Requests for '''Chat moderator''' and '''content moderator''' [[The Sims Wiki:User rights|user rights]] are handled through this page. Moderator rights requests are almost always open on {{SITENAME}}.
 
==Requests for Chatcontent moderatorship==
{{Archive navigation|[[/Chat moderatorship archive 1|1]]}}
{{shortcut|TSW:RFCM}}
If you feel that you are a valuable member of [[The Sims Wiki:Chat|Chat]] and you think you would benefit from the Chat moderator rights, this is where to apply. The minimum requirements are:
 
*Be an active user of Chat (on chat every day, or nearly every day) for at least four months.
*Having a fair knowledge on how Chat works and the rules of using Chat.
*A good record of civil behavior - if you have been told off for messing around or are constantly bringing up heart-touching (i.e sensitive topics) or inappropriate topics, then you are not ready for this.
*Having good English skills is a necessity as English is the only language allowed on main Chat.
**Spking liek dis meens ur not rdy 2 bcome Chat mod.
 
===Application procedure===
==== Stage 1: Nominating ====
*Users may nominate themselves or other users for Chat moderator rights.
*Multiple requests at one time are allowed.
*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: 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 [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Snowball clause|"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 Chat Moderator 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, determine consensus, and 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 will do as a Chat moderator ===
*Protect Chat from disruptive behavior by warning, kicking and/or banning disruptive individuals.
*Maintain an active presence in Chat so that it's more easily moderated; it's not worth having these rights if you're hardly ever in Chat.
 
=== 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.

====[[User:ExampleGvaudoin|ExampleGvaudoin]]====
I, LostInRiverview, would like to nominate {{Userlinks|Gvaudoin}} for the role of Content Moderator on The Sims Wiki.
 
Gvaudoin has been an active or semi-active member of The Sims Wiki since the tail-end of 2017, and has shown herself to be a highly competent wiki editor in that time. She seems like someone who is genuinely interested not only in improving and expanding the content of the encyclopedia, but in engaging positively and helpfully with other members of the community.
 
Gvaudoin is not currently a rollbacker, and I did consider nominating her for that position instead. (For the record, rollback is not listed as a prerequisite for obtaining the Content Mod role) But, I feel that she could get more use out of the expanded toolset of the Content Mod role than she could simply from the rollback tool, and I feel that the wiki could use another experienced hand in the Content Mod position. I have no doubt that she would be well-equipped to effectively utilize these additional tools if she is ultimately promoted.

:Thank you for nominating me as a potential content moderator! I'd like to accept the nomination.
:I try my best to improve the Wiki by adding new pages, expanding on the existing content and reverting vandalism wherever I see it. If the nomination is successful I'll continue to do so and use the new tools for the good of the Wiki. —<span style="font-family:'Georgia'; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Gvaudoin|<font color="black">Gvaudoin</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Gvaudoin|💬]] 12:15, April 18, 2020 (UTC)

===='''Discussion===='''
 
*A:''Please periodinclude ofyour comments below. This discussion shall last at least threeseven days.''
{{Support}} - I have seen observing Gvaudoin's contributions over the past couple of years, and I have seen little to no reason to believe that she wouldn't be suitable for this role. So she has my support. ― <span style="font:bold 108% 'Constantia';">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="#800000">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font: 108% 'Adobe Garamond Pro';">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="#000000">talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="#000000">contribs</font>]])</span> 03:50, April 22, 2020 (UTC)
 
:{{Support}} - I have nothing but respect for the work Gvaudoin has done for the wiki. Whether it comes to uploading necessary media or creating articles on TS4 gallery Sims, Gvaudoin often does the work that is so essential to the wiki. I wholeheartedly support this nomination. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 11:29, April 30, 2020 (UTC)
 
::{{Support}} - From a quick look at Gvaudoin's contributions, it's clear that she has a good understanding of the game and the workings of the wiki. I think it would be beneficial for both her and the wiki if she had access to the rights, and has my trust and support. ~ [[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> 22:36, April 30, 2020 (UTC)

'''Resolution'''
 
Given unanimous support among those who have contributed to the discussion, it appears that this discussion has achieved consensus. The content moderator rights have been awarded. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</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>''' 04:44, May 17, 2020 (UTC)
