Board Thread:Requests for User Rights/@comment-27138615-20160529185435

Well, it’s been so long since we’d last have a nomination here, hasn’t it? Well, I’m going to nominate someone for chat moderator for today, and that guy is Higehigebomber, who I thought deserves the position for some time now. And yes, I did get his approval.

Requirements

 * You must have at least 100 mainspace edits. ~ He has 125 mainspace edits.
 * You must have been in this wiki for at least two months. ~ He has been here since January 9, 2015.
 * You must have not been blocked or banned from chat for more than one week for the past six months. ~ He hasn’t been blocked or banned once and has no warnings on his talk page.
 * More than 50% of the votes must be supportive. ~ That’s up to you, guys.

How I think this will benefit the wiki
If it’s somewhere we lack in the staff department, it’s with the chat moderators. Sure, we do have a lot of people with discussion moderator powers, but most of the time, you can’t really find one in chat and most of the people who I see in chat are usually the same old same olds. What if those people get busy? Chat really dies when it’s 12AM ~ 2AM in my area and those are kind of the times where the same olds leave. (in my time zone), and even when it’s supposed to be afternoon at my place, he’s still there and he really stays for a long amount of time too, sometimes even when it’s already evening at my place. Even if it seems we have a lot of discussion moderators, I don’t see them very often in chat. Sometimes even there are quite a few chat mods, some might be away from chat, and heck, even sometimes I am guilty of this. And I don't think there is such thing as too many staff, as well you know, sometimes the more the merrier, plus we don't have staff limits.

Why I think he deserves chat moderator rights
I think he deserves these rights because one, I see him often enough in chat (this is coming from someone who keeps their chat window on for around 12+ hours daily) and he is fairly active there, and two, I see him around when it's so late at night at his area. When I'm in my usual chat moderator shift for the day, I usually see him there for a lot of hours. Although I did hear that he will get a part-time job by next week, and that might decrease his time in chat, but nevertheless, I think that he’d still quite get some time to come to chat. And yes, I am well aware of the lewd-ish conversations in chat (everyone pretty much does), but not often can you see the “you can converse about it until a chat mod stops it” thing isn’t even enforced often, and some of them even join in it. (I see that a LOT) But nevertheless, I still see that he is still generally friendly around people and most of the things that he does is usually pretty harmless.

Closing Statement
I’ve been meaning to do this for days now, but wasn’t really in the right mood to finish this until now, but I’m going to say this right now that I think that he has deserved these for some time now. I think that some users in the chatroom have agreed with me on there. But for now, it’s up to you guys to decide whether or not that he should be a chat moderator. May the voting commence. Thank you for you reading.
