RWBY Wiki:User Rights Nominations

Suggested Prerequisites for Nominees
Due to the fact that the wiki and RWBY itself are relatively young, the prerequisites are strongly recommended but are not a definitive requirement for nomination and can be overlooked for outstanding nominees.

Chat Moderator

 * Be a member of the wiki for at least 4 months.
 * Be fairly active on chat.
 * Have not been banned from chat for a duration longer than one day in the last month.

Rollback

 * Have made at least 100 mainspace edits.
 * Have been active on the wiki for at least three months.
 * Have not been blocked within the last month.

Administrator

 * Have made at least 400 mainspace edits.
 * Have been active on the wiki for at least five months.
 * Have not been blocked within the last three months.

Bureaucrat

 * User has been an administrator on the wiki for at least three months.

Nominations for the Removal of User Rights
Since nominations for the removal of users may require extensive evidence and include several different points, they are often too large to be put on this page. Instead, nominations for the removal of a user's rights are to be made in either a blog of forum. Similar to the process of nominating users for rights, the decision will be based upon a majority vote by registered users. Since bureaucrat rights can only be removed by Wikia Staff or the user themselves, nominations for the removal of user rights of a bureaucrat will be forwarded to Wikia Staff. If administrators and bureaucrats feel that a user is actively causing harm with their rights (such as a moderator banning several users for no reason, or a rollback reverting several users' edits for no reason), they may temporarily remove the user's rights until a vote on the nomination is decided.

BlackKnight343
Nominator: Gastropod

Reason for Nomination: BlackKnight343 has displayed conduct and behaviour becoming of a mod, as well as a keen understanding and respect for the rules of the chat. He is quick to attempt to defuse situations and refrains from taking sides, and has shown genuine concern for the general well-being of the community. He has also been a member of chat for some time and thus has an excellent grasp of the culture and atmosphere of the chat. This perspective means that he has an excellent sense of when things get out of hand, and how to deal with emerging situations or troublesome users.

 * 1) Support: I Support this because as stated before bk has an excellent grasp of rules and is quick to try and difuse situations before they happen he has taken many steps to try and rectify situations with little to no further quarreling he has shown multiple times that he has a calm head and retains his composure in situations and even trying to help by breaking it up if it does blow out of propotion in all fairness i have left him in charge many times before and he has done a good job of it so i support this choice he has a good feel of the rules and the chat atomosphere and should be granted chat mod postion.

 * 1) Oppose: Black is a calm and level headed user but has not stood out enough form other users that act in the same manner as him to recive this position. Also there are currently an abundance of chat mods, once the admin and crat positions are sorted the chat mod positions may be revisited.
 * 1) Oppose - As per above (and a bit too lazy to type up a reason due to the current time that I wrote this. - Let Darkness Consume You-Ragnaka The Bloodedge Blazblue Activate! Ragnakarender.png
 * 2) Oppose - Black is in my view just like any other user in Chat. There are people who deserve this position more, and we currently have enough ChatMods on this Wiki in my personal opinion.-           | |||        Schneamato  FEUER!!! YamatoShip_clipped_rev_1.png
 * 3) Oppose - I won't let personal bias get in when I say this, while I love Black as a friend and person, he is not worthy of being a Chat Moderator, he isn't as active as many other candidates are, and as Nedz said, I see him as another user, not one that is currently Chat Mod ready, not to mention, we do have many Chat Mods at our helm already. Maybe another time when positions open or he proves his worthiness, but until then, I'll oppose this.  Peachy One Shall Stand [[File:Turokicon.png]] 09:56, January 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose- He isn't as active as the other mods on chat, plus he doesn't stand out from the rest. In addition, we have good mod coverage as it is in chat already.

Darkness Inferno
Nominator: Gastropod

Reason for Nomination: It should really go without saying that Darkness Inferno is trustworthy, incredibly diligent and has an outstanding ability to create high-quality articles, perhaps most notably the Inconsistencies page. His edits and input have been instrumental in maintaining a high standard of content. A quick look at his edit history will corroborate this assessment. He is also active in the community and is an established, well-known user.

On a more general note, with regards to whether additional admins are necessary, it would probably be prudent to allow a new administrator to settle into their position in advance of the anticipated activity increase rather than wait for it to become an urgent necessity. In light of this, I can't think of a person better suited to the position than Darkness Inferno.

Support

 * 1) Support: Logan is definitly suited for the postion, he has the right attitude towards forwarding the Wikia, and a large number of high quality mainspace edits. (I will expand on this tomorrow when I have more time) Minomelo (talk) 16:53, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose: I oppose, Logan is good at editing, but I still think he edits normally like any other Rollback. I think it's best to give him Rollback first, as he has just been promoted to ChatMod. For example, I think Mino, Maki or DarkCloud would be suited better for this position, those people also have more edits than Darkness Inferno.          <font color="#1F7A99" face="Sergoe UI"> | |||   <span style="background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, right top, left top, from(grey), to(Black)); -webkit-border-radius: 36px 12px;-moz-border-radius: 36px / 12px;-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);border:2px ridge gold; border-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:1000px 90px;border-top-right-radius:1000px 90px;color: Gold">    <font color="gold" face="Sergoe UI"> Schneamato  <font color="gold" face="Sergoe UI">FEUER!!!

Sgt D Grif
Nominator: Darkness Inferno

Reason for Nomination: Grif has been a long time user here and has supervised many wiki expansions and clean ups including most if not all of my own. He his demonstrated his ability to deal with problems regarding this wiki and between other wikis all whilst keeping a cool and calm deposition. I think he would do well as a Bureaucrat and serve the wiki well in the future as it grows larger.

Support
More importantly, however, his efforts to engage with the community, as can be seen from his blog, play a key part in keeping the community together. The importance of this willingness to interact with the core userbase of the Wiki simply cannot be overstated, and it is my strongly held conviction that for this reason alone, Grif will make an amazing bureaucrat. - Gastropod (talk) 16:59, January 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Support: It is clear that Grif's contributions have played a key part in the maintenance of the high quality of content on this Wiki. Grif's expertise in both CSS and Wiki markup has been indispensable in creating the numerous templates that make this Wiki a user-friendly, information dense and streamlined experience. His edits to content pages have also been uniformly outstanding.
 * 1) Support: I support, Grif has contributed to the Wikia for a long time, and I think the time has come to promote him to Crat. Without him, this Wikia would have been scratch, due to his fine coding editing. I don't have to say more, I think it's pretty clear. <span style="-webkit-border-radius: 15px 10px;-moz-border-radius: 15px / 12px;-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, right top, left top, from(#FFFF00), to(black)); ">        <span style="border:1px solid black;padding-bottom:11px;padding-top:11px;-webkit-border-radius: 36px 12px;-moz-border-radius: 36px / 12px;-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);background:Gray;-webkit-repeating-radial-gradient(ellipse,Black 45%,Black 50%); background:-moz-repeating-radial-gradient(Black,Black 45%,Black%)); border-top-left-radius:500px 400px;border-bottom-left-radius:500px 400px;"> <font color="#1F7A99" face="Sergoe UI"> | |||   <span style="background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, right top, left top, from(grey), to(Black)); -webkit-border-radius: 36px 12px;-moz-border-radius: 36px / 12px;-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);border:2px ridge gold; border-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:1000px 90px;border-top-right-radius:1000px 90px;color: Gold">    <font color="gold" face="Sergoe UI"> Schneamato   <font color="gold" face="Sergoe UI">FEUER!!!
