Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki:Requesting User Rights

This is the page where users can request user rights. If you feel you deserve user rights, and it will benefit the wiki, then you may place a request below. Please read the instructions carefully before requesting user rights.

Chat Mod Rights

 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have a strong history on this wiki. We don't accept people who have only edited a few times.
 * You must be a level five user.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.
 * Your Duties will be to maintain chat rules and policy. As you are not a rollback, you may not approve claims or vote on things meant for rbs+. However, the 1 month auto demotion still applies.

Rollback Rights

 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have a strong history on this wiki. We don't accept people who have only edited a few times.
 * You must be a level five user.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.
 * Upon running for Rollback, you must pick a department ahead of time, that has an opening and get permission from the Bcrat to join that department: Claiming Department, Human Resources, Research & Development, Support Services. Once you run, if you are successful, depending on which department you are in, you will perform the duties necessary in that department, and assist the Bcrat leading that department.

Administrator Rights

 * You must have rollback rights.
 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.

Once you run, if you are successful, depending on which department you are in, you will perform the duties necessary in that department, and assist the Bcrat leading that department. In a case of a bcrat going on vacation, you may be asked to cover running that department while they are gone.

Bureaucrat Rights

 * You must have administrator rights.
 * You should be a trusted member of the community.
 * You should have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, or rudeness.
 * The only way a bcrat spot will ever open up, is if one of the current 3 bcrats leaves, steps down or is demoted.

Nomination

 * 1) Choose to edit a section under "Requests" (either chat moderator, rollback, administrator, or bureaucrat).
 * 2) Add your name as a subheading like this: ===Your User Name===.
 * 3) Give a small statement of why you think you deserve the rights.

Voting
Users will then state whether the user deserves the rights or not. They will either agree, or disagree with the request. Only Rollbacks and up may vote on user rights.

Requests
Requests may be turned down simply because users with the rights are not needed. If your request is turned down, you can try again later when you have a stronger history, or when someone with the rights is needed.

Claiming Department
This department is primarily responsible for checking any and all claims: Camp claims, BC claims, Pet claims, and Quest or Mission claims. Members of this department are tasked with keeping claim pages up to date and organised. Helping users make claims and get started, as well as adding new users and/or characters to the Users & Characters Lists are some examples of the responsibilities that fall to the Claiming Department.

Human Resources
The Human Resources Department (HR) keeps the Users & Characters Lists up to date, as well as keep track of pages with issues and upkeep work such as categories, images, and organisation. Members of this department are also tasked with making sure that users level up the right way, as well as contacting users about their inactivity.

Research and Development
The Research and Development Department (R&D) is for the users who want to come up with ideas, plans, new projects, things to test, basically stuff that will keep the wiki moving forward. Members or this dept actively poll the wiki and talk to the users about what their needs and wishes are. This department is for users who want to help design things like templates or the main page; basically keeping the wiki looking nice. This is a good department for users who are either strong leaders or able to inspire users to get excited about things. They should also be proactive about getting work done. People in this department need to be able to get stuff done without being told or asked. They’d also be in charge of monitoring the ideas/suggestions board/forum.

Aid & Support Services
The Aid & Support Services Department (A&S) functions like the previous General Support. Members of this dept are tasked with helping users with anything they need such as guidance or direction. A&S also monitors the help and debate forums, as well as lend a hand to other departments that are low on help or have extra work.

When I first started here I was, to say the least, a spoiled brat who had never heard the word no before. That changed after I started figuring things out; that the world doesn't really work that way. People started telling me no I can't do that, no don't put that their or telling me ways I can improve. Honestly, I used to think myself as a perfect person, but the wiki and the people here have taught me that's not true at all. They helped me grow into the person I am now, and that's a darn good thing.

I've even, finally, started helping people code. I bet some people may have been surprised that I even knew what I was doing, because I never once told anyone I was even able to code, which may have helped someone out in the past, but like I mentioned before I used to be selfish. As of recent I've loved doing coding for others, and even helping them out with their personal matters. I know helping people out really doesn't carry much weight, but I did it because I wanted to. There's been a user whose even asked me to monitor chat for them when no other member of the administration team was available. This only happened, because people were arguing when the user, who happens to be on the admin team, had to leave chat. This has happened on multiple occasions, though the arguments usually diffused rather quickly since they had nothing to argue over. I’d also like to point out that I'm always in chat, because I simply have a lot down time and I love coming into chat to speak with others.

In recent months I have been passive aggressive with one user, but I decided, since 2 nights ago now, that I wasn't going to argue with them or even consider being mean to them. It doesn't help me gain anything nor does it help the person either. In matter of speaking I wanna be friends with them if the chance arises, which would be rather nice.

I also want to point out, please don't be biased when you vote. Only upvote me if you truly believe I deserve the position and not because I'm a friend. I don't want to win, because I have friends on the admin team. That's just simply not right in the least. If you honestly don't think I'm ready please downvote me and I'll try again when I am. Thank you for considering c:

Abstention (+6)

 * 1) Whilst I have no doubts you'd be effective at the role, your track record with Nat and your constant use of passive aggression in chat does make me not want to vote a yes, but neither does it make me want to vote a no. So I'll be abstaining until I can either make up my mind or something happens that solidifies a vote either way.
 * 2) Pardon the (over)dramatic cadence of this; I'm feeling very feels-y today and I've only been awake for six hours. I've been sitting here and mulling this decision over for some time. In fact, I tried to avoid this particular vote when I first saw it and I'm mentally facepalming at myself. Evasion will sooner or later lead to an inevitable confrontation. For once I can't pin all the blame on my chronic indecision — and I hate this fact. I hate that I was so close to subjectively voting yes, and I hate that it would be nothing short of a betrayal if I followed through with it. But I also hate the fact that I can't deny the tiny iota of doubt that's being endorsed by my cynicism. I hate that if I was going to vote objectively, it wasn't going to be a yes. So here's the painful, objective result.

 * 1) Sorry bro, I just don't feel like you're yet ready for the position of becoming a chat mod. You're definitely taking a step in the right direction - by acknowledging your past history here, and I would love for you to achieve rank someday. But I think you need a little more time to work things through, before you're fully ready to commit to being a chat mod. But don't let me discourage you. That's my personal opinion, and as you requested, I voted pretty objectively - otherwise I would've probably been tempted to vote in your favour. I just don't want to rush you into a position you're not ready for, or steer you wrong.

Sure it's a good opportunity to prove yourself.

In order for this vote to pass it will need two more votes in favour of Chase becoming a chat mod.

I just want to point out guys,that being a chat mod is literally the easiest position to demote. So you really are not taking that big of a "gamble" here. Eventually you will have to vote for either Nin or Chase so please instead of abstaining both of the votes forever,just vote for one or the other.Our Staff is already dying as it is.Thanks.

RPKingNin
Let me be completely honest with everyone who is reading this right now. I am running for this position because i am tired of watching from the sidelines as everything i have come to love about this wiki begins to decay and die. Explosions in chat because of misunderstandings, people leaving the wiki over feelings that shouldn't have been stepped on, everyone stressed leaving the wiki instead of being excited about RolePlaying. I have at times wanted to leave because of what i had seen but, being the man i am i refused. I continued and felt an even deeper connection to RolePlay and the people of the wiki with this bond the stress and fights i had seen became more and more frequent. The need to run away became a desire to stay and help and by running for a position i can finally do that, i can finally make a change. If i am voted down then i will run again and again because quitting is not something i do. I am Nin vote for me so i can make this a happier place to be.

Abstention (+6)

 * 1) I'm choosing to abstain: just under the circumstances of which the vote has been made. However, I personally am open to users taking a more active role on the wiki, so it's not a direct no from me.
 * 2) I'm with Scales here. Nin I know you can do this,so i will not vote No. You have a great heart,give me some time to consider my vote. Love you bro!

Comments
I just want to clarify that although I voted for Chase, I don't doubt that you would be a perfect chat mod Nin and if a position for mod ever happens again I definitely think you should run again.

I also voted for Chase, and while I agree that abstaining is sometimes the best case scenario, I do think that in the wiki's case, it's far from optimal. We should probably be a little more free and open to take risks and give people the opportunity to prove themselves considering dead the staff is

....I havent seen you in action so I'll reserve my judgement ...

Some of you knew that one day this would come and it finally has. Anywho, I'm running for one of the rollback spots in aid and support. So let's get to why you should vote for me. I've got like almost 3000 edits, been here for over a year now, I'm a helper, I'm extremely active and productive (when I need to be) and I'm always willing to help. Some people maybe thinking I'm to immature for this job or maybe even not be up for the job but I swear I'm always up for helping anybody (isn't that what aid and support does) even if I'm on that said person's bad side. So please vote for me and you won't regret it.

Against (+1)


BY====Comments==== Unfortunately, as of right now, I have to vote against. You're active, I'll give you that, and I won't deny that, but (I'm so sorry if this sounds harsh) to be fairly honest, your edits doesn't quite support your claim that you're productive (helper-wise that is). Although you have helper rights, during the time you've had it, I haven't seen you make much helper edits. While you have a start, I don't feel that your edit consistency is enough for rollback rights. That being said, I really hope that I didn't discourage you (and it isn't my intention to do so) and I don't doubt that you may make a good rollback in the future, but you have some work ahead of you! Good luck in reaching your goal! C:

James make more edits,and then I can vote for you. I will be waiting roughly a month to vote to give you a chance to prove yourself. I told June,the same thing when she ran the first time. Good luck man.

I think you have potential. I really do. However, right now I don't see much contributions from you, helper-wise. I can see that you could be of great help, unfortunately, as of the moment, I don't feel like you're there yet. Don't let this discourage you though. Just help out a lot more and in time you'll be able to prove yourself. Until then, I will be waiting.

In all honesty James I was close to nominating you cause I can see the potential as like what migs said but then at the same time its just "potential" and nothing more. I know I'm contradicting myself when I say this but until you can prove to us that your potential and desire can be more than just some words I'm abstaining..

Agree with the statements above, additional to the fact fhat most of your edits are rp edits (which is fine but those sre more personal edits)

Hi everyone!

So, I am Eternal Sterek and I am running for one of the open administrator spots in the Human Resources department. Why? Well I feel like I’ll be more help to the wiki if I have admin rights, and it actually makes my job easier (which is mostly HR stuff and involves a lot of archiving and deleting).

Of course I wouldn’t just run for rights out of the blue. Here are the reasons why I think I’m qualified to be an administrator:


 * 1) I’ve been very very active and consistent with my edits. Since the end of May, shortly after returning from a hiatus (school stuff), I’ve been doing dept. edits non-stop almost every day. I am currently in the middle of my third term of freshman year and I am really happy that so far, I've been able to balance college and the wiki.
 * 2) I’ve been doing a lot. This includes archiving all active roleplays in the forums that haven’t been edited in more than a month. There are roughly around 130 of these roleplays (including training roleplays) and I’ve archived them all in a span of two weeks. This was needed because the role-play forum was getting heavily cluttered with inactive role-plays and someone needed to archive them to maintain order and general upkeep.
 * 3) I have been updating the User/Chars forum for days now. I realise that while there are some who regularly update it, the things getting done only revolve levelling up users and updating the last edit/log in date. These are also important in updating but I feel like the importance of archiving and continually updating user activities (whether they’re Active, Semi-Active and Officially Inactive) have been almost fully neglected. With that being said, after a talk with Demi a few days ago, I have been thoroughly updating the User/Chars forum and covering all aspects that should be covered, which includes archiving tons of characters and removing users who have been inactive for more than 7 months from the forums. I’ve also made a list of users whose characters will soon be archived so that I have a future reference and I’ve also been messaging users about these changes (when they’re removed from the forums and when their characters are scheduled fro archiving).
 * 4) I have been an administrator multiple times in the past and I feel like I can really handle the workload. I also have a good grasp on how things on the wiki works and I guess you can say I have a strong history.

That’s pretty much it. I really do think I am qualified to be an admin and if I am given the rights, I feel like I’ll be able to work my full potential. Right now, updating the forums is about 60% complete and I will continue to do so until it’s done and update it at least every two weeks or so. Well, yeah. I really hope you guys consider. Thanks!!!

UPDATE: I've finished thoroughly updating the User/Chars forum. I'll update again in a few weeks. :D

Before I forget I want a written contract that says if you go on another haitus you will live in the closet of admin members doing edits for them.. ...and yes I want that in writing ...blood writing migs...

@Mel: Well, I wrote that much because I felt like I needed to stress what I was able to accomplish and to at least provide transparency and proof to my claims. Is that a bad thing? Because tbh I'm not sure what you're curious about and why. Also, for your other comment, I'm not really sure what you mean. Lol.
