GeekyEverAfter (Chat moderator) GeekyEverAfter (talk): Contributions Edit Count

A former mod, Geeky has been sticking around in the morning hours to help look after the chat. During his time as a mod, he has regularly taken my place when I’m not here, for he is here earlier than I am. Because of this, I’m confident that he deserves to have his rights back, as he has proven himself to be mature, friendly, and devoted to look after the chat. He appears to still have a good enough reputation to be trusted with such rights. {{User:Sesn/Signature}}

I approve of this nomination. GeekyEverAfter (talk) 00:01, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) I see no harm in re-promoting a rather capable user. 14:21, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) I think this would be great to have Geeky back. I really noticed how he is mature when he needs to be. Another thing is that we would need a new mod when it's the night hours of the Western Hempishere. --HiddenChaos Learn from the past to enjoy the present to Decide our Future 14:38, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

 * 4) A moderator is needed at morning times, whenever there is no mod on; and Geeky fits as the best candidate. His ban doesn't apply as it was unjust to me and even still, slips happen. --Pandoo (talk) 16:48, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) --kraz
 * 6) i strongly support Geeky getting re-promoted.
 * 7) As stated before, Geeky is the best candidate if we're looking for a moderator in the morning hours. He has experience with the rights and has proven to be a capable moderator when he had them. Even if he had one, very minor ban, it doesn't change the fact that he's a good, trustworthy user that the chat would benefit from having.

 * 9) No comment necessary. This user, despite having a ban not too long ago, can use these rights for the greater good. - 18:54, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

 * 14) Mature and discerning from what I've seen in chat. Geeky would make a good moderator, regardless of any recent ban. 14:11, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * 15) Support -Uhoh
 * 16) reason behind my support is below.  02:57, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * 17) Despite for the fact he did learned his lesson, he does remain trustworth about him. So I'll let him continue his job.  8:12 PM, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Per Dude 16:12, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) We shouldn't promote people who've been banned recently, it'd almost seem like we're rewarding people who break the rules. -GraveEclipse567
 * 3) -- 00:19, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose, eZ. ---
 * 5) Dude said pretty much what I was going to say, so I oppose as well. Uxiea  "Let's just say screw it."  16:17, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Gonna have to go with Grave with this one. 23:38:47 21 Jan 2015 (UTC)

Discussion
"it's up to you and your community - do you trust the user with those rights? Is the local community okay with the idea?" Althrough I don't support the fact that Geeky should have his rights back - partially because of the redundancy of the chat moderating group and the claim of mods up at night, I'll support otherwise because he stays up late and the backing of many SNN users. There's nothing I can do at this point forward without being rudely accused of something. I give up. 02:57, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * @Pandoo: It doesn't matter if the user is online during morning hours. If a user was banned from the SNN for breaking one of the rules from the policy and then being promoted, that's completely unjust. You can't promote a recently-banned user for chat moderator, that's not how promoting works. 16:58, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, to me, it does matter, and to me, his ban wasn't justified. Taking his ban in account, which was minor ignores the fact he was already a mod before. I can't recall any such rule you are trying to state. --Pandoo (talk) 17:02, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Geeky was not a mod when he was banned. Secondly, the ban was just, this can explain. Lastly, I believe it's just common Wikia sense not to promote a recently banned user, regardless of what the user can do, so yeah. 17:13, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Dude, I believe you're ignoring the events surrounding Disco Duck's promotion. He got even got promoted EXCLUSIVELY because he stayed up late. At least Geeky's proved himself capable before. PKMNthehedgehog2.5 (talk) 06:32, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * How did I ignore events? I wasn't even involved. I've seen many promotions where users would be online during the morning hours, especially Flame's promotion and Sesn's promotion. And another thing, DiscoDuck was last banned in 2011 before getting his mod rights in 2014. I don't get how DiscoDuck's promotion is even relevant to this, PKMN. 07:01, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * Woah, someone said my name! I believe I was promoted for both being able at a timezone, and being a good candidate for it, as well. And like Dude said, I'mma good boy now ;-; --Disco Diva 07:10, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * Woah whoa woah, I must've heard of totally different events. lol Sry. but the point still stands that Geeky's a good person and just because he was banned (Which, btw, pretty sure there's not enough grounds to have done so in the first place) doesn't mean he wouldn't be of use. He stays up later than almost any other user here, and he's a very decent person. Please don't use the ban as your only valid excuse to not support Geeky. PKMNthehedgehog2.5 (talk) 00:29, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Contacted Wikia, their reply:
 * Neutral. i think geeky is a great guy and a great friend who is aware of maturity and rules but im no judge to whether his ban was justified or not so ill be neutral --Realalala (talk) 07:37, January 24, 2015 (UTC)
