Hello wiki people! Mats here with a new announcement.
Got a pretty big pile of nominations for you guys to vote on today.
LaVey
First of all, we're going to return to the matter of LaVey who was previously denied an Admin promotion due to people simply not knowing him well enough. LaVey has had some time to interact with the community since then, and finds that he's confident in putting up another vote.
LaVey has done a great deal for this wiki in terms editing, has previous experience as an Administrator, and I've gotten the impression that he's an all-around nice, if a bit quiet, chatter. Here's your chance to share your own thoughts.
Should LaVey be promoted to Administrator?
Yes - 20
No - 0
Filename
Filename, perhaps more well known as "I am Noir" or "Dan", has requested a nomination for the Administrator post for the sake of gaining the editing tools.
This brings up an interesting choice, as Wikia recently added a position known as "Content Moderator", which is a junior-Admin position, of sorts. Content Mods have all the editing tools of an Admin, including, but not limited to, the deletion and protection of pages, using the rollback feature to undo a large number of edits in one click and more. This would let users gain the maximum amount of editing tools, while avoiding most of the responsibilities of a proper Admin.
Filename has done a lot of good for this wiki in a relatively short time. He's also been around for quite a long time, and his interest for improving the wiki should be obvious to anyone that catches him during one of his editing streaks. He also spends a great deal of time on having friendly conversations, and even organising edit sessions, with other users in the chat room.
I've decided to give you guys something new. The chance to choose which position the user will be given.
Which position should Filename be promoted to?
Administrator - 0
Content Moderator - 16
Neither - 0
Ohgodwhatisthat
Running on the theme of new positions being added; we come to our final nomination for today. Ohgodwhatisthat has accepted a nomination to become our new Discussions Moderator.
Discussions Moderators are senior-Chat Mods that have all the abilities of the Chat Mod and the, now removed, Moderator positions. This means that they are capable of everything a Chat Mod already can do, as well as monitoring the Forum, Message Walls and Comments on blog posts and articles. Essentially, Discussions Moderators monitor all forms of interaction within the community.
Ohgodwhatisthat is our most experienced Chat Mod, by far, and he's a level-headed and fair user and a great guy all-around. As such, I think he'll make a great example for how our community should behave towards one another.
Should Ohgodwhatisthat be promoted to Discussions Moderator?
Yes - 14
No - 0
As always, remember to leave your thoughts and motivation in the comments below.
