Voting Closed

The strongest agreement is for 7 of the suggested ops: Callofduty4, Charitwo, Godisme, Monchoman45, Randomtime, Rappy 4187, Xd1358. These will be the first group added (future ops will be at the discretion of the IRC community)

This page can be used for voting for/nominating operators for the new channel. All nominees for +F are automatically here, though users may nominate themselves if they wish to.

As a general guideline, successful ops should get at least 65 to 70% support. After two weeks, the votes will be closed by a neutral user.

Charitwo

Support
  1. Support Weak Support - I've seen very rash actions from charitwo in the past that doesn't live up to standards I believe channel operators should reach. However, charitwo's discussion in the archive and his withdrawal from voting for +F has changed my vote from Oppose symbol Oppose to Support Weak Support. Rappy 01:52, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
  2. Support Support --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 02:01, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
  3. Support Support - I've known charitwo for quite some time, and while there were instances in the past where his actions were questionable, he has proven time and again that he has learned from his mistakes and is more than responsible enough to have an op role on the channel. --Skizzerz 02:14, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
  4. Support Support - Charitwo has always done an excellent job in handling his +o and has kept the channel running. I think it is perfectly acceptable for him to keep his +o.--GodPray  02:20,11/1/2011 
  5. Support Weak Support - Charitwo sure dedicates a lot of time running the channel and keeping it clear of trolls. However, his general behavior in some situations is worrying, but I'm gonna support it nonetheless, seeing as the issue isn't too serious. I do hope he can learn from our concerns. 1358 (Talk) 11:34, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
  6. Support Support - Charitwo makes bad decisions sometimes, but so does everyone else. I see no reason to discontinue his work as op.  Monchoman45  Talk  Contribs  Skystone  12:25,11/1/2011 
  7. Support Support Per the others, also I wish others do present their concerns to Charitwo and someone third party (same with any other op) when they are raised so people can respond. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 12:48, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose
Neutral
  1. Neutral. I am quite frankly impressed by Charitwo's withdrawal from the +F nom in response to criticism, and I really do hope that he takes that criticism to heart as much as he says he will. That being said, the past trends of ignoring user feedback are concerning, forcing me to be neutral on this. I also hope that this !vote allows Charitwo to realize that it is not my intention to "push an agenda" here, as I would be opposing per some stupid reason if I wanted to do that. ajr 04:20, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

    I've seen Godisme admit he was in the wrong at times in the past. I think he is able to handle criticism. --Callofduty4 23:36, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
    Oppose symbol Oppose - Seems to be biased about most situations and this shows lack of concern or co-operation. Not to mention the approval of letting users bad-mouth other users in chat, and encourage it. I don't want to see an OP with this type of attitude towards things. However the support side has some valid points, and until I see an improvement in behavior, I'm sticking to oppose. —Technology Wizard ·Contribs· ~Talk~ ·E-Mail·  02:27, 11/3/2011 
Tech, I am in no way biased in any situation. You are clinging still to the pokemon wiki incident in which you still believe that Jazzi blocked you and that I allowed people to say mean things about you in chat. The truth is that Crimson blocked you, it was Crimson's idea, he is the one who demoted you as well which was his idea as well. I did not allow users to say anything bad about you in chat. I have no control over what other users say and there has never been a rule against expressing how you feel about someone in chat. The rule is you keep it clean, you cannot swear or post vulgarity. Had someone insulted you and broken these rules, they would have been kicked but there is no rule about people expressing how they feel about another user in chat. In fact, staff have told me that the rules I enforce are too strict and that users should be able to come into chat to relax and say what they will. Also, IRC is a radically different environment to chat. You have never been in IRC and do not know how users act in IRC or how I handle my +o. I think in this situation your bias needs to be called into question. You obviously show a negative bias towards anyone who was around when you were demoted on pokemon wiki.--GodPray  02:39,11/3/2011 
Actually I am well aware about everything that happened on Pokemon Wiki, which has no case of being mentioned here imo. The fact that you just took the time to attempt to humiliate me says that you just aren't fit to be an OP. And regarding central chat, I have an image of it, so if you'd like to see it, please let me know and I'll be fine with showing you it, but not on this page since this isn't a page to do so. If you have any more concerns, take it to staff or to my talk page. Just because I didn't vote in your favor, doesn't mean you have to question it. I have seen your actions on multiple wikis and I am simply stating that I don't like your behavior and I don't think you should be an OP on the new channel. —Technology Wizard ·Contribs· ~Talk~ ·E-Mail·  02:48, 11/3/2011

  1. Support Support - I really don't buy either the immature or bad connection arguments, and don't see how they are relevant to whether or not he can kick/ban people effectively. He is a trusted user, and I'm sure that he'll be able to use the tools well. ajr 04:20, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
  2. Support Support - After discussion with Zam, he said he is an op on other channels and that his connection does not stop him from performing his duties as an op. It was commented below as to why he should be given op. THe philosophy many people seemed to be taking in this vote is the more the merrier. So why not Zam? Yes, he can be immature at times but I am sure that he can be serious when the time calls for it.--GodPray  23:58,11/1/2011

  • Immaturity can help keep things in a channel light, and stop one from ripping each other's head off from being to serious. As for my connection, if I know how to use the tools, why would it make me a bad op? 22px-Logo.svg.png22?cb=20160405123310 22?cb=20170831223041 02:31, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Jazzi

Support
  1. Support Support - Maturity used to be factor, but Jazzi seems to have control over this aspect at least in IRC. and hasn't used her +o negatively. I see no reason to take it from her. Rappy 01:52, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
  2. Support Support - Being a regular in a channel where Jazzi is an op, she knows how to use the +o and most certainly never abuses it. --GodPray  02:20,11/1/2011 
  3. Support Support - Handles both chatmod on central and op in the zeldapedia channel quite well. While some cases of supreme idiocy can get her fired up, these generally are only a problem when the user in question doesn't fall under any guidelines for removal (generally in chat, where COPPA bans are a sin). As the new channel is unofficial and we are able run under our own rules, I don't think this will cause any problems. I think she's more than qualified.  Monchoman45  Talk  Contribs  Skystone  12:25,11/1/2011

Even sannse complimented Jazzi's abilities and how she held herself when the same user started another vile, pathetic and immature campaign to smear her name!!

  7. Support Support Jazzi has definitely matured enough in the past few months to be able to handle this in my own opinion. She has not been bringing her personal issues on to wikia or the IRC for a long time, has a solid know-how of the IRC flags, and has experience with this before.

  1. Maybe calling it immaturity is bad wording, but I have issues with how she conducts herself when involved in a dispute. Ops should remain level-headed - I've seen and heard the exact opposite coming from Jazzi. A recent example would be around Tech's sysop flag on pokemon.wikia. Sorry, but I just do not have evidence to show that you would remain sufficiently uninvolved (avoiding a COI) in cases like that. ajr 04:20, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
    After further consideration, I'm removing my oppose !vote. While my concerns still stand, I think that Jazzi will be able to handle the tools well, especially after these concerns have been brought to her attention. ajr 21:56, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

    Per Xd, half of you have never been in the channel when I have actually been there. Yeah, you may be there when Jaz|away is on, but that's my desktop and I'm never on that. Secondly, Rayous, you have never seen me use any flags in any IRC channel, therefore you don't know if I'm experienced or not. – Jäzzi 13:14, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
  5. Oppose symbol Weak Oppose - I initially wasn't going to voice an opinion on this, since people have pointed out that Jazzi has improved significantly after events that occurred a year ago. However, going through my channel logs for #wikia, I remembered that Jazzi used curse words to refer to a person in the channel (Archduk3) during an argument that occurred as recently August 16th of this year. Regardless of the intent of her words, the cursing did heighten feelings of bad blood in a situation where calm discourse might otherwise have taken place. As a result, I'm not confident that Jazzi could interact professionally as an op during conflict in the channel. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 08:10, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps if you used the channel more often, you would have evidence of how I conduct myself. And considering what Tech was doing was straight up harassment and just digging at the points that push me in my personal medical life, I don't think it's a fair thing to judge by that. And in cases where I know I can't back down and take time to myself, I don't back down, but when there are other people and I know they can handle it better, I back down to take the time to myself to avoid the lashing out I can do. – Jäzzi 13:27, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

The fact is that, even without using the channel much, I know how you conduct yourself in difficult situations - and am not impressed by it. ajr 14:02, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
Actually, you don't know. And the fact is, you're going off of a time when I was being harassed and was under enough stress without the harassment. If you used any channel that I frequent, you'd actually know that I can handle difficult situations. – Jäzzi 14:12, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah you lack proof dude!! SunXia (Chat) 15:06, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Two things:

  • I do not troll, I have never trolled, and I do not have intentions of trolling. I have been trolled, I have had a month where trolling happened non-stop in a channel I used and we didn't have any flags to fix it. I would never troll as I know what it's like to be on the receiving end.
  • And Tech, I find the fact that you're still clinging onto what happened at Pokémon Wiki sad. Considering that you've never been in #wikia (as far as my knowledge goes, I've been without internet for the past week so I can't get on anything) before, you shouldn't be voting at all. And since you've gone completely biased against Godisme and myself, and the fact that it has been roughly a month since you've been demoted and you've yet to see me do anything, and not to mention that, again, you've never seen me use my +o and if you want think that I'm not controlling my emotions, and you think that I need to deal with situations in a professional manner, you need to realize that you would've been kickbanned from chat if I didn't handle situations in a professional manner and I couldn't control my emotions. Yes, I do have times when I get pissy, but to be completely honest, those haven't happened recently. And the fact that you're going so far as to be biased against Godisme and myself (and honestly, I don't give a damn, I just want to be able to use the channel, I could care less about +o, I just want my internet back), just proves that you're not able to get over and drop things.

And since it's predicted that my power won't be coming back until Monday and I'm using the internet that I have to edit and talk to friends, any further response from me might be short and far between. – Jäzzi 12:33, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I admit I haven't been very active on #wikia lately due to my other duties and simply that I don't feel a need to chip in on every discussion (I still generally read all contents of the channel from during my daytime and most of the night). Nonetheless, during this reduced activity, I'm still on top-10 per the channel statistics, ahead of users like Randomtime and Charitwo for example. I see where Godisme's comment comes from that he doesn't see me being active, as I usually come to the channel saying good morning, being followed by Godisme with "goodnight" (just like today).

I had something else in my mind about this but later I suppose. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 12:40, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I don't think the opposes per lack of participation are particularly fair. As he said GreenReaper's stats has him among the top 10 speakers. You'll also notice his hourly activity is high everywhere except for the 18-24 (GMT-5) period, which is the most active period for the people who are opposing. Also the suggestion of having some ops in the less monitored hours has been brought up a few times. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:18, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

I know I am not active at all on the wikis, but I am on IRC pretty much every day and have been for the past few years. I generally only join conversations that interest me, which hasn't been that many recently due to most of the conversations I see when I'm actively browsing IRC have been about help with various wiki things of which I no longer take part in. Hopefully once people start getting the idea that the new channel isn't ONLY for support, I can be a more active member of the IRC community (I must confess that I have no interest left in editing any Wikia wikis, at least for the time being). I have been an op in #wikia since 2007-2008 (don't remember when I first got it since I had it before the switch to atheme services) and most regulars would agree that I haven't really abused my power. I don't end up using it much because other ops happen to be faster to the punch than I am in terms of doing oppy-stuff because I generally try to have a more toned-down resolution of something rather than jumping straight to /kick. I hope you take this into consideration when voting, but ultimately it is up to you (the community here) and I will go with that. --Skizzerz 01:59, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with most of what you said and what you said above is actually why I oppose. You have no interest in editing at Wikia. You got your op when you were editing at Wikia and have since moved on to ShoutWiki (from what I understand). I am concerned that there will be conflicts of interest. I cannot say that I have ever seen you oper yourself in #Wikia in the year I have been here. That said, you have been active in a lot of disputes and in the channel before/during and after spam raids or when the need to /kick was there... (I am not saying you were 'physically there' as I cannot know that, but you were in the channel). I guess what I am getting at is, the entire year I have been in the channel, you never once used your status to benefit the channel... so I am curious why you still want access. Rappy 02:16, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
As with everything I am involved in, I try to keep them as separate as possible. At the time I was still involved with Wikia, I was also involved with StrategyWiki, which could have been technically considered competing with Wikia Gaming and similar wikis. However, I did my absolute best to not promote StrategyWiki when at Wikia, and not promote Wikia when at StrategyWiki. If you look at the few times that ShoutWiki was brought up in #wikia and I have been around (actively participating in chat), you may have notice that around 100% of the time I have directed the users that if they want to discuss ShoutWiki as an alternative for Wikia or whatever, that they do not do so in the channel. As such, while there is a "Conflict of Interest" (and I really dislike saying that because I am still interested in having the Wikia IRC community thrive) due to my involvement at ShoutWiki, I can't think of even one example where I have promoted ShoutWiki or sat back while allowing others to promote ShoutWiki on #wikia. Also, there have been a few cases where I have opped myself on #wikia this past year, and I can provide the logs of them if need be. However, I have many more examples of stopping stuff from happening or resolving something without having used my op access, which would probably not have been possible if those involved did not know that I could op and handle the situation less diplomatically should it escalate to that point. As for me being on the channel when things requiring /kick were happening, I'm probably only on the channel for an hour or two a day physically, the rest of the time is me leaving my client open and connected overnight or when going to class, etc. --Skizzerz 02:40, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
EDIT: I see I forgot to answer your question as to why I still want access. While I hinted at one of the reasons above, there are a few reasons why I think the IRC community here could benefit from me retaining my access. First off, there have been instances where I was seemingly the only op online when something was happening, and cases like this will happen increasingly more often the less ops you have. When there isn't any op online and something is happening, I feel that the community is being dealt a disservice because there were not enough volunteers to keep the channel patrolled throughout the day. Second, there is a philosophy on many wikis that you don't revoke access simply because one is inactive, as they may come out from under their rock in the future to become active again. While I have stated above that I have no intentions of being more active on Wikia proper as of now, that may change in the future. As far as IRC is concerned, I haven't really ever stopped being active, I've just been unable to contribute as much as I'd like due to the reasons I've stated above. Third, as you've said yourself you view me to be a level-headed individual, and I'm sure that many other regulars would also share your sentiment based on when I am actively participating in channel. Having more people like that in positions to put a stop to something spinning out of control can help resolve conflict in a way that hopefully does not drive anyone away from the community or cause excess drama, both of which negatively impact the community as a whole and can cause even more toxicity between the op handling the situation in a non-level-headed manner and the rest of the community. I hope that sufficiently answers your questions, and if you have any more feel free to ask. --Skizzerz 02:49, November 1, 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. Thanks. Rappy 06:02, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Like with Skizzerz, he's not very active, but has had ops in the last channel for years. He'd be willing to step in and help if no one else is around. In my experience with him, he's had good judgement and hasn't caused trouble. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:52, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'd rather see interest from Dantman about retaining his ops. Per Godisme, I was told by him "I'll help you if it has nothing to do with Wikia. Otherwise, I'm busy." Rappy 00:40, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

I'm arround at various times to be pinged if there's trouble. Wikia has screwed JS up here enough that I don't feel like dealing with the insane level of debugging needed to do something simple, and my bots are dead I don't even have the code for them lying around in easy access so naturally TagSync is dead, those are separate from the channel. And naturally I do have work I have to do, so while I have enough time to deal with a bit of trouble or can spare some time if you've got something interesting (and frankly I haven't seen anything interesting come out of Wikia for awhile) of course I'll say I'm busy when someone needs js help that's likely going to take real long to deal with and I have work to do. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks)Nov 8, 2011 @ 01:42 (UTC) 01:42, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

You'll most likely know him for doing the channel stats. Same with Skizzerz and Dantman, he's had ops in the last channel for years, isn't active but his actions are fair and he'd be willing to stay on if people trust him with the rights. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:52, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
