| Hello. I would like to apply for the position of system operator. Please take your time to read my motivations and consider voting for me.
| | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
|
| |
|
| On this wiki, I am known as Generaloberst. I'm almost 20 years old and an ethnic Dutchman. I'm a person with a very wide interest in the world. While most people are only interested in one thing, or a small range of things, practically everything in this world interests me. Art, language, politics, medicine, computers, sports, nothing escapes my curiousity. I am rational, inquisitive, evaluative and very free-thinking. Also, I'm always calm and neutral. My IQ is 130.

|
| I graduated high school on many beta subjects (chems, psychics, economics, math, etc). The alpha subjects I have learned through selective, unremmiting self-study; yes, I actually do speak 8 languages (within 3 alphabets). Furthermore, I have knowledge of the computer languages HTML and C++, which I've worked with for a gamestudio on professional level. Right now I'm in university (I'm studying management). Though there is enough time left for me to be active ingame (I've been active since 2009) and on this wiki.

| Hey guys, I’ve decided to put myself up for the position of system operator. I’d like to take this chance to tell you what I’d do if I was promoted and also get the chance for ever valuable community feedback.

| '''About Shortround''' | | *[[A/SA|Sysop Archives]] for older bids and related sysop activities |
| | |
| I’ve been around for about 3/4 months and I’ve been trying to help out wherever I can. I deal with a large proportion of bots that come through and also do some other things like cycling of various pages and sorting through suburb news and danger-reports where necessary. Basically just janitorial stuff, although I’ve expressed opinions on things where I think it’s been necessary and where I’ve had a valuable opinion to share. My resume isn’t quite as impressive as some of the current or past sysops here, but in the current climate I think that I’m a viable candidate for sysop, which really gets to the issue of what I’d be doing.
| |
| | |
| '''What would I do as Sysop?'''
| |
| | |
| As sysop I’d handle all of the meaningless janitorial stuff I’ve already been doing, but with the capacity to actually go through with it. We’ve had a couple of instances recently where bots haven’t been handled immediately and there have been a few move requests and other tasks which have been left standing for a while. If you make me sysop I’ll deal with those things. Why? Because my job is boring and rarely requires me to be doing things so I often browse the web and mess about. This could be a way to change that in to productivity. I’d also fulfil the other functions of a system operator when necessary, but at the moment we don’t have that much to do in the non-janitorial areas of the wiki such as vandal banning. Even while there, I’d take a detached janitorial outlook on the cases wherever I could.
| |
| | |
| '''Why would I be a good sysop?'''
| |
| | |
| Well, this is really an issue of personal opinion. I know some people like dynamic system operators who make bold statements and do daring stuff, but I think there’s a solid case for the other kind, who enjoy themselves but at the same time deal with a large body of work and have the experience needed to keep the wiki ticking over. That’s the kind of sysop I would want to be. If you think that’s what you would want in a system operator, then vouch for me. If not, you probably shouldn’t. :)

| *'''Vouch but no promotion''' Only because we've, as you noted in the edit summary, got so absolutely little going on. Never a good time to be promoting people when there's nothing going on. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 20:36, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Abstain''' I've never dealt with you at all, so I can't say one way or the other. But you seem ok and make an interesting case for sysopship. But Karek is right -- there isn't anything going on worthy of considering much of anybody for promotion. There is plenty of janitorial work that doesn't need special access to do. Personally, I think that if you have that much slack time at work that you're considering this, I'd recommend a good online grad school instead. [[User:Asheets|Asheets]] 20:51, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Abstain''' - There is some promise in your actions, but we haven't seen much of you, especially given how slowly the place runs right now. Give it a few more months before you re-apply. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 21:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC) | |
| *'''Against''' ...i saw this coming when he immediately started kissing ass / sucking up / brown-nosing. {{User:Son of Sin/sig}} <small>22:28, 14 March 2012 (UTC)</small>
| |
| *'''Abstain''' - While I've not been editing, I've been lurking sufficiently in the background to know that we've got more sysops than we actually need at the moment. I doubt it's going to pick up much, the game as a whole has been winding down for the past couple of years, but it may do so towards the summer. Try again round about then. -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 22:39, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Weak Against''' - He's done well so far, but I think he needs a bit more experience before being promoted. --{{User:Armpit_Odor/dnsig}} 22:50, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - I think, at this point, a promotion would allow you to continue developing yourself as a member of this wiki. I trust that you, should you be promoted, will be neutral and will continue to be active. It's what this wiki needs. As a last input, I have a question to Spiderzed. Why do you vote "''Against - too little activity''" when Revenant was put up for re-evaluation, and now ''abstain'', ''"given how slowly the place runs right now"''? That is contradictory. Maybe you have a double agenda? {{User:Generaloberst/s}} 22:54, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''', but as Karek. The way this wiki is now, we're probably better off demoting a few people, mainly the least active ones. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 23:01, 14 March 2012 (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)
