RationalWiki talk:Requests for user rights

This place existed?
I never knew a page like this existed, but I don't feel right about asking directly for any position, I rather let the higher ups decide if they want to or not. 02:26, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * To be fair, this page is a little "off" the site; it's not listed in Help:Contents for starters. 02:36, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, keeps people from flooding the page. 02:38, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * We can deal with that and it's not worth to have people who may have missed it. 20:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I get it. 20:55, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Since when do people have to ask to be sysop here?
I'm getting old, I remember the days when everybody who wasn't a destructive troll got the mop on this site. What a Wonderful World (talk) 15:08, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Since when? Since never! Most users are still made sysops in a matter of weeks. This page is for people who think they've been overlooked and for requesting sexier additional rights other than being a simple sysop. Spud (talk) 15:16, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep. I think an example the page gives involves being overlooked for demotion. RoninMacbeth (talk) 17:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That is correct. I think there's more of a reticence among some Sysops to give Sysops out like candy due to a number of time-wasting Coop cases. Bongolian (talk) 17:20, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
