Hi there, I have been active on here since 2022 and I have been doing a lot of grammar fixes. ALso, I have reported a few rulebreakers including one that was underage. I have also created a couple of new pages and I have even split a few pages. The reason why I want to become a mod is that I want to help keep this wiki clear from socks, rulebreakers and vandals so it can stay as a free, fun, and fair wiki.

Oppose

Oppose. It's been made clear that you actually only care about yourself, seeing as you've only made filler edits to boost your edit count. Not a single member of AVID staff that I've spoken to would trust you in any position of power, and the fact that you said you're trying again after being laughed out of the room 3 times already shows that the message just isn't getting through. (Lets chat!) 14:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Find then. I admit it. I wont make a good mod or admin (for now at least). I'll try to work harder and I'll hopefully make it one day.

Any advice will be welcome as well! (Talk to Me!) 14:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

What I'll do now is that I'll take a break for a month or so, I'll read any advice given to me, and I'll come back in a month and use your advice. (Talk to Me!) 14:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

So thanks in advance for your advice and I'll see you all in a month. (Talk to Me!) 14:26, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

It's very simple. Stop trying so desparately. Appearing desparate like you are isn't how I got elected. You gotta show genuine passion for the site which I haven't seen from you. (Lets chat!) 14:37, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I do have a good passion for this wiki, but I just totally forgot to show it in my request. (Talk to Me!) 14:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Oppose harder or not harder you work, you're still doing contribs because you want a mod. you also reported some people for not adding the licence. next time you return, PLEASE, do not do contributions to become a mod. Cattotld (takl) 14:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I've been active on here since 2022, and I've gone a long way from there. Since the last time I requested, I've become more mature, been taking more attention to user reports, reporting people when they break rules, and I would do anything to keep the site up and running. Whenever someone does something wrong, I would really like to make it right. I would like to be part of the staff because of this. I would love to play a part in keeping this wiki sock-free, vandal-free and rule-breaker free, so this wiki can be one of the most popular sources of information for logos for now, for ever.

Support I would first like to start off by saying, I don't really know the dynamics around here (as in permission requests), but I believe that the candidate has some good possibilities with moderator. Seeing their contributions, I can definitely say that these few extra permissions will help what they are doing. His rationale is not really that good, but it's still a rationale that I can accept. -- Cheers, Bukkit (talk • contribs • global • rights) 22:20, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Support Same as Bukkit. 02:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

Oppose for now. Not yet my dude. Wait. You are improving, but as sung by the Muppet Babies, good things come to those who... WAIT! (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 11:05, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Why do you think that they should wait longer? Just saying "wait a bit longer" and not saying why they should wait (or how long they should) is extremely discouraging. -- Cheers, Bukkit (talk • contribs • global • rights) 22:10, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Oppose While you have improved a lot, I think you should wait just a little bit longer. (Talk to Me!) 16:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

behavior wise, Sonicfan is slightly immature and not fit. Luke tells it best, his response is below mine. (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 11:43, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Oppose I am going to echo the others and say you should probably wait a bit longer before you apply for a role on the staff team. You did indeed get off to a rough start here at AVID, but I have seen noticeable improvement from you in recent times and you have settled into the community much better now. You have made some good efforts so far in terms of helping out the staff team, but I would like to see you continue working at this and even try to exceed what you've done so far. You will have my support when the time is right, if you want feedback on where you're at/how you're progressing towards becoming moderator-ready, I am sure myself and the other members of staff will be willing to tell you what you've been doing well and where you can improve. Co-operating with us and showing keen enthusiasm to work with us and learn the site is intuition we like to see and definitely helps make a name for yourself - especially when it comes to us supporting new staff members to join our team.

Comments

1.  Comment: You have shown significant improvement to you behaviour since your last request, however, I feel your reasoning is still somewhat weak. If you can build further on why you think you're fit for moderatorship, I'll put my support behind you. (Lets chat!) 12:59, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

   It's that I've been paying more attention to user reports. For example, remember Sadspongebob21 aka. Jack Norris? That was me. And then Parkee is Back, while I didn't make the report, I did mention someone else he targeted (789). As well as that, YouKonade said the S-word on a forum. That was me (Sure, that wasn't as bad as vandalism or sockpuppetry, but it's still a rule to not swear). Sgtshep557 uploaded 2 fake logos and a fake draft. I know most of the users I reported were minor, but I still think I'm ready for this responsibility. 13:13, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

   Whenever anything goes wrong, I make them right. That's why I want to be a mod, so I can resolve problems with other users, and help the wiki, as it is bigger than ever, and needs as much help as it can get. 17:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

2. I hope nobody is particularly fooled by negligible reports of very small violations, the continued evasion from any substantial reason besides 'pls I want it', and the lack of demonstrated skills or judgement that might help in realizing this role. Every time I see Sonicfan one phrase comes to mind: high maintenance. Not a wise addition to the staff team until there is a radical shift in Sonicfan's core behavior. Obsessing over getting moderatorship and even adminship was demonstrated in the forums not long ago. This is harsh, but AVID has standards to keep for its scale and people who want to collect hats aren't it. An avoidable repeat of administrative issues from the 789guy (not considering the scandal that was lopped on top). I recommend Sonicfan just stop placing these requests and wait until someone authoritative tells him it's time to apply. --Raidarr (talk) 14:39, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

   That obsession wasn't me. Also, when you said to tell me to stop it, you're kinda sounding like I just constantly post requests, when I only posted 1 back then, and 1 now. And the reason why most of them were minor because that's all I've spotted so far. If I did, I'd report them immediately. As well as that, I've also done some good edits and contributions lately, and I want to help with the wiki as much as I can. I'm willing to do anything to play a part in making the wiki the best it can be. 17:15, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

   When I said 'If I did, I'd report them immediately', I meant as in socks, vandals etc. 20:28, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

   sounds like you're confusing Sonicfan and Sickminecraft. (Lets chat!) 01:00, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

   I didn't know that was possible! (Talk to Me!) 13:23, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

   For posterity yes, I did confuse the candidates. Frankly I don't think either of them are appropriate to join AVID staff now or in the foreseeable future. --Raidarr (talk) 13:26, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

So, I've been active since 2022 (before then, I lurked on WF for several years, but couldn't create an account because of how difficult it was for me, and officially joined a couple months after the Miraheze move; I took a hiatus for about a year due to Qualitipedia ruining Miraheze for me, only rejoining around the time the BoD got ousted). I've worked as hard as I could to clean up pages (such as removing leftover Legacy or Technique misuse, grammar fixes, etc.). I've focused more on editing and cleanup than combatting socks, but I've done my best to remain active here and on the Discord server just about every day, and I'm still doing my best to help keep AVID a well-oiled ship. Even without all this, I was noted to be one of the saner Qualitipedia staff members, as well as a good second-in-command in the unofficial AVID Chronicles Discord server. Though I admit, I can be brash and make bad decisions too quickly. That said, I know being a mod is a great responsibility, and I want to try and help other users here as best as I can, as well as continuing to help keep AVID as well-run as possible.

Hey y'all. You all probably know me by this point.

I've been trying my best to be a really hardworking individual on this wiki for at least 2 years now, such as expanding pages, cleaning up pages, helping out other users, and more. Although I haven't played an active role when it comes to the Discord server and combatting sockpuppets (although I have indeed reported some users who are sockpuppets in the past), I've been trying my best to keep in touch with everyone here, admins, bureaucrats, and normal users on this wiki because we are a community where we should be treated the same as always. With my abilities, I will try to help and be open towards other users with certain things, such as their user page and a grasp of this wiki, and of course, keeping this wiki clean as much as possible. I hope this is enough because I am heavily aware that it is a responsibility I have to treat with care, especially given that I still have school, which thankfully, is almost over.

Support

1. Support This user has done major contributions and is also active on the wiki, definitely has my support. (takl) 14:36, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

So, as some of you may have noticed, I stepped down as a moderator recently. I've taken this time to boost my edut count, as I feel that was the only thing blocking me from joining the admin team. I've contributed significantly to the project over my several years on-site, including writing the original description for the DWA 2019 logo, as well as some quality-of-life edits, such as clearing out opinionated comments and misuse of the technique section. During my time as moderator, I tried to respond quickly and efficiently to as many issues as the public wanted, a mentality I continue to utilise on the Discord server. I feel like I'm ready to take the next step, and I hope you feel I am too.

Support

Support This user is frequently active across AVID as a whole and has shown a lot of improvement as a member of our community since becoming a moderator. I think they are in a position where they would be suitable as an Admin. Luke2505 (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Support Per Luke StudioLerex (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Support Very active and helpful member of the community. --Logohub (talk) 17:04, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Support EMG is a voice of reason, has proven competent at pressing buttons, and has done well in curbing his own rough edges. I think this would be a boon to the AVID community. I think the migration has unfairly pushed EMG's candidacy out of the spotlight, perhaps there should be a notice for this to get proper attention. Off topic, the above permissions requests should probably be closed as well. --Raidarr (talk) 13:28, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
