LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Requests for Rights/Administrator

This is LMBW's requests for administrator page. If you wish to request administrator rights, please read this page first, and make sure you fulfill the requirements listed here.

To file a request, press the button below and fill out the requested field(s).

Requests made on this page made are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 25 supporting votes and 75% support out of the total supports and opposes, then their request will be closed as successful. Users voting on a request must give a valid reason for their support or oppose. Most requests last for around a week, unless there is clear consensus either way after a short period of time.

If a user has requested administrator rights before, add  to the end of the topic header. If a request for administrator fails, the user who requested the rights must wait 8 weeks before requesting them again. For users with multiple requests, add the respective number of the request. It is also considered good practice to link to previous requests for rights when nominating a user.

Archived requests can be found here.

Slicer Vorzakh(5)
Let me just get this clear: I do fit the requirements to run for admin. I have enough edits, I have enough chat mod experience. Nowhere in the rules does it say anything about needing current CM status to run. Under the current RFR policies, this request is completely valid.

With one, two, or maybe even three admins going inactive this year, it's time LMBW got another admin. I'm willing to be an admin that listens to the community and does what it wants. I have experience with thousands of edits, more than a year of CM and DM experience, and I've been on the wiki for 35 months. I feel that out of the most active users, I would connect to the community best through my various experiences while here.

Please vote, and add as much input as possible into your votes. Thank you. --Slicer Vorzakh (talk) 03:43, March 3, 2017 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) A very, very good hombre. Lots of exp and good standing with the rules --Navy Bravey with some Gravey (talk) 03:45, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * 2) i supported him last time read that reason 03:45, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * 3) I don't agree with most of the reasoning that was thrown his way in the past (most of it was uncalled-for bias) and he says he can listen to the community. This is something that the community can hold him to. He's active and has lots of experience, and I supported him multiple times already, I'm not stopping now. (And yes, this is a legitimate RfR, I will bring up the relevant policies if need be.) ~ Vera ( Message me )
 * 4) As far as I know, Slice is trustworthy and a good editor. I think he is responsible and I haven't seen any situation in which he performed poorly as to lower my opinion of him. Lilac Neko (talk) 04:35, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * 5) Per Hype. Brick425 (talk) 04:47, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * 6) I think Slice is a good guy and a hard worker. I don't really get why so many are opposed, but he has my support. -Dr. Satl, M.D.

Oppose

 * 1) If you were currently a CM, I'd definitely consider it. However the fact that you got demoted in the first place shows that you may not be quite ready at the moment (not debating over the fairness of the demotion, I'm no expert regarding the situation). There's also the fact that I've been active in chat for the past few weeks and have barely seen you, although I don't really care about that since you've shown to be active in the past and I could see you being active as an Admin. If you made a CM RfR and succeeded, however, I'd definitely support. -Sam
 * 2) Absolutely not. Don't get me wrong, I like you man, but this seems like a really bad way to go about it, especially given what I know about how you feel regarding the wiki and certain users. Run for Chat Mod again and I'll support, and we can go from there. ~Mizutsune
 * 3) Followijg your demotion I don't see how you could handle admin. Trying to expose this loophole also doesn't sit right. Mc1
 * 4) just to start I'll submit the clearest reason to oppose this; this really shouldn't be valid. if there were a vote to adjust policy to require admins to currently hold cm/dm rights i'm confident it would pass with a fair majority. second clearest reason; upon inquiry about this rfr you said "idek how serious it is fort". beyond that, on the off-chance this is actually serious, basically per everyone else. far from someone i'd consider admin material. "Has more a sense of entitlement rather than of actually deserving the rights," "you've showed basically no admin qualities since then, just a load of... apathy, really," "but this seems like a really bad way to go about it, especially given what I know about how you feel regarding the wiki and certain users." further on the disgraceful subject of the idea that this is even a valid rfr it makes it even worse that part of your platform is closing loopholes exactly like this one, lol. definitely per ale on that. reeks of pretentiousness. A full oppose thanks ~ eoe
 * 5) Sorry, no. The sudden jump from no CM rights to admin is too much. First start off with getting CM and/or DM again, then we can start talking. Exposing a loophole doesn't work at all, and, quite frankly, shows signs of desperation, especially when you read the introduction. Has more a sense of entitlement rather than of actually deserving the rights. You said in chat "if I become admin I can help find loopholes in the rules and close them". Yeah, but you don't use loopholes to your own advantage and then close them. And let's not forget that you got demoted just over two months ago. Since then, you seem to have gone extremely quiet, and you've showed basically no admin qualities, just a load of... apathy, really. As I said already, try to go for CM first, in a few months, then DM, then admin. Patience is the name of the game here. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 09:51, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * 6) Let's be honest: this wiki is focused on the community side while content is a minor part, and you aren't Chat or Discussions Moderator anymore. For me, you should have one of these rights first before running for Admin again, so sorry, but it's oppose here. This is also the fifth RfA you do, and at this count of requests, I think you're just powerhungry here.

 * 7) This seems rather random considering your current lack of rights, and I really haven't seen any adminlike qualities from you as of late, so unfortunately I'm going to have to agree with Apple on this one; run for chat moderator and then we'll talk.

 * 8) Another admin, yes, you, no, per above reasons^Live long and prosper (talk) 13:25, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * 9) Would have supported a while back but not now due to the reasons outlined above by others. ~ Roddy

Comments

 * This is just me, Sam, but I find it very unfair to say that. He got promoted once and he could easily do it again. I don't see the point in leaping through all these RfRs when he can go straight for the appropriate role. 04:38, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * In addition to what Kep said, let's not forget why Slice got demoted in the first place. Brick425 (talk) 04:46, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
