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,

- Relatively good support (2 out of 5) for Internet Explorer!! Although I have the assumption that we have enough OP for the #halopedia channel (We need some for #halo-fanon!!), I'm guessing having another one should bolster the defence...wait... that doensn't make any sense ... oh well...relatively good support!! :P Little _ Missy -  19:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

- Just because you "Opposed" me doesn't mean I'm going to do that to you out of spite. Besides, you're easy to talk to. :P Gunnery Sergeant  Matoro3311  |   17:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * When I opposed, I only meant that you should spend a little more time on the IRC and warn spammers, vandals, and flamers a bit more. Otherwise, I would also support you! =D Cheers.

- Yeah, I really don't see you as operator material...  Ha <font color="Red">lo <font color="Black">Du <font color="Red">de 20:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 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,

Contact matters
Hi everyone,

My recent 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 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 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 channel rules, as well as the appointment of new operators (see below). I will keep you appraised on this page of any further developments.

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 Delta-269. We are also discussing a possible trial of 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. 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.  Ha <font color="Red">lo <font color="Black">Du <font color="Red">de 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 i 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. <font color="MidnightBlue">Дельта-269 <font color="Red">Говорить<font color="Grey">Вклады 21:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

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 --forgottenlord 03:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with Subbles having operator abilities, as she is relatively active on the IRC Channel and has shown her responsibility. However, EwCDnaudee419 never appears on the IRC, and I mean that literally. So, basically, for Subtank, and  for EwCDnaudee419. Cheers.

 * He has a point, I really don't. IRC is annoying for me and I know how to show Authority if this is what this is about, I am an Admin. on two other sites. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee <font color="Purple">Battle Net<font color="Green"> My Editcount 16:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Heh, I'm not saying that I oppose your RfA, it's just that you've never been on the IRC. To be honest, the fact that he's an administrator already proves that he's probably responsible to be an admin here. Cheers.

 * Well you haven't voted yet and honestly SHE isn't the only one who is an Admin. on other sites. Just because I'm not on IRC all the time doesn't mean I couldn't handle something like this. The point is I was trying to say that I know I'm not on IRC a lot, its only because I don't like it and I would never use these powers given to me. I was agreeing with you, but I don't want things to look/sound like its something beyond my capabilities. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee <font color="Purple">Battle Net<font color="Green"> My Editcount 17:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Blarg...I just changed my point of view when I said, "To be honest, the fact that he's an administrator already proves that he's probably responsible to be an admin here.". I was referring to you, not Subtank. Don't worry, I know that Subbles is a female. ;) Cheers.
