Operator Requests

Jaws Redfield for Op

I'm applying for Low Level op. I've been on #Halopedia for A little over a year, not including a few months break. I follow the rules well enough, and I have some experience as Op in other channels. I also have a sense of humour and know where a Joke stops being a Joke. I've also been an op on Halopedia before, but had it removed due to my absence of the few months period, but during my time as op I was fair but knew when to stop something before it went horrible wrong and turned into a massive flame war. These are the reasons why I feel I am qualified to be an Op. I go by the name Syd_Barrett on the irc, and usually on between 8am GMT- 1am GMT.

Oppose I don't think he has it in him, to be an op. File:600px-Dharma Wheel.svg.pngChakravartin ^{My Wheel Shall Turn} 15:24, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

• Support - Well, if you were an op beforehand, then I don't see why not. You've never shown any immature behavior or anything like that. You have my vote. - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 19:57, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
• Support - Mature user. Smoke^{Sound off!} 22:36, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
• Support - As per Smokey the Bear. User:CommanderTony/Sig
• Support - Per above. And lol CT. - File:Major.png Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 11:13, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I too am somewhat concerned about her recent activity levels, I'm holding off voting for now. Sorry Syd. - File:Major.png Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 08:02, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

• Neutral - needs to become more active. ~tia (VGC)
• Oppose - As per tia. Most likely will be inactive after two-three weeks of obtaining op, I bet.. Sketch^ist 00:52, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Chakravartin for op!

I've matured massively since my last stint as an op; realised that I shouldn't get worked up over trivial things, etc etc. All in all, I've a good rapport with the IRC Community, and I think I'd be a good op!

• Neutral -- To be honest, I don't really know what to say, if anything. I don't have anything against you regaining op access at this time (you've summed it up quite well in that sentence), but the levels of spamming/trolling in the channel have been virtually zero since last spring. Given that the channel size hasn't changed much either, the need for additional ops at the moment is pretty much null. That said, out of all requests this one is definitely worth considering should the need arise in the near future. For now I'm going to sit back and see what others think. - File:Major.png Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 15:14, 18 January 2011 (EST)

SPARTAN-118's request for Operator flags (approved)

Quite simply, there is a need on #Halopedia for active IRC operators - we often lack administrators throughout the day, leaving the channel open for...unwanted occurances. I have an outstanding track record for activity on #Halopedia, and a capable operator (as proved in the ODSTSS idiocy on #Halo-fanon). I am competent with IRC commands, and a well respected user within the Halo wikia community. SPARTAN-118 13:48, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

• Support - He's become a quite mature, especially since being handed his new role on Halo Nation. I'd like to correct him here, though - the problem isn't that we're constantly offline - we're just not alerted (we've been attacked at least twice while I've been on the computer - perhaps the /msg feature could be used to alert us).-- Forerunner 16:45, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
• Weak Support - What Forerunner said, familiar with policies, good reputation. Although so, we don't particularly have a (real) need for more ops, although looking at the fact that there are 2 or 3 on the list that are inactive, I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to have them replaced. That said, the channel's activity and size has somewhat dropped over the past few months which means that the workload and needed number of ops is less. I'd like to wait until more users/admins give input before I grant anything. - File:Major.png Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 03:05, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
• Support - (Sorry if you do not know me, but I edit at CoD wiki and am on IRC on #Halopedia) S-118 or [Leo], from my pont of view, is a very mature, responsible, very active 'user.' I think he would handle the responsibilities of an Operator and be a great asset to the IRC channel. He has truly shown that he is ready to be an Op. --Sp3c^Sprechen 01:15, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

Ultra Force's request for Operator

With SPARTAN-118 currently in New Zealand, his activity dropped significantly due to lack of Internet. I would like to take his place as Op and guard the channel. I promise I will be active with at least 3 hours of activity almost everyday.

Discussion

Does anyone else think that op requests have gotten a liiiittle bit out of hand? Although the requests have slowed, I still think that people should really consider the responsibilities of being an operator. Sounds silly, yes, but there are responsibilities on a chat. First, someone who has rights to operate should be somewhat mature, but still act human. It would be hard to take someone seriously if they were trolling or spamming all the time. OR just acting out of hand, period. Second, an op should know that they have to be active. What's the point of having operator rights if you rarely come on and use them once or twice? Well these two points/obligations would be what I think an op should have. Maybe the guidelines have been ignored just a smidge? ~tia (VGC)

Syd will most likely do be inactive after two-three weeks after getting op. He did it last time and that just shows irresponsibility.Sketch^ist 00:54, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
