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 contribute a decent amount to the wiki's mainspace, 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 Invalid, not active on chat
 * 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)
 * 5) Hype is a competent CoM and DM, and would make a great Admin. While he may not be the oldest user, he's picked up on the workings of this place quickly, and most definitely knows what he's doing. He's also said he'd update the homepage consistently, which hasn't been done since Ava left. ~ Sam
 * 6) Hype would do a good job balancing the current administrator team and would bring nothing but great change to this wiki. He's be an awesome bureaucrat someday. Some of our current administrators could learn from him. Definite support. - Packachoo - I'm One Arrogant Bastard
 * 7) Supporting because I can't think of a good reason why not. Also this recent situation with the interviews has shown me that you can be mature while also standing your ground when you need to. You'll do well 𝕃𝕆ℕ𝔼𝕐 𝕄𝕔𝕃𝕆ℕ𝔼𝔽𝔸ℂ𝔼
 * 8) Changed my vote - per above ~Gandy the Derpy DerpC
 * 9) Not sure what the fuss concerning the interview is all about. You're a consistently improving mod who has demonstrated a proactive and industrious spirit, when active of course. To say that you do things all on your own isn't really true in my eyes, as you've consulted with me quite a lot in PM about all sorts of matters. You'd be a good admin. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
 * 10) I trust you. Per the above. ~kEd Moved to Oppose
 * 11) Per the above. Also, inb4 "don't vote twice" jokes. Brick425 (talk) 02:47, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 12) I think he's worthy of Admin. I'm not too sure why he isn't already! -Marsh
 * 13) I think we need a new admin who excels in coding as we lost Ava and Spy. He also edits frequently and is active. a rom
 * 14) The only reason I voted neutral was because of his activity levels, but now he's more active so here I am. ~maj
 * 15) I've changed my mind. We could use another admin and I think he could do a good job. LegoWebby101 Switched to oppose
 * 16) Per above -Bliz
 * 17) Hype's done an excellent job as a mod, and would naturally be a great admin. Plus we need more. I vote yes! —Trenz
 * 18) We need more admins, and Hype has definitely gotten beter as a moderator since the beginning -slice
 * 19) Per any random person above. - Det
 * 20) Per above. I don't really have anything left to say except he'd do a pretty good job. :) ~EtherealSpirit (AKA Varn)
 * 21) moved to support - he has shown that he has a sustained period of activity now, on par with current admins, and already had the other necessary categories. Mc
 * 22) More competent than either of our admins. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way.
 * 23) Per above, and in my opinion, he does enough for the community to warrant being admin. -Dr. Satl, M.D.
 * 24) After some consideration I have deemed it appropriate to vote in favor. As usual, per all the above. :P - Sir Guurahk
 * 25) From what I've seen, Hype is an experienced editor, a good moderator, and an overall great bloke who would make a great admin. Letting him obtain these rights would stop him from "pretending" to be an admin (ik you said this hype but clarifying) like people say he is. It would also give him the tools necessary to do things he cannot do. As a good contributer to the community, he deserves this. <span style="border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; -khtml-border-radius: 10px; -icab-border-radius: 10px; -o-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius-topleft:12px; -webkit-border-radius-bottomright:12px; -o-border-radius-topleft:12px; -o-border-radius-bottomright:12px; -khtml-border-radius-topleft:12px; -khtml-border-radius-bottomright:12px; border:4px ridge navy; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top,red); background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,blue,black); background-image:-o-linear-gradient(top, blue,black); background-image:-khtml-linear-gradient(top, red,black); background-image:linear-gradient(top, blue,black); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em #FF00BF; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em #; -o-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em silver; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em silver; background-color:silver"> QuantumHedgehog
 * 26) After reading the above supports. I don't see a reason not to support Hyper. He's gotten this far so I trust him. It&#39;s not what you got its what you do with it...... That makes you a hero (talk) Bio

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) Moved to Oppose
 * 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  Switched to support 
 * 3) could honestly go either way. You're a good mod, but there are some valid oppose points. -slice moved to support
 * 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  Switched to Support
 * 5) Per the other neutral statements. ~maj  Switched to Support
 * 6) 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 Switched to Support
 * 7) Changing my vote to neutral aka my usual vote since I don't wanna get into mny mistakes again. - T-007Bond aka Rebooted
 * 8) Once again. I don't really care. - Marshal6000
 * 9) You are a good editor and a good chat moderator, but I think there's no need for another admin atm. - Peud
 * 10) Per the above -SoE
 * 11) I'm not really active enough to say, but I can echo what Ale said.
 * 12) Per the above. - Verrack

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) Moved to Support
 * 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. Moved to Support
 * 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. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:32, September 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * 6) Per all of the above. - Roddy
 * 7) My reasons are quite similar to Izzy's and Ale's. Plus, how long have you been here exactly? You're a good content mod, and I have nothing against you personally. I just do not give supports easily on admin RFRs, and I do not beleive you are ready. » Grandpa Weirdo™ » (wall)  » 02:48, September 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * 8) He joined 7 months ago, he should only be a CM, plus per all above. :| -pacman87
 * 9) Upon further contemplation, I do not believe Hyoer is mature enough to handle such a position, per above. Monocle Man   ( wall  •  contribs ) 00:18, September 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * 10) I'm torn because while you may have the proper knowledge on things neccessary for the position, and have been a great Mod so far, I don't quite see you being active enough plus we seem to have enough admins as it is. Also for other reasons above, I just don't think it is neccessary. -NXTein
 * 11) Hyper certain has the potential for becoming a good admin in the future. IMO it's a bit too early for him right now. I think it'd be better to wait a bit and let him show us more. Marcel77799 (talk) 10:32, September 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * 12) I'm sorry dear, you're not ready yet. Per the above. ~kEd
 * 13) Sorry buddy, but I've changed my mind again. Per above. LegoWebby101

Comments
To some I'd also like to point out that we have two, maybe three consistently active admins and one of them is going inactive for two weeks


 * 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)


 * Ale: Technically speaking I'm still active, I just had to take a break to get some stuff in my life together. Also, I reached 6,500 edits faster than the vast majority of users on this wiki could, so I think it is safe and completely fair to say "I edit a lot." Finally, per my above comment, I never "needed" to talk to an admin about the interviews as they were mine to make decisions on from the beginning. Please recognize this fact, as it is crucial to understanding why I didn't talk to anyone else about it first. ~Hype (Message me) 01:28, September 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * If you wanted to emphasise the fact that you have a lot of edits, you could have said "I used to edit a lot before I had to take a little break in proceedings, however I still contribute a decent amount to the Wiki mainspace". That would have made everything honest and crystal-clear. Just saying "I edit a lot" makes me think you are CURRENTLY editing a lot, which isn't really the case. And I would like to point out again, given the circumstances at hand, you should have asked an admin first. Just because you are the only one responsible for a particular job doesn't mean you can do anything you want in this place without talking to others. You are still expected to consult yourself with others. Let this be clear to you: Lone-wolf admins do not, and should not, exist. Currently you are a lone-wolf discussions moderator, and that's already not acceptable, and caused problems. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 09:50, September 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * I am indeed still editing a lot currently, which is the case. And I would like to point out for the final time that the circumstances don't affect this and that I was never expected to talk to anyone else by more than two people, one of which is you. I do talk to others in situations that require talking to others, such as moderating, editing, etc. This interview issue so far has been blown out of proportion because one of our highest-ranking admins feels like he needs to be in control of it, even though it isn't his to manage. If this is how situations such as this, that were my decision to make, are going to be handled in the future, then I'm not sure I want to be a part of the admin team. ~Hype (Message me) 01:41, September 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * Lone wolf admins are users that try and take care of the entire wiki by themselves cough cough ale cough cough. Ale, there's a huge list of things that you have done without consulting other admins. - Pack - I'm One Arrogant Bastard
