- Hello! I have been debating this for a bit, but I have shown interest in becoming a Moderator. Why? Simply, I want to help moderate others' edits quickly and detect suspicious edits so I can detect socks. Despite inactivity, I want to take up this job, as I will become more active if I need to regulate and curate edits. I haven't done much reports, but I am willing to take this offer to help out AVID. In advance, I apologize for the confusing wording here. (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 12:52, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose, citing weak reasoning and the incident on the Discord server earlier this year. Eternity Media Group (talk) 13:44, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, sorry about that. Additionally, I am really bad at explaining. Don't know how to get over that. And yes I do take accountability for this. (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 22:52, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Blud, you don't have a guy that you're going to become a mod.
Oppose Didn’t you literally just vote in support for Sonicfan’s moderatorship 9 days ago? Japanesetvstuff (talk) 06:18, 27 October 2023- Oppose (• USER TALK! •) 12:24, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
Comments
Comment: I know according to the community I can't be mod due to the February Discord Incident. Also it is because I can't explain good. Because of this, until around Mid-February, I am retracting my Mod request and going back to to my self-done title of Home Video bumper archivist. I love AVID and everyone in it. To the person(s) who were affected by the Incident, I apologize. What I did on the Server was wrong and I know it now. I'm not a creep. I feel horrible for the person grieving. They were very upset when I posted that very offensive meme. So for now, I am retracting. Eternity, I think that's whats needed.

- I know I have requested 3 times now, but I've been working on what everyone said, and now, I think I'm ready.
I feel I am ready, because I have made 3 pages, and added a logo to an already existing page, showing that I have quite some experience in editing and contributing. I have also alerted admins about 2 Soby socks (Granted, they were already banned by the time I reported them, but I still have an eye for looking out). Plus, I have also taken a leap in maturity since then, becoming more fit for the role, and more trustworthy. I am willing to take on this responsibility, and while school gets in the way, I will still be here when I am needed. I feel now that I am fit for this role in the wiki, assisting the higher ups with troublemakers and socks, helping people with edits, et cetera. This is something I am willing to take on, and if I do get the role, I will be here for anything and everything, from going against a notorious sockpuppeteer to giving a helping hand to new members of this community, I will be here. I feel I am ready to help this wiki on a regular basis, and make newer members welcome, and sockpuppet accounts scarce. Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 20:33, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

- Support As far as I know, I haven't seen any real behavioral issues from Sonicfan. Combine this with his good contributions and he has reported people for good reasons in the past. Wishing you well on your moderator endeavors if selected. (• USER TALK! •) 23:13, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support It's time for Sonicfan. He has grown up enough. He's calm down from his early days too. (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 13:07, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose
- Oppose He hasn't done anything wrong as far as I'm aware, but I simply think he's not fit for moderator privileges. He just doesn't seem very mature. - O.H. Westberg
- What the heck are you? TPatKB (AKA Mr Vadimon) (this is my talk page) 18:15, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I'm sorry, but I just don't see this working out for you right now. There's definitely potential, but I don't think it'd be wise at this current time. LoganStuff (talk) 04:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- I think you need to do better reasoning to oppose, but Sonicfan has a lot of potential to be a mod. TPatKB (AKA Mr Vadimon) (this is my talk page) 00:39, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Regretatably, following further consideration, including discussions with other staff members, I have come to the conclusion that it would not be beneficial for AVID to be promoting sonicfan at this time. He still has some room to improve in regards to maturity, though with some mentorship, I think that could change in the near future. As of now though, I Oppose this request. Eternity Media Group (talk) 01:29, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per EMG. Logoarto (talk) 11:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose but this will most likely be the last time I oppose a Sonicfan RFP. The maturity is not there yet, but with some mentorship and guidance, I think you will be ready very soon. Remember that Sonicfan is still very young and there is plenty of time for personal development and growth along with maturity to come in. All he needs now is a push in the right direction which I think we can provide. Luke2505 (talk) 09:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Comments
- Comment: While I don't think sonicfan is ready yet, I do think that he has the potential to become a good moderator. He's shown dedication to the site, and I think with a bit more time and maturity, he would be a great addition to the team. I would be open to giving him a trial run to see how he performs in the role, with a permanent promotion being a possibility if he shows that he has what it takes. Eternity Media Group (talk) 10:50, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- That sounds OK. Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 10:55, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Per Eternity, I think it'd be good to give Sonicfan a test run as a mod and see how he does. 19:47, 28 October 2023 (UTC
- Comment: End this. Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 09:30, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm pretty neutral with this, hence why I'm commenting, but I'm divided 50/50 on whether or not you are ready. So I say keep waiting and contribuitng a little bit longer and hopefully you have better luck next time! (Talk to Me!) 09:06, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

- I know I have been pretty quiet on here for the past few months, but I really have a keen interest in this wiki and I really love to help run this wiki. I'm really into logos and I find this wiki a very valuable source for logo information. Whether this request passes or fails, I'll jump right back into the AVID community. I have almost forgotten to jump back into the community after this long break and I'll do it very soon no matter the result of this request. Thank you AVID Community for all the fun and pleasure I had and will continue to have contributing here since I first joined back in April 2021, from Johnny.

- Oppose citing your previous attempts to become a mod. As many have said, just stop trying. Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 09:31, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose again I have not seen your contributions to the community and immediately after your break the first thing you did is yet again apply for moderatorship. I'm sorry but it's a no from me. Logoarto (talk) 11:24, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- I know. I'm just seeing how I'm currently perceived in the community. I'll start contributing very soon.
- Oppose I think you get the point 100 times already, so should I explain it? No offense to you though. I think you have enough potential for other things. 𝓘𝓝ℱ𝓔ℛ𝓝𝓞 𝓞ℱ 𝑇.𝓥.ℬ. (chat is this real????) 22:17, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose You've requested 4 times before, and the same reason you've failed those other 4 times is why I will be opposing here. (• USER TALK! •) 22:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose this ain't discord mod election, nobody will promote you bc you will just ban sockpuppets. again, you need to provide major contribution you've done to this wiki. taking a break won't help. Cattotld (talk (not really)) 18:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose (TALK•CONTRIBUTIONS) 18:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I was really hoping to see some change from you after the conversation we had on the AVID Community Discord. For the record, these RFPs aren't "popularity" contests and are definitely not a good way of determining how the community perceives you. I hope you realise that the constant RFPs are very damaging to your reputation, and making them for reasons such as "I want to see what people think of me" doesn't help. Don't make another RFP in 2 months, because I can quite honestly tell you that you definitely will not be ready by then. You have a LOT of reputation to claw back and while I think its doable, the first step in getting there is laying off the RFPs. Become more active around the Discord, become more social with the rest of us, and start doing these contributions you say you will! Actions speak louder than words. I'm really disappointed in you that you've done this immediately after your break. Luke2505 (talk) 09:50, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- I know. I know. we all make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. I'm 100% going to get right into the community very soon and I'll work hard for months. I'll make sure to stay active on the forums and Discord server. I'll do lots of edits on the wiki and make stue to make some large contributions like creating pages, adding new logos and sections to pages, reporting bad users, etc. There are no promises or commitments here as I could forget tomorrow and never come back for many more weeks and months to come, so hopefully I don't forget, but I'll most likely not. (Talk to Me!) 11:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Comments
- Comment: I know this would likely fail, but anyway, I get the point, I know I'll have to work harder, but this is really more to see your current perception of me. Hopefully I have better luck next time which will be a couple of more months away. (Talk to Me!) 23:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Only a couple of more months? Ain't no way anyone, including me, would fully prove themselves that they can be a moderator after a failure of a request in only two months. I'd suggest extending that time period depending on how much worthy action you can handle. If you don't do much, I wouldn't say it would be short... 𝓘𝓝ℱ𝓔ℛ𝓝𝓞 𝓞ℱ 𝑇.𝓥.ℬ. (talk) 18:32, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Couple more months? When are you gonna realise that 1 break does not mean a guaranteed promotion?! Unless you buck your ideas up and become much, much more mature, a break will mean nothing. So stop desperately trying to become a mod and making requests whenever possible, get your act together, and if we see a drastic change, maybe, just maybe, you might find yourself on the mod team. At this point tho, it's extremely unlikely. Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 23:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Please stop. Listen, trying to make so many requests. Like the others said, become more mature and don't recycle the same arguments. (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 22:40, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

- 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)

- 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)

- 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)

- 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
- 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)
- 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)
- 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.

- 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 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)
