I wanna apply for HalfOp! I am always helpful when I am on IRC and I am very popular! I know how to use the bots and I can make the IRC a great place for all! I know a lot about chatrooms and I can protect the members of this one from trolls. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Black Boi Benji (talk • contribs) 22:28, July 6, 2016 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~
Strongly Opposed You are constantly being told not to mess around as a the result of the spam and constantly being removed by protection bots, so you don't have a record of civil behavior in the channel. I can't support your request at this moment in time. Ben (talk) 23:00, July 6, 2016 (UTC)
Strong Oppose - Since I'm not a frequent visitor of IRC, I couldn't even participate in this discussion without waiting for someone else to voice their opinions, but given what MrC has said about you, I cannot support your request and I'm seconding what MrC has said as a result. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 23:10, July 6, 2016 (UTC)
Speedily closed per the snowball clause (Let's also not forget you're currently banned from the channel right now). —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 00:28, July 7, 2016 (UTC)
I wanna nominate Auror Andrachome for HalfOp! She is helpful and very friendly! She always protects Sims Wiki against trolls and she can do the same on the IRC! Black Boi Benji (talk) 22:46, July 8, 2016 (UTC)
While I'm not opposed to it myself, she has given no indication she's interested in the position or accepts the nomination. However, she did hold the equivalent of the Op role in the past (by virtue of being sysop/admin) and used the powers appropriately. I would likely change this to support, if I had reason to believe she will accept the nomination. Ben (talk) 05:38, July 10, 2016 (UTC)
For reasons stated above. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:42, July 10, 2016 (UTC)
The nominee in question hasn't even accepted the nomination yet, so this is void until they do. —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:56, July 10, 2016 (UTC)
Not done Procedural decline — nominee has not accepted the nomination within 5 days. —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:49, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
I wanna nominate Lost Labyrinth for HalfOp! He is very friendly! He owns Mystique and Deus Ex Machina and they protect the IRC from the trolls and provide fun and he can protect the IRC from trolls too! Black Boi Benji (talk) 22:46, July 8, 2016 (UTC)
He was the former IRC contact, and knows his way around IRC which speaks volumes. However, he did step down from the position due to limited interest. It's also unclear if he's interested in or wants this nomination. I could and would support it, if I believed he was interested in the position. Ben (talk) 05:43, July 10, 2016 (UTC)
For reasons stated above. Also the last time I checked, he was retired from editing the Sims wiki, and semi-retired from anything else associated with it, including IRC. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:45, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

So, guess I'll start this off. The differences are small, since if this request is successful, I'd just gain the ability to change the topic. Back when I used to run the channel statistics web page, this would have been useful if I had to move it from one server to another, so a different URL. However, this is for a different reason. Since the new rules have been implemented, it has been proposed as part of the reform process that some users have their flags removed, due to limited IRC knowledge. One of these users occupy the SuperOp (formerly Bureaucrat) tier, while another who formerly had that tier has resigned from that role. While time will tell, if this entire proposal goes through, it would mean the only people with SuperOp abilities will be the contact, and one user who hasn't been very active lately.
Under the new rules, this is a prerequisite to SuperOp and no provision exists to leap-frog or skip tiers. In the event those users listed in the proposal are dropped, I want to be in a position to apply for SuperOp later on.
Hopefully, my record, knowledge, experience, and reputation speak for themselves. Ben (talk) 01:43, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
Support Knowing Ben from other IRC networks, he is clearly competent with using IRC and definitely a trusted channel member. This system is still fairly new so there are definitely kinks that will be worked out over time, but I have no doubt that Ben's expertise will benefit the channel. —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 01:47, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
Strong Support Ben is very skilled in IRC and is very active in the channel. I have no hesitation whatsoever to giving him more powers in the channel -- LiRtalk • blog • contribs 16:35, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
Well there is clear support for the promotion, so Done Flags added. —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 19:40, June 23, 2016 (UTC)
So, I was recently promoted to Op not even two weeks ago. Ordinarily I wouldn't attempt to move up yet again this quickly. However, the circumstances justify this. As of this writing, there are only two SuperOps, one who is marked inactive and the other marked as semi-active. The potential candidate list is very short, and any other potential candidates would have to go through the Op nomination process first.
Not sure if there's really much more that needs to be said, that I didn't say in my original Op nomination request. Ben (talk) 04:29, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
Strong Support - Although I'm not that active on IRC, from what I've seen and/or heard, you definitely seem to know and understand what you're doing. And given that we've recently had an IRC channel reform, we definitely could do with a couple more operators. You've been a half operator since 2013, but you've only been an operator for less than two weeks. But like you've said, we currently only have two SuperOps, and I don't see why being an operator for less than two weeks should have any negative effects on your nomination. So I'm all for supporting it. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:34, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
Support Like I've said in your nomination for Op, you're an IRC operator on numerous networks and you definitely have more than just channel experience. This is a no-brainer. —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:49, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
Support - MrC is a regular on the channel, and as far as I'm concerned, he is one of the few IRC users that are knowledgeable when it comes to IRC. I fully believe he'll be an excellent SuperOp. ~ Beds(talk - blog) 18:37, July 4, 2016 (UTC)
Full support - As was said above. This is a no-brainer. -- LiRtalk • blog • contribs 22:28, July 4, 2016 (UTC)
As consensus is clearly favourable, this request is now Done —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 15:40, July 9, 2016 (UTC)
