Animal Crossing Wiki:Promote

This is the page where users can request Administrator and Rollback rights and vote on other users who are requesting rights. Please read the following regulations and instructions completely before voting or placing a request.

For additional information about Administrators, please see the Administrators' how-to guide and What administrators cannot do.

In the event that an Administrator or Rollbacker is being unruly or breaking the rules, a request for their demotion may be placed below in the Requests for demotion header. The same voting rules apply for this as well. The vote totals required for their demotion remain the same as those for promotions as well.

Rules for requests
Each user's request will run for two weeks, during which members of the community will vote on the request. An applicant may and should inform other users of his or her application.

If the applicant meets the vote quota in that time, then he or she shall be given the promotion. If an applicant obtains the needed support votes, 4 supports, without obtaining any oppose votes before the allotted two weeks have expired, he or she will be promoted. If the user receives an oppose vote, then an extra support vote is needed.

If the applicant does not meet the required votes in two weeks, the request will be archived as "opposed". After a failed request, both for Rollback and Administrator rights, a user must wait 4 weeks (1 month) before requesting again.

Rollback
In order to apply for Rollback rights, an applicant must have:
 * 1) A minimum of 200 edits
 * 2) A minimum of 2 weeks of active membership

An applicant must obtain a vote total of +4 or higher to be promoted (see Voting).

Administrator
In order to apply for Administrator rights, an applicant must have:


 * 1) A minimum of 500 edits
 * 2) A minimum of two months of active membership

Regardless of the aforementioned requirements, a user must obtain a vote total of +4 or higher to be promoted (see Voting).

How to request promotion
After meeting or exceeding the said requirements, follow the following instructions to place your request.


 * 1. Add the following to the bottom of the Requests header, replacing "USER" and "RANK" with your username and desired rank, respectively (remember, doing it incorrectly looks really bad):


 * 2. Under the header and user information, write a few sentences about why you are requesting a promotion and what qualifies you for the position. Users will then vote on whether or not you should be promoted to rollback or administrator status.

Rules
To vote, a user must:
 * 1) Be an active member of Animal Crossing City for at least one week at the time the voting begins.
 * 2) Have 10 or more edits at the time the voting begins.

Templates

 * Support votes count as +1 toward an applicant's total
 * Oppose votes count as -1 toward an applicant's total
 * Neutral votes do not affect an applicant's total
 * An applicant's vote total can be found by adding up the supports and opposes. For example, an applicant receives 5 support (+) votes and 2 oppose (-) votes. His or her vote total is +3.

NintendoLover (Bureaucrat)

 * NintendoLover (talk · contributions · edit count )

- The past week has been pretty hectic around here, users had heated debates over what should have been a fairly simple, and quite frankly, minor issue. This ultimately resulted in Larsenv's apparent 'leaving' of the wiki. He later rejoined chat with threats and inappropriate, childish behavior. A demotion was proposed, in which Larsenv would have his admin rights removed and continue editing as a standard user. However, there were no active bureaucrats at the time, meaning Larsenv had to remove his own user rights, something he didn't do willingly. Out of utter confusion and in defense of Larsenv, Chuzzlecheese argued with users and broke multiple rules, including sockpuppetry. Larsenv then gaveChuzzlecheese chat moderator rights, making the situation all the more difficult. In the end, both users had their rights removed and Chuzzlecheese banned from chat. Although NintendoLover's mainspace edit count leaves much to be desired (although so does mine), he is on the wiki on a regular basis, by contributing to community discussions through message walls or through chat. The latter is the source of most of Animal Crossing City's problems at present. In instances such as the one I mentioned above, NintendoLover has always acted logically, something that I find is becoming increasingly uncommon among users here and across Wikia as a whole. Something he should be commended on was his ability to cope with the insults and immature behavior present on that particular occasion, things that could easily be considered blockworthy.

In conclusion, I believe that NintendoLover deserves these user rights because he knows how to use the tools effectively and fairly. Several other admins are worthy of these rights too, but NintendoLover has the most experience of these users and was the only admin online when I suggested the promotion.

I think I can safely say that Larsenv's behavior has improved. Fang ³ 06:43, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

I think he deserves it. ILikeCheese 5:51, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

He can do it!-- Kittycatlover Be Prepared 22:52, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

Bringing you the fourth and final upvote... Dragonfree 7000! 23:31, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

That awkward moment when a B'crat gives you the final upvote and forgets to promote you. Shove a gerbil  in your ass   through a tube. 03:06, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Probably doesn't add much now we have 5, but I think it is quite appropriate. Taliseth (talk) 02:45, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

Fang³(Admin)
Fang is an active contributer,and he reverts most vandilism. He contributes to this wiki a lot and helps users when needed. When he is on,he will probably be able to react to situations quickly,and help us stop vandals. Catsrulesweetie Traitor 23:14, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

-Fang is active,and I've seen him around here quite a bit. I think he's able to handle these powers. Booker-Bulldog Woof 23:22, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Huh, I thought he was an admin already. I'll appoint the rollback first cause that is the prequisite. But yes, I think he is deserving of it, though? it would be the quickest admin promotion in this wiki's history.? Taliseth (talk) 23:58, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

-Fang is deserving of these powers. He is active and quick to revert vandilism. Firestar Loyalty is what matters 00:22, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

-Yes. This is very quick. Maybe the quickest. Firestar Loyalty is what matters 01:52, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Kittycatlover (Rollback)
Reverting vandilism is one thing I love to do. With Rollback rights,I can revert vandilism easier. I think that even though I'm not active enough for administration rights yet,that I can handle doing rollback. I reverted vandilism from a user called Colacrazy until she was banned by ILikeCheese. I pledge to revert vandlism from the roots with rollback rights Kittycatlover Be Prepared 01:48, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

You can do it! You are my sis! Catsrulesweetie Ugh, Chosen One 01:51, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hurr. Try editing a bit more before you apply. I don't really support it, but show us some more editing and reverting and I might change my mind. Shove a gerbil  in your ass   through a tube. 02:06, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I don't really see the harm in it, and your mainspace edits look decent. However, I am not sure you know how to use the available tools efficiently, as being a Rollback means you have to patrol recent changes (Wiki Activity only shows mainspace and social edits) consistently and you need to be able to use diff. Fang ³  02:19, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I've seen you around a little bit, but I don't know if I can quite accept it as you are known to not handle situations very nicely. However, I agree with Fang as there would be no harm, but I just don't think I will be supporting this completely. Primrose Everdeen (talk) 02:26, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

-I doubt this will help,but still. Booker-Bulldog Woof 21:17, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

Demote ILikeCheese (Administrator)
So. Here we go again. I would like to request demotion from administrator to rollback for ILikeCheese. I do have reasons. First off, admin abuse. He has abused administrator powers numerous times. This includes deleting things with no real reason, banning users with no real reason or for too long, and unbanning users just to argue with 'em. Next off, he has been very immature at times. He can't cope with an argument well. He handles things immaturely many times. He does prevent vandalism at times, but all he needs is rollback and he's good to go. That is my request, and I hope you see where I'm coming from. -NintendoLover Shove a gerbil   in your ass   through a tube. 01:12, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I have been able to revert most vandalism, but there is nothing I can do to stop the vandals or prevent vandalism except to ask an admin to block them. Cheese visits the site frequently, and has been able to quickly respond to these situations. Fang ³ 06:13, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * ...So? He's broken many admin rules and has abused his powers. That alone is enough to get him demoted. Primrose Everdeen (talk) 16:06, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * I feel like he's all set with just rollback rights for now. Primrose Everdeen (talk) 16:05, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

- Other admins are now onsite more often. I'll leave this up to guys. Fang ³  22:05, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

-He is fine with just rollback for now. Kittycatlover Be Prepared 22:50, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

Cheese is blocked,anyway so I say just do it! Catsrulesweetie Ugh, Chosen One 01:53, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
