Forum:Massive Chan-Oping

I have seen on the IRC that there are some inappropriate bans and idiots that spam the IRC. There's only one way to stop this, more chan ops. This is where you can add your name to be Chan-oped in the #swfanon IRC channel. Please only add your name if you think you are active on the IRC. When a user gets up to 10 votes, they should be given ChanOp status. 5 opposes, the users nomination is removed.

Voting for each user should take 1 week. --Arav the Undersith (Contact Me ) (My contributions ) 07:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Arav, you're not ready for this. True, you have improved since I first met you, but I don't feel that this is even necessary, and I'm voting purely because it's an election, and I don't believe you can oppose the whole thing. Arav, you haven't proven yourself, and so I don't feel you deserve this, nor need this. Ops isn't like candy; it's not handed out WONKA style, and it's there as a job. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 07:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I am not a admin, but you don't have to have a title just to be a IRC op, you need to be active. I might not be that mature in situations but I am willing to change. I really want to help the community. I KNOW I will receive backlash and many opposes for this, but give me a chance. People change. I hate the perception of me being some dumb, 13yr old kid that cant spell and will never change. I know, if I make this, my rep is going down the crapper, but I just hope that it might just change the perception of me. --Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 07:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think this is the best way to go about this. We don't need more ops to handle spammers/trolls, which are virtually non-existent anyway. I may change my opinion later, but for now, I'm going to remain neutral. –  JM ' 76 ' Ask Archives [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|18px]] 07:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

You're right, in a sense, but remember that you're probably (currently) the only active op who knows how to use such privileges. --Victor talk 08:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Eh, fine. But still, electing new users is a lot more hassle than training current ops. (*cough* Achmed *cough*) ;) –  JM ' 76 ' Ask Archives [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|18px]] 08:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Solus is not only mature, but has held down an official position. On the IRC, she's helpful and knows when to be serious and when to have a bit of fun. I believe she'd use this responsibly, when it's needed and not to abuse it. She's shown this before, and so I support her. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 07:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Arav, in your proposal you changed it to 5 supports to get op status, 10 to opposes to be "de-nominated"; however, last night on the IRC, we were referring to the reverse; 10 votes to gain op status, and 5 votes to get your nomination removed. You should fix it ASAP. --Victor talk 19:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

De-oping
With permission from Arav, I am proposing several people for removal to be removed from the Access list. According to both our old and new IRC rules, people who are/were not A. Wiki staff B. Janitors C. SWF Administration should not have ops on the IRC, for numerous reasons. Even former Administrators (such as myself) should not have ops without community approval. The main one would be lack of use in general, the second would be abuse. Now, I'm going to make it very clear, I'm not proposing that the users nominated here have abused their authority, this is simply a measure to ensure that the community has a say in who has ops powers and who doesn't. Because it is the Star Wars Fanon channel, after all.

Ops will be removed with 5 oppose votes. 10 support votes will allow the user to retain their ops on the IRC channel. People can be nominated by anyone, as long as they actually have ops on the IRC. Voting ends the same time as the main thread.

 * 1) The owner of this bot is no longer active on Star Wars Fanon, and so why is his bot still granted ops? Not only is this pointless, but it's open to abuse. Some Darthipedians, Madclaw at least, can kick people and grant himself ops through this bot, effectively being an op himself and, if this is abused like this, I think PinkyServ should be struck from the access list. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 07:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd like to point out two things about PinkServ` (also known as PinkyBot). First, it is automatically op'd when it enters the channel, granting almost any user the ability to op themselves on request. Second, it is a bot, which gives it special functions and what not (kicking and giving voice status, for example). Normally, the community would vote before bots of this nature, or any bots, really, are allowed on the channel. –  JM ' 76 ' Ask Archives [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|18px]] 07:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
