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.
 * Upon running for Administrator, you must pick a department ahead of time, that has an opening: 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. 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.

James
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 claiming. 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.

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)

I know I stated I would wait roughly a month to vote,but after further consideration I will be voting no. Do not feel discouraged ,its just the fact you need to dramatically step up your department editing. Before I was even considered a candidate for Rollback Demi and Mel both made me make over 5,000 department edits (so not counting rp edits) to prove myself. I'm not saying you have to go out and make absurd amounts of edits like I did,but you need to have a consistent pattern of edits. Aid and Support still has to meet edit Quotas just like everyone else. Good luck!

I agree with Suit. Sorry.

(idk if chat mods are allowed to vote here but if not just lmk and I'll remove it ^^') This vote's been up for a while, so I'm not sure if my contribution is still eligible, but honestly, James has been one of the most consistently active users on the wiki for the past two months. He's been helping out in claiming, which is a department where we desperately need more active users, and he's been editing more than most of the current admin team. All of our lives are very busy right now, so I totally understand why we haven't been editing as much as usual. But that's why I feel that, at this point, James should at least get a chance to pick up the responsibility of being an RB. He has the ability to spend time helping out here, so why not let him? :) 14:17, September 10, 2016 (UTC)

EDIT: Whoops, just realized only RBs and up can vote! Sorry about that D: But what I said about James still applies. Don't give up, Jam Man!

Ive changed from A&S to claiming because I think I would be more helpful there then A&S

I've changed my vote. I'm willing to give him a chance.

In all honesty before I want to vote for this tell me did you take the helper test to pass for claim checking?

Chances are he'd be a great help, especially now, like srsly.

Natalia
HR Hey guys! So, I don't really know what to say, but here we go. I've been here for three years. I know a ton of stuff. I'm always willing to help out. Edits don't really count, but I've done done a lot of categorizing and helped keep up the User/Character forum. I've put out a few ideas to an admin or two, and I know I can do this.

With the decline of the wiki, we need people on the admin team. Sterek is there to help me when I need him. Please at least give me a chance.

For (+3)

 * 1) I was going to talk to migs about this first but, seeing as he already voted yes i'll trust him and give you a chance.

Against (+4)

 * 1) Recent events must be taken into account. I'm sorry.


 * 1) Nat keeps asking me to vote so I decided to inform myself before voting. Unfortunately the results weren't good 23:26, September 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm going to be blunt here. I don't like the idea of someone who dismissively responds to admins and RBs about their area of expertise becoming a rollback. I don't like your approach to things. Not one bit.
 * 3) Given recent events, this is the best option

Abstain

 * 1) (read comment)

Im not voting on this as,I have resigned from the Wiki until further notice,but I will say Natalia has spent nearly two years working on becoming a member of our staff. She was trying to get a staff position since before I was actually a member here. In all honesty give the kid a break,and give her a chance. Anyways, love you guys,ill be back in six-eight months.

Like Suit said, Nat's been working towards getting an admin team position since before I even made a Wikia account! She's had her ups and downs over those many years, but she's been working so hard and helping out so much ever since she's gotten back. And crap I just realized that, once again, I'm a mod and can't actually vote on this, so I'll have to take my earlier vote down, but just know that if I were able to, I'd definitely be voting for Nat to get a chance at RB!

20:26, September 12, 2016 (UTC)

Ok personally I never wanted to vote for this but I guess sometimes you have to. On one side I do see the appeal of nat becoming an RB as she have been helping the wiki a lot and considering we DO need her help. Yet on the other side of the argument its nat. We all had ... a little beef in the past with her one time or another (Yeah I know its the past and I should NEVER judge a people because of what happen in the past) thus one of the reason why I'm abstaining. I haven't seen her 'change' so I don't want to judge anyone from just the words I hear. Another reason why I'm abstaining is practically the same reason why everyone is just going on board with nat in the first place. She's editing. Which I think is good and all but my question to her is will she continue editing even AFTER getting her star? Cause we here in camp have a good amount of users whom ... you can say 'stop' after getting what they 'want'. (not gonna name names here but if you felt the burn I'm sorry but this is the truth you either ignore it or face it). The truth hurts but we all know the 'handful' of users that ACTUALLY keeps this place alive by just making sure everything running smoothly and there's this other ban where... they just don't so am I gonna take my chance and vote yes on the mere fact she's editing? no. I'm sorry. My last reason to why I'm abstaining is very personal but I'm not gonna say that here cause its personal. Anyhow let me just close up this rant with a very key fact I've been "away" from the wiki long enough to ask you guys on whether do I even have a right to abstain? cause I don't think I do...peace out~

This needs 2 more votes "for" to pass.

UPDATE: I'm sorry but recent events must be taken into account. For now, I vote against. I might change my mind in the future, still.

Additionally I would like to ask that Nat read all of the policies again and ask a supervisor (aka Migs) whether doing something very very drastic is a-okay

Clay
Hello, hello, hello! My name is Clay, I’ve been a member of the wiki since 2012, left in 2014 but came back after a year. I just couldn’t stay away - not after all the friends I made. Not the point. The reason why I run for rollback is that I’ve been helping a lot around the wiki and been focusing on helping towards the wiki and helping new users that come along the way. I’m also extremely active and on chat most of the time, but I’d love to do more than just help. I’d like to go into the Research & Development department and help with the ideas any users would like to suggest. Please take some time to consider your vote. But, if you feel I’m not ready for this position, it’s perfectly understandable. Thank you for reading.

Heyo Clay-doh! I'm so glad to hear that you kicked anxiety in the face and ran for RB today!!!!! You've been on here since forever (you senior citizen xD) and are qualified beyond words for this position (seriously like when I got to this wiki I thought you were an admin who just didn't have a star or smth) I can't vote on this page, but I'm absolutely gonna vote for you in spirit instead! <3 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 05:21, October 1, 2016 (UTC)

Miggy
Hey, so it’s me, Miggy, and I am requesting for b-crat rights.

It’s been a while since Brocky had a co-crat, not since Demi stepped down earlier this year, and I really feel like it’s about time someone else fills the spot, which is why I am running for the Head of the Human Resources department.

For a long time, I’ve been the main person who was in charge of the Users/Chars Forum, and since the end of May, I’ve been wholly updating it, archiving characters left and right, messaging users about inactivity and I’ve singlehandedly cleared out the roleplay forums of old RPs that needed to be archived.

Recently, I had help from Nat in updating the User/Chars Forum, and I also collabed with Hyu in updating the lists for Animal Nymphs, Erotiads, Mortiads and the Priests and Priestesses List.

I’ve also been really active, and I still am, as I continue to update things that needs to be updated and to make sure users are being levelled up properly, as well as archiving characters. I was semi-active on August, but that was because of finals, and now I’m back and ready to help again. I am also responsible for putting up the New Model Policy. I organised one big to-do list for the HR Department as well, and I’m sure it’ll be helpful for general upkeep work and things that need to be done.

(If you need proof of all the things I’ve done, check my contribs, everything is there)

I’ve been here since 2012, and I have been rollback and admin multiple times in the past. I’ve left a couple of times, but that was because of life stuff, and I’ve never had a demotion vote against me. I am very familiar with how this wiki works, and I have a clear grasp on how to do department related things, so yes, I think I will be able to handle the crat workload. I do think I am always helpful to users in need, whenever in chat or when they IM me. I guess you can say I have a strong history and I do think I am a trusted member of the community. I have no history of vandalism, sock-puppetry, godmodding and rudeness.

That’s all I want to say, and I understand if some feel like they need to vote against me. But please, hear me out, I am ready for this, and I know that I will be of great help. I will do my best, and I will properly lead the Human Resources Department. I will give my helping hand to Brocky whenever he needs me, and I’ll make sure I’ll do all my duties and my responsibilities. Also, it’s been my dream for like, the longest time. Please give me a chance to show you.

I am thankful for your kind consideration.

Sincerely,

For (+4)

 * 1) I've seen you do wonderfully in the past, I hope you can continue that once you (hopefully) become bcrat.

Whenever I check the "Recent changes" page, you and Nat are the most active wiki maintenance editors, and you've put an especially huge amount of work into HR this past month. Unfortunately, I can't vote here, but I fully support ya on your quest to become a b-crat! c: 21:09, September 29, 2016 (UTC)
