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. At least 96 hours must pass before a request can be closed.

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.

This is my third request for admin. That actually isn't as bad as it sounds, the second one was entirely successful and the first one only failed because I didn't have patroller. I guess I don't have patroller anymore either, scrap. Does that mean I have to run for it again first because if it does I'll just give up again. :P

I used to be an admin, people told me I was a good admin but I thought I wasn't and tossed in my shiny star in a small effort to turn my life around. It didn't work. So here I am and I mayaswell make myself useful. That isn't as sad and lonely in a "I don't matter to myself so I might as well matter to you guys" kind of way, it just means that I now realize I can balance other things and this place, instead of jumping from one extreme to the next. Balance is powerful, people. Also Harold was the one who honestly got me admin first with his amazing persuasive argument on my successful RfR, shoutout to him. He's great. Cheers guys.

Support

 * 1) Great user, has experience in administration and moderation, absolutely. - Rus
 * 2) how bout yes. lone could totally rock dis. -Tolk
 * 3) was a great admin before and has never abused his rights or done anything worthy of warning that I remember. I definitely want him back as an admin.
 * 4) Per Von. -AP
 * 5) We need active admins. This guy was a decent active admin before. Seriously, why not? We need this sort of guy... Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 11:00, November 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Per the above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 16:05, November 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * 7) You were very helpful as an Administrator before. I still remember that night when everyone was spamming and no Moderators were on for about an hour, and you showed up. Immediately you went to work enforcing order and checking up on the Chatlogs, and while your belatedness may have been a little too much for others, you were right on time for me. Full support.
 * 8) Loney is a balanced, articulate, and helpful person. He would make an excellent Admin, once again.
 * 9) Yeah, you were good Avalair ★ Talk ★ Wall
 * 10) You're a really cool person, Loney. You'd be a good admin :) -Silver
 * 11) You were a good admin before and we need another active admin, so I support. You continue to be mature and wise as well. Just...try and stick with us, okay? :p Fort and Ben have some points. When I left and resigned from admin, I made sure I was ready to handle this place before returning, so make sure you've done the same. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 12) Just don't try to crush little girls' dreams. I mean it. Invalid support reason and too few edits.
 * 13) Fair, kind, balanced, experienced. Very strong technical skills as well as social skills. That being said, similar to what Rio said, I do hope you are committed to adminship and the responsiblities it holds -- I want you as an administrator for the long term, not just until you resign again. :P -Harold89 (talk)
 * 14) What Rio said Purplebrick333 (talk)
 * Yup, you were fine before so you'll be fine now Aravis (talk)
 * 1) Admin rights shouldn't be that big of a deal, so it's ok if he lets go of them and decides he's ready to take up the responsibility again. Some people need a break. He was a very good admin and is a responsible and kind person. Lilac Neko (talk)
 * 2) We seriously lack admins right now, and you were competent while you had them, hence support GuacamoleCCXR (talk)
 * 3) I support. --The 13-Year-Old Ninja of Amazingness! (talk) 15:24, November 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) and here i thought the bloke was already an admin. anyway, considering mad is leaving one more admin would probably be p nice - LED
 * 5) Per everyone above.
 * 6) Was gonna write lengthy response detailing why Loney should be an administrator, but screw it. He's good, guys. and... yeah per everyone else
 * 7) It will be great to see you as one. I know that you'll do a great job. ;) -Varn. \d(^~^)b/
 * 8) Per above. =) -Bliz
 * 9) I shall now utter the strangest phrase ever posted on LMBW: Per Ale. --Grandpa Weirdo (yell at me)  05:23, November 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * 10) Per the above. KnightoftheLight (talk)
 * 11) Excellent user. Responsible. -Dr. Satl, M.D.
 * 12) Per above Cay (talk) 23:48, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) If you requested demotion because you wanted to "turn your life around" but failed to do so, are you sure you won't do the same thing again? And your entire argument for admin hinges on "people told me I was a good admin" without any actual reasons to support you except weird emotional stuff that you barely explained. ~ Fort
 * 2) Per Fort, in a way. ~KiraNotKirac
 * 3) i hesitate to support someone who threw these rights away and stepped down simply to return quite soon after
 * 4) Per Ben, basically. -Derpulse
 * 5) Per Fort and Ben Brick425 (talk) 20:27, November 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Per dort  The Double Devil (talk) 09:42, November 27, 2015 (UTC)

Comments

 * @Fort: I wasn't really going to try to convince anyone because I never have bothered to create an "argument" for myself in my previous RfRs, I just ask people to vote based on how they know me and see me themselves, not on how I see me. Plus it just feels weird to brag on myself. :P I also thought I made it clear with my comments about how I've now realized that I can still be active here as long as I keep it in balance that no, I'm not going to be running away from this again. Lone Lionheart 03:03, November 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Fair, still keeping my vote though. ~ Fort
 * 75% of the vote has been in your favor, and 25 support votes have been reached. Well done. The only problem is that since the Admins are slowly becoming inactive, it seems there's no one here to close this up...
 * I would close it but only buros are allowed to. :P   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 03:00, November 29, 2015 (UTC)
