GTA Myths Wiki:Requests for Promotion

Positions

Rollback

Rollback (called Patrollers) can revert disruptive edits, monitor and ban users from the Wiki's chat and can remove forum posts. If a patroller spots vandalism, they report it to an admin. A user will also gain Chat Moderator abilities if their Rollback request is successful.

Requirements for Patroller:

• Be in good standing with the wiki with no blocks within the past month on your record.
• Have a minimum of 500 edits.
• Have been active on the wiki for at least one month.

Administrator

Administrators (admins) have the same abilities of a patroller, as well as the ability to block users. They can also ban users from the chat and have more editing capabilities, such as changing the Wiki's theme or accessing internal files on the wiki.

Requirements for Administrator:

• Must have Rollback abilities.
• Have a minimum of 750 edits.
• Have been active on the wiki for at least 2 months.

Bureaucrat

Bureaucrats are the most elite members on the Wiki. They have all the abilities of all other staff members combined, they can promote and demote users. Upon a user's request for Bureaucrat, a Bureaucrat-only vote will ensue which will stay open one week. All of the Staff and the community are barred from voting, but are allowed to leave a comment.

Requirements for Bureaucrat:

• Must be an Administrator.
• Have a minimum of 1,500 edits.
• Have been active regularly on the wiki for at least 6 months, but 1 year is preferred.

How to Apply

To Request for Promotion, simply edit this page and place your request under the Active Requests Heading. Take a look at some of the previous Requests under the Archive Heading to get an idea on how to format and present your case.

All requests remain active one week for voting and will be closed as inactive after said time. A request may be closed early if more than half of the staff has cast a vote and there is a clear answer. There may be only one vote per user. If a request fails, that user cannot apply again until a month has passed. A user who applies may not vote for themselves. Votes are counted at face value and are not subject to a percentage. This insures all get a fair say. You may also not delete your request in the active nor inactive sections.

Requirements

To vote or file a promotion/demotion request, you must have at least 100 edits, have been active for one month, and be in good standing with no blocks within the past month on your record. This isn't to discourage users from voting, it's to prevent Sockpuppetry, Meatpuppetry and ensure that Revenge Demotions are avoided.

Staff Positions Available

The GTA Myths Wiki has set limits to the number of users that may hold various staff positions on the wiki at one time. The current limits imposed are as follows:

• Bureaucrats - N/A
• Administrators - five (5) users at one time.
• Patrollers - six (6) users at one time.

Archives

If you are looking for old requests go to the archives page where you will find all of the wiki's past requests.

Active Requests

MattMythMaestro - Demotion

I'm sorry Sasquatch for doing this, but I got no other choice. I knew it'd come to a moment when I would have to ignore the bureaucratic decision once rather than argue on it. You did your part in the interaction ban, fine. I am doing my part that I should've done long ago. If you guys remember, I was the only one who knew a situation like this related to Matt would happen (if no one remembers, I got no time to make them either). I wanted him off the wiki last time, all went against me. And now? All are against him and what.........INTERACTION BANS?! Literally, I've seen enough and going this now. Since most of you already know the situation per se, I would like to request a demotion request against Matt for the community to decide, rather than asking Bcrat to.

Reason : If you don't know the reason, check Mantiix's req comments of Matt and check Matt and Ali's walls. You'll see both argued and turns out, Matt was intentionally raging on Ali and blaming him that all the Yes' in Mantiix's req were rigged intentionally by him because he provoked users.

• I have been following the recent events closely. Matt is a good contributor. His feud with Xalbador has nothing to do with his ability to perform patroller duties. - BiggestShip65 03:37, June 9 , 2016 (UTC)
• He was somehow correct about Ali rigging the votes in Mantas's req. -- MythHunter 007 ^Talk 06:18, June 9, 2016 (UTC)
• If you all think Matt is the bad guy here, maybe you should take a look in the mirror, despicable people who follow upon one's actions constantly. Mr. Ferrari ^(talk) 06:47, June 9, 2016 (UTC)

Inactive Requests

Mantiix - Administrator

Closed as Successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 12:00, June 8, 2016 (UTC)

Hey guys, I am Mantiix as most of you might know already. I was promoted to patroller six months ago and have accumulated 900 genuine edits with substantial other contributions with respect to the activity. I have apologized for the stuff that happened in the past and I am sure we aren't the ones who tend to live in the past. I think I might do more good to this wiki after being promoted to a sysop. So, I hope you guys vote for what's good for the wiki and I am always there for the wiki, with or without rights. Thanks and still proud to be a user here.

• You are a great guy, you meet all the requirements, and the spot is free. I don't see any reason why you would not be promoted. The Godson wuz here (talk) 15:09, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
• What has happened, has happened and I don't want to live in that, besides it has been months since the last incident and it shouldn't be dragged here. You're a trust worthy user and committed towards the wiki, fit all the requirements and there you go, a perfect candidate. File:Ghost pixel 1 by zombiepattyfag-d9c9wvw.gifAli Rocky: VC Myth Hunter 15:36, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
• I like your commitment to sticking around to right any past wrongs. As Slash said the spot is free and I think we could use another active admin after we're now short one more. - BiggestShip65 15:46, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
• I don't really know you too well so I actually have an unbiased vote. I checked your last 500 edits to find that only 76 of your last 500 edits (yes, I counted, it didn't take long at all) were on pages, all of the others were in message walls or forums. That means only 15.2% of all your last 500 edits were on pages. I don't think you'd be too suited to an administrative role at the moment. I can see you have improved your spelling and grammar massively which is very good to see because it shows you've put some work in since you got here. I think you'd be better suited to having content moderator and discussion moderator rights due to what you spend a lot of time on the wiki doing. I have nothing against you and I think you have improved a lot, I just think you should have a role that suits what you're doing on the wiki. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 18:29, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
• You're legit one of the less-credible users, I haven't seen you do anything apart from talk trash to Ferrari and be on chat 24/7, so as Vault said having you use content moderator and discussion moderator would fit you better, to be honest if you even get this vote, people are only voting yes because they have honest friendship with you. - MattMythMaestro 21:38, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
• I think Mantix is a good user and has been a pretty good contributor to the wiki. He has a deep passion for myths and is excited to continue to bring the wiki to greater heights. I would like to see a little more production by way of articles in the future though. Overall, I think having Mantix as Admin is a safe bet as he is well organized and is available often. --Sasquatch101 (talk) 23:48, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

One True Slash - Patroller

Closed as Successful by -- File:Ghost pixel 1 by zombiepattyfag-d9c9wvw.gifAli Rocky: VC Myth Hunter 15:36, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I am here since 2013, so I am experienced to the Wiki. I have recently reached 500 edits, which means I meet all of the requirements. Since my hiatus in 2014, when I came back in 2015's end, I became more active, and recently went from 180 to 500+ edits in just few months. I come on chat often to talk with other contributors.

Thanks.

-One True Slash.

• You've been a great guy since 2014, now you make it to the staff, not to mention your work for the infobox category. You've been one of the few lost editors from the past that can still make it to the top. Good luck! File:Ghost pixel 1 by zombiepattyfag-d9c9wvw.gifAli Rocky: VC Myth Hunter 16:35, June 6, 2016 (UTC)
• You are great guy, and good editor and worth a position for staff. You also meet all the minimum requirements. Wish you luck - Mantiix 16:38, June 6, 2016 (UTC)
• Your work during the infobox replacement rollout was greatly appreciated. With your help, infobox standardization across the Wiki will be that much easier. - BiggestShip65 16:42, June 6, 2016 (UTC)

BiggestShip65 – Patroller

_{Early Request for Promotion recommended by Xalbador Gliese 581C}

Hi. I’m new to editing on the Wiki, but I’ve been reading articles here for several years. We may not have spoken on chat yet, as I am always working on something when I am online.

I may be a few days early but I’d like to apply for a Patroller position. In my time on the Wiki I have replaced the majority of GTA IV and San Andreas maps and I have edited almost 160 articles, with nearly 50 majorly contributed to and over 20 entirely rewritten. In my first week I eagerly cleaned up all 5 articles in the Cleanup Category and soon began on Stubs.

I’m a perfectionist and a hard worker and I believe I have made enough of a contribution to justify my application here today. I would love to be part of the GTA Myths Staff and hope I can count on your vote.

Thank-you. - BiggestShip65

• I've been watching your edits these past few weeks and I've been thinking that you would make a suitable patroller. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 13:04, June 1, 2016 (UTC)
• I mentioned my views multiple times and yeah, you got my vote. File:Ghost pixel 1 by zombiepattyfag-d9c9wvw.gifAli Rocky: VC Myth Hunter 20:51, June 1, 2016 (UTC)
• I am not one of the most active users, but I saw some of your edits and activity. You can do the role of patroller effectively in my opinion. Myth(Please leave your threats here/Wanna Stalk?) 21:49, June 1, 2016 (UTC)
• Very active editor. Would be great for patroller. --Sasquatch101 (talk) 05:57, June 2, 2016 (UTC)
