Forum:IRC Channel Contact

I'm going to make this brief and quick so we can get stuff rolling as soon as possible, so here we go. The Administration and IRC Channel Operators of Halopedia want to remove Manticore from his position as IRC Channel Contact on the basis of inactivity and as per the recent removal of staff proposal which passed.

That is why starting today, the Administration will hold nominations for the next Channel Contact. Unlike Requests for Adminship or Operator status, not everyone is allowed in at the beginning, and a lot of people you consider nominating will be inexperienced because of the guidelines we set forth. The rules and requirements for becoming the Channel Contact include:


 * 1) Presently being an Administrator and/or Bureaucrat on Halopedia.
 * 2) Presently having Operator status on #halopedia.
 * 3) Being active on the IRC channel regularly (i.e. once a day to a couple times each week).
 * 4) No large history of Operator/Administrative abuse on the channel.
 * 5) An expanded knowledge of the IRC, it's commands, and how it works.

Simple rules which the majority of Administrators on Halopedia are able to be nominated because of it. I, however, will request that nobody nominate me as I do not hold the necessary IRC inner-working knowledge to be able to effectively bring my skills as a productive Channel Contact. As the list of requirements are still quite heavy, I have taken the liberty of nominating all qualified users, others I may have missed may be added by anyone; each candidate may deny his or her involvement in the voting process. Each user is entitled to one single vote; sockpuppetry to boost one's favored candidate will entitle you to a length ban. All voters must be (or previously) an active IRC poster; if you're unclear if you have the necessary time-on-channel, then you likely aren't able to vote. Voting will end on April 28th at 7:00am PST.

Rawr,

Nicmavr (10/3)

 * — No offense to any of the other candidates, but Nicmavr is a great guy. I see him all the time on the channel, and he even made an anti-flood bot for the channel. --Colonel Grade One.png  General5 7    talk    contribs    email   17:17, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * - As per General, he's a great, responsible operator and has knowledge of the IRC I didn't think possible from a non-professional. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  17:43, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Nicmavr gave me the basic foundation of my knowledge of IRC. I would not have been nearly as effective during the waves of proxy spammer attacks if he had not given me that knowledge to build upon.  Smoke Sound off! 18:00, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * - As per above. Commander Silver Leaf.PNG Kougermasters   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  02:00, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Nubmavr 4 Contact! Sketch ist 02:12, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Shows amazing ability with op commands and has a level-headed disposition, perfect for the post in my opinion. - S.B.44   [Talk] |undefined 17:38, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Nicmavr is helpful and constantly active, providing aid to anyone who needs it. Showed me the ropes of the IRC and helped me out significantly with op commands for my other channel. B'L'AD E BANE Anti-Vandal 02:07, April 26, 2010 (UTC)Blade bane
 * - Although I have barely been on IRC, whenever I have graced it with my presence, I always saw Nicmavr there. Colonel DA,  Halopedian Administrator  11:57, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Why wouldn't I support Nicmavr, he's great on the IRC. 08:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * - Helped me with a lot of IRC related things. Colonel Grade One.png Col.  Snipes  4  50 Colonel Grade One.png 22:50, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Nicmavr has always been around for any questions I've had since I arrived here. Smoke and Subtank are great too, but Nic's been the best.  -- Spamhammer   "I reject your reality and substitute my own."  18:01, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Smoke. (2/0)

 * - He is the most responsible guy in there, no disrespect to the rest of course. - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 17:21, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Smoke is a great user and he's always working with the channel and anyone who needs help. When the channel was getting spammed, he did anything he could to stop it. Woot! ~tia (VGC)

Subtank (3/1)

 * — She's a great user, knows the IRC in and out, friendly, persuasive, and the best choice for the channel contact.
 * - Subtank has always been welcoming and friendly, which I believe above all is important for a role like this. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  11:46, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * - Sketch ist 03:00, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * - She is a great user, let alone administrator. - Scot 113 02:51, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
