I would like to become a Forum Moderator, because I am very active on the forums and would like to help the community. I am currently a Chat Moderator, so I know how to work with people, create order and I know when to act. I am also knowledgable of the series as well as the policies of the TESWiki and Wikia in general. ＵＡＭ (talk) 19:34, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Response to TombRaiders post:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:423872 (Stating which guidelines were broken, taking action. etc.) http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:427697 (Me giving SoB location.)

I will add more if necessary, when it comes to the me getting involved in Consensus, I won't post a specific one. As whenever I see a Consensus track I will post on it.

I've seen him post on other boards. He helps people when he can and I think he'll be a good one. Fishy (talk) 03:03, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

- I support this idea. He's been helping out quite a lot lately, in a few different boards, and I've seen him quite a lot on the CT threads, getting involved in the discussions there. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:42, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

From what I've seen, he's handling the chat mod responsibilities quite well. Seems like he would be cut out for this. :) -- 02:05, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

With all due repect, I just don't think you require the amount of... how can I put this... responsability that being a Forum Moderator takes. I enjoy reading your posts, as most of them are quite funny, and I enjoy RPing with you, but I have to vote against. Goldflame33 (talk) 02:18, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

- It is possible to be irresponsible and fun most of the time, and serious when required. Just saying. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:42, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

There is no doubt that you are a very active member on the forums, and I'm sure that you have posted in more than just Off-topic and Roleplaying threads, but it's not easy sifting through the other forum activity to find it. Could you please link a few threads/posts in which you have been helping around the forums? This can entail answering user questions regarding the wiki or the games, getting topics back on track, and taking part in consensus discussions. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:23, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

While there are some gaps in your activity it is a plus to see that your forum contributions are across most of the forum boards. When selecting someone as a moderator we want to make sure you will actively be moderating the forums and not disappear after a while, so it would be great if you could increase your activity while you are actively pursuing becoming a moderator and keep up that activity afterwards. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:25, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

You were not active during the duration of your request, and there were no other votes, so unfortunately, we can't make you a forum moderator. You are welcome to try again next time when are more active in the fourms. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:54, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

FishySalesman
I would be glad to become a Forum Moderator on the wiki, as I am a generally helpful and friendly person who strives to assist anyone and everyone in need when I can. TombRaiser herself reccomended me here after I post more on other forum topics, which I did my best with. As you may know, I am already a chat moderator, showing how I have the ability to work well with others, but enforce the rules on them when mandatory. I know a lot about the series already and have played several of the games. I hope you'll consider me as a Forum Moderator. Fishy (talk) 01:00, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

Like I said with UAM, I respect both of you. The thing is, I don't think you are fitting for this role. Nothing personal. Well, I am a bit jealous of your colored username, but that isn't important. Goldflame33 (talk) 02:21, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

As with UAM, the same applies here, that there is no doubt you are an active forum participant. I would request that you link a few threads/posts in which you have been helping around the forums.

Hi, I'm Pickleseller. The reason I would like to become a Forum Mod is because I am helpful on the forums, doing things such as moving threads to the right board, answering questions, participating in Consensus boards, and telling threads to get back on topic. The reason I wish to be promoted from forum mod is because I believe there are too many. I help people when they have bugs or glitches. I go on the forums whenever I can. I am helpful around the wiki in general, and I have expierience as a Chat Mod here.

I've seen him help around the forums a lot recently. He's friendly and easy to talk to as well. Fishy (talk) 03:59, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

I would like to nominate myself to become forum moderator on this wiki because I am online almost everyday after school hours (Although the only reason I have previously haven't been very active is because my internet decided to stop working but is now fixed and I have only 3 days of school left until I finish the year so I will be more active) and I am very friendly to other users and I try to be as helpful as I can when users have questions. I am very knowledgeable of the policies of this wiki and I have contributed a lot to the mainspace articles as well.Fire Wolf Pup (talk) 10:07, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

I wish to be a Forum Moderator because when I am on the forums, I see people getting trolled constantly and I tried to help but I couldn't help because I wasn't a Forum Moderator. Also, I love this wiki and want it to prosper instead of having people getting insulted all over the forums. I am on the forums when I am not editing articles and go on it often.

Reasons stated by TombRaiser, not active on forums. ＵＡＭ (talk) 18:04, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

You don't go on it often, as stated, and Forum Mods only have power over the normal in TESWiki Chat and they can rollback edits, so you can still prevent people getting trolled and such. 03:12, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

Comments
It seems that you have only posted on the forum 5 times, and one of the requirements to become a forum moderator is to be an active participant in the forums.

Also, a forum moderator doesn't have the ability to block users from the forum, but would have the ability to edit out policy violations from posts when necessary. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:29, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

I wish to become a Forum Moderator. I go on the forums almost everday, and I want to help around the wiki a little more. Now I know I'm in the RP section a lot, but if I'm given the honour of becoming a Forum Moderator I'll make sure to go around a lot more to all the different catagories. I also know I get in debates a lot, but I'm trying to stop that. So I hope you'll all consider me. Zippertrain85 (talk) 02:35, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Zip is very active around the forms, especially around the RP forums, that seem like they need some more regulating. -Like-That-Tail 02:42, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Zipper has proven to be a helpful fellow. He contributes to the wiki nearlly every day if not every day and it is hard not to see him around on a forum. He would make for a useful forum mod as he is both mature and active. ScholarOfTheScrolls (talk) 03:18, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Agree with what was stated above, he is very regular in the RPs Section, one that needs constant regulation. He's active, mature, helpful, knowledgeable. I believe he'll be a fine Forum Mod. PLPellegrini (talk) 17:23, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

The fact that he believes those who vote against him did it out of bias and personal reasons reinforces all of the evidence against him. Goldflame33 (talk) 22:32, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

— Seems to be very close-minded when dealing with arguments, and from my observations, accuses people of things when he could fix te issue himself. I can easily recall instances where he continued debating just because he had to get the last word in. -- As stated by Goldflame Fishy (talk) 17:20, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

 I feel he is just too hot-headed and argumentative, whereas Moderators are ment to remain as neutral and calm as possible in a confrontational situation. He has improved, just not enough. Flugsmith (talk) 21:45, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Says in which board the thread should be when himself could move it, and hasn't given up arguing. I think our Moderator list is fine anyway. 02:00, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

Exhibits signs of abuse of power. Argues frequently in a close-minded fashion and is almost always the source of these arguments. Has once stated that he would perma-block a user for disagreeing with his opinion. 789Snowbird987 (talk) 16:13, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Agree with Flugsmith,sorry Zipper. ℳ.Ѻẘεᾔ.ℒℱC Say Hi! stalk edits 16:09, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Selfish, close-minded, easily angered. These are words I would use to describe the user, Zippertrain85. He can't hold an argument without becoming unreasonable, after he started said argument.

You seem to be made of Moderator material, but i just haven't seen you doing any Moderator-suited tasks, and i think our moderator list has enough members.

I've been trying to answer a lot more questions for people for this very reason, Sky. If you choose me, I'll do it as much as I can with these "Moderator-Suited tasks". Zippertrain85 (talk) 01:06, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * I still want to wait a few days, as the nomination process usually takes one week. By the way, i have seen you choosing to refrain from the arguing at least one time. I prefer to change my vote before the nomination is wrapped up, and i will, if you keep up. 01:38, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Zipper, you can change topics by editing the white boxes below the place where you enter your reply. Just saying in case you don't know, because you haven't added a topic to that one thread related to the Purity quest. 19:51, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Fishy, come on, don't reject me on behalf of something petty. My "arguing" abilities have nothing to do with how good I would be as a Forum Moderator. It's like if I rejected you because you joked around too much. It makes no sense. I don't mind people opposing me, it's just when the reasons don't make sense.

 * But this is exactly why you are not capable of being a moderator. You take offense and get angry over everyone disagreeing or criticizing you. Last night you were claiming that if you had mod powers you would have banned Lyra (or whatever was her name) over a tiny political argument. Get over it, keep working and improve yourself. --Ikabite (talk) 17:43, January 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * As I pointed out above the user has some clear anger issues and can get quite defensive. This trait is quite easy to spot when he creates a thread and addresses the corrupt voting system and the corrupt staff who voted against him. If what Ikabite says is true then the user would be using his powers incorrectly and I feel that all Forum Moderators would feel the effects. If one person does the job really bad it can reflect on all the other Moderators. Zu&#39;u lost daal. Alduin1996 (talk) 10:51, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry everyone, that I acted poorly. I shouldn't have done that. But I just wanted to tell you that I am trying to be active on the Forums, by answering question, putting questions on the right topics, etc. And I could do more of this better if I became a Forum Moderator. If you don't change your vote, I understand, I acted badly. But if I do, I'll really try to make sure you don't regret it. Zippertrain85 (talk) 19:14, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Application unsuccessful. You can apply at a later date, but don't rush into re-applying. Keep being active and helpful in the forums, and learn to take a side of neutrality (agree to disagree). — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:34, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Ikabite
I was informed there is a need for Lore forum moderator. I have not been visiting the forums frequently, but the lore board is the one I do visit the most. I've read through the Moderators page and I feel like I am capable of doing the job. I also believe I have proven my worth with my past edits.

Although, I must agree, that I haven't had many posts on the forum itself and thus I am not the best candidate. But in the case of lacking proper applicants, I am capable and responsible enough.

I wish to become a forum moderator because I'm on the wiki everyday, even if i spend most of my time on the roleplaying board, but I constantly see some thread where people argue about something. And this always ends with someone becoming quite hostile towards another. As a person that hates arguments, I apply for this position. Also I once was the most active RP'er, and still aim to be. I always remain civil even though I admit I have lost my cool once, but that is beyond rare for me, also I am quick to calm down. I don't know what more to say, you all know me.

Despite your maturity, experience and the respect you have on the wikia, I must note that almost all of your last 500 edits have been exclusively in the Off-Topic/Roleplaying boards, with exception of a few. I know that you would be very responsible and mature within the boards that you do visit, but, do we need another Off-topic/Roleplaying heavy Forum Moderator? I don't know.

Find them, just look in your contributions and post the links here. You have 3 less support votes if you don't honor the requests made. I looked in your forum contributions and didn't find that many contribs outside of the Off-topic and RP. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:34, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

You didn't furnish the requested links, so 3 support votes did not count. Voting has long since passed, so I have to close your application.
