Fly the Fox (Chat Moderator) Fly the Fox (talk) Contributions Editcount

I, Fly the Fox, nominate myself for chat mod. I'm usually cool under pressure, and usually on chat most of the time. I edit the wiki regularly now. I could use the chat moderator rights to mine and the wiki's advantage, and I could use the rights to help solve arguments. Thank you. --{{FlySig}}23:37, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Absolutely: I support. Fly is a very mature young man. I've known him and have been close to him since I joined back in February of 2012. I've seen him grow, and he's always been very close to me throughout this all. Fly has been on chat for 12 hours a day everyday since his return to the wiki. Now, I don't have much to say about him but that I have the most upmost respect for him. I know what he's gone through, and he has matured while still maintaining his personality and spirit. Something very rare in today's society. On the wiki, he's been just the same. Fly's been dealing with arguments and issues a lot recently, and a promotion seems to be overdue. -- 06:03, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Yes, he has been very mature on chat, and he deserves these rights.  I like Hatsune Miku.   Problem?  06:05, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Per Bullet. Good luck. 06:09, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Fly has been on the chat a lot recently, and has shown himself to be very mature. I support. Lightning   the   Hedgehog
 * 5) Fly seems pretty level from what I've seen. A bit rambunctious at times, particularly regarding MLP, but honestly... it's really no different from the behavior I've seen on IRC from other people. Chats tend to be a bit more looser, and oftentimes, we feel freer to act silly. I see no problem with acting silly. As long as one maintains a civil attitude when conflict arises, then who cares if one also feels like doing a bit of harmless trolling on the channel? As long as it doesn't devolve into personal attacks and the individual can remain in control, then nothing wrong with having a bit of fun. It's like when I'll post an image of an insect or spider on IRC; I know that no one but me likes bugs and spiders. I know that almost everyone on the channel is wary about them. However, I admit that I get a laugh when I see a "KILL IT WITH FIRE!" response to an image that is clearly labeled as depicting an insect. :P It's harmless.

 * 6) I'm changing my mind.I'm supporting (I only put that message in the discussion cause I was having a bad day at school). Fly diserves to be a chatmod. [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] Will   Rose  [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] 08:13, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) I'll support. 10:27, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) I think you're ready for Chat Mod. 15:00, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) Yes, you have shown that you could be a good mod. We all  have our own   styles we   won't change  15:22, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 10) Yes: Per Bullet 15:27, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 11) I certainly hope you'll do well if granted Chat Mod rights. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  20:41, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

 * @CC That isn't a reason, and this isn't a joke. -- 06:54, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Meh. Nothing's anything these days. -CariconCommander (talk) 06:58, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * @CC: I agree with Bullet on this one. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  06:57, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Per Kyle. Lightning   the   Hedgehog


 * Should we remove his comment then unless he provides a better reason? -- 07:00, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know. You do go on chat for a long time. But you do be rude at times at least when I'm on. As you keep telling me to watch MLP even though I'm not interested with it or interested in watching the show.

 * That's on Skype, Skype has nothing to do with SNN Chat. -- 07:04, July 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Gen, why do you want to see him get rollback before he becomes a chat mod? The two roles are completely distinct. -- Supermorff (talk) 19:45, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just thought that's normally a common reason to oppose certain nominations around here? We let Users climb from the bottom of the barrel in order to show that they'd do well in the lower ranks before some of us even consider letting them go for the higher ranks? Is it a problem for me to do this? Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  20:23, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * SpyroSonic2000, Mariosonic15, SandrathePorcupine, The Shadow of Darkness, FreeSmudger, and MetalShadow272 were all promoted to Chat Mod before rollback. -- 20:27, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Gen, you can vote however you like for whatever reason you like, but these aren't "ranks" and they aren't in a hierarchy. Chat mod is a completely different role with a different set of necessary skills to rollback. However, admins do have all the privileges related to both roles and should be expected to have the necessary skills of both, so it makes more sense to me to say "Use rollback/chat mod before being an admin". -- Supermorff (talk) 20:32, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to imply anything relating to a hierarchy. I just used the word "rank" because it was easier to write than "Rollback/Chat Mod Rights/Privileges". I also realize the difference between a Chat Mod and Rollback's powers, so I can assure you that you don't need to remind me. And Bullet makes a point, so I guess I'll reconsider my vote. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  20:38, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I seemed a little condescending and I honestly don't mind how you vote. -- Supermorff (talk) 20:49, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's alright, I know you didn't intend any harm by it. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  20:56, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Conclusion
Yes - Consensus is clearly in favor of your nomination request for Chat Moderator rights. Congratulations! This discussion will be removed shortly. 00:30, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
