==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.
*Understandable, (almost 100%) correct English all the time.
:*If u talk liek dis, ur not rdy 2 bcome chanopIRC op.
*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 the different tiers ofwhat channel operators on Theare Simsall Wikiabout before applying.

===Note===
Administrators, bureaucrats, and other channel operators may moderate discussions and votes and determine consensus, but only SuperOps and higher may award rights to successful nominees. Administrators, bureaucrats, and channel operators may participate in discussions and vote, but must be impartial when moderating, determining consensus, and awarding rights.
 
==Guidelines for discussion and consensus==

== Open requests ==
To file a request, edit the appropriate section (i.e. HalfOp, Op, and SuperOp), and then copy and paste the following text:
{{Metabox|type=notice|image=Icon-warning-48x48.png|headline=Important|text=Please use Wikia's older, classic rich-text editor to file a nomination. You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu next to the Edit button and selecting "Classic Editor", or by going to your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|preferences]] page and changing your preferred editor to "Wikia's classic rich-text editor". Please '''do not''' use [[Help:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] as it causes issues with the page.}}
Copy and paste the following text under the heading that is titled with the position you're applying for:
 
<pre>
==== [[User:Example|Example]] ====
{{userlinks|Example}}
* Network: Network
 
Reason for request here. ~~~~
</pre>
 
* Replace '''Example''' with your username.
Replace "Example" with your username, {{Username|if you are logged in}}. Replace "Reason for request here" with your nomination statement. Once you're done, publish your edit.
* 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 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. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Black Boi Benji|Black Boi Benji]] ([[User talk:Black Boi Benji|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Black Boi Benji|contribs]]) 22:28, July 6, 2016‎ (UTC) - [[Help:Signatures|Please sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]]</small>
 
:{{Oppose|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.

::{{Oppose|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. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 23:10, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

:{{Neutral|Neutral}} 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. <span style="font-family:Segoe Script;">[[User:MrBenC|Ben]]</span> ([[User_talk:MrBenC|talk]]) 05:38, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

I wanna nominate Lost Labyrinth for HalfOp! He is very friendly!

:{{Neutral|Neutral}} 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. <span style="font-family:Segoe Script;">[[User:MrBenC|Ben]]</span> ([[User_talk:MrBenC|talk]]) 05:43, July 10, 2016 (UTC)
 
::{{Neutral|Neutral}} For reasons stated above.

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. <span style="font-family:Segoe Script;">[[User:MrBenC|Ben]]</span> ([[User_talk:MrBenC|talk]]) 04:29, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
 
:{{Support|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. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 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. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 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. ~ [[User:Beds|<font color="purple">'''Beds'''</font>]] <sup>([[User_talk:Beds|<font color="#66CDAA">'''talk'''</font>]] - [[User_blog:Beds|<font color="#66CDAA">'''blog'''</font>]])</sup> 18:37, July 4, 2016 (UTC)
 
::::{{Support|Full support}} - As was said above. This is a no-brainer. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 22:28, July 4, 2016 (UTC)
