RationalWiki:Requests for user rights
Welcome to your mother's basement! Here you can ask for autopatrolled, sysop rights, ninja rights, or tech rights.
Please include your reason for requesting the rights. For example, if requesting sysop rights, one could say: "I've been here for bloody ages and you fuckers forgot to give me sysop".
Please also {{ping|user's name}}
a mod or tech — otherwise, nobody will respond.

Tech: Rockford the Roe[edit]
Heyo, I'd like to get tech so I can rename Mr. Poot's accounts since Special:RecentChanges has become probably the most vulgar page on the site. I have some basic knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS and I'm pretty confident in my Google-fu skills if there's something I don't know. Rockford the Roe (talk) 18:57, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Endorsements[edit]
- I am willing to formally vouch for Rockford as a decent enough tech candidate. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! /

Goat[edit]
- Hmm... guess I could use some assistance in renaming all those foul accounts... --Goatspeed. Watch meCircularR

- I should probably help you out a bit more when I see them. Is there a faster way than copy-paste of the name? Also we should disallow emojis and those strange characters in the username in the first place. Doesn't really do anything for us to get rid of, in fact it makes it super obvious the name should be blocked before they even vandalize anything, but it'd be nice to know the vandals are extra-frustrated in creating names...CoryUsar (talk) 19:04, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- @CorruptUser What I usually do when going on renaming sprees is I go to their contribs link, and then the "rename user" option at the top of the specialpage (the last option in a tech/mod's POV)- and then change their foul username, usually to some awesome one-liner. --Goatspeed. Watch meCircularR
asoningPrototype lab 19:34, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, and ditto on the strange characters (usually either lame accent mark/dot/chandrabindu/tilde stacking tricks or random characters from Akkadian, a long-dead but also kind of cool language spoken in ancient Sumeria that is distantly related to Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac.) --Goatspeed.

Questions for the candidate[edit]
- Are you familiar with past issues of abuse by techs that resulted in the loss of tech status? Bongolian (talk) 19:00, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- I haven't dived into any wiki drama since it's none of my business but I know that giving this kind of privilege would inevitably be abused. If I do anything beyond the scope, then you all can perma ban me. Rockford the Roe (talk) 20:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Ninja: Oxyaena[edit]
I'd like ninja back. I think I've proven myself trustworthy enough not to abuse it. — Oxyaena Harass 20:24, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Spud @Bongolian @Sirius — Oxyaena Harass 07:26, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Oxyaena Tell you what. If you remove that Retired template from your user page, I'll do it for you. I'm not going to demote someone who's not here. Spud (talk) 07:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Spud Okay, removed. — Oxyaena Harass 08:50, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Granted it. Don't cause a fuss with it please or make me regret it. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! /

Can I have my mop back please.[edit]
Tried a silly test to see if it was possible to desysop and block myself simultaneously using two computers. Seems to have failed. Could I have the mop back please. Knight CommanderIn ServiceTo HerGoatness 23:49, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Knight Commander Got ya covered. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 23:52, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks buddy! Knight CommanderIn ServiceTo HerGoatness 23:53, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Ninja powerz?[edit]
Can I be made ninja so I can do the Naruto run in public without drawing comments form other people hunt red links? I don't know if I will do it often, but last night I was kinda looking for small improvements I can make to random articles and stumbled upon some red links to zap. If the mood ever strikes me to go on a tear through them I'd rather not clog up recent changes. I'll ping, idk, @RWRW. Who I know is secretly a master of ninjutsu! (You can fool the others, RWRW, but I'm onto you...)
Regards. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 14:24, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Granted. Enjoy your newfound ninjutsu, stash of shurikens and ability to stealth your way around the wiki. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! /

Tech: JJPMaster[edit]
Someone said that I seem pretty good at technical stuff, and . . . quite trustworthy, and as such, I would like to request the tech user right. As for the criteria, I have some coding experience, especially in JavaScript (from my absurd hobby of creating user scripts) and Python/Pywikibot, I am okay to good at understanding how MediaWiki works, I understand edit filters quite well, and I can also google things if there is something I don't know. I also would like to confirm that I will try not to abuse my "powers" if I do get elected.
And also, renaming. I want to do it. JJP...MASTER![talk to] JJP... master? 17:43, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- With minor exceptions, you've only been editing here for less than a month. I think it might be better to wait a bit longer. Bongolian (talk) 18:52, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Bongolian: What exactly do you mean by "with minor exceptions"? JJP...MASTER![talk to] JJP... master? 00:16, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- I agree, maybe you could wait perhaps a couple more months and make a few more edits so it won't be as controversial. (In case you haven't been following site politics that closely, this is because the mob has lately gotten wary of people abusing tech rights, often doing things like unilaterally unsysrevoking people or worse, using a cheap-man's exploit-based checkuser and then trying to burn the evidence by suppressing the Chicken Coop- multiple times. Not to say we don't trust you. --Goatspeed. Watch meCircularR
asoningPrototype lab 01:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- By that I meant that you made 6 non-mainspace edits in December 2020, then did not edit again until January 2021. There's nothing wrong with that, but it would be nice if you had a longer track record of mainspace edits before requesting tech permission. Bongolian (talk) 03:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
