IRC Op	Open to requests.

IRC Op requests are almost always open on The Sims Wiki.

Minimum requirements

If you feel that you are a valuable member of the IRC channel and you think you would benefit from channel operator flags, this is where to apply. The minimum requirements are:

• Fair knowledge of operating an IRC channel.
• 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 IRC op.

• A record of civil behavior

• If you're constantly being told not to mess around then you're not ready for this.

Stage 1: Nominating

1. Users may nominate themselves or be nominated by another user for IRC op flags. The nominee then has to accept the nomination before voting can begin.
2. Multiple requests at one time are allowed.
3. Op candidates that are not given any additional privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month.

Stage 2: Voting

1. Users may support, be neutral toward, or oppose the nomination. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
2. Users must be active in the IRC channel in order to vote.
3. Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
4. A bureaucrat will then determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that IRC op requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.
5. Admins and bureaucrats may nominate and/or vote on a nomination. However, a bureaucrat who votes on a nomination and later reviews the nomination must review according to the vote result, not their personal opinion of the nominee.
6. Votes may be closed early if it is obvious that consensus against it will not be reached. (e.g. 6+ support and 0 oppose)

What you will do as an IRC chanop

• Protect the channel from disruptive behavior by warning, quieting, kicking and/or banning disruptive individuals.

What you may not do as an IRC chanop

• Use your operator privileges to take advantage of users or to control the channel.
• Ignore the needs and wants of IRC users.
• Abuse rights by using them incorrectly, for personal reasons or against non-disruptive users.
• Use the privileges unneccesarily. For example giving out voice to users when the channel isn't muted.
