Hello, Nukapedians and friends alike, I, Dead Gunner, am humbly asking for chat moderator rights.
About me, and my qualifications
I was once an anon, I remember using the wiki during my Fallout 3 and New Vegas playthroughs, and I was astounded by the amount of content on here. After Lonesome Road came out, I decided to make an account, though I wasn't active. I have been active now for around 6 months, and I have grown to love the people here. I have also been active in the wiki's chat accessory, and I love to be there, I always have a better mood when I have just been on the wiki's chat.
At night-time though, some of the mods disappear from their keyboards and people cause havoc on here. I remember one guy who began using dolan speak to ask for help in Fallout: New Vegas, it was apparent that some people were annoyed about the guy, so I told him to PM me and I helped him with the game. He eventually thanked me and left the chat, leaving the people in the chat feeling more comfortable on the chat.
Some reasons I think I will make a good moderator is that I tend not to have a bias, which would help in decision making. I also have been voting on issues of importance in the wiki, and putting my thoughts into proposals. I have also been here, very late at night, around every night. It may not matter in chat, but I am an active editor and I contribute to the community. I understand that I have been banned twice, and that this may tip the scale in your decisions, but I have grown and learned from my bans, and in hindsight, it was good for me to get banned, because now I know how it feels, and I will want to only issue bans to those who truly deserve it. I know the rules, and try to break up fights when I can, and I always try to be a decent person to whomever I meet.
Some people say we have enough chat mods, but if someone is willing to take the job, why not give them a shot? I am willing to step to the plate. I hate the fact that some come to the chat and don't feel a good atmosphere. Please, give me the chance to ensure that this place will be enjoyable for anyone, and everyone. As a last thought to all who think we have enough mods, remember this quote, "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it." Thank you.

No
- "Not everybody who meets the requirements will automatically become a special rights user, they are appointed on a per-need basis." You have described to me ONE instance where someone with special rights was needed, one instance that could have happened god knows how long ago, and instead of reporting it, you allowed him to stay in chat and continue to break a rule, it's not a matter of "oh well he tried to help someone" it's a matter of the fact you allowed him to stay instead of reporting him, as most do, and as most should do. Moving on, your method of breaking up fights is as someone on another forum so aptly put it is "Everyone chill the fuck out", jumping in a random points asking people to "chill out", one should note that when you say this, the situation is perfectly calm. That only says to me that you perhaps do not know when is the right time, and when isn't the right time to step into others perfectly normal conversations. Furthermore, whenever I see you on, the chat is populated not only by normal users, but by plenty of mods/admins that handle situations arise. You described to me another scenario during your time slot where someone broke the rules, but you then said he was correctly punished at the time. Have their not been 3 other requests stating they will be in your time slot? And are these people there during this time? Yes. Does this show that you can fill a gap no one else can? Absolutely not. Mods are on when you are, and do their jobs correctly when the need arises for them to use their rights. "It's better to have it and not need it", so what's the point in giving you rights you will never use? Because I can't see one. If people are to be appointed on a per-need basis, and there is no need for you to be appointed, then it's a no, through and through. --Talk 15:54, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, where do I start... to be honest, fraze already kind of pointed out most of the points I was going to make, so i think ill just keep this kind of short. Do i think you could be a mod? Yes, with a bit of practice I do actually, but heres the thing: we really don't need it right now, and the rules state we make mods on a per-need bias. We already have up to 5 or 6 mods in the chat at times, and 3 or 4 when ever your available, all do their job right, and all do a good job at keeping the peace; don't get me wrong, you are better than some in qualifications, but overall I don't think you should be a mod as of right now, we have enough, so why take the time in trying to make more and make them good? Because, as stated before, you aren't exactly assertive, and even if that's because your afraid of being judged or criticized, that's kind of the risk you take if you want the position of power. So, to conclude, could it happen? Maybe. But right now? No, i dont think it could.--Emiko~<3 (talk) 19:57, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
- As you posted a link to banned material in chat during your campaign, I am obligated to vote no. Agent c (talk) 00:40, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral
- Well, You have been very polite and friendly to me since I have joined (Not long ago) But I feel that I need to know you a bit better but I wish the best of luck to you and I will remain neutral for the time being. "Veni Vidi Vici" 18:20, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I have reasons to vote yes, and almost the same amount to vote no. I will think this over and vote then. "Hail to the Pigeon!" 19:17, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Silent abstain. Agent c (talk) 20:16, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
Comments
I would like the honest opinions of everyone put down here, or in the poll, that way, either if I get rights or don't, I can still improve myself for the better. "Respect and Honor" 15:34, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
