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.

HyperFlash Studios
Hello everyone! I am HyperFlash Studios, and I am running for administrator for several reasons. First of all, we don't have many active coding admins, and I have an understanding of Javascript and I'm learning CSS. I'm also on consistently at night, and I edit a lot, something most of our admins don't do (for those who care). I have a good understanding of the wiki's policies and use common sense. I understand that this is a rather short time to run for administrator, but I feel I could help out the wiki better with the tools provided to me as an admin. Also, I can stop "pretending," as some people tell me I'm doing. Thank you for your time considering me. ~Hype (Message me) 02:04, September 10, 2016 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) In the past months, I've seen Hyper mature an extreme amount. He's gone from being a random guy on chat to a decent forum & chat moderator as well as a competent editor. He is quite dedicated to the wiki, frequenting chat and wiki activity. He also takes initiative, which is something I appreciate. I believe he can actually accomplish things as admin, not just sit around like a bunch of old men as the current admins often seem to do. Hyper has my support, and I believe he would make an excellent addition to the (slightly inactive) current admin team. -benboy
 * 2) Per Ben. Hyper has matured immensely over the past few months and actually uses common sense. He gets things done efficiently and effectively, which is something that the current admin team seems to be struggling with. NG (talk) 02:49, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Totally! This guy has done so much for this wiki already, he'd be a great Admin. Purplebrick333 (talk) 03:07, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Though an admin is maybe not needed right now, I always thought you'd be a good admin. However, get more active.  Yada   Dark  http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/picsou/fr/images/d/db/Emoticon_Picsou.gif 06:56, September 10, 2016 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I would be lying if I said that Hyoer hasn't expressed a significant degree of competence as a chat moderator and patroller, however I'm unsure if you're ready for these rights as of now and frankly don't really think another admin is necessary. I will likely switch my vote later. Monocle Man   ( wall  •  contribs ) 02:13, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) You have the potential to be a great Admin, however you aren't all that active anymore, and because of that I'm not sure how effective you'd be as an Admin. ~Sam
 * 3) I could honestly go either way. You're a good mod, but there are some valid oppose points. -slice
 * 4) You're a great guy and I can sort of see you as an admin, but I currently do not see the need for another admin. Also per the other neutral statements. a wild rom
 * 5) had this to be done a couple months ago I would've supported, but recently your activity has been questionable. That is the only reason why I won't support you, but I don't feel it's severe enough to warrant an oppose -MC
 * 6) Per the other neutral statements. ~maj
 * 7) Well, you haven't been very active lately, but with that aside, you are a good editor and good CM. However I really don't feel the need for another admin rn. But I may change my mind later. LegoWebby101

Oppose

 * 1) No. Fist of all, we don't really need admins right now. We have several, plus two consistent admins, being ale and AP. Recently I have witnessed behavior from you not befitting an admin. You are impulsive, you don't wait for an okay from admins and instead choose to barge ahead with things, the interview being the most recent issue. You're also quite rude. You undermine both admin and other mods' opinions by either contradicting them in front of everyone, or, you write off whatever they have to say with a simple "meh." I don't think you're mature enough to handle such a position.  The Bubble of Impossibility   ( wall  •  contribs ) 02:11, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) You come across as more of a go-it-alone, lone wolf type of person as opposed to a team player.  While that may be acceptable and beneficial in many instances, I don't believe that personality is befitting for an admin here. -/\/\Y (talk)
 * 3) I think you're a great mod. But Bubbles has some good points. However, I don't see how the interview thing is such a big deal. And I'm not just saying that because I was interviewed. Honestly I don't think many people read it because it's at the very bottom of the main page. Brick425 (talk) 03:06, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) Perfect mod but as you were inactive for a while I want to see if you are even neded as admin (the two we have aren't leaving soon). —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 5) Agreed with Bubbles. We really don't need another admin. And we really, really don't need, or want, a "lone-wolf" admin. Communication between admins is paramount. I haven't seen Hyper do that for the interview case. And you say you "edit a lot"? You sure? It saddens me a bit because back when you were more active, I could have even supported you, but you seem to have developed negatively since going semi-active. A real, real shame.

 * 6) We're good on admins, and I'm not entirely sure you would be a great admin (no offense). ~ Gandy
 * 7) Per all of the above. - Roddy

Comments

 * Bubbles: I would like to calmly point out that the Featured Editor interviews were my responsibility since the beginning, and that that never required an administrator's "ok" to do. I could not reach anyone to be interviewed myself more than a week after the day it should have been done, so I interviewed someone who was available and willing. ~Hype (Message me)
 * Just like to point out that Hype was away, Ale... :P -Skull
 * Yeah, but you don't write "I edit a lot" when you haven't been doing consistent editing for over month. "I do a decent amount of edits" would have been much fairer. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 13:51, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
