Forum:Moderator Request - BillyOcean

Hello everyone. As you can tell from the title, I'm here to apply for full-fledged Moderator status. As of September 1st, I've been a member of the Vault for over a year, and I lurked as an anon a long time before that. I've been serving as a chat mod ever since that position was created, and I hope the chat regulars will agree that I've been a fair and responsible mod, and that I've been as helpful as possible to anyone new to our community. As for the wiki itself, most of my contributions have been minor, but I hope I've proven myself trustworthy to my fellow editors. Although the majority of my edits are minor, I think they have all been legitimate contributions. I have made a few bad edits here and there, but I've always learned from my mistakes and endeavored to correct any damage done. It's for this exact reason that I want to be a Moderator, so I can continue to learn and contribute even more to the Vault.

Contributions

 * As Yes-Man mentioned, it was my idea for a Nightkin characters sub-category, and together the two of us were responsible for changing the categories on the applicable pages.


 * I've created and worked on several pages - mostly red-linked developers and Van Buren characters.


 * Several times in the past I've reported vandals and reverted bad edits. Also, I'm here everyday (only about 70 days left until my Symbol of Order badge!), and even though I'm a full-time student again, I still manage at least an edit a day.


 * As mentioned, I've been a chat mod since the community vote back in July, and while I did receive one neutral vote, all my other votes were positive. With the exception of Scarface11235, I think I had the most yes votes of any of the applicants, and I was nominated by our own Jspoel.

A few last words
As I said, most of my edits are minor, but I think I've proven that I'm a dedicated and reliable user, and the tools available to me as a Moderator will only improve the Vault. Thanks for reading, and thanks for voting, be it yes or no. If you do vote no, I only ask you leave a comment explaining, so I can continue to grow as an editor.

Votes

 * Don't really know you yet or I've never met you yet but when I read all comments you seem a pretty nice guy. Ill keep it on neutral right now because this one guy said you've been mean to "Asian people". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Legendary Courier (talk • contribs).

 * Yes Bent tin cans and sandwiches all the way. Yes Man default.png
 * I've taken some time to browse your edits and noticed you've gotten less active editing a few days after the release of Old World Blues. Probably this has also to do with you being very active in chat (that's why I nominated you for mod). But you've been stuck at 3190 for a few weeks now, so that means you're not editing too much anymore. For 1,5 months your editing ratio vs. talkpage/blog comments is about equal, and you're applying for the rollback as an extra. To me it seems you don't need it that much, also because I haven't seen you undo edits that much recently. But you're a reliable user and the rollback would be in good hands with you. I hope my reaction will also be a bit of an inspiration to edit a bit more again. Jspoel Speech Jspoel.png 14:58, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes - Crazy Sam10 Talk User blog:Crazy sam10[[File:ShadowAttackSmallAni.gif]] 16:48, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes Billy has done such thing as being racist, and that is a ludicrous claim by someone whom themselves was being racist and whom is is probably just bringing this up here because they were banned. As for Billy, he has been in chat for great periods of time. However, I think Jspoel's advice is valid. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png
 * Yes Don't see why not. 17:08, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes Billy has been one of the few people on this Wiki who has went the extra mile to help me improve the quality of my edits, as well as tell me what I am doing wrong without making me look like an asshole. He has offered his help on several occasions, and has always been fair as far as I have seen. He is a valuable asset to this Wiki, and is rivaled by few, to none. He has my support 100%.

 * Yes He's a good and attentive editor, definitely deserves it. ---bleep196- 12:14, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes hes pretty much a staple here. might want to get trade marked. Billy"TM" JimmyDreznaut017 19:04, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes Shadowrunner(stuff) 19:06, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes Billeh is a credit to the Vault and the Vault Community, he will make a great moderator. He's got my vote. Richie9999 19:58, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes ToCxHawK 22:30, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I've heard nothing but good things about BillyOcean, prior to this page. --Tag! 23:24, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Comments
I'd like to note that the "Asian" here was in fact a person that was kicked for making stereotypical comments against Asians, such as "Etah eggahroll". I know for a fact that Billy isn't racist at all. Hugs "Say 'ello to my little friend!"  04:31, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Billy, the last point under contributions says 'chat mid', not 'chat mod'. Might wanna correct that. 06:07, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I got it. BILLYOCEAN 16:02, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

As I stated previously, Billy has always been respectful towards me, and has always went the extra mile to offer his help in improving my mistakes/increasing my knowledge about this Wiki. Very few Mods/veterans of this Wiki have treated me with such respect, as well as offering up their help instead of just telling me what I did wrong and busting me out for it, and some have went so far as to be almost insulting when I make mistakes, or try an idea for a huge edit. The Almighty One, The Arcadian Rook, The Guardian, and Billy are pretty much the only ones who have went the extra mile to help me out. Their support has increased my knowledge as well as giving me people I feel I can rely on to greatly improve my contribution to this Wiki. I honestly believe to deny him Adminship is a mistake, and I doubt you will find more dedication from anyone else. GlassJAw667 00:30, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * While I appreciate all the nice things you have to say about me, I just wanna clarify that I am NOT applying to be an admin. BILLYOCEAN 01:09, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
