Terraria Fan Ideas Wiki:Rights Nominations

If you wish to browse the archives, please head over here.

Rights are permissions enabled for certain users that allow them to do certain things. This page is an encyclopedia about rights: It lists the permissions given for rights, it lists the requirements, and it gives a space for Admins and B-crats to nominate other users they deem worthy for rights.

These requirements are needed to be nominated for the various rights. Note that the requirements for rights, other than B-crat and Admin, do not necessarily have to be met. There is definitely a high possibility of a user being nominated before the requirements stated here are met; It is mainly the nominator's decision. The requirements for Admin or B-crat rights, however, are the minimal requirements among plenty of others. The full policy can be viewed here:

Nomination area
In this area, users that have Administrator and/or Bureaucrat rank may nominate an user to be considered for the rights. The community may then vote by placing four tildes (~) below the second that they agree with and (optional) a reason for supporting, remaining neutral, or opposing.

The voting system works as such: Each nominated user starts out with a score of 0. Each Supportive vote is worth 1 point, each Opposed vote is worth -1 points and each Neutral vote is worth 0 points. At the end of the voting (which comes about one week, maybe less, after the nomination is posted) the score will be counted. If it is less than 0, the user does not get the rights; if it is more than 0, they do get the rights.

Deleting another user's vote is grounds for a ban, as is posting a nomination if you have no rights. You may vote for yourself, but you cannot nominate yourself.

How to Vote

 * 1) Edit the area you're supporting. (Support, Neutral, Opposed)
 * 2) Write a sentence with a few words why you think the user should be nominated or just leave your signature.
 * 3) Select publish, and you're done!

TheFlamingScyther
I've frankly been overloaded the past few days, so I decided someone else should become an admin. The workload here is one that needs to be shared, especially approaching 3000 pages. Scyther has shown maturity and good decision-making skills in the past, so I believe he's the right candidate.
 * User: TheFlamingScyther
 * Rights: Administrator
 * Days remaining: 2

Support
 I know that I'm sort of new to this wiki but I found out that it is really fun and has good people on it. Scyther is one of them and he made big contributions to the wiki. Thanks Scyther.

I believe having another admin is a good idea, and I also believe Scyther is one of the best candidates. The only problems I see are his occasional inactivity (but I think he knows how to handle that now), and his grammar, which can be fixed. Brick Creeper (talk) 18:05, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

The wiki needs another administrator, I know I am very inactive but I have seen enough to say that I am sure Scyther deserves to be promoted. Light  Matter  23:33, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

Neutral
While I do support scyther, I have seen him become inactive for random periods. No offense, scyther, but I'm neutral on this one. Darthwikia25

Comments
In response to Darthwikia:

Yeah; it would be helpful if he left a notice on his userpage or something (if he already did, I didn't see it). 652Graystripe (Talk - Contribs - Editcount) 18:19, July 13, 2015 (UTC)
