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).  

{{Support}} Seems to have a good understanding of the rules. Has good humor and is on good terms with nearly everyone on the channel to my knowledge.

{{Neutral}} Reconsidering the vote I made. Maybe Delta wasn't attacking... maybe it was FL4 and that irssi script thingy he did... DARN YOU LINUX, AND YOUR USER-MODIFIABLE SETTINGS!

::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. --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 07:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

:::::My point is: while there might be things on GC that aren't ok on HP, it is concerning to see someone use that as a justification.  No, I would never test a user on his ability to moderate on GC, but someone who acts like a dick on GC I would be fairly hesitant to support for ops on HP.  That said, I don't vote unless I see clear evidence of either a person having good moderation skills or poor member of the community - rather I raise questions about arguments and reasoning made. --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 14:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:::If how he acts on GC is going to affect the possibility of his op status in #halopedia, then you might as well take away my ops and James' ops too, cos you've seen how both me and him act in the channel. James with his crimping/animal camouflage (XD) stuff. Then you have me going on about whatever, like calling the Easter Bunny a bastard for not giving me chocolate on Easter. Yet both of us can control ourselves in certain channels and what not and act how we should, and it seems like Delta can control himself too, we just have our moments. All GC really does in my opinion is some people learn is some of the IRC commands cos nearly everyone who joins gets ops.

{{Support}}--I've chatted with him on the IRC, he's "changed" for the better (right, Delta? =P), and he's been mature enough, warning spammers, vandals, and flamers. Just, as a generality, don't use the banhammer as much as the kickstick if the kick does the job. Good luck. {{User:ImperatorExercitus/Message}}

{{Oppose}} Sorry Delta, i think we have enough op's, plus you arn't the most responsible person i've seen on the channel, and on other channels you do abuse your powers.- ONI recon 111

:There was actually an idea by one admin at one point that it might be desired to have as many as 5 ops at any given time on the channel.  We're not really looking at number of ops to make our decisions but rather the quality of the user himself.  I think it would be appreciated if you made your vote solely about the quality of the user and let the admins make their decisions about staffing levels --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 14:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:Though this is disturbing, (many instances of humor are) I would have immediately ceased if someone complained that the jokes were disturbing them. No one told me to stop and/or lay off. I figured the users that were online at that moment were mature enough to handle the usage of diction in the messaging. Also, a message personally to you, Halodude, before you judge my character, is that ChurchReborn found those jokes very humorous and funny.

{{Oppose}} - Entire joke category is considered to be questionably funny based upon how comfortable individuals are with the subject matter.  Add on that half of those jokes were pedophilia in nature.... I don't think there's a way you can claim you didn't know that they easily could've been offensive to a good segment of the community.  That's just plain common sense - a trait I'd hope any moderator to have.  However, at the very baseline, we expect moderators to know the rules, uphold the rules, and LEAD BY EXAMPLE in following the rules and those jokes are technically against the rules - Inappropriate Content, subitems 4, 5, 6, and 10. --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 03:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

==Spirit-of-HALO for OP==

I would like to run again for Op (Low status that is). Since I started Homeschooling, I have lots of time to be on there. And yes, I'm probably the only one there that can remember the rules (at some points), many people do. I "may appear" immature, but I'm just there to have fun, help, and what not. When it comes to rules, I'm "Hard".

{{Oppose}}-- Many others spend at least '''five''' hours on the IRC. Normally, I spend the entire day on, and yet I ''never'' see you on, save one or two instances without any significant instances. Also, strictness is not always the best thing; adhering to the rules is.. {{User:ImperatorExercitus/Message}}

{{Oppose}}- As a past vandal/spammer/sock puppet, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could hurl you. That and you not on often as you seem to claim. [[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 17:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

{{Oppose}} - Epic hell no. Hasn't had the experience, can be frustrating at times, and is barely on. It's like everyone who's been on the IRC for a day or two wants Operator rights these days.

:::Really? I haven't seen you take any leadership roles on the channel as a Regular user, like many Operators have done in the past, and is more or less the standard norm.

Hi everyone,

Regards, {{User:Manticore/Sig}} 14:41, 29 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.

::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.

:::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.

::::>.< 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}}

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)
