Chat moderator	Open to requests.

Chat moderator requests are almost always open on The Sims Wiki.

Minimum requirements

If you feel that you are a valuable member of 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 "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.

I Wish To Be A Moderator Of The Wiki Chat Room. I Am Volunteering To Help Because I Feel I Am Good At It. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eminem Fan 007 (talk • contribs)

Discussion

While these aren't related to Chat directly, they do raise concerns. You've abused the Steam group by spamming invites, for which you have been banned for, and just today you've used a fairly hostile user summary over your dismay of the talk page system. It leads me to question whether or not you can be trusted with tools that are actually quite powerful considering their scope plus, and I'm not jumping to conclusions here, the talk page thing makes me feel like you take things a bit too much to heart. While I can understand that you're only human and everybody can go through that, it doesn't look good when it happens on repeated occasions for the exact same thing. With this in mind, I really cannot support your request right now. Maybe if you do show that you can keep a level head and act constructively for the wiki, both on and off-site then I'll reconsider.

"I Am Volunteering To Help Because I Feel I Am Good At It" is not a reasonable request to make. You can feel like "You will be good at something" but until you actually get your feet wet and acknowledge what you will soon be responsible for, you probably won't get very far. Think of requests as a job application - you need to highlight and provide past experiences and any historical records your employers might be interested in, kinda like a résumé. For example, see my request for rollback permission on Wikipedia, and look at all the other requests. They state their past experiences and mention how the rollback rights would benefit them. I do not have bureaucrat rights on this wiki, but if I was one, I would unfortunately decline your request.

This user doesn't have any good history throughout the wiki. He hasn't proven if he has any reliability to hold such rights. Therefore, I'm opposing the request. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:42, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

You've already been banned once for flaming, you are always hostile, and only on once every 2 weeks. No way should we give you Chat Mod rights at this current time. GAHSIcepick (talk) 17:17, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

Resolution

As consensus is unfavourable, Eminem Fan 007 will not receive chat moderator rights at this time. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 20:16, January 3, 2014 (UTC)
