Shouldn't Manticore also be listed in the Janitor operator section as well?Bllasae 03:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * No... -- Manticore   (talk)  07:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Most senior position listed. While Janitors are higher across Wikia, on individual wikis, they are below Administrator.  Admins decide the course of their particular wiki, janitors just clean up the crap. --forgottenlord 02:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Request for Low-level Op on IRC
I, Spirit-of-HALO, would like to request for Low-Op on #halopedia. Pertaining to Grievous's reason, I'm usually there when there is no one Opped. I would like to better the IRC channel by, at least, keeping order and helping other users. I have asked RelentlessRecusant on this term and said he would discuss with me. Thank-you for your time.

I don't see why not! Pryo 'Zarkum, TawkWorkStory 00:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I know you try your hardest and I see that, but IRC is a medium where communication is absolutely a must for moderation - some phrases that seem offensive might not be, sarcasm may, at times, be difficult to detect, and the oddities of the particular language mean that you might miss something that needed to be caught or caught something that should've been let go. Your limitations with English make me unwilling to support your candidacy. --forgottenlord 02:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Although Forgottenlord may be correct, we always have a user or four that could tell whether or not operator actions are needed, and alert him. So I see no reason why not to allow him op status. Lieutenant  Vatz  "My COM Network""My Work" 01:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Blemo
I am requesting for low-level again, if I already didn't have them removed, because my last operatorship was only a trial for my RfA. Since I cancelled my RfA, I'm pretty sure that my trial is up, I would like to "renew" it. I have been on the IRC for nearly a year, had three months of experience of moderating #halopedia, and I am very fluent around the channel. I am very well aware of the changes in IRC policies and I frequent the IRC every single day I find a computer. Please take this into consideration.

Thanks,

Ahax for op!
I'm pretty sick of having to sit and watch spammers, flamers and noobs piss people off while theres no ops on. As anybody who frequenst IRC now will tell ya, I've been pretty mature as of late, I haven't been kicked for months, I've been a good little boy.

Though today was the last straw, a invasion of noobs and spammers this afternoon, with them forcing actual halopedians who were chatting in there off, I had to ride it out as no ops or janitors were on.

I'll tentatively support this candidacy on a short leash. I'd be more comfortable if your fellow members of HaloFanon indicate that there have been a minimal number of problems on that wiki. My biggest concern is your temper which I find is rather short and I've seen you crave kicks when it was merely someone annoying you. That said, I haven't dealt with you significantly since I came out of retirement so....yeah --forgottenlord 18:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Halo_3
I am requesting to be a low-level Op on #Halopeida, I am normally on at times that there is not any Ops on, and I am a constant user on the IRC. I also believe that some of the stuff that happens while an Op is away is outrageous, or just the stuff that some Ops let go is amazing. I am also going to be Homeschooled next year so I can be on for most of the day. H3Fear Me, or else... 01:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm on the fence on this one. On one hand: You are mature during situations with spammers. IE. Warning then attempting to contact an admin and not joining in with the spammer. And on the other hand: You have a bad history with arguments with users and OPs. I'm not going to act holier than thou, (I've had my spats with the way the OPs ran the IRC many times) but that may affect the final decision of your opping.

I'm also on the fence for this, I agree with Grievs, you are mature and serious enough to handle the responsibilities, but there have been several occasions were you have lost control to the "shenanigans" of the channel. All in all I have to say that I support your request. Lieutenant  Vatz  "My COM Network""My Work" 01:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just saying; could you use ie instead of IE, as that's one of my nicks. ;)

1/2 I have to agree with Grievous on this one. You are very observant and vigilant, constantly alerting operators when they are not paying attention (because of them are cheap. *rimshot*). Even if I do know several other users that deserve op status more than you do, that doesn't have to interfere with your "operation". -- Blemo  <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="#A9A9A9">CONTRIBUTIONS • <font color="#A9A9A9">EMAIL • <font color="#A9A9A9"><span style="font-weight: light;" title="Idiot.

Weak Oppose I don't deny that people can change and I haven't been on IRC enough to be able to evaluate your behavior now - those are far from the reasons for my vote. My vote is because I was last active on IRC from late April through late May and I recall incidents from that time period. Two months to turn over a new leaf is not, IMO, sufficient time to be satisfied with someone being given ops. We don't tend to give ops to users who've been here less than 3 months (I know, I got it within 1 but that's beside the point), I'm not sure we should be giving it to someone who's got a history and has had less than 3 months of good behavior. In a few months, I'd have no problem with this nomination if several users and ops indicate your nose is still clean. --forgottenlord 17:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not know what you are talking about for most of May and some of April I could not get on much due to Finals, if you are referring to the GPT thing, that happened almost over 5 months ago, and nothing has happened since then.

-- My interactions with H3 have been mostly positive, and I have been continually impressed with his knowledge of the rules and his ethics in enforcing them. That said, that can not ablate some considerable personal conflicts he has been involved in within the past few months, and the occasional burst of immaturity. I am willing to support his operatorship if he agrees to be intensively reviewed for the beginning of his operatorship, and his status will be removed in the event of any serious wrongdoing. As a whole, though, I am impressed by H3. Warm regards,  RelentlessRecusant  (Bureaucrat) (Talk) (Contribs) 17:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

That is probably a problem with your computer - an anti-virus program conflicting or bad settings for the IRC client. I'd recommend looking for an IRC support group as that's probably well beyond the experience of most of the users here --forgottenlord 20:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Delta-269
I've been talking about this for a while, and I'm finally doing it. I'm requesting operator status on #halopedia. I have experience with the operator commands on the channels #gruntcorner and my personal channel, ##deltahangar. I'm on IRC most of the day on most days, I'll only not be on if I go on a trip, or if my computer explodes (unlikely).

 * I only do that because you can get kind of annoying on the channel, and, not to point any fingers, I barely kick/remove you anymore. Also, #gruntcorner has no rules for kicking or banning. I haven't kicked you in a month. So please, reconsider your vote :) <font color="Olive">SPARTAN-G156 <font color="Red">COM Channel <font color="MidnightBlue">Past Battles <font color="Black">My History 02:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Just because GruntCorner doesn't have any formal rules about kicking doesn't mean that there isn't a limit to what is considered appropriate nor does that mean that actions within GC shouldn't be counted against you. In truth, one of the largest problems we've had is attitude from our ops and admins in the past.  A place like GruntCorner shows us what sort of attitude you bring to those kinds of powers.  CR, who owns the channel, rarely (if ever) plays with the kick button - it is very rare that you are kicked and unable to figure out why.  Hearing the word "barely" sets off plenty of alarm bells and makes me wonder just how many of those kicks are justified....and how many of them are just you either goofing off or letting a temper get to you. --forgottenlord 07:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It's true I act immature on #gruntcorner, but when I'm on #halopedia I'm as mature as I can be all the time. And, the only times I kick are at times where I'm either very annoyed be the person, if they're flooding. Recently, in the past month, I've rarely kicked anyone as goofing off. <font color="Olive">SPARTAN-G156 <font color="Red">COM Channel <font color="MidnightBlue">Past Battles <font color="Black">My History

Just because people use mibbit doesn't mean that person should be kicked. It's not their fault if they have lag.

I have never kicked anyone due to them having Mibbit. That is fairly idiotic to suggest. I simply, on a channel with no rules, banned Mibbit, then unbanned it the next morning. I would have unbanned sooner, but my parents made me go to bed. You were the one unnecessarily kicking me for "flooding" which never occurred. As for the "banning me for a few days", I never ban anyone on #gruntcorner for more than a few hours, they only last longer due to me having to leave for a certain amount of time. <font color="Olive">SPARTAN-G156 <font color="Red">COM Channel <font color="MidnightBlue">Past Battles <font color="Black">My History 12:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ahem....I only kicked you because you were flooding. In fact, you filled the whole channel with some joke. I (and the others on the channel at the time) warned you several times before I kicked you the first time. Then, you continued and I kicked you again. And that repeated several times. The last time I kicked you was because of lag. Even though you stopped, my computer kept spouting things several minutes late (because of it being on mibbit). Therefore, I kicked you. Even I explained what happened, though, you banned me.

 * Actually I was not flooding, your IRC client, Mibbit, was lagging severely. For me, and everyone else, I had stopped saying that log five minutes before you kicking me. I had no control over your clients lag, so warnings were useless. Also, screaming "STAWP" several times is NOT a warning.
