The Sims Wiki:Requests for moderatorship

Chat moderator requests are almost always open on.

Minimum requirements
If you feel that you are a valuable member of Chat and you think you would benefit from the Chat moderator rights, this is where to apply. The minimum requirements are:
 * Fair knowledge of operating Chat.
 * Being highly active in Chat.
 * Applying for this should not be the first thing you do after joining Chat for the first time.


 * Understandable, (almost 100%) correct English all the time.
 * If u talk liek dis, ur not rdy 2 bcome Chat mod.


 * A record of civil behavior
 * If you're constantly being told not to mess around then you're not ready for this.

Stage 1: Nominating

 * 1) Users may nominate themselves for Chat moderator rights.
 * 2) Multiple requests at one time are allowed.
 * 3) Moderator candidates that are not given any additional privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month.

Stage 2: Voting

 * 1) Users may support, be neutral toward, or oppose the requst. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
 * 2) Users must be active in Chat in order to vote.
 * 3) Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
 * 4) An administrator will then determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that Chat moderator requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.
 * 5) Admins may vote on a request. However, an admin who votes on a request and later reviews the request must review according to the vote result, not their personal opinion of the nominee.
 * 6) Votes may be closed early if it is obvious that consensus against it will not be reached. (e.g. 6+ support and 0 oppose)

What you will do as a Chat moderator

 * Protect the channel from disruptive behavior by warning, kicking and/or banning disruptive individuals.

What you may not do as a Chat moderator

 * Use your operator privileges to take advantage of users or to control the Chat.
 * Ignore the needs and wants of Chat users.
 * Abuse rights by using them incorrectly, for personal reasons or against non-disruptive users.

DevlyHallows
The reason I would like to request for Chat moderation rights is because I find myself, most days on the Wiki chat. I try to be friendly and as positive as possible on the live chat. I have never been blocked from chat, so far and It also helped me make friends. So I hope this is enough to prove you right about me and the chat and specifically how I respond to chat. 08:18, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak support - Could be effective as a chat moderator. 18:18, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - I'd say DevlyHallows would be good as a chat moderator because he is a frequent user who has never been disruptive. Asher Éire I'm a lonely person, so please talk to me... 18:30, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - I barely ever see him in chat and I don't really think he has the experience or maturity I'd desire from a chatmod.

Ninjamellark
The reason I would love to become a chat mod is so that I could teach others on the help desk and chat on what I have learned while encountering the Sims 2 years ago. I have played both Sims 2&3 and know what and how to do. I take serious but excellent leading roles and lead others into friendly and helpful people, and hope that they copy from what I have learned. I will never abuse the power of becoming a mod. I will never also use language such as c u 2 morrow, as I have never done that. Thanks for listening. Ninja Attack!! 19:01, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - You registered 8 days ago and (probably due to timezone issues) I haven't seen you in Chat at all. I'd say maybe wait a little bit longer. 19:13, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose You've only been on chat a few times, and even in those times you haven't said much. Also, the chat is not just for helping people play The Sims, you can talk about whatever you want in it. Maybe if you come on chat more often you'll get to be a Chat Mod one day, good luck! c:
 * Oppose - You only joined a few days ago and I haven't seen you in chat at all.
 * F.I.Y. I have been on this wiki for more than a month, and I have been on chat, most likely when your not around, Woganhemlock. Maybe you should just give people a chance and actually Vote for. 121.72.210.78 (talk) 08:56, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - That's not the best behavior at all, Ninjamellark. It's true that he hasn't seen you when you're around, but you're still considerably new to the wiki.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  09:13, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Your profile says you joined January 20, 2013, which was 9 days ago, and you say on your user page you live on the Gold Coast; I'm from Australia too and would have probably seen you in chat if you were there. If you want me to vote for you, prove to me why I should rather than just saying to do so.
