GTA Myths Wiki:Requests for Promotion

Revision as of 16:37, 9 September 2016 by Boomer8 (Message Wall | contribs) (→‎Active Requests)

Template:RfP

Welcome to the GTA Myth Wiki's Request for Promotions page.

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 and Discussion 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 already have Rollback abilities.
  • Have a minimum of 1000 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

MHM - Patroller

After chatting with another staff on chat the other day, I decided to attempt to make a comeback in staff. Since I became admin and since resigning due to a demotion request put up on me with a majority of yes votes, I've made about 4 pages, wrote threads explaining my view on certain things. An example of this would be that recent thread on the casino and racetrack. I published a myth hunting guide for GTA V, and plan on making a second one for another GTA. I have experience in staff, and I have editing skills, it takes time to show those on a tablet. I don't solve problems with massive bans. I've only banned two people, one of which was unblocked (you know who you are) and the other one I unblocked after having chat on another wiki. To avoid stirring up any pests, I'm not commenting nor talking to you about this RFP. MHM, September 8, 2016

Comments

  • I'm just saying from my experience that you should stay as a Patroller rather than an Admin cause giving you Admin would be too much of a overstatement in the near future, so it's best to stick with Patroller and learn acting like one first. AwesomeBoy (contact) 08:22, September 9, 2016 (UTC)
  • Definite "No". You have been also caught on harassment, but IDK if it is somehow related. BTW, how is the Casino thread even related to you being "good"? Also "editing skills" is wrong. Why? look at your latest contributions. Also you are getting edits by only commenting on threads. Also your "skills" are bad. -Indep (talk) 14:16, September 9, 2016 (UTC)
  • You have been proven to be a valuable editor so I see no reason for this request to go through. ~~~~

Inactive Requests

Gunshow20 - Demotion

Closed as Successful by Mantiix (Contact) 11:23, September 05, 2016 (UTC)

He has been caught abusing his powers against Andrey. He got warned by me about this, but he deleted the thread with a reason "Autism". I have understood it as insult on me. He also spammed on chat after abusing powers, what got him kicked. Request is set up by Mant, Andrey and Indep. Vote away.

Comments

  • Well, considering he is constantly pestering around, spamming chat, etc, I don't think its suitable for Patroller, let alone applying for Admin. Mr. Ferrari (talk) 17:21, September 1, 2016 (UTC)
  • No staff member should abuse their powers. For this reason, Indep, you should have been demoted a while ago for doing this and the very fact you've also just done this shows that you probably don't have the maturity to hold a staff position. That's something to think about. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 18:24, September 1, 2016 (UTC)
    • He also did this too, but was never spotted by a staff member.--MythHunter 007 Talk 11:03, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
      • Demotion request on MHM was not for the block for nothing. It was a favor to the community and whole GMW, because as TFG said, he doesn't know basics of editing -Indep (talk) 15:02, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
      • Indep, you know you, Mantiix, and Andreyfd demoted him, and plan to turn on gun now. Honestly, I'm surprised your even a staff, due to your immaturity. KOO
        • I'm suprised that you are even trying something, with this sockpuppet, MHM --AndreyFD (talk) 16:44, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
        • AndreyFD,im not a sock, I just am saying what I think is true. User:King Of Odd
          • Funny, Myth hunting master also signs his messages with simply "MHM", rather than a proper signature, similar to how you just sign messages "KOO", rather than a proper signature. Mr. Ferrari (talk) 16:53, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
  • If is something he has done more than once, I would support this demotion request. However, this is his first time doing something like this so I think a demotion request is too much of a punishment. Boomer8 (Contact) 18:30, September 1, 2016 (UTC)
  • I can't see him getting demoted by a dumb request posted by dumb persons. Dear, B'crats you guys need to keep an eye on this wiki more often because firstly MHM was humiliated by them and now is Jim is on the edge of a demotion.--MythHunter 007 Talk 10:56, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
    • "Dumb persons" Grammar 10/10, you need to watch your language 007, we are "dumb persons" because You, MHM, and Gunshow got demoted.--AndreyFD (talk) 14:53, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
    • That's what you said, 007, was incivil. You should watch your language. Calling someone dumb just because of a request, doesn't make you smarter. Mant (talk) 15:15, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
    • Mantiix and andreyfd, I can say you to have no room to talk, because you two are just plotting revenge demoters. KOO
      • MHM, don't do socks. And the demotion was not for the block you done for no reason! Can't you understand this? And I know it's you, because you DON'T use source. You aren't doing signatures, which are easiest on "Source".
        • OK. I am outta here.--MythHunter 007 Talk 11:14, September 3, 2016 (UTC)
  • Under the basis of everything, I think it's pretty ridiculous that he has the cheek to return in the first place, avoid getting re-banned, trying to regain a reputation, and then regaining the ability to apply for staff positions, and yet he still messes around, spamming, constantly changing his avatar to something that several users were told to stop doing months ago. Sorry, but just because you regained this "reputation" of being a helpful, active user, it doesn't mean we can forget what you A) did in the past and B) are constantly doing now. It's a micky take. Monk Talk 18:31, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
  • Says alot when you almost get promoted to Admin, and the other week people are trying to witch hunt you out of staff all together. Can we stop with the demotions already? On the other hand, Jim has been caught pulling bans for nothing, spams etc. You get my vote. MHM, I like you, I really do, but stop with the fake account. Everyone knows it's you. --The Godson wuz here (talk) 11:49, September 4, 2016 (UTC)
  • This is shit, this is literal actual shit. Just cause this dude got a bad past that makes him the bad guy for even the smallest abusing of power done by him? I don't even get where the f*** all these unknown new users come in this. Happens everytime, we get a new user, and boom, another drama cause by one or the other shithead. I'm not gonna even vote, y'all pay for this shit. ~ AwesomeBoy
Closed as Successful. MHM voluntarily left. ~ Gunshow (T, E)

MHM - Demotion

I set it up not because he is my enemy, but for the reason, that he is worst user on GMW. He abused his powers against me for a thing, that anyone could do. You can block me or even report me to VSTF MHM for setting this request. Vote away - Indep (talk) 13:12, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

  • I don't understand why you're saying he should be demoted. If it's just something between you and him then you should settle it between yourselves, not with a community demotion request. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 13:24, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
    • Alright, now I understand. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 20:40, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
  • Honestly, I could write something large here, but the way he solves disputes (AKA mass deletions and banning) just makes me groan, and the fact that he considers Facebook messages an excuse to block is a great representation of his admin 'skills.' ~ Gunshow (T, E) 16:27, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
  • Not only does he find the tiniest reason to block users, as Gun has said, but he also doesn't know the basics of coding, and can't create a page properly. He edits on a frikin tablet, doesn't have proper access to a computer, which is essential for Wikia, and is constantly closing threads on other people's walls without permission. I can't understand how he became Admin in the first place, he hasn't got Admin qualities, not fit for them anyway. Mr. Ferrari (talk) 18:40, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
  • Ferrari, Its not my fault I have to use a tablet. Gun, I don't solve problems with mass bans. Ali was right. Almost no one here cares for me. Say goodbye to me. MHM
    • Case in point. top kek. ~ Gunshow (T, E) 20:38, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

TheIndependent40 - Demotion

Closed as Unsuccessful by Boomer8 (Contact) 20:04, August 22, 2016 (UTC)

was alerted of a message independent sent a user on Facebook. The user contacted me in chat and showed me three images, of independent making fun of me. I blocked him, and it was suggested i post a demotion request.

  • Honestly, I've never thought that Indep has been fit for a staff position, and some of his actions during his time with rights have backed this up. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 22:32, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  • I don't really see how this is makes it necessary for a demotion. I mean, it was a private conversation that wasn't even supposed to be seen by anybody. User:OriginalSkin1969 (Talk) 22:55, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  • Demotion's are performed when it involves racism, or the wiki is in danger. I don't see how this poses either. My decision is also based on two of my own wiki's chat guidelines. While Independent hasn't got the best of reputations, it certainly doesn't call for a demotion just because of what he said outside of the wiki. If it becomes a problem within the wiki, it wouldn't just be a demotion, it would be a block. The rules of the wiki apply to the wiki, and not Facebook. Monk Talk 23:25, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  • As said by everyone else, it's a Facebook chat, and even worse, it's a Facebook chat with no context or even any proof that it's Indep at all. You can't just cherry pick 1 or 2 quotes from a convo and expect that to fly. And it's not like Facebook messages could be manipulated anyway... ~ Gunshow (T, E) 01:17, August 22, 2016 (UTC)
  • Doesn't seem like a big deal. --Sasquatch101 (talk) 04:31, August 22, 2016 (UTC)
  • Everyone has been either attacked or abused somehow online, but I think a demotion on this one isn't necessary, if this was done on the MW chat it would probably be a different story, if they continue to abuse or harass you, block them on Facebook and contact their help services, but I do know how you feel, ups for you to not contributing back. - JakVenomHD (talk) 04:38, August 22, 2016 (UTC)

Gunshow20 - Patroller

Closed as Successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 11:10, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hey all, I am Jim and I am running for the patroller position.

It should be obvious by now that I am way overqualified for this position. I have more edits than most of the current active staff, and I achieved this in a short amount of time. On this wiki in particular, I have a lot of history in staff experience as I served in the prestigious Bureaucrat rank for over one year, which I learned a lot about staffing and keeping a wiki active. Speaking of activity, I am active on this wiki every day, and when I am not editing, I am checking out Wiki Activity to see what's up on the wiki. In fact, I have reported about 3 or 4 vandals to the admins, which is the primary goal of the patrollers. I have exquisite grammar skills and can turn a minor myth into encyclopedic quality, as well as skills in Wiki and CSS coding. I believe I am professional enough to join the GTA Myths Wiki staff, and uphold it's reputation. --Gunshow (T, E) 05:04, July 27, 2016 (UTC)

  • Well, there's absolutely no crux in turning down this request, absolutely not. You've relatively worked hard for the wiki although it was certain at a stage that you won't get a shot but that didn't daunt your efforts which somehow describes your dedication towards the wiki, just like any old school veteran. One should ponder over future circumstances since GTA VI is probably in a very uncertain oblivion, hopefully, with your addition, we'll never stop and will surely hold this wiki upto the adequate standard and regularly updated. I mean, there was a vision that all of us, all retro members would once again work and somehow, we are back again, I think time is grateful to us but who knows what will strike soon, so we must be prepared as an invincible wall. A dignified friend but above all, loyal to the wiki. There's a long long way from now, for all of us, this might be a start of a journey and a new era. I hold the view, that you deserve even better and good luck to you, Jim. File:Ghost pixel 1 by zombiepattyfag-d9c9wvw.gifAli Rocky: VC Myth Hunter 05:08, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • I am skeptical of reintroducing you back into the staff, as you have proved that you can be toxic at times. But I do believe that you genuinely care about the wiki; and you have put in a lot of effort and time into improving it. So I'm open to the idea of promoting you to patroller. Let's see what happens. Boomer8 (Contact) 07:50, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • You are sufficient for the patroller position, no doubt.  - Mantiix July 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • As with Boomer, I think you've proved your capable. Please don't f*ck it up though - seriously. You've proven you can be a danger, but I really think you've made up for it, your recent contributions have been excellent and in general, you have been really helpful. You're a great guy once you get talking :) Monk Talk 20:17, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • I think Jim would make a good Patroller. --Sasquatch101 (talk) 00:41, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Mantiix - Patroller

Closed as Successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 21:17, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I'm Mantiix and you all already know me. I was a staff member before and was demoted for right reasons. After that I changed from a immature to mature user. I edited a lot on this wiki and I'm nominated for the user of the month, my edits showed how I care for the wiki and that I'm always for the wiki with or without additional rights. I have 3000+ general edits and 1100+ article edits. I cleaned label categories, added a bunch of infoboxes, map locations, photos, fixed grammar mistakes and created new articles. I think I'm ready for this position, thank you. - Mantiix 15:51, 24 July, 2016 (UTC)

Monkeypolice188 - Patroller

Closed as Successful by Boomer8 (Contact) 02:40, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Hey there. I'm Monk, you've probably heard of me by now. I'm pretty active here, and always check recent discoveries (but only really comment on ones I'm interested in), though I'm not that well known for myth hunting. I am mostly known for my community-based input here, as well as my massive Infobox revamp a few months back, which revamped the style of infoboxes and the consequent consistency of such. I am applying after being recommended (and subsequently backed up by the opinions of others to this suggestion), and hope to bring a good community-based system to this wiki and maintain peace and the ability to continue myth hunters for others without having drama as a distraction here.

Please go ahead and place your votes. I'm open to criticism (lightly, jeez), and I don't mind what your vote is. Monk Talk 16:51, July 8, 2016 (UTC)

  • Considering you can barely even use a signature on this wiki, only ever comment on pages rather than edit, and do things like this (it was once a page), I really don't think you're worthy of being staff here. Mr. Ferrari (talk) 06:33, July 9, 2016 (UTC)
    • A random joke article he made on a wiki that is compeltely unrelated wiki a while ago is hardly a reason why someone is not be a good staff member, but whatever floats your boat. --Gunshow (T, E)

  • I don't think there is any need to demote a user who had just recently been placed in the inactive staff last month. I'd prefer to give him a little more time to decide if he wants to continue his job here, considering the amount of edits he has put in here. Boomer8 (Contact) 01:15, July 6, 2016 (UTC)
  • We've given him enough time to get online. Sources show he has been online on Facebook a few days ago, proving that he is just neglecting his position here. Bcrats have kept him in the staff roster since ages and this time he won't get away for sure. AwesomeBoy (contact) 03:18, July 6, 2016 (UTC)
