==Minimum requirements==
If you feel that you are a valuable member of the [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|IRC channel(s)]] and you think you would benefit from channel operator flags, this is where to apply. The minimum requirements are:
*An account on the IRC network for the channel you're requesting flags for. (i.e. If you're requesting chanop for the freenode channel, you need to have an account on irc.freenode.net. If you're requesting chanop for the ChatLounge channel, you need to have an account on irc.chatlounge.net)
*An account on irc.freenode.net
*An account on The Sims Wiki. You may be asked to verify the link between your on-wiki and your IRC identity. A good way to do this is to use NickServ's SET PROPERTY feature; see <code>/msg NickServ help set property</code> on how to use it. You can view any values you set with this feature using the <code>/msg NickServ taxonomy</code> command.
*Fair knowledge of operating an IRC channel and with using IRC in general.
*Being highly active in the channel
:*Applying for this should not be the first thing you do after joining IRC for the first time.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
*A record of civil behavior
:*If you're constantly being told not to mess around then you're not ready for this.
*Prerequisites — before you can become an Op, you must already be a HalfOp. Before you can become a SuperOp, you must already be an Op.
 
Please be sure you read [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel Operators]] carefully in order to understand what channel operators are all about before applying.
 
==Application procedure==

=== Stage 2: Discussion ===
*A period of discussion shall last at least threefive 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 [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Snowball clause|"snowball's chance"]] of passage - it may be canceledclosed early.
*After threefive days of discussion, it shall be determined whether a consensus is in favor of a user being given Operatoroperator 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 threefive days, discussion will continue for three additional days.
:*If, after this time, there is no clear consensus eitherfor inpromotion, favorthe ornomination will end and the nominee will not inbe favorpromoted. of''This promotion,will theoccur requesteven proceedsif toa Stageconsensus against promotion does not 3exist.''
 
===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===

Administrators, bureaucrats, and bureaucratschannel operators may participate in discussions and vote, but must be impartial when moderating, determining consensus, and awarding rights.
 
==Guidelines for discussion and consensus==
== What you may not do as an IRC channel operator ==
*Use yourAll registered users may participate in a nomination for IRC channel operator; privilegeshowever, more weight will be given to takearguments advantagemade ofby users orwho to controlfrequent the IRC channel.
* Points of discussion should be focused on assessing the ability of a nominee to perform their duties. Discussion should avoid sweeping praise or generalizations (e.g. "he/she is a good editor" or "he/she deserves it"), and focus instead on specific reasons why a user is or is not a good fit for the position.
*Ignore the needs and wants of IRC users.
* Users engaged in discussion may contradict the points raised by another user, but should remain respectful at all times. Back-and-forth arguments between two users should be avoided.
*Abuse rights by using them incorrectly, for personal reasons or against non-disruptive users.
* Generally, consensus in a request can be determined by answering these questions:
*Use the privileges unnecessarily, such as giving out voice to users when the channel isn't muted.
** Are there major and specific problems raised by multiple users regarding the nominee?
** Is there a lack of agreement between users over whether a nominee is qualified, capable of serving or a good fit for the role?
* If the answer to these questions is 'no', there likely exists a consensus for the nomination.
 
== Open requests ==
To file a request, edit the appropriate section (i.e. HalfOp, Op, and SuperOp), and then copy and paste the following text:
<!-- EXAMPLE REQUEST
 
=== [[User:Example|Example]] ===
<pre>
==== [[User:Example|Example]] ====
{{userlinks|Example}}
* Network: Network
Reason for request here. ~~~~
</pre>
 
* Replace '''Example''' with your username.
* Replace '''Network''' with either ''freenode'' or ''ChatLounge'', depending on the channel you're applying for.
* Replace '''Reason for request here''' with your nomination statement.
* Do NOT remove the '''~~<nowiki/>~~'''; this will automatically be converted into your [[Help:Signature|signature]] when you save the page.

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.
===HalfOp===
 
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.
 
===Op===
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 [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 14:45, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
