Requests for Staff

Requests for Staff (RfS) is the process by which the community decides who will become staff members, who are specially recognized users for a given field. A user either submits his/her own request for staff (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. For record purposes, we will be keeping previous applications on file as reference and for public access in the Archive.

Requirements
Before submitting a request for staff, users must meet a list of requirements. The requirements are listed below:
 * The user must have completed at least 400 (or 100 if applying for chat moderator) or more mainspace edits at the time of their submission.
 * The user must have been an accounted member of the wikia for at least three months at the time of their submission.

If a user submits a request without matching one of these requirements, their submission will be removed immediately. They can re-submit their request at a later date, with an existing admin's permission.

Request Process
1. A user submits their request for staff or is nominated by another user. Submit your request by leaving a message detailing why you feel you are qualified for the position and why you would be an asset to the community. Follow your message with your signature.

2. Users in the community will have a period of time to support, oppose, or remain neutral to a user's request. IPs, or users without accounts are not allowed to vote.

3. After a reasonable amount of given time, voting will end. If the request has at least 8 supportive votes* and more supportive votes than opposing votes, it is qualified for admin voting. If not, the request is denied.

4. If the request is qualified, the admins will have to vote. They will submit their votes via the administrative board on the forums, or anonymously amongst themselves. The request needs a simple majority of the voting admins** to be approved.

5. If the majority of the voting admins and community staff support the candidate, an admin/bureaucrat will promote the user to a staff member.

Support a User by leaving a signature and a reason why you support, and the same for not supporting. Non-constructive posts will be removed.

Staff members are decided through a person's contributions and their activity on the Wiki. Before requesting a staff position, take a look at where your edits lie (we prefer that Staff members have at least 400 edits). This also applies to supporting or opposing to a user's request. If they are lacking constructive edits or their edits are within a different field than the one they're applying for, they obviously aren't cut out for the job.

IPs are not allowed to edit this section.

How to vote
To vote, simply place one of the four voting templates below the request, along with any existing votes. The voting templates to choose from are "Support", "Oppose", "Neutral", and "Comment". After placing the template, explain why you cast that specific vote. Provide valid reasoning; don't support a user simply because they are your friend or oppose a user because you don't like them. Provide solid and clear reasoning. Keep in mind that you are not only voting on the request, but also trying to persuade the admins to support or oppose the submission. Follow your reasoning with your signature.

Janitors are users who are always on the lookout for spelling errors, coding errors, useless information, run-on sentences, etc.

Gonna be honest here, opposing this kinda hurts me, but I think you're not fit for the role. TommieBoi (talk) 20:14, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Hey guys, this is me again, and I'd like to apologize firstly to everyone here who knows that i was leaving this wikia. I have to admit that indeed i was planning to leave, but after i thought it more thoroughly, despite my main focus is with my novels, it is not right to abandon this site, which i also called my online home where my bestest online friends live in it. I apologize for saying such thing as leaving, and then come back, it feels like I'm making fun of the site. again, i apologize. and the reason I'm in here, is to ask for you guys to give me another chance to be a part of this wikia. thanks, and i apologize once more.

You deserve to have it back. --Ivan Simpson (talk) 16:10, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

You don't have to have your staff positions back in order to be part of the wikia again. I know I didn't anyway; and I hate to say it, but you should've thought it through more before deleting all of the content from your page (I don't understand why people do that, surely you'd want people to remember you instead of every link to your page becoming red, also you've spent time on it. :/) and asking for your staff positions to be removed. If you were on the fence about wanting to leave or not, why take the action? But anyway, seeing as I'm unable to check your contributions, as my iPad crashes, and so I don't know whether a lot of your previous contribs have been towards the video game. In that case, I'm gonna have to stay neutral, but I am keeping an open mind and may support you if I'm convinced. RelicRaider (talk) 16:27, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah I agree with Relic. You should of thought it through first and you don't need it back. AdamTheMop (talk) 16:40, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Relic and Adam. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140913220653/spongebob/images/9/98/Nicko756%27s_Signature_5.gif (P•T•C)  23:41, February 19, 2015 (UTC)
