| Time to give this another go.
| |
|
| |
|
| It's been at least half a year now since my last serious [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/MisterGame_%281%29|attempt]]. (I highly recommend reading it). Most of what I said there still stands. I haven't changed that much as a person since then, and if I would tell you about my history, or who I am I would be pretty much repeating my previous bid.
| | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
|
| |
|
| Ever since then I have continued my activity, in again most of the drama-prone areas. And drama there has been, some of which I was personally involved. Still I handled myself during those times well enough I believe. Again, referring to my old bid, experience in A/A, A/VB and A/M since 2008. I'll say what I think, directly and honestly. There have been some moments, especially in my troubled past, where I was a bit too compassionate leading me into (personal) conflicts but I put those times past me. I try to be open to criticism, but in the end the skill that I deem most important to have in drama sections, is the ability to get along with people you just had an incredible heated discussion with. To overcome each others disagreements is the key to any sort of harmony and respect needed in a community of any sorts. This issue was certainly something in the last six months.
| | !---> |
| If you want to compare me to the other sysops, I have somewhat common ground with probably...DDR (hope he doesn't feel offended now) minus a lot of (life) experience. Not because I necessarily always agree with him (I don't) but more in his approach of things. Moving on:
| | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
|
| |
|
| I chipped in here and there with some paper work contributions. Deletions, protections, created a policy (that was eventually shot down) fixing some stuff. However, as a janitor these things were mostly minor, and certainly not anything spectacular. I'll always do my share of this stuff, as regular user and as potential sysops, but I'm not going sugarcoat this, I'm nothing more then average as a janitor.
| | ==Recent Bids== |
|
| |
| Not much has changed, and you may ask yourself if that's good time considering my last bid failed. Well, I think I did actually almost nailed a promotion last time. Grown a bit wiser too. Not to mention my vandal history is now...history. My last infraction being in December 09, I think I have overcome most of my devious flaws. Still not perfect, never will too, but I think I can handle the job and responsibilities.

| *'''Question''' Why do you want to be a sysop? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 14:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| | ==Archived Bids== |
| *:For pretty much the same reasons [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Promotions&diff=prev&oldid=1745345 last time] around. I still would like a more prominent voice on the admin sections, curious how I would do it as sysops, be an asset to the team, and if won't work out likely demote/early re-evaluate myself. You may wonder why it took so long since my first attempt, and the truth is, I do too. Time has flown, and so much happened during that time both here and in real-life I guess lost track of my ambitions for a while. It was trouble finding a good moment too, but yeah here I am now. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 15:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

| *'''Follow up'''. How have you dealt with the issues raised in your last two appearances on this page? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 15:58, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| | *[[:Category:{{CURRENTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|This year's promotion bids]] |
| *:Two main issues I could find was lack of paper work/janitor/maintenance and some people (Like Boxy, but he wasn't the only one) were still a bit of worried about past mistakes (see vandal history, conflicts, zerg etc). I think I have firmly proven the latter to be a thing of the past. I handle myself better in drama, I don't think I have a conflict with anyone (right guys?), no vandal infraction in over a year, no cheating etc.<br>
| | *[[:Category:{{LASTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|Last year's promotion bids]] |
| *: As for the former, I tried to tackle it by doing more helpful tasks. I did some varied stuff but like I said, it's not my most exceptional quality. I don't consider that bad though, I have done a share over the months in pretty much in any section and I know how these systems work. Might need to pull the leeway card though. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 18:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| | *[[A/SA|Sysop Archives]] for older bids and related sysop activities |
| *'''Question''' - I've given off in the past about absenteeism (cf/General, Cheese). Do you forsee these absences being a repeated occurence or just relative one-offs? {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 15:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:Not entirely sure what you mean here. The General is unlikely to ever return after his demotion, (pretty obvious he was only here for the powers) as for Cheese, well, his absence was repeated at least once after his last re-evaluation. On his current evaluation I'm slightly leaning towards keeping Cheese to his promise by letting him prove his activeness as a regular user.<br>
| |
| *:As for the issue of absence itself, some people don't mind but some do. I know I do mind. If your inactive for a long period of time, then just demote yourself. If you're not here you don't need the powers. All that happens if you don't resign and you come back after months, you'll likely have missed important stuff, don't recognize the new faces, you got rusty, and generally lost touch with the community. Trying to carry on like that is asking for mistakes. While if you did resign, and you were truly a capable sysops this wouldn't happen. Example: Linkthewindow, great op back in the day, comes back and reacquaints himself with everyone, does a few tasks here and there, and goes up for re-promotion within 3 weeks. No problem, and the issue of absence doesn't play a role. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 15:39, 24 January 2011 (UTC) | |
| *::I meant your own inactivity - is it likely to continue, or is it pretty much done with? I was simply referring to the others to show I've a history of not tolerating it. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 16:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:::Oh! Well I don't think going up for promotion only to be inactive works, so yeah pretty much done with it. Also those 2 periods lasted 2 weeks? Certainly not months, and I actually still checked almost daily, it's just that I didn't had the time for discussions. If it ever came to something like months, I'd demote myself for that time period. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 18:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Against''' - Looking through your contributions of the last few months, you hang out a lot on the opinion pages, but do little maintenance. There would have been the perfect opportunity right now to get back into the janitorial stuff with [[The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2011|GSGM11]], ''which you completely missed'' but for adding some blank lines. A sys-op is a janitor first and foremost, an area you direly need to get back in to be an asset. Get your hands dirty for a bit and return then. Not a minute earlier. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 16:54, 24 January 2011 (UTC) | |
| *:Thanks for reminding me of that, there was something I wanted to do relating to the GSGM, namely moving a talkpage discussion which I [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AThe_Great_Suburb_Group_Massacre%2F2011&diff=1839314&oldid=1838796 forgot]. As for the actual work, this is a silly excuse, but before I managed to look into it, most of the work was done, and almost all group were contacted. Which is impressive, considering the thing started 2 days ago. But you're right, I'm haven't done too much maintenance. Like I said in my statement, it's a weak point. I can promise improvement, I'll certainly use protection and deletions powers, but that's not doing anything for my bid now, and you're free to against, but I wouldn't call it an all defying trait. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 18:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *::SE-3 and parts of NW-2 are still up for grabs. And I'd actually call a lack of janitorial activity an all defying trait for a prospective op, because maintenance should be 80+ percent of what you should do with your op buttons. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 18:30, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:::Not what I saw. NW-2 and SE-3 just haven't been claimed yet by respectively Mis and Maverick. I can try checking after two weeks and help with clean-up, but that's beside this discussion. Anyhow, you're right, you aren't always ruling, you'd be doing a good bit of maintenance as a sysops. But it's easier to protect and delete stuff, then it is to rule. Don't get me wrong, janitoring is hard enough work, taking patience and time. But it's not as easily learned as maneuvering through the minefields of A/VB and A/M. Precedence, understanding of rules, ethics, (im)partially, policy and of course conflicts, it takes a while getting your head wrapped around it. I guess I'm kinda the opposite of Vapor there. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 18:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

| *::::Fuck I can't read. Scratch that first bit, mistook the 2010 template for the one of 2011. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 18:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC) | |
| *As Spidey, except this is an '''Abstain'''. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 18:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Promote''' - I'm actually going to mostly agree with what spiderzed said. You should really get involved in the janitor stuff, as any active member of the community should. But I think it would be fun to see you mucking about in A/VB as I'm sure you wouldn't be afraid to go with your opinions there. Also if you're this committed to running for sysop you should be given a chance to show your stuff. Good luck to you, sir.--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 20:12, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - I wasn't ready to offer a vouch last time, but I am this time. Thad has been a constant and helpful voice in the admin sections for many months now. When he has an opinion on a matter, he isn't afraid to voice it, and he's capable of acknowledging when he misunderstood something or simply made a bad call, which are both absolutely invaluable traits. He doesn't disagree just for the sake of disagreeing, and has offered a lot of useful insight into various matters. His janitorial work could use some improvement, sure, but, I'd trust him with the admin section already, and we could use another voice or two on A/VB, honestly. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 20:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - See how he does on the job. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 21:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - Thad's a good guy. He knows what he's doing, and he's certainly restrained himself a lot where he might not have done a year ago. Brilliant example of a user who's reformed and is now the ideal sysop candidate; active, cares about the wiki, willing.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 21:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - Actiive member of the community, been around for a reasambly long time as well.--{{User:Michaleson/sig}} 22:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Voooouch''' - I mulled things over, looked at contribs and the old vandal cases. Seems like Thad has matured a lot and I think he can be trusted with the buttons. He speaks his mind and I respect that. He's active and has been active for some time now. I wouldn't mind at all having him on the team. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 07:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

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.
Example Application
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.
- Vouch - I am willing to vouch for this user. -- Voucher 03:41, 23 Jan 2006 (GMT)
- Against - Example User, I haven't seen any evidence of your work on the wiki. --Some user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
- Vouch - Example User is the most active guy here. --Another user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
- Abstain - I'm just not sure, but I don't want to say why for some reason. --Some other user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
- Question - I just want to know what you think about this subject? --Yet another user 21:26, 4 April 2013 (BST)
