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.

Slicer Vorzakh (4? 5?)
Here I am again, what a surprise. So this is my fourth time running for admin, and I do sincerely believe that I have improved since attempt 1. Also, our current team of active admins has significantly decreased, with only 2 or debatably 3 consistently active admins. I would fit well into that requirement, as I am quite consistently active. Another point where I feel that I would be a good fit in is balance if admins. Our two most active ones, Ale and Ape are quite unique to each other in their administration styles. Alemas is quite a conservative admin, while Ape is in the middle between conservative and liberal in admin style. I feel that my admin style would be quite liberal, and I feel that this will bring a much needed balance in the admin team. Please think about your vote, and please explain your reasoning behind each vote, as it does help me improve. -Slicer Vorzakh

Support

 * 1) Full support, I really don't understand why people have this preconcieved notion that Slice is rude, unprofessional, or doesn't do his job well. He's been a mod for a good while longer than some of us, he's helpful, uses common sense better than probably anyone else... he'd make a good admin. (Ale, if you say he's unprofessional then there is no hope for you.) ~ Hype ( Message me ) 19:14, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) We simply need another admin and Slice is still at the top of my list for worthy candidates. Per my previous supports for him and Hype as well. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 3) We need another admin for sure and I think Slice is one of the more qualified people out there. LegoWebby101
 * 4) I'm sure Slice would do a good job and by now he is certainly ready for it. Marcel77799 (talk) 19:29, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) I think the fact that he bothered to write a description this time shows improvement. (derp3) And per the above. - Sir Guurahk
 * 6) Per Hype. Brick425 (talk) 19:43, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 7) this place needs an admin that is described by some as "rude, unprofessional, or doesn't do his job well". time to "shake/spice/other-s-words-that-work-here things up" (not sarcastic i really support this dude Sunglasses.png]])[[File:Avatar2260_1.jpeg Dubba Booey (talk) 20:15, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) Per everyone. Slice has been waiting too long and needs a chance. ~The Purple Brick  -- Chat with me!  20:23, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) Yes like obvisly why yess -Firetiger invalid reason- ~ Hype  ( Message me )
 * 10) He seems to be a very regular editor here, so I don't see why not. Rapmilo (talk)Rapmilo
 * 11) I didn't see anything wrong with you since the last RFA so I don't see why not, after all.

 * 12) While I do think there are plenty admins for the current amount of active users and won't really support another admin who I feel won't add much I agree that there needs to be someone who has a different take on things in comparison to the current admins. ~ Roddy
 * 13) I think right now we need a new admin. Three consistently active admins is a good number, and I like what slice said about having three different admins with different viewpoints. Could help to level everything out. The Bubble of Impossibility   ( wall  •  contribs ) 22:06, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 14) Capable, trustworthy, and a cool guy. Full support. ~ EOE

 * 18) Per most of the above. ~ kƎd 17:58, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * 19) Per a lot of the above. And we could use another active admin. - King

Neutral

 * 1) On the fence for now, I'll probably change my vote later.  Monocle Man   ( wall  •  contribs ) 20:01, November 23, 2016 (UTC) Moved to Oppose
 * 2) Leaning one way, but not sure quite yet.. Romaniandude12 (talk) 23:41, November 23, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I must oppose. Though Slice is generally a fine user, he frequently demonstrates qualities that I really do not want in an admin. I see impatience, often bias, and a strong argumentative side with little respect for other users, authority, or rules. I never like listing negative things, and I've got nothing against Slice as a person, but I must vote my conscience for admin, and it's a definite oppose for me this time. -BusyCityGirl
 * 2) Agreed with BCGirl here. When I look at stuff like this crude comment, this condescending comment, this whole debacle (from 02:49 onwards), the fact that he clearly hates my guts, the fact that he often ridicules the admin team, the fact that he'd consider me retiring as "GREAT NEWS" (08:17)... I think "How are we supposed to work with him? How can the admin team have a person with such a poor attitude? How can we work with a person who has such completely different opinions from the rest of the team? How are we supposed to work with a person who clearly has major problems with at least one, if not more, current admin members? How can we possibly hope to work together?". I wouldn't be confident at all in having him as admin. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 13:08, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) * Almost all of what you linked are jokes, but as youv'e made quite clear to me recently, you think I'm a soulless bastard who doesn't have a sense of humor. As for the thing with guac, I still do stand by what I said about common sense. No one had explicitly called for people not to swear and guac suddenly just jumped in and called me a bad mod. Also, per hype on the fact that I'm impossible to work with because I have different views than the admin team. Except, wait a minute, out of the majority of the admin team that I've talked to, they've said that at least in some aspects that they share more views with me than you. So please open yourind and see that I'm not this dead demon that you think I am. -Slice
 * 4) Upon further contemplation, Alemas does raise some good points, though I do not agree with him entirely. Although Slice has exhibited some significant improvements in maturity over the past few weeks or so, not-so-far off incidents such as some which Ale listed trouble me too much. Honestly, if you had waited a few more weeks and kept up what you're doing now I'd probably have supported, but for the time being I find myself forced by uncertainty to oppose. Monocle Man   ( wall  •  contribs ) 17:08, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) Still a, no-where near convinced on him. Personalky I must agree on Alemas. Also hopefully the mantra of quality over quantity prevails-MC1

Comments

 * BCGirl, I'd just like to point out that other moderators (and administrators) argue rather frequently, and Slice has more respect for the rules than a majority of people here. He also a particularly stellar job of using common sense, so I don't know where these issues have come up. He's improved a lot since his previous RfRs. ~ Hype ( Message me )


 * Alemas, I'm sorry, but to tell the truth, the very question of "How are we supposed to work with someone who has completely different opinions" shows only extreme bias. You should be able to work together no matter what,nkt be worried about an administrator who thinks differently from you, because that's an okay thing. And just because slice may have had a "poor attitude" as you put it, doesn't mean you're exempt from the same. Several users have had issues with multiple members of the site administration team as well, and how are we supposed to change who's in power? Demotion petitions don't work because the admins vote on them and would probably veto all of them no matter what the community wants. What do you want from us? ~ Hype ( Message me ) 13:43, November 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Alemas does it really matter if Slicer hates you or not? is that a valid reason to oppose him? i dont think so. Avatar2260_1.jpeg Dubba Booey (talk) 22:33, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Per Hype and Sky. It's you that needs a different perspective, Ale. Sorry. Brick425 (talk) 23:29, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll just say that I did try to get a "different perspective", namely by explicitly asking him why he disliked me so much... he refused to list any reason, citing "personal preference". Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 23:36, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * "he doesn't like me" still isnt a valid reason pal Avatar2260_1.jpeg Dubba Booey (talk) 01:38, November 26, 2016 (UTC)
