Brickipedia:Requests for Chat Moderator

Requests: Chat Moderator - Administrator - Bureaucrat - Rollback and 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.

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.

Thorin II Oakenshield (Talk - Contribs - Block/rights logs - Logs) - - (Back to user rights requests)

I am very mature on chat, have made 100+ Mainspace edits, and know what goes on around here (Maybe a little TOO much :P). There is nothing much else to say. So I am going to end it here. Thorin, At your service! 04:23, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Support

1. He is on chat a lot, and he has been there without any moderators when there has been a vandal. I think that these rights would be very useful for him. Full Support. –Agent Charge Are you in? 06:11, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

• Heck, so have I. And I'm not the only one. --LEGO2013Helper (talk) 18:15, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

1. The fact that he reads the logs makes me feel he is ready for any situation that could appear on chat. Per charge, Full Support -LazerzSoH --- Destroy, Destroy, Exterminate!
2. If you aren't trying to hide anything, then him reading the logs is fine

1. While what Jeyo said did waver my confidence in my decision a bit, my overall opinion of Thorin being a nice, mature user overweighs that point, so support. And about the chat log things: I don't see how that affects modship in any way. He'll still be reading the logs regardless. Denying him the rights won't do anything to change that. In other words, if you're concerned about him reading the logs, then talk to him about that and don't express your opinion in this way! And if you think the fact that him "stalking" you means that you simply aren't comfortable with him having the rights, I have to ask you, how serious could any power abuses on his part be and, more importantly, HOW ARE THE ABILITIES WE'D BE GRANTING HIM RELATED TO HIM READING THE LOGS?! -- BrickfilmNut Productions!

Neutral

1. I don't know. On one hand, he seems mature and has encountered spammers before. But on the other, he seems to want the position of Chat Mod very, very badly, more than most users. When told he had to make 100 mainspace edits before requesting again, he went around making one word edits that, while not bad, weren't that good either. He made the edits solely for the purpose of achieving Chat mod, it seems, as he previously stated that he "probably won't edit the wiki for a long time". There's also something else that makes me uneasy. I don't know what it is and I could be completely wrong, but it's just a gut feeling. So...yeah.

• I don't want mod rights THAT bad, but I think I deserve them. If I wanted to have them bad I would probably request them daily. Thorin, At your service! 16:38, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

  And As for the one-word edits, I was fixing the grammar so they would be more understandable, and I edit because I want to, not for Chat-Moderator Desire, if that were the reason, I would have stopped at 100. Thorin, At your service! 16:48, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

  That is a good point (the fact that he didn't stop). -- BrickfilmNut Productions!

  As for what I stated earlier, the not editing thing, I saw LOTS of pages that needed some editing, and decided to edit. I also said Probably. Thorin, At your service! 00:36, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

1. I'm not sure on how to conflict and cross my previous support but Per Jeyo. If anyone can help show me the special thing that does that, please do. I'd like to talk to this user more.-LazerzSoH --- Destroy, Destroy, Exterminate!

   Striked for you. ~ CJC 18:23, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

2. Neutral. ~ CJC 18:23, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose

1. I already feel stalked when he reads every log of chat, which he says he's reading them all the time. For a MODERATOR to read the log every day, that just freaks the crap out of me.

Aldendan Knight Forever Knight Time! the question is: is or is not(Vote struck, see comments)

1. Why should it? There isn't anything wrong with it, technically.

Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 04:28, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

1. Yes, he can read them, but for him to shout it out loud is kind of making me feel stalked.

Aldendan Knight Forever Knight Time! the question is: is or is not

1. So a non-mod can read the logs every day, but as soon as they become a moderator, that is just wrong. ~ CJC 11:30, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

   No, he can read it, but he doesn't need to shout it out loud in chat.

Aldendan Knight Forever Knight Time! the question is: is or is not

1. I don't "Shout it out loud in chat". Thorin, At your service! 16:53, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

2. I really think the user needs more time here. I know there isn't anything wrong with it - but it is really odd that he reads logs and enjoys them, I just don't like him reading stuff from before he joined. A month or two, and I'd probably support. Per Jeyo, too. --Czech 06:41, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
3. No. Just no. especially after he stalked me. Irnakk Talk And the Empire will be defeated by Ewoks! (Vote struck, see comments)
4. Per Czech. -Legoboy 09:28, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
5. No Because when i see him he is on the Chat for maybe 30 - 60 minutes a day, and most Chat Mods are on 2 - 15 hours a day RaceLord talk, Lord of Nothing
   • I'm not. It's more like a half hour for me...

Darth henry The Dojo Turtles! 16:14, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

1. • If mods really were on 15 hours a day, That would be sad. Thorin, At your service! 16:45, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

2. He seems like a kind of nice user but the way he reads the logs and likes to tell us stuff that he shouldn't even know that he's learnt from reading them makes me think that he's not mature enough to be a chat mod, if he were to read the logs and not be creepy about it I might support.

   • CGCJ, I do not "Like to post what I read" I did ONE time when I was new. Thorin, At your service! 00:38, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

3. I might have voted support had I not read Jeyo's neutral vote. -NBP 14:40, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
4. Per Czech and NBP. I don't trust the guy seeing that he WANTS to be a chat mod and reads logs, gives me the creeps, so until it's confirmed that he is an normal guy who is actually a fan and not a stalker, I say nay.- Jedi master sith Spider Talk Ultimate Spider-Man! (Vote struck, see comments)

   • I am a LEGO Fan, not a stalker, and if I did not want the rights, why am I running? Why did ANYONE run if they did not want the rights? Thorin, At your service! 17:31, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

     1) I still don't know if you're a stalker or not, liars lie. 2) most of the time people are nominated because the deserve/earned it, not want it.- Jedi master sith Spider Talk Ultimate Spider-Man!

5. Per Czech and Clone. --LEGO2013Helper (talk) 18:16, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

• Really, I don't know whether to scold or laugh at this "stalking" business. He was not stalking you. I read the chat logs often as well, actually. Was he asking for your name or personal info? Because that's what I call stalking, not reading the logs and telling everyone about it.

Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 07:13, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

• And even then, I don't tell people what I read. I did one day, but not anymore. Thorin, At your service! 16:52, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

• I'm laughing because of how terrible these opposes are. Reading chat logs =/= stalking? You all know that whatever you post on chat will end up in the logs, and that anyone can read them. The fact someone is reading them doesn't make them the one at fault. If you are worried about what he might read in the logs, then be more careful about what you post on chat... ~ CJC 11:29, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

  NBP actually had a good reason to oppose. Thorin, At your service! 16:39, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

  When I wrote this, NBP hadn't opposed... ~ CJC 18:11, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

• Per Jeyo and CJC. If he specifically went after you and then asked for personal info, that's stalking. -LazerzSoH --- Destroy, Destroy, Exterminate!
• Note - if another admin disagrees, feel free to undo my strikes, but for the record, I've struck the opposes that basicly just say "He reads logs, therefore he is a stalker". Unless you have actual proof for him being a stalker, I fail to see how him reading the chat logs can be considered a valid reason to oppose. ~ CJC 18:23, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

And also -- per DH and CJC. If people are getting freaked out by the fact that he reads the logs, then logic dictates there's a reason. What are people saying on chat that they don't want everyone to know? Just something to think about. Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 19:06, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
