Hello everyone, I’m Nathan—also known as Nathanthehazingdaze007—and I’m proposing to become a discussion moderator for Sonic Wiki Zone. As a moderator, I’d be able to lock, delete, edit, or restore comments and posts, helping maintain the quality and respectfulness of discussions. After reflecting on my previous proposals, I’ve made it a point to contribute more actively and maintain a polite and helpful presence in the community.
With the self-demotion of AlternateV and the increasing inactivity of Chardonnay Bloo, I feel it’s important to step up and assist with moderation. I always double-check my posts to ensure they stay respectful and avoid promoting any unnecessary conflict. I also regularly consult with current moderators like Mystic Monkey to ensure my contributions align with the community’s guidelines.
I’m particularly active during the day (6 AM to 9 PM), and during this time, I’ve been able to address rule-breaking posts that might otherwise go unnoticed. Additionally, I’ve participated in discussions about new ideas for the wiki, such as proposals for new rules and user rights. I understand the responsibilities that come with being a moderator and am fully prepared to contribute positively to the community.
My approach to moderation focuses on fostering a respectful and constructive environment. If someone is unsure whether their post breaks the rules, I’m always happy to provide guidance. In cases of minor disruptions, like rage-baiting, I believe in calmly encouraging users to avoid negativity, while enforcing the rules without coming across as overly strict or unapproachable.
Some examples of my contributions that demonstrate I’d be a great candidate for this role include:
Learning to Respect and engage with different opinions thoughtfully(1)
Helping others understand various points of view while keeping the conversation respectful.(2
Using available tools to prevent and de-escalate unnecessary drama.(3
Ensuring posts comply with community guidelines (4)
Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal. Please feel free to cast your votes—whether in support, neutral, or opposition—in the comments.
