Hello, fellow Nukapedians. My name is DisgustingWastelander, and I am once again running for the position of chat moderator.

About me

I started editing in early 2016, contributing with minor sporadic edits. A year later, in March of 2017, I started editing more coherently, and after some guidance from several helpful users, I joined the settlement objects project. Since then I have been editing continuously. I was promoted to patroller of the wiki on March 30th.

Activity in chat

I always keep the chat tab open when editing the wiki, frequently taking part in ongoing conversations. I am generally present in chat several days, every week 14:00 - 24:00 UTC. I have gotten to know a lot of the people who are frequently active in chat, and feel that I know my way around.

In my first request, I said that I rarely took part in conversation, thus being able to step in as a neutral party. This was widely disliked by most voters, many of whom did not even know who I were. I have therefore used the last month to make myself known to the regulars of the chat and let them know who I am. I have gotten to know a few more people, and certainly upped my activity.

I have been promoted to temporary chat moderator five times, and have banned five users for misbehaving.

Edit count

There should have been a list of this user's edit counts here, but the edit counts feature is no longer available.

Endorsement

Because of Distusting's dedication to the chat and his continued activity in chat. He is a very good fit. Therefore he has my faith in a permanent status of chat mod. I hereby endorse this request. Jackiboy Logo (talk) 17:03, June 3, 2017 (UTC)

Endorsement here as well. Distusting is a regular and helpful editor, and spends plenty of time talking in chat; we'd be glad to have him as a chat mod. NomadMC (talk) 10:50, July 14, 2017 (UTC)

Votes

Yes

  1. Yes you were good with the temp rights.12345678abcdefg 12345678abcdefg
  2. Yes see comments Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin
  3. Yes I rarely vote on user rights requests. I'm going to break that precedent here. I'm voting yes based on one thing and one thing only: I'm often in chat when there's no one else there. When I feel the need for a temp mod and I look around, I look for DW first. I think that shows the level of trust I place in him. The Gunny  UserGunny chevrons 21:29, July 13, 2017 (UTC)
  4. Yes See endorsement Jackiboy Logo (talk) 21:53, July 13, 2017 (UTC)
  5. Yes The Courier NCR for life (talk) 23:51, July 13, 2017 (UTC) Now I haven't exactly been on the chat for the longest time. But for the time I have been on there, I've seen DW almost all of the time I'm there. He's also helped me out with a few image edits that I needed done. He's very active, which is one of the traits needed to be a good chat moderator. He's helpful, and according to the others, he did well with the temp mod right they gave him. Anyway, I am on mobile right now and I can't sign my name the right way. Can someone fix that for me? Thanks. The Courier NCR for life (talk) 23:51, July 13, 2017 (UTC) The Courier NCR for life
  6. Yes Because I'm rarely active in chat, I don't know how much weight my vote will have, but I think DW will be a great fit for this, almost every time I log in I see his account logged into chat. He's very active, and knows when to step in if needed. Rebel427 ~ I'll be your huckleberry 02:05, July 14, 2017 (UTC)
  7. Yes I really don't get why Distusting's old request didn't pass but rest assured this guy deserves the chance. Just like the old yes vote I'm placing it back. ------Cassie Ultimate Anime Loving Weeaboo. 03:04, July 14, 2017 (UTC)
  8. Yes See endorsement - I'll definitely vote yes. NomadMC (talk) 10:52, July 14, 2017 (UTC)
  9. Yes DarkValorWolf (talk) 13:14, July 14, 2017 (UTC) You've helped me with some questions before and always seem active , and even though I haven't been here long you've already made a great impression on me. Definitely think you'd be a great moderator from what I've seen.

Comments

I had originally voted first time round to abstain as I wanted to see how Distusting interacted with other users. It's been a tough month for him in that regards as both mine and his normal operating hours have been very quiet this month (if largely) uncovered. There was one incident that I saw that made me say "this is what I was waiting for the first time". I don't remember the exact details, but I do recall a quick intervention from him without his rights and the situation resolved itself. Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 17:21, July 13, 2017 (UTC)

Pretty much everything I was gonna say has already been said by Saka, but still for those who voted no (especially the neutrals) please try to get to know him because this guy deserves the chance. ------Cassie Ultimate Anime Loving Weeaboo. 03:04, July 14, 2017 (UTC)
