The Sims Wiki talk:Requests for bureaucratship

Discussion of proposed RfB policies
I suppose I'll open this up with a couple questions. Who determines when R's for B will be open or closed? When a person is nominated and that person accepts their nomination, does it go directly into a vote or will there be a period of discussion and review first? The policies look good, in any case! -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 19:05, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I like it, thumbs up from me. I'd say the comment and vote period is the same. Shall we say 14 days which is more or less the norm for votes these days? Duskey ( talk ) 01:30, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * As for who decides the open/closed thing, I guess it's consensus from 'crats and admins alike. Personally I think that 3 active 'crats is a nice round number. Duskey ( talk ) 07:58, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

When will RFB be open for requests.
When will R.F.B. be open for requests again?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 20:51, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's closed since we're discussing a change in how it works at the moment. If we agree with the proposed policies on the article page then

Users may not nominate themselves for bureaucratship. Users must be nominated by another user. The user then has to accept the nomination.
 * So in short: If we approve, "requests" will never be open again, only nominations. Duskey ( talk ) 20:54, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

So in other words i can't put a request ,someone else has too?
 * If we approve of the new policies, yes. Duskey ( talk ) 21:02, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

then,how do i tell someone i want to be a 'crat?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 21:05, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * We know. --a_morris (talk) 21:29, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

i know that ,but how would another user let somebody know they wanted to be a 'crat?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 21:50, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * The point of nomination is not to get someone to nominate you but by being a part of the community, people have noticed the work you have done and thought you were worthy of becoming a bureaucrat. You can discuss your wish to be nominated informally but you should not appear to be soliciting. --a_morris (talk) 22:03, August 11, 2010 (UTC)Discuss it where,or is that meant to be in made into a policy^?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 00:11, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * The point of nominations is that a person is chosen by someone on the Wiki because they do good work and do their jobs well. It's not supposed to be about asking someone to nominate you. If something thinks you do a good job as an admin, they should nominate you for bureaucrat, it's that simple. But I don't think it's right to go around trying to drum up support, or to solicit someone to nominate you like a morris said. If someone thinks you deserve bureaucrat, they should nominate you without you even needing to ask them to do it. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 01:03, August 12, 2010 (UTC)Okay,it makes perfect sense now.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 01:32, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
