Comments


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.

So I'm requesting administrator rights. I used to think you had to be something special, to actively lead the community, to be an admin. You don't. Administrators simply have extra tools to help the community, and I believe I could put these tools to good use. I've been an active member of this community for three years, and a patroller since early 2014. I'm one of our most active editors; I understand the mainspace. While not much of a coding guru, I can easily throw together and fix templates, and am always looking to learn more. I've been a chat mod and forum mod for about three months, and I believe I use these rights as effectively as possible. I am fully capable of managing chat and board threads. I have for a long time wanted administrative rights for their editing tools, I have been involved in several past instances where the ability to delete pages and files would have helped. I haven't seen as much activity as usual from our current admins lately, and my activity would be an asset to the team. If you vote neutral or oppose, please explain what I could do better.

Support

 * 1) Has been a pretty good CM and edits frequently, don't see any reason why he shouldn't have admin.
 * 2) I think he'll do fine. User:legoanimals750
 * 3) Fine chap, has a good understanding of rights and how to use them, and a lot of experience with editing. Mel    00:05, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Good man, I don't see why not ;)
 * 5) Understands the wiki well and is highly active. Per all above. ~
 * 6) Per the above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 02:42, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I have absolutely no idea about this ATM. I'll stay neutral for that reason. Marcel77799 (talk) 23:02, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I'm not sure. We could use someone as active and knowledgeable as Benboy, but there are some things that make me hesitate (e.g. the whole thing with Skul's fanfics...). I may change my vote later. 23:46, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Per above. -Brick
 * 2) Eh. Not so sure. I havent seen you too active lately, but that may just be me. I also feel like you arent bringing anything special to the table that our other admins cant do. No offense, its just my honest opinion. >---Avalair---> (Talk to meh) 00:20, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) He's proven himself a great editor and CM, but it feels a little sudden. Let me take a look around and see what I can find before I make a decision.

Oppose

 * 1) I'm sorry, but I don't trust you. No matter what you're involvement with those stories, you were involved. It shows poor judgement, and I don't want that in an admin. People make dumb mistakes, but that's way too far down the dumb move scale for my liking.- ToneTyphoon
 * 2) Per Tone.  All the way.  Putting those stories up was inexcusable for someone wanting to be an admin.  A Fuzzy Little Hobbit (talk) 02:27, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) One time I would have supported you, but I do not feel safe around you nor do I trust you. You might understand the part of the wiki that is LMB content, but you are not the best for the community. You claimed to have changed, but all you did was  hide it underneath. You still hang out with the same people and laugh at the same jokes. Lilac Neko (talk)
 * 4) Per everyone above, most of the issues I have with you are behavioral. Slizerguy
 * 5) Per above. ~ Fort
 * 6) Per the same reasons Lily and the others stated. And besides that, it's not like we even need another admin anyway. Luke McSwagger 13:24, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 7) Agreed with the others, such an "alter ego" is quite unacceptable for an admin, really... Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 13:26, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 8) Not a good role model, I don't feel I can trust him at all. Sure, he's funny and cool sometimes, but mere edits do not an admin make. Aravis (talk)

Comments

 * Just throwing this out there, I in no way endorse those Skul's stories, I just put them on my wiki for some reason a while back and completely forgot about their existence. I remembered they were there and removed them a month ago.
 * Ben, you removed those ten days ago. A Fuzzy Little Hobbit (talk) 02:28, June 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * I was being harassed via those fanfics. When I asked you about their existence, you tried to shift blame off of yourself and denied they existed. Also you yourself told me you grew numb to the trash certain users say. Why would I want that in an administrator? Lilac Neko (talk)
 * I requested Ben save them on his wiki when I was forced to remove them from mine. I only wrote the stories involving Lilac because another user-not Ben-supported them. Initially Ben refused to put them up but I talked him into it to protect my stories. The fault is mine, not his. Skule
 * That doesn't mean he didn't do it. You could have easily saved them in Word. Lilac
