The Sims Wiki:Requests for IRC Channel operator/Old archives 2

Ben/MrC/MrBenC
So, guess I'll start this off. The differences are small, since if this request is successful, I'd just gain the ability to change the topic. Back when I used to run the channel statistics web page, this would have been useful if I had to move it from one server to another, so a different URL. However, this is for a different reason. Since the new rules have been implemented, it has been proposed as part of the reform process that some users have their flags removed, due to limited IRC knowledge. One of these users occupy the SuperOp (formerly Bureaucrat) tier, while another who formerly had that tier has resigned from that role. While time will tell, if this entire proposal goes through, it would mean the only people with SuperOp abilities will be the contact, and one user who hasn't been very active lately.

Under the new rules, this is a prerequisite to SuperOp and no provision exists to leap-frog or skip tiers. In the event those users listed in the proposal are dropped, I want to be in a position to apply for SuperOp later on.

Hopefully, my record, knowledge, experience, and reputation speak for themselves. Ben (talk) 01:43, June 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Knowing Ben from other IRC networks, he is clearly competent with using IRC and definitely a trusted channel member. This system is still fairly new so there are definitely kinks that will be worked out over time, but I have no doubt that Ben's expertise will benefit the channel. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 01:47, June 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ben is very skilled in IRC and is very active in the channel. I have no hesitation whatsoever to giving him more powers in the channel --  LiR talk • blog  •  contribs 16:35, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

Well there is clear support for the promotion, so ✅ Flags added. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 19:40, June 23, 2016 (UTC)
