This page is for users to request System Operator status. The act of user promotion is restricted to those with bureaucrat status, and as such users will need to request user promotion here. System Operators and Bureaucrats cannot assign promotions unless the request has gone through this page.
Guidelines for System Operator Requests
Users who wish to request System Operator status (and users who wish to nominate other users for System Operator status) should note that before they can be considered the following guidelines should be met by the candidate:
- Significant time within the community.
- We define this as at least 6 months since the candidate's first edit.
- Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
- Significant activity within the community.
- We define this as at least 250 edits in the past six months under the candidate's name.
- Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
- Prior interest in maintaining the community.
- We define this as clear evidence that the candidate is already performing maintenance tasks and taking leadership roles on the wiki.
- Desire to become a System Operator.
- We define this simply as indicating in the candidate's request their desire for the position (Note that if a person is nominated by another user, the candidate in question should note their acceptance of the nomination).
If a user is highly exemplary in one criterion, a certain amount of leeway may be given with the other criteria.
Once the candidate satisfies these guidelines, the user is then subject to a community discussion. All users are asked to comment on the candidate in question, ask questions of the candidate, and discuss the candidate's suitability for becoming a System Operator. This is not a vote. It is instead merely a request for comments from the wiki community. This will continue for two weeks to allow all users an opportunity to voice their opinion regarding a candidate's qualifications for promotion. After two weeks, the Bureaucrats are responsible for announcing their decision within a reasonably short period of time. Users may continue to add their thoughts until the Bureaucrats announce their decision. The current amount of System Operators running should not influence your decisions when voicing your opinion.
Once the two weeks are up, the Bureaucrats will review the community discussion and make a decision based upon it. The user will be notified of the status of their request, and will be promoted should it appear that the community is willing to accept them as a System Operator.

I've been around 3 months, and I've made to date 550 edits. As you can see [link here] and [link here], I've been in the leadership role attempting to create a new format for this page. I'd very much like to become a System Operator.

- Questions 1: Would you consider working on the game outline from your profile as a serious project? 2: what's your stance on making the suburban maps up to date?Parson Johanas 18:56, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- 1) Doubtful. Mr. Easton Ellis seems like the type to sue. 2) My only real bugbear with suburb maps is how they're so harman-friendly. The idea that "safe" and "dangerous" apply only one way is egregiously biased; to that end I did come up with an alternate colour scheme to sit alongside the current one but it was refused by the breathers. Frankly, aside from NPOV issues I think the level of information being kept up to date should be left as is; using information as a tool or a weapon has long been an interesting facet of play here and I'd be loathe to see an initiative started which might hamper that. Oh shit I'm starting to sound serious here FUCK YEAH I LOVE BOOBIES. 21:08, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
- Vouch I had an ulterior motive with the questions: to see if you can be serious when called for, you can, ergo, you have my support. Parson Johanas 23:21, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
