For a while now, I've wanted to reset the #wikia-ff op list due to the bloating of it with our inconsistently employed staff = ops policy and a large number of inactive users. Now that we have the RfP page, everyone is clamouring for more Scathe judgements. This fortunate concordance of events suggests to me that this is a good time to put this into play. All op rights on #wikia-ff except for the Founders will be reset.
If you are still interested in being an op, you can apply through Requests for Promotion. This also applies for new people wanting to gain ops, and for all future applications. If you garner enough support, you will be put through a brief test on #wikia-finalfantasy, administered by Kiracieux, Feasinde or myself. If you pass this test, you will be given op rights and a beautiful judgement by our glorious irreverent leader Scathe. Staff members can request to be given +vt on the IRC with no test. | |||
I'm too used to wiki admin = IRC op in all cases on wikis I edit. :c But that said, this seems like a reasonable suggestion. I recall having to tell Jimcloud how to kick someone once, and I think I've given one or two ops a little IRC help before. Anyway, I support this motion, because thinking about it, it makes sense. My only real concern is that the test might be difficult to pass and that would mean fewer people arounf for kicking and topic changing purposes, but of course, also fewer people to screw commands up. | |||
Since staffers will still have +vt, they can still change the topic. And let's be honest, when's the last person any of us other than Ark have had to kickban anyone? C A T U S E 01:23, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
