Brickipedia:Requests for Chat Moderator

Requests: Chat Moderator - Administrator - Bureaucrat - Patroller

This is Brickipedia's requests for chat moderator page, on which any user may request chat moderator rights. Chat moderators have the ability to kick and ban users from chat who are being disruptive.

If you are considering nominating yourself for chat moderator, please read through the checklist to make sure that you meet the criteria.

To file a request, place the following code under the "current requests" header, above any existing requests.

===replace this with your username===
{{Rfr/1|replace this with your username}}
replace this with a brief paragraph about why you want to be nominated. ~~~~

Requests made on this page are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 80% support then they will be closed as successful. Opposers must provide reasons for opposing. Most requests last for around a week, unless there is clear consensus either way after a short period of time.

If a user has been nominated for chat moderator before, add 2 to the end of the topic header. For users with multiple requests, add the respective number of the request. It is also considered good practice to link to previous requests for rights when nominating a user.

Knight is a good, active chatter, and doesn't violate policy at all. He's one of the more-trustworthy users I can think of, so I feel he could be trusted with chat moderator rights. He's also very sociable and welcoming to new users, which is good to have in a moderator. ToaMeiko (talk) 23:52, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Support

As nominator. --ToaMeiko (talk) 23:52, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Tentative support. Will see how it goes. --User:CzechMate/czech 23:57, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

1. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS --- CM4S (talk) 23:57, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

   Seems legit. --User:CzechMate/czech 23:58, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

2. Of course. MsD^talk 00:19, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
3. Not the most friendly user I've ever met, but I think he knows how to handle power. --User:ErkelonJay/sig1 00:28, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

   What do you mean not friendly? Most of those times it's obviously a joke. :P --Knight

   Maybe it's my gut talking to me --User:ErkelonJay/sig1 00:34, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

4. OK. ~ CJC 09:14, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
5. I see him on chat very often and has potential for CM.-User:Mr.Brix/Sig
6. Yes. User:Legoboy9373/sig 19:03, September 2, 2013 (TC)
7. Haven't had any issues with him. BrickfilmNut (talk) 16:39, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
8. Per others. -User:Nerfblasterpro/sig1 20:08, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Today he was harassing ToaMeiko on chat, so do not trust for for these rights. --User:CzechMate/czech 22:54, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

   Chatlog? —Unsigned comment by ErkelonJay (talk • contribs).

   MediaWiki:Chat/Logs/04 September 2013, just do Ctrl+F for "#hashtag", as that's about when it starts. --ToaMeiko (talk) 23:00, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

2. Per above. Unacceptable, and put me in a defenseless position, as it was several users partaking in harassment, even as a moderator, as the other online moderator was feeding in to the negativity. --ToaMeiko (talk) 23:00, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

• I accept this nomination. I think it's about time, but I think I'll fail. --Knight

I'm active on chat, and I'm trusted with rollback and patroller rights here, and sysop over at Wikianswers LEGO, so what can go wrong? I've been here for almost two years, and have never been banned or blocked. MsD^talk 23:34, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Support

1. Per my support last time. BrickfilmNut (talk) 16:40, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Your activity seems too inconsistent. You can go one month inactive, come back for a week, go inactive again, and then come back. I'm not sure. Additionally, some of your actions are occasionally out of line. I won't oppose yet, but I'm not sure I have enough reason to support. --ToaMeiko (talk) 23:39, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
2. Per Meiko on activity. ~ CJC 09:14, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
3. Per Meiko for activity as well. -User:Mr.Brix/Sig

Oppose

1. Weak oppose. Per Meiko. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 23:43, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
2. Hardly see him on chat. -User:Mr.Brix/Sig

   You're kidding, right. I request to strike this vote, as he voted on both mine and Trace's noms with this reason, and Trace's was neutral and mine oppose. That makes no sense. MsD^talk 12:28, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

   Struck. I don't see it as a valid oppose reason. If you want Mr Brix, put it as neutral. ~ CJC 16:53, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

NuffSaid (5)

NuffSaid (Talk - Contribs - Block/rights logs - Logs) - ( edits, 0 mainspace)

Well as they say, Second chances are for everyone. I'm applying again because I feel what I did in the past should be put behind us. As some conflict amongst certain users has been noticed and handled with. If you haven't read this I'd highly recommend to. I certainly hope I can get these rights back as my mission here is to help others and build friendships! -Nuff

Neutral

1. Hasn't been that much time yet. This vote is subject to change. MsD^talk 23:14, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
2. I am neutral because the user is always on chat but he also just recently got his rights taken away and it wasn't that long ago.-User:Mr.Brix/Sig

Oppose

1. No. In light of the recent incidents and surprisingly violent outbursts/rants it will be a long time before I support this. The apology blog has not repaired what happened so recently, nor do I think it will change the trigger-happy attitude he's shown towards users who might be socks (but, after being taunted and then kicked, turned out not to be).-- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 23:15, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

   Violent? Your taking that too far. I've discussed the issue with you personally and yet you refuse to understand... -Nuff

   Figurative violence; they were very intense posts. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 23:23, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

2. Nuff, I'm sorry, but you are quite arrogant. You don't have the best judgement either. I've seen you ban users before you had any reason to, you jump to conclusions and stick to those without listening to further insight, and you get way too egotistical at times. --ToaMeiko (talk) 23:18, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
3. Per Jeyo, and Meiko - Nuff consistently has shown he is not mature for these rights, his recent actions were awful, and showed why he is not fit for any rights. He acts like rights make a user superior. Nuff also goes into others personal problems (i.e Meiko and CM4S). He is just very arrogant. I won't support this request in a LONG time. He also does not take criticism well (as per above). You really need to mature. Sorry. --User:CzechMate/czech 23:21, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
4. I haven't bothered to read anything here at all, but what immediately came to mind was "too soon". Berrybrick 00:12, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Rainbow Dasher (2)

The Rainbow Dasher (Talk - Contribs - Block/rights logs - Logs) - (18 edits, 361 mainspace)

Right, I know this is my second swing at it, but let me tell you. I've matured up since last time, I mean it. I tell people when they are breaking the rules, so I would warn people as chatmod instead of banning/kicking them from the chat. I'm on chat quite alot of the time, the only times not are when I'm away, asleep or doing something, I know the wiki and it's users quite well.

We also need a British chat moderator :P

Edit: May I also add that socks have nothing to do with chat. And also, I'M DINO2012 YOU KNOW ME! Rainbow Dasher! I'm a banana! 18:05, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Struck, needs 100 mainspace edits. --ToaMeiko (talk) 18:10, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

1. I have a strange feeling that I need to support this. Amir got into another big conflict in chat again, and he handled it really well. Overall he's nice, active, and is...is he worthy for these rights? Meh, I'll weakly support. MsD^talk 21:44, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Neutral

You still have some things to improve on, in my opinion, especially just the amount of activity. Something to show you're ready is helping out with moderation (but not micromanaging other users), by enforcing the policies and making other users aware of the policies in a polite, respectful manner. Also we have many British moderators. :P --ToaMeiko (talk) 18:07, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Switching to oppose. --ToaMeiko (talk) 21:42, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

1. I dont really know Rainbow dasher so im out. 1.9.2013 21:10 Finnish time User:Korppufin

#Never seen or heard of the user before. User:Legoboy9373/sig 18:15, September 1, 2013 (UTC) (Moved to oppose)

1. You may have seen me as Dino2012 this is my new username. --Rainbow Dasher! I'm a banana! 18:30, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

2. I've not worked out why yet, but I'm not comfortable supporting this. ~ CJC 18:58, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

   Could it be since he made those socks? --User:ErkelonJay/sig1 18:59, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

   What? ~ CJC 19:14, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Per CJC,. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 20:11, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
2. Per Meiko, but also something that nobody has brought up yet is that he has been harassing users who are supposedly underage. There are a few instances in screenshots on Sannse's talk page, but I've seen it at least twice since she spoke to him. Berrybrick 21:36, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
3. Per Berry. I did remember that, but I didn't bring it up (not sure why I didn't) --ToaMeiko (talk) 21:42, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

   I think everyone should look at Meiko's own quote and think about it. "Instead of focusing on a user's mistakes in their past, look at the progress and improvement they have made over time. The past is a limited interval of time, and the future is infinite. Think of what's to come over time with continued improvement, instead of what could go wrong because it happened once in the past." ―ToaMeiko --Rainbow Dasher! I'm a banana! 10:08, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

   Pretty sure he means over time, stuff that happened, say months ago, not less than two weeks ago. ~ CJC 10:33, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

4. Per Berrybrick NovaHawk 23:41, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
5. That will be the reason I was uncomfortable - Per Berry. ~ CJC 09:12, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
6. Per Berry. User:Legoboy9373/sig 19:05, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
