Forum:Chat Moderator Request - Cc99910

Forums: Index > Wiki proposals and applications > Chat Moderator Request - Cc99910

Hello my fellow Nukapedian's, I, Cc99910, hereby humbly request the privilege of becoming a Chat Moderator on our fine Wiki.

Who are you, and why do we need you?

Well, I have been here for a long time, an anon who viewed the articles often and made the occasional edit. I was here since the time The Pitt came out for Fallout 3, and I was fascinated by this site. So many articles, so much information. Well, I eventually got around to creating an account, which I believe was a little while before the chat feature was added in. I joined chat when it first came about, but was a bit turned off by it at the time due to not feeling very welcome. So, I came back months later to find a much more welcome user-base, so I decided to become more active. However, due to events that were out of my control, I could only join for short amounts of time every couple days. Back in April, I was finally able to become more active in chat, and I love it. I love meeting new people, learning about other cultures, making friends with many people, and having a safe environment to even talk about my own problems and get help.

Unfortunately, there was a bit of a downside. Every night, around 02:00 UTC, the mods went away. That was the perfect time for people to come into chat, ruining many people's time with nonsense. Sometimes there would be a mod on, but they couldn't sit at their computer all night, so this was left to happen all night until somebody happened to stumble in. I, for one, don't want to see this sort of thing happen. I happen to meet the requirement for Chat Moderator, have been approached by several several mods/admins/chat regulars about applying, and I would love nothing more than to ensure that other users like myself can frequent chat without fear or annoyance. Please, help me help our chat.

• I have not been in chat much at all lately so I do not have enough first-hand knowledge of your character and sense of responsibility as a potential chat mod. But it seems like many of my fellow administrators definitely approve of you, so take this as more of a yes =P --Skire (talk) 21:15, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
• Not only do I feel we need another mod during this time (I should know, I read the overnight chat almost every day), but Cc is also the first person that comes to mind when I think about filling that requirement. The Gunny

• What kind of friend would I be!? That, and yes, your frequency of time spent on chat coupled with your rule-following manner would make you an excellent C-mod if we ever needed one. And it would seem we do. --The Ever Ruler (talk) 01:19, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

My endorsement was added in the drafting phase. Cc isn't THAT tyrannical. ;) ~ Toci ~ ^{Go ahead, make my day.} 06:10, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

How could you Toci?! D; - CC 06:24, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

I would like to vote yes, but we have too many users with roll back (6 chat mods and 1 mod). I know that most of chat "potatoes" (users who are mostly in chat) would make fine chat mods (as they see how many rules were broken), but it is just the fact too many users with rollback. Energy X ∞ 08:18, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

I don't quite understand. What does rollback have to do with a chat mod request? ~ Toci ~ ^{Go ahead, make my day.} 08:35, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, did not quite explain. When I meant users with rollback I meant the chat mods. Too many chat mods for now on. Energy X ∞ 08:48, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Ah. I see what you mean. I'd just like to say that Victor, Scarface, myself, Limmie, all of the "chat potatoes", Leon, Higgey, and a few more people discussed this before he even thought about applying. We came to an agreement that another chat mod is needed for this time slot, so we thought about potential candidates. Cc is the only one we could think of who didn't decline. As soon as the users I mentioned previously log on and see this, they can tell you the same. ~ Toci ~ ^{Go ahead, make my day.} 08:56, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

The raw number of chat mods doesn't matter - there is no such thing as "too many", and this ends up being quite misleading. Yes, there are times when we have a lot of chatmods on(around 1800-0100(UTC), but as CC has highlighted in his request there is currently very few if any just a few hours later. Not recruiting a Chatmod in a time we need them just because at some other time there are many makes no sense. Agent c (talk) 10:58, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

All right, you got me. I'll put my vote, then. Oh, and best to put up in News Digest, then. Energy X ∞ 11:04, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Just be a player first and know chat is for all of us.

• Folks might at times disagree. dis·a·gree/ˌdisəˈgrē/

Verb: Have or express a different opinion / Disapprove of.

• Be sure to play by the rules. Mod Opinion is just an opinion..

Temper action with the playful social interaction and the rules of this site.

SaintPain→ Look for me Dec 22 Y'all know what I'm say'n. 20:01, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, Cc. Take all of this advice into account. All mods are tyrannical assholes who only care about themselves. You must be sure that you follow the opinion of the ever so wise SaintPain. ~ Toci ~ ^{Go ahead, make my day.} 21:19, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

I can't say this enough.

~ I never said "All mods are tyrannical assholes who only care about themselves.

Those who do say that speak for themselves. Move'n on.

SaintPain→ Look for me Dec 22 Y'all know what I'm say'n. 20:33, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

You may not have said those exact words, but you have accused admins and mods of being corrupt in the past; you were once banned from chat for doing so and refusing to offer any evidence to back up your claims. Agent c (talk) 20:34, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

And how is that relevant at all to the original post by SaintPain on this page? --Skire (talk) 00:44, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

What Saint posted isn't even relevant on this page. Should be on another forum page, not a chat mod request. ^{Hawk da Barber 2012 - BSHU Graduate} 00:47, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

I don't understand, he was directly giving his advice to Cc. That seems quite relevant to me. --Skire (talk) 00:48, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

I was talking about the post above. Not the first one. ^{Hawk da Barber 2012 - BSHU Graduate} 01:20, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

(←)  The post above is in response to Tocino's reply to Saint's first post. Tocino's post was inappropriate in the first place; it was little more than perversion of Saint's original post giving advice. --Skire (talk) 01:23, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see now. Thanks for making me look like a dumb ass Siggy ;) or maybe I made myself look like one. Mah bad. ^{Hawk da Barber 2012 - BSHU Graduate} 01:25, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Pick a reason. Am I accused of an off hand interpretation or my actual words? You said it your self "I did not use those words." You over reacted and tried to force them on me.

If you can prove I ever said one false word I would get on my knees and go far beyond an apology.. But I am innocent. This is your pride. your abuse of petty powers. Not mine.

I sign because I care.

SaintPain→ Look for me Dec 22 Y'all know what I'm say'n. 00:39, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Pain, again, noone has accused you of saying those words, but of having a similar opinion. You were banned from chat for 3 days (had I known it was your 3rd offence at the time it would have been a month) for basically accusing the admin/mod team of being corrupt. You did something similar in KingClydes B/c vote. Agent c (talk) 00:50, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
