==Requests for content moderation==
If you feel that you would make a good fit for [[The Sims Wiki:Moderators#Content moderator|Content Moderatorship]], or you feel that another user on the wiki would make a good fit, please put your application/nomination below. Please make sure that you/your nominee meet the minimum requirements before submitting an application/nomination.
===Minimum requirements===
In order to apply for Content Moderator rights, or to be nominated, a user must:
* Be a registered member of The Sims Wiki for at least three months
* Be an active wiki editor in the content namespaces (the main namespace, game guides namespace, and/or the fanon namespace)
* Show an understanding of basic wiki editing, and at least some experience with more in-depth/technical aspects such as category or template usage
===Procedure for Applications and Nominations===
====Step One - Applications or nominations====
Any user who meets the minimum requirements may apply for Content Moderator rights. Applicants should add their application, including a signature, to the "Current requests" section below.
Any registered user on The Sims Wiki may nominate an eligible user for Content Moderator rights. Users nominating another user should explain why the nominee is a good fit for the role, and must include the nominating user's signature. Nominations should be added to the "Nominations" section below.
A nominee must accept a nomination on the "Requests for Moderatorship" page before it can be considered. If a nomination is accepted by the nominee and the nominee is eligible for the role, the nomination will be moved to "current requests" and will be processed in the same manner as self-applications. Nominees may decline any nomination for any reason they choose; nominees who decline nominations may be re-nominated or may apply for the position at any time in the future.
In their application, or when responding to a nomination, the applicant/nominee ("Candidate") should explain why they want and would be a good fit for the role, and must include the candidate's signature.
====Step Two - Discussion====
The period of discussion on a Content Moderator promotion should last at least seven (7) days. Discussions can be ended early by an [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators|administrator or bureaucrat]] if the candidate is found to be ineligible, if the candidate requests it, or if the application has {{WP|WP:SNOWBALL|no chance of succeeding}} due to opposition. Multiple Content Moderator discussions may be conducted simultaneously, but each discussion should focus on only one candidate.
Discussions should be focused on determining whether a candidate is a good fit for the position. Any registered member of The Sims Wiki may participate in user promotion discussions. Users are encouraged to keep an open mind about all candidates and to ask questions. Users should avoid sweeping praise or generalizations about a candidate (e.g. "he she deserves/it" or "he/she is a good editor), but should instead focus on specific positives or negatives and specific reasons why a candidate should or should not be promoted. Discussion participants are expected to remain civil and polite, especially when speaking critically of a candidate. The candidate is encouraged to participate in the discussion, especially to answer questions or address any issues regarding their candidacy. All discussion posts must be signed.
====Step Three - Resolution====
If, after seven days of discussion, there appears to be consensus in favor of promotion, the candidate will be promoted. If there is no clear consensus in favor of the promotion, the discussion will end and the candidate will not be promoted. In cases where a candidate is not successful in obtaining Content Moderator rights, the candidate may re-apply or be nominated again at any point in the future; however, candidates who do not achieve promotion should address the specific issue(s) brought up during the discussion before re-applying. If a user repeatedly applies for Content Moderator rights despite multiple failed applications, and the user shows no or few attempts to correct the issue(s) that led to their earlier failures, they may be [[TSW:ER|restricted]] from making further applications for a period of time, as determined by the administrators.
