SilverPlays97 (Chat Moderator) SilverPlays97 (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I am ready for the position of a chat moderator here on SNN. Since MetalShadow272 has been demoted and we have a good amount of mods inactive/partially active, we need another one.

I try to get on the chat whenever I am available to do so online. When a chat mod or an admin is not on the chat, I will, if available, be on to make sure users are behaving. I have a respectable attitude to all users here on SNN. I rarely curse, and when I believe I offended a user, or if a user asks for an apology, I do. I have looked over the rules of the chat many times and understand it like the name of my signature template. As a chat moderator I will further prove my appropriate behavior and set an example to other chat mods and users of this fine wiki.

Support

 * 1) With half of our current chat moderators inactive, one partially active, and one recently demoted, I don't think it would hurt to gain a new one. Silver is a frequent user of SNN's chat and keeps an observant eye over it. He is very respectful and polite to others and, as far as I know, has always followed the chat policies. I support. 11:53, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't see any problem with having Silver nominated. He's certainly confident and well-behaved enough to take on this role, and let's not forget his responsibility with how he edits and whatnot. 12:54, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) Per above. Good luck. 13:20, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Yeah, think we need a new active chat moderator. You're ready. -- Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here   13:50, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) No reason to oppose, I support. Pacmansonic138 (talk) 16:55, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Solace and Sacor. Silver is a responsible and mature user, and I believe he is very well suited for the role. 19:50, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) I support. Silver is a good and mature friend and indirectly helped me settle into not just the wiki but Wikia in general, mostly during chat. I have not been here long but I have never seen Silver do anything against the policies or rules. I could not think of a better person to run for Chat Moderator as a replacement for Metal.

 * 4) I support, per Phys and Solace. Many mods are inactive/partally active, one recently demoted. You are one of the best canidates for the job. 1:53, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) Although I have not been on SNN as a registered user for long (a couple of weeks) I have been on unregistered for quite some time and while I have not quite yet reached my required editcount for chat he seems well-behaved enough for this promotion. Psyche the Hedgehog 1997 My talk
 * 6) You have my full support! I think he's ready for this kind of job and he's pretty active. So you're fit for a moderator. Per Sacor. 16:58, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) Per Solace --Kenny2013 18:53, March 19, 2013 (UTC)Kenny9277
 * 8) Despite the fact I'm taking a hiatus from editing, I couldn't help see Silver put up this nomination. I've seen Silver grow up into a fantastic user and I believe he's ready for this promotion. You, sir, have my full support. 21:05, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED

Oppose

 * 1) Sorry no offense Silver, I don't think you should be chat mod. You are never on chat offten (I say like once to 4 times a month). You also just signed up for rollback didn't you? If you just got one user right i don't think you should get a higher one 1-3 months later (this goes for everybody not just you). sorry but that is just how i think and i mean no offense to you.
 * 2) To be honest, I am not confident in your abilities to moderate the chat. I think you are a tad immature for this position. I also like the chat moderator team we currently have. We don't need seven chat moderators anymore, there isn't much rule-breaking on chat. We have enough chat moderators. Besides, if another user were to be promoted, I had two others in mind. I'm sorry, but I do not think you are ready just yet. --- 02:36, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) No. Although Silver is fairly mature on chat for a chat mod, I feel like there are enough chat moderators on chat regularly as it is, and there is no need for more, especially since very little trouble occurs on chat. And it rather seems to soon since we have just demoted another chat moderator. 13:27, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) No. I believe that it's too soon for you to be running for chat mod, since we just had a demotion. (Ohmygod123 (talk) 01:08, March 19, 2013 (UTC))
 * 5) I would say neutral, but that's more or less just opposing. 21:21, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

 * @Shadowunleashed13: You meant to say "Solace" rather than "Silver", right? 22:01, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Yeah, I did. 22:27, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Since I haven't been attending the chat often recently and haven't acquired much first-person perspective on SilverPlays97's abilities and behavior, I'm afraid that I'll have to remain neutral for the time being. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  22:02, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * ^Per Gen. I haven't seen enough of your actions to decide. Time Biter  "The Rift"  22:05, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gen and Biter> Neutral voting has been removed from the process. Please restate your opinions in either the support or oppose sections of this nomination, otherwise your votes won't count. You can also choose not to vote if you don't wish to support or oppose. 22:33, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * They're not voting neutral; they're just saying they're not really in a position to vote. 22:34, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. They're neither supporting nor opposing (their reasons are not valid enough to oppose), they are just stating that they can't vote. 22:37, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gen clearly stated that he would remain neutral. Sounds like a neutral vote to me, so I pointed it out. 22:39, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't believe there is a neutral section, how would a neutral option work anyway?  Myself  123  03:04, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Voting "Neutral" is stating your opinion on the user and concluding that the user is or is not qualified, but then choosing to put it in the discussion rather than vote one way or the other. If you want examples, look at my recently closed administrator nomination. A bunch of people did that. DF, the reason Gen and Biter weren't really "voting neutral" is because neither expressed their opinion on whether Silver should be chat mod. 13:14, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think he gets it now... 17:54, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * @Splash There's nothing wrong with getting your Chat Mod rights after rollback. I got both Rollback and chat mod the same day XP. --- 02:39, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * @Splash: Silver is on chat way more frequently than 1-4 times a month...more like almost every day. 13:21, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not until this week
 * Actually, he's been on chat frequently for as long as I can remember except when he's taking a break from the wiki or camping for the weekend. 14:20, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * @Spyro: Or you could simply not vote. You have the right to vote, but you do not necessarily have to use that right if you don't have an opinion on the promotion. Of course it's up to you how you use this right.  Myself  123  23:15, March 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * @Unleashed: Silver went to South Carolina or North, not sure which. So he won't be online for the weekend... 13:39, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Conclusion
Yes - Consensus seems to be in favor of having you promoted to Chat Moderator status. Congratulations. This discussion will be removed shortly. 16:40, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
