Request for Low-level Op on IRC

I, Spirit-of-HALO, would like to request for Low-Op on #halopedia. Pertaining to Grievous's reason, I'm usually there when there is no one Opped. I would like to better the IRC channel by, at least, keeping order and helping other users. I have asked RelentlessRecusant on this term and said he would discuss with me. Thank-you for your time.

Oppose I'm sorry. I know you try your hardest and I see that, but IRC is a medium where communication is absolutely a must for moderation - some phrases that seem offensive might not be, sarcasm may, at times, be difficult to detect, and the oddities of the particular language mean that you might miss something that needed to be caught or caught something that should've been let go. Your limitations with English make me unwilling to support your candidacy. --forgottenlord 02:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

i understand, yes it can be a problem, i already know that was a problem but i understand around 90-95% of what you saying on #halopedia. also i appreciate you said i try my hardest. C F⁰⁰¹ 14:43, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Support Although Forgottenlord may be correct, we always have a user or four that could tell whether or not operator actions are needed, and alert him. So I see no reason why not to allow him op status. Lieutenant Vatz _{"My COM Network"}^{"My Work"} 01:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Blemo

I am requesting for low-level again, if I already didn't have them removed, because my last operatorship was only a trial for my RfA. Since I cancelled my RfA, I'm pretty sure that my trial is up, I would like to "renew" it. I have been on the IRC for nearly a year, had three months of experience of moderating #halopedia, and I am very fluent around the channel. I am very well aware of the changes in IRC policies and I frequent the IRC every single day I find a computer. Please take this into consideration.

I'm pretty sick of having to sit and watch spammers, flamers and noobs piss people off while theres no ops on. As anybody who frequenst IRC now will tell ya, I've been pretty mature as of late, I haven't been kicked for months, I've been a good little boy.

Though today was the last straw, a invasion of noobs and spammers this afternoon, with them forcing actual halopedians who were chatting in there off, I had to ride it out as no ops or janitors were on.

Halo_3

I am requesting to be a low-level Op on #Halopeida, I am normally on at times that there is not any Ops on, and I am a constant user on the IRC. I also believe that some of the stuff that happens while an Op is away is outrageous, or just the stuff that some Ops let go is amazing. I am also going to be Homeschooled next year so I can be on for most of the day. H3 Fear Me, or else... 01:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Support I'm on the fence on this one. On one hand: You are mature during situations with spammers. IE. Warning then attempting to contact an admin and not joining in with the spammer. And on the other hand: You have a bad history with arguments with users and OPs. I'm not going to act holier than thou, (I've had my spats with the way the OPs ran the IRC many times) but that may affect the final decision of your opping. Template:Signature/Grievous797

Support I'm also on the fence for this, I agree with Grievs, you are mature and serious enough to handle the responsibilities, but there have been several occasions were you have lost control to the "shenanigans" of the channel. All in all I have to say that I support your request. Lieutenant Vatz _{"My COM Network"}^{"My Work"} 01:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Weak Oppose I don't deny that people can change and I haven't been on IRC enough to be able to evaluate your behavior now - those are far from the reasons for my vote. My vote is because I was last active on IRC from late April through late May and I recall incidents from that time period. Two months to turn over a new leaf is not, IMO, sufficient time to be satisfied with someone being given ops. We don't tend to give ops to users who've been here less than 3 months (I know, I got it within 1 but that's beside the point), I'm not sure we should be giving it to someone who's got a history and has had less than 3 months of good behavior. In a few months, I'd have no problem with this nomination if several users and ops indicate your nose is still clean. --forgottenlord 17:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I've been talking about this for a while, and I'm finally doing it. I'm requesting operator status on #halopedia.

I only do that because you can get kind of annoying on the channel, and, not to point any fingers, I barely kick/remove you anymore. Also, #gruntcorner has no rules for kicking or banning. I haven't kicked you in a month. So please, reconsider your vote :) SPARTAN-G156 ^{COM Channel} _{Past Battles} ^{My History} 02:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Just because GruntCorner doesn't have any formal rules about kicking doesn't mean that there isn't a limit to what is considered appropriate nor does that mean that actions within GC shouldn't be counted against you. In truth, one of the largest problems we've had is attitude from our ops and admins in the past. A place like GruntCorner shows us what sort of attitude you bring to those kinds of powers. CR, who owns the channel, rarely (if ever) plays with the kick button - it is very rare that you are kicked and unable to figure out why. Hearing the word "barely" sets off plenty of alarm bells and makes me wonder just how many of those kicks are justified....and how many of them are just you either goofing off or letting a temper get to you. --forgottenlord 07:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

It's true I act immature on #gruntcorner, but when I'm on #halopedia I'm as mature as I can be all the time. And, the only times I kick are at times where I'm either very annoyed be the person, if they're flooding. Recently, in the past month, I've rarely kicked anyone as goofing off. SPARTAN-G156 ^{COM Channel} _{Past Battles} ^{My History}

Um, fl......#gruntcorner has no rules, but yes there's a limit to what is appropriate. To be fairly honest, CR and myself kick a lot on that channel, clearly when you're not on, which is a lot now, so for you to state that CR rarely kicks is a bit unfair considering you're not there most of the time. Even Simon and Blemo occasionally do it. Just because we act like that in that channel doesn't mean we're like that in all channels. I'm sure Delta knows how and when to appropriately kick someone in #Halopedia. Halo Du de 17:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

My point is: while there might be things on GC that aren't ok on HP, it is concerning to see someone use that as a justification. No, I would never test a user on his ability to moderate on GC, but someone who acts like a dick on GC I would be fairly hesitant to support for ops on HP. That said, I don't vote unless I see clear evidence of either a person having good moderation skills or poor member of the community - rather I raise questions about arguments and reasoning made. --forgottenlord 14:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Just because people use mibbit doesn't mean that person should be kicked. It's not their fault if they have lag. And besides, you should have sent me a PM, kick, or a message before directly banning me for a few days. >.> Rickroller GeneralÌṂρεσάḹόґ^My_{VictoriesFile:Cavalier achievement.gif} 03:08, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Who? — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 08:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I have never kicked anyone due to them having Mibbit. That is fairly idiotic to suggest. I simply, on a channel with no rules, banned Mibbit, then unbanned it the next morning. I would have unbanned sooner, but my parents made me go to bed. You were the one unnecessarily kicking me for "flooding" which never occurred. As for the "banning me for a few days", I never ban anyone on #gruntcorner for more than a few hours, they only last longer due to me having to leave for a certain amount of time. SPARTAN-G156 ^{COM Channel} _{Past Battles} ^{My History} 12:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Ahem....I only kicked you because you were flooding. In fact, you filled the whole channel with some joke. I (and the others on the channel at the time) warned you several times before I kicked you the first time. Then, you continued and I kicked you again. And that repeated several times. The last time I kicked you was because of lag. Even though you stopped, my computer kept spouting things several minutes late (because of it being on mibbit). Therefore, I kicked you. Even I explained what happened, though, you banned me. BTW, to others, that was on #gruntcorner. Rickroller GeneralÌṂρεσάḹόґ^My_{VictoriesFile:Cavalier achievement.gif} 14:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually I was not flooding, your IRC client, Mibbit, was lagging severely. For me, and everyone else, I had stopped saying that log five minutes before you kicking me. I had no control over your clients lag, so warnings were useless. Also, screaming "STAWP" several times is NOT a warning. And 5 kicks was unneeded for your clients lag. SPARTAN-G156 ^{COM Channel} _{Past Battles} ^{My History} 14:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

*Cough* Private Message, anyone? In addition, my five kicks were because you rejoined after you kept on flooding the channel. For the first time, I said Stop spamming. Regardless, you continued, thus resulting in a kick. That wasn't the only time you banned me, either. Rickroller GeneralÌṂρεσάḹόґ^My_{VictoriesFile:Cavalier achievement.gif} 14:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I have auto rejoin on. But that's beside the point. Five kicks is COMPLETELY unneeded. No matter what the offense, and a PM was pointless because I was away at the time of your kicking. What happened in the past on #gruntcorner is irrelevant to this anyway. This is a request on an official Wikia channel with rules. #gruntcorner is CR and HD's personal channel, which has NO rules. So other than something irrelevant from the past, what do you have against my request for op? SPARTAN-G156 ^{COM Channel} _{Past Battles} ^{My History} 15:08, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

If how he acts on GC is going to affect the possibility of his op status in #halopedia, then you might as well take away my ops and James' ops too, cos you've seen how both me and him act in the channel. James with his crimping/animal camouflage (XD) stuff. Then you have me going on about whatever, like calling the Easter Bunny a bastard for not giving me chocolate on Easter. Yet both of us can control ourselves in certain channels and what not and act how we should, and it seems like Delta can control himself too, we just have our moments. All GC really does in my opinion is some people learn is some of the IRC commands cos nearly everyone who joins gets ops. ChurchRe born 00:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry Delta, i think we have enough op's, plus you arn't the most responsible person i've seen on the channel, and on other channels you do abuse your powers.- Template:ONI recon 111

Yes, we do have many ops. But the majority of them are not on often, or are usually away at most times. As for responsibility, I actually am one of the more responsible ones on the channel, not the most, but still very responsible.

There was actually an idea by one admin at one point that it might be desired to have as many as 5 ops at any given time on the channel. We're not really looking at number of ops to make our decisions but rather the quality of the user himself. I think it would be appreciated if you made your vote solely about the quality of the user and let the admins make their decisions about staffing levels --forgottenlord 14:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Lovemuffin

I, Lovemuffin, am requesting for the position of low-level op on the #halopedia IRC channel. The first time I requested to be an op, I was denied due to lack of experience on the IRC channel. However, over the past months, I have become a frequent member of the IRC, helping contribute a social unity and equilibrium between users. I can incorporate my experience from Halopedia, being a Rollback User and a Seasoned Veteran, into the IRC as I will cease others from committing offensive and ill-mannered behavior. I feel some users that can confirm my frequent use of the IRC are CommanderTony, Delta-269, ChurchReborn, HaloDude, Specops306, Halopediaman, Spirit-of-HALO, Stigma-231, Mlj91, Ghost Sangheili, Blemo, Subtank, and other various users. I find that even though there might be an abundance of overall users, those users are commonly not on all the time or some might be away from their computers. I hope that you can realize that I can be a valuable asset to the Halopedia Channel if I become an Op.
