==[[User:ImperatorExercitus|ImperatorExercits]] for low-level op==
I, ImperatorExercitus, am making a request for low level op. During my time on #Halopedia, I have ''never'' gotten banned and kicked only a few times (the majority of which were simple misunderstanding). In addition, I have warned spammers, flamers, and "hit-and-run" vandals (that is, they say something offensive, and then leave). I am quite experienced with operator skills, as I have experimented and learned them on #gruntcorner. As for lag, I have recently gotten a new internet which is '''much''' faster, thus nulling the incident on Gruntcorner, which I now freely admit was due to my laggy internet. I often contribute to discussion civily on #halopedia, and am on good books (for the most part) with everyone. I've been on the IRC for several months (every day except on when my computer crashes/I'm away), for over 5 hours each day. So, I believe that I fit the standards and would make a decent operator! Cheers. Sincerely, {{User:ImperatorExercitus/sig}}

:Actually, I've been on for several months now; over five months, in fact. I've been more active in terms of conversation than anybody all day (there might be one or two exceptions). Therefore, I would be able to kick the vandals/spammers/flamers the moment I spot something wrong. Before, I've asked the op (who were inactive) to no effect. Then, I would have to sit it out, while the entire channel was filled with their moaning/shrieking/flaming. Cheers. Sincerely, {{User:ImperatorExercitus/sig}}

== Contact matters ==
Hi everyone,
My recent [[Halopedia:IRC Channel/Contact|contact status vote]] was declared successful and I have been acting as the #halopedia contact for four days now.
In this time, I have cleaned up the [[Halopedia:IRC Channel/Operators|channel access list]], instituted template groupings using the new atheme services, and removed old auto-kicks, to name a few. As many of you would have by now noticed, I have also revamped the on-wiki pages relating to the channel. The large, clogged [[IRC|main page]] has been replaced with several subpages, with a menu bar present on each of these.
The other administrators and myself are also discussing changes to be made to the [[Halopedia:IRC Channel/Rules|channel rules]], as well as the appointment of new operators (see below). I will keep you appraised on this page of any further developments.
Regards, {{User:Manticore/Sig}} 14:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:They have?  Huh --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 00:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
==New ops==
Recently we have seen a large number of requests for operator status. The administrators have discussed these, taking into consideration the on-wiki voting, and have decided to undertake a trial opping of [[User:Delta-269|Delta-269]]. We are also discussing a possible trial of [[User:H3|Halo_3]] following this. I have archived all other requests as unsuccessful. Thank you all for your interest, and please don't hesitate to apply in the future. {{User:Manticore/Sig}} 14:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I'm so far disappointed with Delta's trial opping. Frequent unecessary opping to "scare" people isn't what i'd personally want to see on the IRC, especially as that ''could'' adapt into using ops to threaten people in the future. Not only is it really annoying but it's basically showing off. Also, muting the channel because "no u" was said twice is extremely excessive, and then to be in an argument over it for so long was extremely annoying for the channel too. I understand Pryo can be a handful but arguing with him isn't helping. '''[[User:HaloDude|<font color="black">Ha</font>]]'''[[User talk:HaloDude|<font color="Red">'''lo'''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/HaloDude|<font color="Black">'''Du'''</font>]][[w:c:halofanon:User:HaloDude|<font color="Red">'''de'''</font>]] 21:44, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
:That was something I was doing as a joke, and plan to never repeat. The muting do to "no u" was because I know PZ and Imperator, and I could tell it would develop into spamming, as it has in the past. Also, you never mentioned the fact that I ''did'' manage to stop a spammer (with the nick a_BIG_HAIRY_****) before they were able do any kind of spamming. [[User:Delta-269|<font color="MidnightBlue">Дельта-269</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Delta-269|<font color="Red">Говорить</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Delta-269|<font color="Grey">Вклады</font>]]</sub> 21:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
::I wasn't present for the spammer, so I wouldn't know. Also, you muted without even asking simply for them to stop. Channel mutes, even when appropriate, always seem excessive, and this was the most excessive case I can actually remember this year. Pryo and Imperator may be hard to deal with (no offense to them) but a channel mute was a bit excessive and, in my opinion, used way too early in the incident. '''[[User:HaloDude|<font color="black">Ha</font>]]'''[[User talk:HaloDude|<font color="Red">'''lo'''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/HaloDude|<font color="Black">'''Du'''</font>]][[w:c:halofanon:User:HaloDude|<font color="Red">'''de'''</font>]] 21:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
::Actually, there were two lines of "no u" before you muted the entire channel; I said one first, and then Pyro Zarkum replied; I see that everyday in the IRC. Cheers. Sincerely, {{User:ImperatorExercitus/SigT}}
:That's true, but isn't it much better to stop an incident ''before'' it happens, and not ''after''? Also, as it was my first day, I was a little over-eager to prove myself as able to successfully use op commands, I won't be doing any other channel mutings anymore either.

::Stopping an incident ''before'' it happens isn't exactly best. This isn't Minority Report. On the IRC, stopping an incident when it happens gives you clear reason to act. Acting on suspicion that an incident is going to happen is, in my opinion, ridiculous, unless of course there's clear evidence something will happen.

:::I wasn't having a "premonition". I was acting off of knowledge of previous encounters between PZ and Imperator, there have been several times when their harmless "no u"-ing became a "no u" flooding-fest. So I was acting on the assumption that it would happen again, like it has many times.

:Whatever the reson, it was excessive and certainly annoyed the channel. A simple "Stop" would have been best, and you could act from there if the continued.

::::>.< I don't know about Pryo_Zarkum, but I've ''never'' said no u more than once in a row; I've '''definitely''' never spammed the channel with ''anything''. Please, base of something you've seen happening. Cheers. Sincerely, {{User:ImperatorExercitus/SigT}}
:::::Actually, I'd have to agree with you on there. I've never seen you spam, but I've seen you get a bit too into some arguments on there though.

:Premptive action should never take the form of actual operator action.  Premptive action should be in the form of warnings and comments, little else.  Yes, you *might* have prevented a spam fest that would have disrupted the channel, but you did this prevention by....disrupting the channel.  --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 04:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm most concerned by the fact that you think the most appropriate way to deal with two possible disruptive users is to mute the channel. {{User:Manticore/Sig}} 11:29, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:To be bluntly honest, before he was an op and there was some sort of commotion, he'd usually tell the present op/s to type /mode +m #halopedia and say how he would of muted the channel already if he had op because of some misunderstandings. Didn't think he actually would after ops that do mute the channel are usually bitched at by other ops and people, but eh..

== Subtank and EwCDnaudee419 ==
As we have done in the past, I'd like to suggest we give these two RfA candidates ops so that they can demonstrate their skills and aptitude for moderation to the community --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 03:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
:I'm fine with [[User:Subtank|Subbles]] having operator abilities, as she is relatively active on the IRC Channel and has shown her responsibility.
