This is the page where formal requests for moderator rights can be filed. Moderator rights enable normal users to remove and restore replies that are not their own on message walls, forum threads, article comments, and Discussions posts. It is particularly useful on Avatar Wiki when an admin is unavailable to take action against replies, threads, or posts that contravene the site's discussion policy or discussion guidelines. The ability to close threads and Discussion posts is also included.
There is no limit to the number moderators and the current number has no bearing on whether a request will be accepted, so if you are interested in becoming a moderator, please do not hesitate to make a request.
Requirements[]
- Strong and consistent history of contributions, though quality is more important than quantity
- History of comment moderation — reporting inappropriate posts and ensuring policies are adhered to
- No history of serious blocks due to vandalism, sockpuppetry, or posting inappropriate comments
Procedures[]
- Add your request under the section "Current requests" and give an explanation as to why you believe you deserve and require moderator rights. You must use the sample format that is shown at the top of the edit window when editing the section "Current requests".
- Alternatively, another user may also nominate another eligible user for moderator rights. If this is the case, the applicant only needs to say that they accept the nomination. It is not necessary to elaborate any further, as administrators will check user contributions regardless of what is written.
- Note that being nominated by another user bears no advantage over normal requests you make yourself.
- Any comments on the request from others may be posted as per any standard discussion.
- One of the active administrators will consider your request. Don't be too disappointed if your request is declined. Remember, you can always try again later.

I would like to request moderator rights. I have a history of moderating the discussion boards, and I try to help other users in any way I can. I try to have a positive influence on the boards, but I report posts when needed, and often help other users by telling them they had made a spelling error on their post, or telling them that their post is frequent, and I feel that having these rights would help me in these situations and not bother other moderators. I try to contribute to discussions and am active daily on the wiki, so often I see posts before moderators do. Thank you for your consideration. 23:51, 1st January 2020. Kyoshiyangchen22
Not done I definitely see that you have been a positive influence on the boards, and your reporting of posts and linking to the frequently asked questions post when needed has been very welcomed. However, for many of the posts you have reported, there has been no issue that requires moderator action; part of being given these rights is demonstrating an understanding of how and when use of moderation tools is needed. I think, therefore, that it would be a bit early to give you these rights now, and that it would be beneficial for you to gain more experience of when action by a moderator is needed. If you do so and apply again in the future, I would be happy to give you these rights. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 10:58, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

I"d like to request Moderator Rights even tho i dont do anything, Thank u for your time -Blackest Mist. Blackest Mist 8:27, 13 January 2021
Not done By your own admission, you haven't done anything to warrant being given these rights, and so for that reason this request will be rejected. Moderator rights are given out based on showing a good history of contributions and comment moderation, not simply a desire to have them; I would therefore suggest to work on these two points and consider applying again in the future.

Hi! I would like to reapply for moderator rights. I feel like I have a better understanding of them now than before when I previously requested them, and I understand the role fully now. I try my best to moderate the discussion boards already, but I feel that if I had these rights it would help me do this more efficiently, and not bother other moderators. Thank you for your consideration. Kyoshiyangchen22 22:02, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Not done I will reject this request for now, based on the discussion we had privately on Discord, and I hope you will consider applying again at some point in the future. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 21:15, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi I am 252 and I am here to ask for moderator rights. I have been on this wiki since June 2020 and I try to help around on this wiki as much as I can, though i am mostly active on the discussion boards, i can edit more and also help clean up the wiki and help with disscussion's moderation. Thank you for reading this and please consider it. Thanks -252469b 21:08 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Not done You have a good history of contributions to the wiki, but I do not see a particularly large history of helping to moderate the comments thus far, and for this reason I will decline this request for now. Having a good history of moderation without the rights is the best way we judge whether they should be granted, and so my suggestion would be to work on this by reporting posts that require moderator action or helping to keep discussions constructive and relevant when needed. Remember as well that being a moderator means you will sometimes be on the receiving end of controversial discussions or the annoyance of another user, and so demonstrating that you can cope with such situations is also important. If you do so and apply again in the future, I would be happy to reconsider your request. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 00:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

I would like to reapply for these rights! I realise that in the past my requests have been rejected for various reasons, but I think that I fully understand why they were rejected in the past, and will use that knowledge in the future. I try to help out other users and the mods on the boards already, but I feel that if I were to get these rights now I could help the mods do their jobs without having to bother them as much. Thank you so much for your consideration! Kyoshiyangchen22 (wall • contribs) 20:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Done You have taken on board the advice and suggestions I gave before, and I am very happy to grant you these rights. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 19:26, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I would like to have moderator rights. I am quite active on the discussions page, and like to help keep people on topic and add new content for interesting discussions. I think I would be able to be a positive influence on this wiki by being able to have more authority so I can resolve arguments, and make sure our guidelines in the wiki are followed. Another reason I think the moderator rank could be useful to me is to be able to make sure people don't insult others, whether on purpose or accidentally. Since this show has 1. Many asian people and 2. An amount of LGBTQ people. As I am under both of those categories, I think I can prevent people from being insulted and make sure everyone can be respectful towards each other. Thank you for your time and consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avatar Kesu (wall • contribs) 23:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Not done Your comments and attitude on the boards are very positive, but I do not see a history of helping to moderate comments or discussions thus far. Remember that you do not need these rights to help moderate or to be a positive influence; you can help ensure the guidelines are followed without being a moderator, and indeed this is something we encourage users to do. Particular personal traits might give you an insight into how people may perceive certain comments, but they are not necessary to successfully moderate such issues or mediate arguments between users; far more important is demonstrating a history of doing so. My suggestion would be to work on this by reporting posts that require attention and helping to ensure the guidelines are followed, and then reconsider applying again in the future.

Hello, I would like to apply for moderator rights. I know to a small extent of what being a moderator is like. However, the current status of modereator on that wiki is small for a small community. Regardless, I would have a positive influence and will encourage people to follow the Guidelines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bomb Arrows Solve Everything (wall • contribs) 12:09, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- Not done I don't see any history of comment moderation in your contributions thus far, such as in reporting offending posts or asking other users to follow the guidelines where appropriate. Part of being granted these rights is that it helps or makes it easier to do what you are already doing without them, not to simply allow you to do these things. My suggestion would be to work on building up this history, and then consider applying again in the future. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 12:49, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Iv'e always wanted to be a mod for a while, and I'd like to apply! I work well with others, I'm passionate about ATLA and TLOK, I have great leadership skills, and I'm active pretty often, after just recently coming off of a break from Fandom. I understand I may be rejected, and the good thing about me is I fix mistakes and get over obstacles so I believe I'll be on the team someday. Thanks for considering me!

- Not done Your desire to be a moderator on the wiki is very admirable, but your level of activity on the wiki is rather sporadic. I also don't see any history of helping to moderate thus far, such as through reporting inappropriate comments or ensuring the guidelines are adhered to. My suggestion would be to continue being active on the wiki and help moderate the boards, and then consider applying again in the future. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 16:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'm coming to you today to ask whether I could become a moderator for the Avatar discussion page! It is my favorite place on the internet, and I think it's an awesome environment. But occasionally, toxicity does appear in that section of the wiki, and though I do my best to report rude and inappropriate comments to mods and admins and ask the commentator to stop, I feel that they often don't, and while the admins try their best, they're not always active. I've active a fair bit of the time, and think I have pretty good relations with the overall community! I promise to not break the moderator rules and conditions as I understand them! And if you think that I don't meet the requirements, could you tell me where I could improve? Thank you! 🌀 Tibhod 🌀 3:01, November 24 2021 (UTC)
- Done Apologies for the delay. Your activity on the boards shows a desire to help keep things constructive, and you have also been reminding other users to stay on topic where needed. Just remember that if there is something you are unsure about, you can always ask for a second opinion. HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 12:38, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Burned Bloods[]
Burned Bloods (wall · contribs · editcount · logs) Hello. I would like to request moderator rights for a couple of reasons. I have a good history of reporting posts that require locking or deleting and reporting comments. I am a very active member of the wiki and warn users if their posts will get locked or deleted so they can make changes and then report them if they don't. Also, I have even continued this behavior over multiple accounts (that I have unfortunately lost) and I always ask questions about the discussion policy for preparation for this. I am also friends with many people in the community and I could bring a new perspective to the team and help those who have unfavorable opinions understand where the mods are coming from and making sure they adhere to the rules. I do have to note my shortcomings though. I do not have the best editing history (being I don't edit to often) but I will try to do better with this. Overall, I have a good reporting history and will try to make up for my lack of editing. Thank you for considering my request. Burned Bloods (wall • contribs) 12:05, February 21 2022 (EST)
- Not done While I do see the many comment and post reports that you usually send to moderators and admins, it also takes a certain attitude and disposition, as well as a basic understanding of our policies and the rationale behind them. The blocking policy is meant to prevent disruption of the environment of the wiki, not to punish users for their actions. The same reasoning goes for blocking posts or deleting comments. It is also necessary to understand that moderators and administrators' actions are based on following those same policies, and not directed to conspire or to favor/target specific people. That being said, I do appreciate the polite attitude you have lately taken towards other users who seem to be damaging the community's space for discussion. So I suggest to continue doing this and keep in mind what moderation is really meant to encourage in the boards so you can apply again in the future. Dcasawang1 • wall 21:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request for the moderator role, again. I have taken the advise given to me and I have become more level headed and less overzealous. I have realised that quality is better than quantity. I truly believe that I have gained the experience to become a moderator. I have grown as a person over the 2 years I have been on the wiki. It was last year that I decided to request for moderation, I red the advise and worked on myself. Please consider me to become a moderator. Thank you I appreciate it. -TheFanficKid 20:48, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Well, you know me, folks. I'd like to once again request moderator rights. I've spent a lot of time thinking about where I can improve on my previous behaviors, and want to focus on being polite, and not putting my personal views into discussions, but instead simply trying to deescalate them. I understand my struggles, and can and have improved. Please take this into consideration. Thank you for your time. 🌀 Tibhod 🌀 14:52, March 26 2022 (UTC)
- Not done Politeness is always appreciated, but I have not seen a moderator behavior or a real attempt to moderate discussions nor trying to de-escalate them. You have not reported a post in more than two months either. Dcasawang1 • wall 02:13, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I think I'd make a good moderator because:
- I am very active, meaning I can see any messages that violate wiki guidelines or reports very quickly after they are posted and take them down.
- I think I have quite a lot of respect from the community, which would likely make them more willing stop violating guidelines, rather than if, say, they were asked to stop by a mod who they'd barely interacted with before.
- I have no history of vandalism, sockpuppetry, or posting inappropriate comments whatsoever.
- I have a large history of comment and post moderation, often reporting any posts I see that break wiki guidelines (I also report ones that a lot of users may not realize break wiki policy, such as WWW polls containing character from media other than Avatar).
- I have a very vast history of contributions, and while I often am not overly meticulous with my grammar, I think my posts are still good quality in that they are interesting and give good views on my opinion.
If you don't think I am currently fit to be a mod then please could you give me some feedback on what areas I should improve upon? Thank you.

Hello there! Its SkrillStryke here. I would like to apply for the position of a Moderator (though it is fair I am no longer as active as I used to be but anyways). The reason I think I would make a good Mod is because, I am a fairly active member, I can tell when someone is being rude to another user or violating guidelines, I respect my other peers on this wiki and I am friendly with quote a few of them, as far as I know; I have no history of sockpuppetry, vandalism or posting inappropriate comments/content and I report something when it needs to be reported. Hope you will consider my request! Thank you. SkrillStryke (wall • contribs) 11:40, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Not done Apologies for the late reply. Looking through your activity, I do not see a particular history in helping to moderate the boards, such as in reporting comments or reminding users of the guidelines on the wiki.

Hello! I'm here today to request for moderating rights for the wiki's discussions. I am very active on the discussion pages, and always try to have civil and deescalate situations. However, as of recent, many toxic and policy violating posts have risen. Although though I report these posts when I see them, I believe with these rights I will be able to take action immediately, in case an admin is not currently online. I have no history of vandalism, sockpuppetry, or any other violations of wiki policies. I believe I can make a strong discussion moderator, and thank you for considering this post. ㊙ aeriux ㊓ 07:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
