a topic in PM).      17:58, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

Could you possibly tell me who this user is exactly, when this event was? I haven't seen any cases where I've ignored "pleas" to take a topic to PM, nor that I've caused an issue. As for the "extremely opinionated", I'll be the first to admit that I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things, but most people do, it's just a matter of whether someone will share them in a conversation. I don't see what's wrong with being opinionated as long as you don't offend anyone, and I've not had anyone tell me that my opinions have offended them. | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 18:57, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

The fact you don't understand why being opinionated is not a good trait of a moderator further enforces my point that your mindset is not what is required as of a chat moderator.

I am fully aware you don't plan on offending people. That's not my point. My point is that you're liable to make decisions based on personal thoughts which is not the way to go, instead of making decisions based on what others think and from an observational point of view.

I also don't need to tell you the user since you know who he is. It happened just yesterday, if I am recollecting my thoughts right. You were told to move a discussion with Guitar t-bone into PM. Maybe I'm not remembering things right in which case I apologise. But my first (and main) point still stands.      19:07, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

I maintain that being opinionated is not a bad trait, but I can see that this will come down to personal opinions rather than facts, after all, we all have different views on what are good and bad traits (I'd argue that bottom line, we all have good and bad traits, it's just how you use them)

On the subject of the Guitar t-bone: That's what I thought you were refering too, but we did move it to PM (rather, we moved it to skype, same difference). As for your point about me making decisions based on personal thoughts, I'll concede that I have a habit of using my own judgement to make a decision about something, but I do not ignore other people's viewpoints nor observations. I choose to take in all the information that I can and make an informed decision based on that information. Just because I'm not willing to yield my position in favor of the popular vote doesn't mean I'd make a bad moderator (In fact, this is a trait that many good moderators in our chat possess).

Embergale

Alright, it's been nigh on 3 weeks, was curious about possibly having my temporary probation lifted. As things stand I've made peace with the complaints against me and have proven myself to being back to on fully just about each day. Yes, I had done some rather childish things in the time leading up to the removal rights and had to take a step back afterwards and reflect on these things. I've more than settled the issues in my own life and would like to take up the responsibility that originally earned me the mod rights to begin with if allowed. ((basically midnight shifts on weekends xP)) simply put this, understand I made a mistake, even if some of the complaints against me I am justified in doing (for example that user who was resultantly banned by another mod after i kicked them, I mean... hey) Embergale (talk) 01:58, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Closing chat moderator applications temporarily

There is nothing wrong with having too many moderators, but there is a point at which it feels less necessary to add additional moderators. My thought is to close moderator nominations until further notice until additional moderators are needed. Of course, this wouldn't take affect until after the current nominations have been wrapped up. Thoughts?  Food Foodbandlt 04:31, December 4, 2012 (UTC) T

Aerostar

Aerostar(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

Hello, Aero here. I've wanted to apply for the position of chat moderator for some time now, but I've decided now would be the right time to do so.

I've been a user here since the beginning of June 2012 and use the chat quite often. I rerspect the rules as well. I was unsure about applying at first, but seeing the support I recieved in the chatroom has finally pressed me to apply. Should I recieve this position, I promise to uphold my job to the best of my ability. Aero: The mind with a mind of its own.

Support Aero is a good user here, she does her best to enforce the rules, is respectful, friendly, and is deserving of the position. I feel she will not let the chatroom down. Business Cathttp://i.imgur.com/uQDdF.png19:09, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, this is Juan Brony Bro. I have been a member of this valuable community for exactly 4 months now. I usually spend my free time editing and watching over chat backseat modding at times. I am running for Moderator because most of the time I come to chat early in the morning (7:30 am US Central) there are no mods. This lack of mods in the morning leaves us vulnerable to trolls and spammers. Having the rights will help keep the chat running smoothly in the early hours of the morning. http://i.imgur.com/GzLiU.gifJuan Brony Brohttp://i.imgur.com/nNocR.gif 13:42, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral I think you're definitely on enough, though with a lot of recent nominations going through and Jon getting his mod rights back recently as well, I think we have enough mods to protect chat.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 16:19, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose It's nothing personal at all, Juan, you're a great user. We just have enough mods as it is with all the recent promotions (Business Cat, Kool, and Aerostar) and re-promotions (Ember and Jon), we really have too many mods. To add on, you're not in a time zone where we currently need mods. I think you should also work on talking with other users in chat.

Oppose Absolutely a great user, however, we just added quite a few mods this past month. That coupled with the fact that you're active most when there's many mods and the statements above, not right now. I've also noticed you tend to act on the harsher side when discussing not so good users (i.e. Encouraging mods give the maximum ban time for an offense). But don't get me wrong, when there's a need, you're an excellent candidate. http://i.imgur.com/gsLKOdC.png MLPhttp://i.imgur.com/1w0MRE0.png  ITBhttp://i.imgur.com/K1gQ7PD.png ImTheBrony (talk) 01:20, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

--(EDIT) Strong oppose I'd like to make a point here I had not seen yet, it is about the "unwritten rules" that you're very fond bring up in chat. The problem is, you often try to backseat mod (which, there is nothing wrong with this) and utilize rules which do not exist (which, in my opinion, ISwrong). Sometimes you can be pretty uptight with the rules when there is no need to be, and I feel like that's a quality I wouldn't want in a mod. Sometimes you're chill, but sometimes your not, and I can't always tell which one you're going to be. I'm sorry, you're a great user and fun to be around 98% of the time, but I can't in good faith support you in becoming a mod. | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 01:27, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Comment I asked a moderator on the chat /before/ I shared this, and she agreed that I should post it too. I believe that people have a right to know everything about their moderator candidate.

It's kinda tough to give that PM any discursive weight. As inconvenient as this is, it's not particularly useful to have a user who is not a moderator interrogate someone on this matter. What's more, everyone has a different style with the way they mod a chat, this is important.

What is more, it's a bit questionable that this log is actually public in the first place. Doesn't seem appropriate in all honesty      04:50, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Comment As much as I'm sure that you'd like to pass this off as nothing more than me interrogating someone, I'm afraid that's simply not the case, as Juan approached me about the topic and willingly shared everything with me. Also, I notice that when I post logs that were "Private", and it's with a person you are supporting for mod, you question the weight of the logs. Yet, when you see some logs passed to you randomly from skype that did not even have the user's name on it, but rather just someone's word (Juan has not denied anything he said), it's enough to void the modship application (*cough* mine). You're being very flippy floppy COD4. The bottom line here is that Juan will make this chat to strict, and will kill any fun in it in the end (IMHO). I believe that his maximum ban length (which is in VIOLATION of the rules) as well as his opinions of how to enforce rules endanger the chat's peace.

I posted your log because you were inappropriately soliciting votes, putting the integrity of your application at risk. Juan didn't do anything wrong, the log doesn't need to be posted. Also don't say what the bottom line is haha, you'll only get to see that if he's made a mod.      17:27, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Strong oppose I've changed my opinion about my feelings towards Juan receiving moderator rights. You're a little strict, even without the moderator rights. Often enforcing the rules to the extreme. I'm not saying that enforcing the rules is a bad thing, but doing it excessively, especially when you're not a mod, is near-abusive. Hereby, I now strongly oppose the idea of being a moderator.

Comment So what's with the sudden problem with Juan helping to enforce the chat rules? As an admin I'm looking for all the help I can get to make the best decisions possible. Stepping on mods and admins' toes is one thing but just being there to back them up is something else altogether. For one I think that the fact Juan can confidently use the chat rules to warn or otherwise inform users that their behaviour could use improvement is nothing but a sign he would be a good moderator.

And concerning the issue of too many moderators, I'm currently sitting in chat with 4 mods including myself. This is the regular amount of mods at this time and why we cannot have another mod is simply beyond my level of comprehension.      04:43, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Comment Quote: " For one I think that the fact Juan can confidently use the chat rules to warn or otherwise inform users that their behaviour could use improvement is nothing but a sign he would be a good moderator."

He obviously is extreme in his views, and he won't be improving users, if you read the logs he doesn't trust new users, and it can take him months to give them a chance. What a good way to detour new users from wanting to join our community. I believe you should all re-read the logs, and make sure this is really what you want- A chat run with an iron hoof, mistrust, and the paranoia of Juan.

And before any of you slam me for slander, once more take a look at those logs, because it's all in there, I'd be glad to pull out the TL;DR version for you if you'd prefer that, but not tonight, it's Christmas.

Comment That is true, I don't trust new users but you may have gotten the wrong idea. New users usually earn my trust within the first 10 minutes.

He's actually been a very good friend of mine for awhile now, so unless you know someone's personal life, perhaps you should refrain from judging it? just another example of you passing hasty, as you put it yourself, "Swift" justice.

It's hilarious seeing all of these "too many mods" votes. Only mods on at the moment is only me and Ozuzanna. Juan is there too, we could have 3 but apparently 3 is too much.

Comment That sounds like regular old politics with you COD4, if something doesn't fit with what you want, if a vote is inconvenient, erase it, don't count it.

A vote is a vote, cast by members of the community. Most of the votes for Juan say basically nothing about why he'd be a good mod, just "Oh I think you're good, you're in." There are votes expressing why he should NOT be one, there are even votes expressing why he isn't needed as a mod right now, but of course, since they are votes that don't support your choice, they are wrong. | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 16:20, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Nitz: There's plenty of evidence why "too many mods right now no sorry you're not having my vote" is a bad reason to oppose an rfcm when there are barely any mods in chat at times every day. For admins, it is optional for them to go into the chat, but what if they didn't? Or barely some did? Then the chat would be modless, thankfully there are a few who do go in chat when mods are not there at those times, but imagine if those admins decided to not bother then most of the "too many mods" votes would be the opposite. And it's not guaranteed that the current admins who visit chat frequently now will always do so in the future. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   19:22, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

We're getting real bored of your constant ad-hominems. Clean up the way you argue or don't argue at all. Fact of the matter is, votes that do not discuss the candidate being discussed do not add to the discussion at hand and therefore are not valid votes. I don't know, nor do I care if you have some sort of agenda that you need to keep to, but keep your personal gripes out of other people's mod applications.      19:23, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, this will be my final stance. Also... Comment Can we finally wrap this up? This whole deal between Nitz, CoD and Juan is ridiculous. If you guys have some beef notwithstanding this vote, take it to another forum, PM, website, Skype, whatever. This vote is STRICTLY about whether or not Juan should be a mod, NOT about how votes are dealt, marked, and valued. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 64.3.53.186 19:01, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Comment This rfcm (along with any others in the future with the same/similar votes combined) will be wrapped up when the forum dies down and becomes inactive, as per all the other rfcms which had a mixture of support and opposition. Only when it's inevitable it will pass or fail, will it be quickly decided on. If you read the top it says until the forum is inactive, and when there's not a clear consensus discussion still needs to happen until the forum either reaches a strong support/opposition or becomes inactive altogether. The verdict then can be decided. The more discussion goes on, the longer it will be. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   19:18, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Strong support Ok, this is getting out of hand. Too many mods. Well I see the chat with hardly any mods. Maybe it's my timezone, but still. I say let Juan become a mod. He does the job right. He also has the qualities of a mod not like me but anyways. I give him a chance However, Juan. If you are reading this. If you do become mod, try not to be too strict.

Temporarily closing the nominations page

After adding a grand total of 1 mod since the last discussion about this, there is clearly too many moderators as evidenced by the large amount of votes saying that there were too many moderators on Juan's vote, which is arguably the reason it didn't pass. Therefore this nominations page is not serving any purpose except providing disappointment for perfectly good candidates who will get declined simply because the number of mods doesn't fit other users' agendas. I'm simply speaking for all of the voters who claimed there were too many mods, so I expect their support for this in due course. Thanks!

Strong oppose How odd that right after one of your close buddies gets to be a mod you both (who stated before that to many mods wasn't a "Good enough reason to vote oppose") would choose to nominate and support this. We still have not solved the issue of graveyard shift moderators, which means that our last promotion has done absolutely nothing to increase the stability of the chat. I cannot support closing the applications right now, because I believe people should be able to apply when they want too, as well as having the 'clear as day' fact that we haven't confronted the problem with chat having to few/ almost no moderators during some timezones. I can't even begin to support this when we are blatantly ignoring a problem that could be much more easily solved by keeping apps open. | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 17:01, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Well you see it seems that people think there's a cap to how many chat moderators we can have, as per the last chat mod app, most of the opposition's reasoning was something along the lines "We have enough/too many mods right now". As the chat is run democratically, and it was stated two thirds support or more was required for a successful app, it became blatantly obvious that we have too many mods according to those votes. And since no demotions are ongoing right now, as people and I'll repeat say "We have enough/too many mods" right now, it's just going to let (possibly) perfectly suitable and decent candidates down, so why should they bother? http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   17:07, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, so basically you decided to "fix" this "problem" by strongly opposing a candidate who proved himself to be online at times other mods won't. Which way are you going to go Nitz or are you going to continue in your vicious circle of the occasional ad hominem and inconsistent votes?      17:11, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Request for Sactage to lose Chat Moderator rights

Sactage(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

I personally do not see Sactage around the chat ever. Last time I saw him was a few months ago and I spend quite some time in chat. I don't think Sactage should keep his Moderator rights on this wiki due to his inactivity in our chat. Because I can't stay up all night I asked a user who is in chat when I'm not if Sactage comes to chat during that period and he/she said rarely. This gives me the certainty that he does not come to chat enough to keep his rights. Support or oppose his demotion, vote ponies. The Americanized Brony03:27, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose I am opposing because I don't really support inactivity for a removal of rights. I know I've supported this stuff in the past solely for consistency, but I just don't think it's ever fair to remove rights on account of inactivity and I'd like to see that change. If Sactage comes on and requests for his rights to be removed, then that's another story.      03:31, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose I'm going to sail on Call's boat on this one. Though at first I believed that we had too many mods, I no longer do, therefore I believe it would bring no harm to keep an inactive moderator. I know Sactage to an extent and know he's a capable fellow, so it is not like he is doing his job wrong, just not as often as wonted for most chat mods. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 03:57, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Comment - Honestly, I don't see the big deal. Rights lapsed because of inactivity are restored as soon as they return, so what does it harm? It's not like they're getting removed permanently, as that's reserved for abuse or request.  Food Foodbandlt  04:14, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose I said it in August and I'll say it again. There is no harm in someone having mod rights if they are not abusing them. This isn't like a workplace where a boss might fire someone that is slacking off in order to open the job to a potential better person. Why? Well, here at wikia, there are an unlimited supply of positions unlike an office building with a limited amount of offices.

Removal of Chat Moderator rights of Rift Cyra/Vulpes Twigy

Rift Cyra(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

Vulpes Twigy(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

I am requesting the removal of my own rights for a few reasons
1) I am prone to almost outbursting, I have troubles keeping these to myself then calming down afterwards
2) I'm only somewhat active in some timezones, This being around the GTM +13 4-7PM times
3) It causes a great deal of stress on me both psychically and mentally.
4) I feel that the chat doesn't need my mod powers as I am commonly ignored by most about them and not respected meaning that there is a higher chance of bans being placed because of "Insubordination" reasons.

I hope you take a think of what it is to be done and so on. Thank you. Rift Cyra .flow 03:51, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Support No one can force you to be a mod, it is volunteer after all, However I urge you to re-think this. You are one of the few mods that is on during our graveyard shift (even if you are not always here), and you are posting this the day after we required your help to take care of multiple trolls (in fact, that was not even 24 hours ago as of my posting of this message).

1. I am prone to almost outbursting: Almost is the key, trouble calming down after but not taking it out on others in the chat is key. hell, if you need someone to yell at PM me, I'm usually doing something worth being yelled at over >.> The key here is you DON'T, even if you ALMOST.

2. Somewhat active: Is better than some mods here can say, and the timezones you are active in are timezones we need more mods, not less.

3. Its not an easy job. Modship should not be affecting you this way, but as you're "only somewhat active", how does it cause you a great deal of stress? You're not even present.

4. -You are not ignored, you are just quiet, trust me, I feel the same way. - You are respected, just not by trolls. Anyone with a mod star gets respect because of it, and I've seen far harsher bans for lesser things given out by other mods than by you. Sometimes you're a bit to soft on the chat.

While I support your right to step down as a mod, and I respect every reason on here, and I'll support this, because when it comes to the bottom line, This is a personal choice, nobody here has the right to tell you no, just ask you re-think this. | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 04:02, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Nitz X

I understand that mod nominations are closed at the moment, but there are currently no mods on all night long. Going off of the title of the other forum, I re-nominate Nitz for moderator rights. He knows what he's doing, and when given temporary mod rights is responsible with them. He is one of the few that I'm able to say that I trust with the chat at night. He has improved tremendously since his first nomination I believe, and should be reconsidered as he is on for most of the night. Thoughts?  Food Foodbandlt  03:56, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Increase of Mods in Different Timezones

Hello. I am here to make a suggestion. Sometimes, the chat needs more mods. Well we need more mods in different time zones. The chat can have a lack of mods at times. Also, some mods do need sleep after watching the chat for such a long time. People who live in Europe, Asia, Africa, or Australia are suggestion for more mods in different timezones. We already have a lot in North America. Also, South America shares some time zones in North America. By the way, Asia and Africa are the only 2 continents that doesn't have any mods that I know of. Even if we need more mods in different timezones, anyone who applies who is living in these suggested continents should still be a good user. People don't want a bad user to be a mod. Anyways, there should be an increase of mods in different time zones. This is what I think should happen so leave a support or an oppose and tell me about your opinion.

Neutral Future moderators will and still need to be given their rights through the normal way of voting. I agree with mods spread out in different timezones, but it doesn't hurt to have a couple/few extra in some timezones. My stance on this is neutral as what is being argued is true but candidates to be moderators still need and have to go through the normal way of voting; we can't just push a couple through solely because they're in a scarcely moderated timezone.

Obviously this statement is true, we do need more mods in different timezones. That doesn't mean that they are automatically fit for moderatorship. The reason we don't have mods from Asia or Africa is because we don't have a lot of users from those continents, we can't just have mature users from those places if we want. Africa and Asia don't have a whole lot of internet usage in the first place, and Asia has strict censorship.  http://i.imgur.com/qJENjks.gifﾚ∆ㄅhttp://i.imgur.com/rtVOpOl.png 03:36, December 13, 2012 (UTC)

North Korea is one of the only countries I know in Asia that has strict censorship. Las, we do lack mods in those 2 contients. We still have Europe and Australia however Professor Pickles (평화) "War has changed." 06:49, December 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hello y'all, if you're reading this, then you can probably tell I'm applying for moderator rights. I have been a member of the Wiki for well over six months, and I am an active user in the chat (I average around 28+ hours a week in chat). Other than a ban accidentally give by Ocredan (you can check my talk page and see the evidence) and a ban I requested back in October (I needed a break), I have a clean disciplinary record. Also, as seen here: http://imgur.com/eKdJ3a4 I was given temp mod rights to help deal with an invasion. Also, now that my sports seasons are over, I will be even more active. I sincerely believe that I am capable of wielding mod rights responsibly, and that I would be a positive edition.

Considering how inactive some current mods are, I don't think we should feel the need to postpone this :P http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   21:15, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

The inactivity of other moderators is generally irreverent to his ability to mod/ his own activity. That affects those moderators, not this candidate. There's no need to force this through, let's think it out and judge things first. I don't know ITB that well and I need more information before I can make any stance personally- I feel that maybe some others may be in the same boat, but I can't be sure of that. I never see him on chat when I'm active.

Weak oppose This has nothing against you, ITB; I believe that we have plenty of chat mods. Don't get me wrong, I think you're capable, but I think we need chat mods that are cabable of watching the chat during the night shift. Wasn't there something that was passed about this issue?

Banana Republic

Banana Republic(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

I'd like to nominate Banana Republic for chat modship. She is a very friendly & kind user, has never been kicked or banned on this wiki, nor blocked. (the blocks she had were falsely imposed blocks, they don't count as they were removed later on as being mistakes)

She has also befriended many users, is a welcoming user to talk to according to the majority of the chat, and I honestly think she is perfectly mature and capable of utilizing the rights there. Thoughts? http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   20:42, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Strong support As nominator. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   20:42, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Strong support I can give a 110% backing to this. In the past, Banana has expressed great interest in helping other users out. Since she joined in November, I have not once seen her even come close to breaking any rule. As already stated by Oz, she is very kind and friendly, and a great user to have on the chat. There would be absolutely no harm in granting her moderator privileges, it could only benefit. Also, I can testify to that she is actively on during the EST night hours (11pm-3am (and later)), so she would be a great asset in that aspect as well. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/6/d/6d9b956b91e0c92565e2a90a818bee37-d5gij3r.gifAppleJon-Talk 22:24, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Support I will have to say that Banana is a good choice for chat mod as she is very social and always has a positive attitude. She may also be one of the few people who actually talks to me and is nice to me most of the time. My main concern is that maybe we have too many chat mods and I feel like we don't need anymore, but that's my opinion. Derpster945 (talk) 23:15, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Weak oppose - Only for the moment. If we agree to 3 months in the forum below us, then Banana will not meet the requirements (I know it says 2-3 but...), at least not until February 10th. We should either wait until February tenth (and perhaps until the forum under us has been concluded) before finalizing this decision. I do not think right now is the time to be nominating a new mod when we are talking about policy changes. If those are trashed, or feb. tenth rolls around (as per what I see below right now), then I'll changes to support. Banana is an excellent user, even if this seems a bit of a sudden promotion. | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 02:27, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Chat moderator requirements

As it stands, there are no solid requirements to become a chat moderator on this wiki. I believe we should layout some requirements to give a rough idea of what potential candidates for chat moderators should have. We do have a few rough guidelines. (which seem to be followed currently, but aren't written down as actual requirements such as on here)

From what I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong) a couple of them are:

• Have a clean recent kick & ban record. (Old bans/kicks should not be counted after a while, and false bans/kicks don't count either)
• Minimum of 2-3 months active in the chat.

What do you chatters think of this? What needs tweaking, and what needs adding? I'd like to hear lots of opinions on this so we can put up some solid requirements for when people are applying for chat modship. Hopefully we can come to a consensus on something, and then get some solid requirements written down. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   20:31, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Honestly, every user should strive to have a clean kick and ban record, and Moderators are supposed to set the example, so I completely agree on that part. As for the minimum amount of time on chat, I think that we should write in an exception to that, "In the case that more moderators are desperately needed, this rule may be overlooked", I highly doubt we'll ever be in that bad of a position, but it's something i feel should be attached in the fine print so to speak.

I'd also like to see that we require them to be well spoken in chat. We all forget caps sometimes, or we make typos, but when someone makes a typo every other sentence everyday, we can hardly expect them to make a good moderator- their ideas will not get across easily and users may not take them seriously. This is all a fine addition in my opinion, and I Support this idea, it will help cut down on new users who show up and ask for mod in a few weeks (we all can think of one or two people who have done this). | Land of Confusion http://th05.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/204/2/5/Disturbed_Guy_by_Djman5000.pngDiscord Prevails "We're nice grandmas" - grandma 20:43, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Comment I'm not really going to support or oppose this idea. If this is what Ozuzanna would like to put out when it comes to determining new chat mods, then that is perfectly fine to me. I think a solid 2 months would be my choice to make things more accurate. Derpster945 (talk) 21:43, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Derpster945(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

I've been wanting to do this for a while and I think it's time. I would like to nominate myself for chat moderator right. Why you might ask, well I've been viewed as a polite authority figure here and in real life. I am regularly in chat from early morning straight through till late night so almost 24 hours. I also edit this wiki regularly as well while still maintaining a conversation in chat. I've been here on this wiki for over a year and I know that there may be too many at the moment, I think one more promotion would be considered to make it even. I very rarely fight other users and I know and enforce chat rules when things go wrong. So now the question is do you agree or disagree, thank you for your time.

Consideration of Demoding Sactage

Hello, Haedman here. I write a forum about the mod Sactage. I was considering of having his chat rights removed. Now people ask why? Well I have a couple of reasons. One reason is he hardly comes on chat. I haven't seen him in this chat since late November. I seen him go on the Call of Duty Wiki Chat much more often but hardly here. Second may sound pointless or is pointless but he's VSTF. He already haves a major job on Wikia. Dosen't that give him some sort of authority. Third is related to the first rule. If someone never comes on this chat with rights, then why even have them. Besides, it just take up a space and leave one room out for other better candidates. Now I bet what most of you are thinking, No. We can't just remove someone rights for inactivity. Well, people did consider demoding some mods for inactivity. However, they had excuses. If Sactage dosen't have an excuse why he's a mod, then should we just demod him. This is truly my opinion and point of view. If anyone opposes, I'm fine with that. But if you do say yes or no, please write a positive logical reason why you support or don't support. I might even give back positive feedback. Thank you for taking the time to reading this if you did. P.S I do live in a differnet timezone, but I am 100% certian he hardly comes into the chat. I stay up late these days and I cleary don't see him. I see every other mod besides him. Professor Pickles (평화)

We are currently trying to decide whether rights should be removed or not due to inactivity. If you would like for inactive moderators to be demoted (temporarily) feel free to support it here. The Americanized Brony14:05, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

The fact he is a VSTF doesn't mean anything in terms of authority. I Strong oppose any removal of rights due to inactivity. Just because you 'haven't seen him' doesn't mean he's done anything to warrant a removal of his rights. His presence as a chat moderator does not affect anyone else's potential. This is a misunderstanding too many people have here.      17:52, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose There's no realistic limit to how many chat mods (or any usergroup as a matter of fact) a wiki can have, so I don't see why we should free up positions because people are inactive. I see no compelling reason to demod Sactage. -- Ozuzanna (Talk) 18:02, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Comment Well I was thinking of let's do this. How about we stop saying we have too many mods in this wiki Ozuzanna because you said there really isn't a limit. And we remove this forum because this wasn't really a vote but a suggestion and I just needed feedback. Also Cod4, I understand where you are, but why give a mod status to someone who isn't going to even watch the Chat. It just seems pointless. Professor Pickles (평화)

He gave the rights back in July, when Sactage frequented the chat. As you have already clarified my point there is no limit, it doesn't hurt to leave his rights as they are. And about too many mods, hasn't this already been acknowledged recently by the majority hence why some Rfcms have been passing as of current? You're saying something is happening when it really isn't. -- Ozuzanna (Talk) 00:53, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Comment I understand your point. It's just people might get confused. Honestly, I'm a bit confused as well, but I still have a understanding. Professor Pickles (평화)

People who earn the rights have earned the ability to use them until they have done something to necessitate their removal, or asked for them to be removed. There is nothing wrong with inactivity and there's no reason to prosecute inactive users by removing every right they earned.      13:11, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

If we are going to go with your idea of thinking Cod4, then I suggest we don't have a mod limit. Ok maybe we do need a mod limit, but well. There are some great people to be mod but there is too many mods. And there is like that one mod taking all the space. I mean you guys even consider demoding some mods for inactivity. Luckily they had very important excuses that gave them a pass. So I cut this short, if we are going to have mods stay forever even though they are inactive, then consider having a no mod limit. Professor Pickles (평화)

Where does it say there is a mod limit? I'm curious. -- Ozuzanna (Talk) 17:24, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

StephOfTheEast(talk • contributions • block log • chat ban log • logs • rights)

I'm nominating StephOfTheEast to become a chat moderator on this wiki. From my experience she is a mature and intelligent user who frequents the chat without ever causing any trouble, and is also on when we lack mods sometimes (Her timezone is Australian). She has never been kicked, banned or caused disruption; I think she would make a great addition to the chat mod team. -- Ozuzanna (Talk) 09:01, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Strong support As nominator. http://i.imgur.com/B0lGGoQ.gifOz   09:01, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Support Great user, I've seen her a lot of times in the Chat, never causes trouble and is mature. SnooPINGAS usual I see! (talk) 09:33, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Support Per Ozuzanna and she's active when their are few mods on so I think Stephanie would make a good mod http://i.imgur.com/TF4KO7d.pngAnti Bully Ranger ^Talk? http://i.imgur.com/0rJMjWz.png

Strong support I do admit, she's quite amazing at behavior. Professor Pickles (평화) "War has changed." 09:55, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Strong support Didn't expect to see this for another month. Oh well, my vote would've been the same anyway. You are our best choice out of the current users.

Strong support StephOfTheEast is a very mature user, and has handled moderator rights temporarily before. Her time zone is also valuable to the chat, as it is during the time where there are few mods around. Captain Derpy (talk) 10:03, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Strong support Steph is one of the friendliest users I've ever seen and is very well rounded. TheUltimateH4M ^Talk 11:21, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
