The Sims Wiki:Requests for IRC Channel operator

IRC Channel operator requests are almost always open on.

Minimum requirements
If you feel that you are a valuable member of the IRC channel and you think you would benefit from channel operator flags, this is where to apply. The minimum requirements are:
 * An account on irc.freenode.net
 * Fair knowledge of operating an IRC channel.
 * Being highly active in the channel
 * Applying for this should not be the first thing you do after joining IRC for the first time.


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


 * 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

 * Users may nominate themselves or other users for IRC operator rights.
 * Multiple requests at one time are allowed.
 * Operator candidates that are not given any additional privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month.

Stage 2: Discussion

 * A period of discussion shall last at least three days.
 * If a request will clearly not achieve a favorable consensus (i.e. there is absolutely no support for promotion) - in other words, the request doesn't have a "snowball's chance" of passage - it may be canceled early.


 * After three days of discussion, it shall be determined whether a consensus is in favor of a user being given Operator rights. If there is a consensus, rights will be awarded. If there is clearly no consensus for a user to be promoted, the discussion is ended and rights will not be awarded.
 * In cases where consensus is not clear after three days, discussion will continue for three additional days.
 * If, after this time, there is no clear consensus either in favor or not in favor of promotion, the request proceeds to Stage 3.

Stage 3: Voting

 * A period of voting shall last five days.
 * Votes for a nominee may only be support or oppose votes. Any neutral votes cast will not be included in an official vote count.
 * A 2/3rds majority vote (of counted votes only) is required for a promotion nomination to pass this stage.

Note
Both administrators and bureaucrats may moderate discussions and votes and determine consensus, but only bureaucrats may award rights to successful nominees. Administrators and bureaucrats may participate in discussions and vote, but must be impartial when moderating, determining consensus, and awarding rights.

What you may not do as an IRC channel operator

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

I am Chiyo on IRC and I'd like to apply for channel op permissions. With school/college now starting up again, the channel is sadly unattended and those that are around may not be paying attention to what is going on, which means trolls and spammers can run around for a while until someone comes around, which is currently an issue in the channel right now. I feel it would be beneficial to have another op who is around and knowledgeable with IRC to deal with the trouble makers.

I may not be active on the wiki but I am on IRC quite frequently and I've been in the channel since 2011. I know a lot of the users in the IRC channel and have interacted with them a fair amount and I believe I am deemed to be trustworthy.

Feel free to ask any questions and such.

 * Support While I'm not usually on when this user is on, judging by how long he's been on the channel, and his relatively clean record (as far as I know), I'm confident that Chiyo will be able to manage being a chanop on our wiki's IRC channel. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

 * Comment I don't really know you, and you only made two edits to this Wiki. But when I see k6ka's comment I actually think that you're a good user. Sims  Plumbob.png  Player  (talk) (mistakes) 14:46, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - Chiyo is a regular user on IRC and knows more about how IRC works than some of the well-known users on the wiki who use IRC. I trust that they will use these rights fairly. ~ Beds  (talk - blog ) 15:44, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - Chiyo/ChiyoMihama would be a great addition to the team. She's respected in the channel and has a strong understanding of what it's about.  I can't think of anything else at the moment that hasn't been said already. Ben (talk) 18:31, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

The three day discussion period has passed and consensus is favorable in giving Chiyo chanop on the channel. ✅ --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  21:53, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
