Chat Moderators
Chat Moderators are members of the community who have the extra mandate of ensuring that chat stays a healthy environment everyone can enjoy. They have tools to kick people out of chat as warning measures and ban people for a lengths of time appropriate to the offense/number of previous bans.
Those with Chat Moderators rights are able to do the following:
- Kick someone from the chat room
- Ban someone from the chat room
Chat Moderator User Conduct
Chat moderator are expected to:
- Help users in chat to the best of their ability and answer questions(both in main chat and Personal Messages).
- Help newcomers understand the Chat Policies
- Ensure those policies are followed
- Warn someone before banning(kicks count as warnings)
- Write an explanation as to the nature of the ban and it's length on the person's message wall
- Chat Moderators need to show maturity. This includes quality edits, courtesy, and refraining from heavily roleplaying (like wiki "marriage", indulging in "violent acts" toward another user, etc ...)
- Chat Moderators are expected to show good behavior both here and on other Wikis. As their conduct will be associated with this wiki, a block or ban on another Wiki as much as here could lead to demotion without further notice.
Voting Procedure
- Clearly state whether you support or oppose.
- One vote per person.
- A small explanation of your vote can be provided but people aren't expected to answer to it. This is meant to vote, not discuss.
- Participant must be registered users since one month before the beginning of the voting of candidate.
- Sockpuppeting will result in a cancellation of the votes and a block of all perpetrators.
- No questions or discussions allowed. Any non-vote will be deleted.
- Voting will last for a week from the time it started.
Voting Results:
- If at least 80.0% of the community votes cast are in "Support" of a candidate then the candidate will automatically become a staff member on the DragonVale Wiki in that role.
- If 60.0% to 79.9% of the community votes cast are in "Support" of the candidate then the candidate will go through a one month probation period with the tools. At the end of the one month if more than 80.0% of the community votes cast are in "Support" of the candidate keeping the tools the candidate will keep them. If less than 80.0% of the community votes cast are in "Support" after the probation period the tools will be removed.
- Users that do not support the candidate in the post-probation voting thread should list at least one point that the user could improve in the probation period, so that the user can use it to improve; the points should be reasonable and not being personal reasons.
- If less than 60.0% of the community votes cast are in "Support" in the vote then the candidate does not receive the tools or a probation period.
- Candidates can be nominated again three months from the end of their probation/end of the vote.
- If the candidate is accepted for promotion, a bureaucrat will make the user rights changes. If there are no bureaucrats, then one of the administrators should send a message to Wikia staff at Special:Contact/general with a link to the discussion/vote and a request to promote the user.
