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.

Hi everyone! I've been here for almost a year and a half now, and have been a CM for about six months. I love this place. I want to help out where I can. And I think that being an admin would be something that I could do to help make this wiki better. In light of Alemas's recent blog, I think that we need more unity and leadership in the admin team. I hope to be able to add to that. A lot of you guys know me, I'm almost always on at night. I am also pretty active in the other aspects of the wiki, and know a good deal about code and editing.

I think that I would be an effective admin. I am pretty responsible, though I do tend to be a goofball sometimes. I try to be friendly to everyone I meet as much as I can. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hopefully being able to help out! Legofrodo12

 * 1) Heck yes! Froda is one of our most mature users and she has a super keen sense of judgement. Would be a great addition to the team! Avalair ★  Talk  ★  Wall 
 * 2) An absolutely from me. She's one of my closest friends here, and she's very capable for the position. -NXTein
 * 3) if she is willing to remain active (which she should thasks to her new crib) she is the ideal admin. one of the few potential candidates capable of admin. MC1
 * 4) Per above Animal Geek ~ Message Wall
 * 5) yep yep yep per all the above - Felldo 15:01, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Oh yeah, per all five above! -Bee
 * 7) Unlike some of our other not super active admins, Froey is still able to be contacted via other means even when she's gone for a time from the wiki. Furthermore, she's more serious and mature and is often an anchor in the wiki when you need someone to moderate a crazy chat or solve a problem. She's caring and fairly easy to talk to, and is kind and is also a pretty good editor. I think she's more involved in the social aspect of the wiki rather than the content aspect, but really, that's what we need help with right now. She should make sure to practice editing and maybe learn some basic code if she has time. Lilac Neko (talk) 15:49, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) My only objection is that I don't see you on much, and hey, that's practically a requirement around here. --Grandpa Weirdo  (yell at me)  16:00, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Don't know you, so I can't judge.  The Double Devil (talk) 05:05, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I can't see you performing any form of admins duties, though you are a good CM and a great person. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 3) Per Keplers, she's friendly and a great CM overall but I'm not sure about admin. Activeness might be a problem. -~π~ (talk) 13:42, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Per above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 16:42, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Neutraled originally, but I realized that I neutraled because I did not believe that she can be an effective administrator at this point, so it made more sense to oppose. I have nothing personal against her, and I believe she's fine as a CM, but I haven't seen anything to show that she can handle the responsiblity of being an admin. She also doesn't have high activity and a few incidents make me question her personal judgment. Not a no forever, but I don't think this is the time. -Skul

You know, its been a pretty bumpy road for me and I never thought this would be happening, but I have finally decided to put up an admin request. I'm not going to write a long summary about myself and my journey as a moderator and a user on here, because I already did that. I am running for admin because I believe I will be a good addition to their team. I have been a chat moderator for just about 3 years and I am very active, on here just about every day, and very involved in community affairs. I know a good amount of programming (which unfortunately the majority of our current admins lack any knowledge of coding). As an admin I hope to aid in bringing the community together, as this is a rather dark time for our community and many of our admins are moving into inactivity. There have been times where I was on and an admin was needed but there were simply no admins on at the time. I have a proper understanding of the rules of this wiki, I am unbiased in most matters, and I use common sense. If you oppose, please leave something I can do to improve on for the future. Thanks.

 * 1) Ava is a mature and helpful user, he'd be a great Admin - KnightoftheLight
 * 2) Extremely active, fantastic moderator, and I know he'd be a great admin. He's also super friendly, which is vital. Haven't seen him get upset, at least not for a long time. Definite yes.Legofrodo12  03:29, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) I have faith in Ava to do a great job. He is fully qualified, is a great CM, is active, resolves disputes well, and uses common sense in all situations. He'll be a great addition to the admin team.-Skul
 * 4) I have wanted this for too long. He is capable, active, and most importantly neutrally cool-headed. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 5) I do believe you've grown a lot over the year. Earlier, you might not have had supports, but you've gained a fairly good relationship with the community from what I've seen, and you're active and working to improve the wiki all the time. You'd do well with these rights. Lilac Neko (talk)
 * 6) Ava is fantastic. He's already a great CM and would make a great addition to the admin team. -Nehpets7000
 * 7) Per above. -AP
 * 8) Ava is one of the most helpful, active, and friendly users I know, an amazing Chat Mod, and an all around great person. He definitely deserves this position. -HyperFlash Studios
 * 9) Per above. Ava is very nice, highly active, handles situations well, and is very helpful. He's a great CM, and he'd be a great admin too. -BlizardBrick
 * 10) Ava is the only CM I would support for admin right now. He understands the policy well and is a kind user who's in touch with the community. Definitely support.   Colonel Roy Mustang    (talk) 04:04, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 11) I've known Ava for a while now. A very well respected CM in our LMBW crazy family. He would do just fine as an admin.
 * 12) ava is a great mod and he handels situations well :3 -slice
 * 13) Echoing Lilac and Spider... Ava has really turned around...., and after much cogitation I think he would make a great addition to the Admin Team given how responsible he has been, great at modding chat, and a generally friendly and helpful person. Also, his coding skills would be appropriated. :P
 * 14) He's made a meteoric rise to one of our best CMs, and I think he would be a helpful, industrious, and active admin. He's well-liked and will bring much help to the efforts to heal our community. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 15) Yay per everyone above go ava go ava ~KiraNotKirac
 * 16) Per all the others. -NXTein
 * 17) Per above people Animal Geek ~ Message Wall
 * 18) There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but Avy is the best CM by far IMO, so logically I support him for admin. -Derpulse
 * 19) Per Above. --Anonymous Kontributor (talk) 12:45, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 20) Ava has shown himself to be competent and ready for the job. Also, per the above. -~π~ (talk) 13:40, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 21) yep yep yep per all the above. Ava would make a fantastic admin. - Felldo 15:05, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 22) Ava definately can handle Admin -Bee
 * 23) While the oppose votes raise valid points, I have never had any issues with him myself. Ava is competent and effective from what I have seen, though I confess that is limited. --Grandpa Weirdo (yell at me)  16:06, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 24) Per the above. ~EvilMidnightNG~ (talk) 16:45, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * Wow, I get to be "that guy" Anyway I dunno, my vote could be affected by my perception of you, which...is not the most mature perception?  I mean, you're a fine mod. I guess what I'm trying to say in my usual convoluted way is that admin is a big job, and I personally don't think you're there yet.  The Double Devil  (talk) 04:17, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Got friendliness down, got the activity down, but that's not enough. Not the best personality for the job. Not ready for the pressures and responsibilities I don't think. Maybe later on.
 * 2) S compared to everyone who says he is a great mod, I have to disagree. Many a time, I've come into conflict with him when trying to enforce rules, many a time my method would've been justified. I can't trust him as a CM tbh, let alone as an admin. He also seems to have difficulty understand difficulty simple statements at times.. And it's a one or other, and Froey gets the gig for me. - MC1
