Hello Nukapedia I am Spocklan116 I am coming before you to asking for the position of chat moderator.

Who am I?

I'm sure a few of you know me a bit. My first name is Lachlan. I'm a 16 year old from Australia who is currently being home school living with my Mother my Step Dad and my two sisters. I Am aspiring to become a game designer but recently I have become more interested in let's playing and streaming as it can be both fun and profitable.

Why me?

I Joined Nukapedia in late 2012 after using the wiki to help me with quests and items. I have forgotten most of my early days in the wiki but I can remember that I was in chat a lot because everyone had a very similar interest the fallout series.

During my time on Nukapedia, I Have become more active in the community but I have become greatly active on the chat and I was voted into the position of "Vice President of the Enclave" about a month ago which was a pretty big achievement to me.

The reason to why I want to be a chat moderator is because I want to help and fill in those odd times when other chat moderators are not around. Since I live in Australia I can cover a huge time zone including those odd times.

Thank you for reading I hope to see your thoughts bellow

  3. Yes Gunslinger470/The-Gunslinger "Some say this user is a Moderator..." Some say this user used to be a Moderator... 01:41, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

No

  1. No --Skire (talk) 23:54, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
  2. No I'm a bit conflicted here. On one hand, I think you have what it takes to be a chat mod, or at the very least have the potential to get there. On the other hand, as someone who is in chat fairly often, I have yet to see a need for a permanent chat mod that isn't filled by Emiko and Hail's recent elections to the position. Admins have the right to delegate temporary mods, and I think for now that is sufficient to cover any lapses in moderation. Until such a time when there is proof of continuous and/or prolonged periods with a lack of moderation, I can't support this request.

  3. No While you do cover a time frame when mods tend to be a little sparse, that's also when we have the least amount of chat activity. I originally started writing this as a comment, then realized that there isn't enough here for a yes vote. You spend a decent amount of time in our chat, but I don't have complete confidence in your ability to mod. --MountHail (talk) 00:18, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
  4. No Detroit lions Hawk da Barber 2013 - BSHU Graduate 01:17, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
  5. No I like you, Lachlan. You're a good friend of mine, but I just don't think you're ready for this position yet. Toci Anchor Don't give up the ship! Toci Anchor 01:21, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

Excluded votes

Neutral I'm still not sure. I like you, Spock, but I also understand where the No voters are coming from... Touch call.... Paladin117>>iff bored; 00:24, April 9, 2014 (UTC) I've decided to re-consider my vote for the time being. Paladin117>>iff bored; 02:07, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Comments

Is there anything to indicate that a chat mod is required during your times of presence? Agent c (talk) 23:52, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

@Agent C I've been around when there are no mods or chat bot a few users come in so I guess a chat mod would be required to make sure nothing bad happens Enclavesymbol Vice President Spocklan116 00:01, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

I would be looking for more than that... Any dates, times, concrete examples? Agent c (talk) 00:04, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
I can confirm I'm often during the European day on a chat with no mods/admins online, while Spocklan is there. And sometimes, there are stars available, but they don't reply on any pings... - Greets Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 00:13, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
@Agent C well this usually happens around 2pm GMT but I'm not sure if the time converter I'm using is right or not. Enclavesymbol Vice President Spocklan116 00:18, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
That would be 10pm AEST? Its usually sparse in her at that time. Agent c (talk) 00:37, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Just a question for posterity's sake, but can an endorsing admin cast a vote that is anything but a yes? I was under the assumption that giving an endorsement precluded one from voting no or neutral. Not to question Paladin's right to vote or anything, I'm merely curious on how to view this, as to my knowledge it has never happened before.
