Romaniandude12 (Talk - Contribs - Block/rights logs - Logs) - ([[Special:Editcount/Romaniandude12|Special:Editcount/Romaniandude12 edits, Special:Editcount/Romaniandude12/main mainspace]]) - (Back to user rights requests)

G'day mates. So, here it is. My name is Romaniandude12 and this is my request for administrative rights. I've been around these parts for over two years, and have been Chat Moderator for maybe nine months. As things stand, there are only four administrators who are considered active, with EED possibly being online enough to still be relevant. Due to such short staff and so many active users, I think we need another admin. Why choose me out of the available options? I feel I've done a decent job using my discussion and content moderator rights when they were fit to use, I know the community well, I understand some coding basics, and I know the rules well. I am online every day and am on chat whenever I can be. Please take my request into consideration and feel free to contact me via my message wall or on chat for further questions. --Romaniandude12 (talk) 02:28, April 9, 2017 (UTC)

  17. I used to think you lacked slightly in maturity, but the oppose votes I expected to see simply aren't there. If you're getting support votes from people who thought you were very immature in the past, that alone speaks volumes of improvement. Meanwhile, you have done satisfactory work in your current roles, and if you can juggle those roles, you can knock a little more responsibility out of the park. I see no legitimate reason to oppose or even go neutral; I look forward to seeing you as an Administrator. --Starrocks923 (talk) 01:07, April 10, 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Veralann, and I'm running for administrator for several reasons. Reason one is that I am a very active and dedicated member of the wiki, and can be found on chat daily. Reason two is I have quite a bit of technical expertise, which the current administration team lacks. Finally, I believe I am mostly liked by the community, however I'm always open to constructive criticism. I believe I can bring some variety to the wiki's administration team, and clean up the technical aspect of the wiki in the process. Thank you for your time. --~Vera (Message me) 02:53, March 21, 2017 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Honestly... waiting would have been beneficial. One of the admins who voted to keep the demotion said that perhaps you could run again "in a few weeks". Now just because there's no cooldown after demotions you're running again. Time and again I told you to have "patience". For the real oppose reason: Can't be trusted with the admin site as he thought about leaking information from it, including sensitive information. Assumed that there would be no admin policy on secrecy (told me in PM) instead of keeping an open mind, and therefore thought he could do what he wanted with admin site information (despite him hating it when others wrongly assume things). And despite thinking there was no admin policy, he said "even if I did if I were to leak it and an admin joined here I'd be screwed", indicating that he knew there would have been consequences. You really should have waited a few months before running again. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 09:28, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
  2. to be clear. i don't really have an opinion on the original demotion. i see the justification for it by the admin team and i see the justification against it (and for your restoration to admin) from others. but then there's this: Assumed that there would be no admin policy on secrecy (told me in PM) instead of keeping an open mind, and therefore thought he could do what he wanted with admin site information (despite him hating it when others wrongly assume things). regardless of my stance on the original demotion there's literally no justification for this at all. i see two options to explain why you would have said that: first, you (somehow??) genuinely were not aware of this. i don't see how any user lacking some of the most obvious knowledge about how this wiki's administration works, period, should possibly be welcomed into it. literally one of the first things you should learn about the admin team (or even assume coming into the community as it's not like this is non-standard practice) is that the secret off-wiki admin site is a place where secret things are secretly discussed and secrets are generally not shared. the idea that you could even be considered for admin without an understanding of such basic knowledge is ludicrous. the second case: you were lying about it to try to cover yourself for the comments that got you demoted in the first place. in that case (which i sincerely hope is the truth, because the alternative is just depressing) lying (badly) through your teeth (to someone who ought to be your colleague) in order to justify why you should be restored to power is awful and, at the very least, gives the impression you don't really want admin for the good of the wiki, you just want admin so you don't come off looking like an idiot because you got kicked off right as you got in. which is reasonable, but at least try to maintain some dignity rather than stooping low enough as to lie like that about it? there are far better ways to show you're legitimately interested in being an admin, if that is in fact the case. regardless, i feel an adequate understanding of either scenario (these are real scenarios here of course, not hypothetical) would lead to an oppose from anyone thinking about this with their heads rather than their "i like hype" or "i don't like the admins" organ (and yes i am talking to the (currently) 10 supports who evidently failed to read/willfully ignored ale's oppose). ~ eoe
  3. per eoe. It's too soon and it seemed too much like s cover-up when confronted. This was not a HGTTG situation where the rules were posted in a dark locked basement of city hall. You indicated knowledge of the rules in the screenshotted conversation but then reversed that and claimed you didn't know when later asked about them? I'm sorry, it just seems too analogous to a child trying to say they didn't eat the cookie while still having crumbs on their cheek. - EED
  4. Im sorry, but after the recent revelations, I can not trust you, Vera, as an admin of the wiki, certainly in the short term but possib also in the long term. To take part in off-wiki discussions on a questionable site and say you are contemplating giving secret, admin related material to certain users is quite frankly, bang out of order. Also, regarding the above supports - how can you have an admin with limited access to admin related tools? It's like having a car but not allowed to use the steering wheel! Don't get me wrong, I had nothing against Vera running the first few times, I think I supported him in each case, but sadly, I can't this time. MC1
  5. Per above. Monocle Man (wallcontribs) 23:27, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
  6. I'm with Ale on this one. It's too early regarding the recent events. You have potential to be a good admin, yes, but now is not the right time for it. Marcel77799 (talk) 20:43, March 22, 2017 (UTC)

Comments

  • I don't get it. Was he advised not to run so soon or told? Because that's what you guys are acting like. He has every right to run. Brick425 (talk) 13:37, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
    • The admins can't tell someone not to run. He's fully within his rights here, agreed. ~ Obi the LEGO Fan (Talk) (Edit Count) 16:26, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
  • Also — a note to the opposes. It's been two weeks since the demotion. The majority of the community and a few of the admins think the demotion should be overturned. Sure, he could have waited a couple more weeks (so it would be "a few weeks"), but what do you think is going to change in that time? Honest question. ~ Obi the LEGO Fan (Talk) (Edit Count) 16:26, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
    • I actually consider the demotion to have properly happened yesterday, when we finally finished the revote. The two-week period was just "limbo". That's how I see it, anyway... Waiting a few weeks (or months) would have showed maturity and patience so that he could fully process what happened ("patience" is a regular theme I've told him about time and again in the past few months, but instead he always went against it). It would have also given us an opportunity to see his behaviour during that time and make sure he still behaved properly despite the shock and disappointment of demotion. Remember the last times we had to demote someone, the users affected suffered a turn for the worst. Better play it safe and take things easy. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 16:51, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
      • I don't think that makes sense. From an administrative stand point, on our side of the red tape, sure. But he had to deal with being demoted for two weeks already, and there's no good reason to downplay that. If he had had the rights for that "limbo" period, it would be different. As it stands now, we've seen his behavior for the last two weeks after his demotion and he's behaved well. ~ Obi the LEGO Fan (Talk) (Edit Count) 17:26, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
        • Per this. He showed a lot of maturity when he suggested the compromise but I guess.Everyone just forgot about that. Thanks to Lilac for bringing it up. Brick425 (talk) 17:33, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
          • Actually, it was TSA who originally suggested it, then taken up by Vera. Unless Vera thought about it without looking at TSA's post. Derp Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 17:46, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
        • But this is different in any case. We demoted him and almost immediately after that a compromise was cooked up. There was a two-week period in which there was the possibility of him getting his rights back. We put an end to that, now he doesn't have the possibility anymore except via another RfR. He may have behaved well after the first "shock", but how about the second one? The "disappointing decision cooldown" counter has reset and we need to start judging things from yesterday, that's what I'm saying. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 17:46, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
          • I see what you mean. But keep in mind, although that may be your metric, most other people are looking at those two weeks as a valuable gauge of Vera's behavior and character. I know you want to err on the side of being overly cautious, and that's fine, but don't be surprised when a lot of people disagree with you. ~ Obi the LEGO Fan (Talk) (Edit Count) 17:54, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
            • yeah that's what i've done, but it doesn't always result in a positive conclusion like you're implying it does or should (being overly cautious?), see my oppose ~ eoe
            • Was this a response to me or Alemas? I'm not sure what you mean here. ~ Obi the LEGO Fan (Talk) (Edit Count) 23:46, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
  • Allow me to address the various points that the people who have opposed this RFR have made.  I request that you consider my arguments.
    • First, the ideas that “waiting would have been beneficial,” and “it’s too soon.”  This makes no sense.  Hype is going to be just as skilled now as he is going to be within another two weeks.  In addition, he has already waited a few weeks after his unfair demotion.  He is breaking no rules, and he has carefully followed policy.  Really, this isn’t a point, but a flawed reason to oppose.
    • Now, to address the fact that Hype “Can't be trusted with the admin site as he thought about leaking information from it.”  He didn’t, though.  That’s the whole point of the matter.  The admins didn’t judge Hype for a rule that he broke, or even the clear intention to break a rule.  They voted on the sheer possibility that Hype could have done something wrong in the distant future.
    • To provide further details on this point, I also find it interesting that even if Hype had ultimately leaked information, he wouldn’t have been breaking any defined rule.  I know that someone will reply to this and claim that “he should have assumed” that the admin site had information that shouldn’t be shared with the LMBW community.  I find this ridiculous.  If there is no rule written out, then there is no rule that has been broken.  It’s the reason why I requested there to be a link to the banned words on chat on the chat policy page.  It seems unfair to try a person for breaking a law they didn’t know existed, even more so in the case of Hype, who did nothing.
    • Another user claims that Hype indicated knowledge of the rules in the screenshotted conversation.  This is not the case.  Hype merely discusses the possibility of this occurring, and he acknowledges that the site “may be set up” differently, implying he will investigate the possibility of there being admin-site specific rules.
    • A few users have argued that Hype will require access to the admin site to adequately perform his duties.  For what?  Many of the votes apparently require admins to wait on admins that aren’t active on either site to log in and vote on decisions.  Hype is one of the most active members of the community, and is easily accessible through chat.  According to the admins I have discussed this with, the admin site is mostly inactive anyways.
    • And lastly, it’s interesting how people seem to be treating Hype as though he has acted immaturely within the last few weeks.  If he had criticized the administrators or whined like a child, I would agree that perhaps Hype’s qualifications should be reconsidered.  Instead, he has acted incredibly respectfully, politely protesting the decision of the admins.  Additionally, Hype could have perfectly well denied the claim that the screenshots in question were truly his words, instead claiming that the user in question was attempting to assault his character.  This was not the case, as Hype has been honest, open, and well-mannered throughout this entire unjust process.  He even politely avoided the delicate issue of demotion in his request for rights, a choice that I greatly respect.  In my opinion, a long-winded criticism of the admins’ decision would have been a perfectly understandable response, but Hype has chosen the “high ground,” so to speak.
  • Ultimately, I suspect that arguments have little to do with the demotion in question, but that’s beside the point.  I simply wished to debunk the claims made by members of the community. Apologies also for the terrible formatting. I'll be working on making this legible -Dr. Satl, M.D.
      • @third pargraph: Satl pls listen to yourself here. are you seriously suggesting that it's reasonable, understandable, or even regular for a potential/actual legitimate admin to be unaware that admin site content is secret? the notion is utterly ridiculous. and let's not kid ourselves here. he did and does know. there is no doubt about it. there is no justification for the comments he's made surrounding this. ~ eoe
        • I am listening to myself, I fear that you ignored my other points so you could reiterate the same thing again. The argument I made is that even if he did know (this can only be confirmed or denied by Hype himself), the fact of the matter is that there is no rule that specifies that the admin site content is meant to be secret. If there is not a clearly defined rule, than ignorance is technically a perfectly valid claim. In addition, you have not addressed the fundamental fact that Hype did nothing in the first place, thereby warranting no action to be taken on the part of the admins. Also, I must ask. To which "comments" are you referring? In my opinion, the screenshots provided do not indicate the clear intention to even perform any radical actions, and Hype's mannerisms surrounding this entire affair have been excessively mild. -Dr. Satl, M.D.
          • >the fact of the matter is that there is no rule that specifies that the admin site content is meant to be secret. actually: Secrecy links in question: [[1]] 2 3. and yes ignorance is technically a perfectly valid claim but i think we both know it's not a legitimate claim. sure only he can confirm whether or not he was lying but can you seriously genuinely say that him not knowing well-established and/or self-explanatory admin policy upon becoming admin is acceptable in any way? and if he was aware, which i'm almost completely certain of, then he was lying for unclear reasons. my point still stands. as for the "fundamental fact that Hype did nothing in the first place", he didn't, but there was reasonable doubt that he could have. as i said i don't hold much of an opinion about the original situation, but certainly my opinion about the current one is clear. the "comments" i refer to are the statements he made in pm with ale cited in ale's oppose. i'm not going to claim he's been hotheaded about this whole thing, i will agree he has been quiet about it, but that also troubles me. refusing to adequate voice his concerns (0 activity from him on this rfr since posting it) while nonetheless refusing to avoid pursuing the matter is not a good solution. ~ eoe
          • Side-note: To be clear, in the "timeline of events", I told Vera about the policies after he said those things in the screenshots, before I had knowledge of them, and before the PM I mentioned in my oppose reason. So it's like this: Vera said those things in the screenshots => Told about policies => Discovering of the screenshots => PM. Also, minor correction, I don't think I linked Vera the first admin policy, just the "proposed"/most recent one (but I think I did link the thread from which it comes from). The first admin policy's from, I don't know, 2012 perhaps, and shows how admin secrecy was a central part of the admin team since, well, forever. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 12:13, March 22, 2017 (UTC)
            • This response is directed to both of the above claims. And here we are left discussing the difference between technicality and legitimacy. As I said earlier, we can argue all day about whether Hype was aware of the situation or is feigning influence. It won't get us anywhere, so I have taken the stance of "innocence until proven guilty." If Hype was to leak information in the future, this action would have no defense and he would rightfully be demoted. Again, you claim that there is "reasonable doubt that he could have" done something wrong. He didn't. No crime or clear intent to commit a crime, no punishment. And although I respect your opinion, I think that Vera's choice to mostly engaging in the debates is a respectable decision. His opinion and stances are already clear, to further involve oneself in debate would only harm his reputation. Now, about the policies. I apologize. I did not know of the policy either, so I assumed there wasn't a clearly written one. Since the community knows little to nothing about the admin site, I am of the opinion that holding an admin to a standard of rules that he was not informed of yet and are not commonly known by the community is fundamentally unjust. Ultimately, I doubt I will convince any of you of my points, given the insist repetition of your opinions, claims I believe are fundamentally flawed. I never engaged in debate regarding a user's request for rights before, because I did not wish for the discussion to become heated. Seeing as we are left asserting the same statements, I feel as there is no further need to continue debating. Good day, I hope none of you think the worse of me. -Dr. Satl, M.D.
                • thank you for the respect, the same to you ~ eoe
  • Fort, there's a difference between automatically being under a general assumption that there was a policy, with (at the the time) no proof it existed and looking at the technicality versus lying through my teeth. I'd really appreciate it if you stopped calling me a liar because it isn't true. Thanks. ~Vera (Message me)
    • Thanks for posting this. Brick425 (talk) 20:52, March 22, 2017 (UTC)
    • so technically you didn't lie, just feigned technically reasonable ignorance? can everyone please stop pretending you weren't aware that this was established convention? please people. ~ eoe
    • "Can everyone please stop pretending you weren't aware that this was established convention?" This. It's getting extremely annoying and makes you look silly. ~Hipunokku
    • "I have no other argument but will keep reiterating the same false premise while using ad hominem as valid support." -Dr. Satl, M.D.
  • Ok, so I just discovered something. Vera voting on moving admin site stuff here. So he knew that the admin site was kept secret. Not only that, he even discussed things with Eagle, and if he read the whole quote chain (or indeed, the whole thread), he knew that admin site secrecy was an important deal for the admins. Despite all this, he assumed there was no admin policy on the matter? If he had to assume things, that vote should have made him assume that it did exist! Things are just not adding up here. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 09:51, March 23, 2017 (UTC)
    • Unless he didn't actually read the whole thread and was like: TL;DR. Derp - Marsh
      • But he did at the very least read Eagle's post, which was a reply to Keps's comment, which contained quotes from Eagle on why we keep the admin site secret. If he read the whole "quote chain" he would have understood that admin site secrecy has always been a big deal for the admin team. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 12:22, March 23, 2017 (UTC)
      • I'm not gonna lie I haven't read the thread or the "quote chain" but like I said, what if he didn't read the whole quote chain and only Eagle's post. He would've known it was secret but by what you're telling me he would not have known it was a big deal to KEEP it secret if that makes any sense to you. - Marshal6000 (talk)
      • What doesn't make sense is not reading it all, Eagle is clearly referencing Keps's post, and context would have been needed. I find it rather doubtful that he ignored all previous posts and chose to reply only to that comment by Eagle (especially how Keps's post is literally two places above Eagle's) and later on to Rio's. Derp And let's be clear here, the quote chain does mention how important it is to keep admin site information secret. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 13:25, March 23, 2017 (UTC)
      • Just giving Hype the benifit of the doubt that's all. Derp Marshal6000 (talk)
    • tfw you actually vote with people to properly end the usage of the admin site but then the same people get mad at you for wanting to prevent the ending of the site by unethical means ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ~Hipunokku
  • Wait, how is Dan not active but EED is...? 14:36, March 23, 2017 (UTC)
    • Because EED was on chat and made some edits last week and Dan hasn't. LegoWebby101
  • Can we please stop treating this like he seriously planned to leak content? Slice asked for the admins' opinion of him on the site. If you look at the screenshots, he's deflecting the question. "I'll see, depends on how it's set up." When Brave asks for information regarding Robo/Dumble, Hype doesn't even respond. He then iterates that even if he were to leak information, there's always the possibility that an admin would see it and he'd lose his job. He clearly values the job more than our requests. He does state that he wants transparency and will advocate for the release of all information on the admin site (which has been voted on before -- it's not a new, traitorous idea he came up with). We then talk about the contradictions between "nothing happens on the admin site" and the apparent need to give Hype access.


This continued belief that he actually intended on it is bullcrap and using that as a reason to oppose is ludicrous in the extreme. 19:43, March 23, 2017 (UTC)

Let me just get this clear: I do fit the requirements to run for admin. I have enough edits, I have enough chat mod experience. Nowhere in the rules does it say anything about needing current CM status to run. Under the current RFR policies, this request is completely valid.

With one, two, or maybe even three admins going inactive this year, it's time LMBW got another admin. I'm willing to be an admin that listens to the community and does what it wants. I have experience with thousands of edits, more than a year of CM and DM experience, and I've been on the wiki for 35 months. I feel that out of the most active users, I would connect to the community best through my various experiences while here.

Please vote, and add as much input as possible into your votes. Thank you. --Slicer Vorzakh (talk) 03:43, March 3, 2017 (UTC)

  1. I've supported your efforts in the past, but I think you've become a different person now. I'm seeing a lot of disdain for some people here, and apathy toward others. I commend looking out for the community first, but jumping right to admin isn't where to start for that. If I can see the old Slice who ran for admin months ago, with CM rights already acquired again, then I'd be inclined to support. I'll just go neutral. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån

  1. If you were currently a CM, I'd definitely consider it. However the fact that you got demoted in the first place shows that you may not be quite ready at the moment (not debating over the fairness of the demotion, I'm no expert regarding the situation). There's also the fact that I've been active in chat for the past few weeks and have barely seen you, although I don't really care about that since you've shown to be active in the past and I could see you being active as an Admin. If you made a CM RfR and succeeded, however, I'd definitely support. -Sam
  2. Absolutely not. Don't get me wrong, I like you man, but this seems like a really bad way to go about it, especially given what I know about how you feel regarding the wiki and certain users. Run for Chat Mod again and I'll support, and we can go from there. ~Mizutsune
  3. Followijg your demotion I don't see how you could handle admin. Trying to expose this loophole also doesn't sit right. Mc1
  4. just to start I'll submit the clearest reason to oppose this; this really shouldn't be valid. if there were a vote to adjust policy to require admins to currently hold cm/dm rights i'm confident it would pass with a fair majority. second clearest reason; upon inquiry about this rfr you said "idek how serious it is fort". beyond that, on the off-chance this is actually serious, basically per everyone else. far from someone i'd consider admin material. "Has more a sense of entitlement rather than of actually deserving the rights," "you've showed basically no admin qualities since then, just a load of... apathy, really," "but this seems like a really bad way to go about it, especially given what I know about how you feel regarding the wiki and certain users." further on the disgraceful subject of the idea that this is even a valid rfr it makes it even worse that part of your platform is closing loopholes exactly like this one, lol. definitely per ale on that. reeks of pretentiousness. A full oppose thanks ~ eoe
  5. Sorry, no. The sudden jump from no CM rights to admin is too much. First start off with getting CM and/or DM again, then we can start talking. Exposing a loophole doesn't work at all, and, quite frankly, shows signs of desperation, especially when you read the introduction. Has more a sense of entitlement rather than of actually deserving the rights. You said in chat "if I become admin I can help find loopholes in the rules and close them". Yeah, but you don't use loopholes to your own advantage and then close them. And let's not forget that you got demoted just over two months ago. Since then, you seem to have gone extremely quiet, and you've showed basically no admin qualities, just a load of... apathy, really. As I said already, try to go for CM first, in a few months, then DM, then admin. Patience is the name of the game here. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 09:51, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
  6. Let's be honest: this wiki is focused on the community side while content is a minor part, and you aren't Chat or Discussions Moderator anymore. For me, you should have one of these rights first before running for Admin again, so sorry, but it's oppose here. This is also the fifth RfA you do, and at this count of requests, I think you're just powerhungry here.

Hello everyone, I'm Veralann (previously known as HyperFlash Studios) though a lot of you know me quite well at this point. I'm running for administrator mainly because we only have three active at the time, and I'm on during most of the gaps that administrators aren't. Some of our current admins have also stated they might be leaving some time in the visible future, which means we would have even less active admins than we do now. I have a strong editing record, I've been a moderator for a while now, I have some technical knowlege that the admin team currently does not, and most importantly I'm active. I feel I can bring some needed variety to the wiki administration. I also feel I've matured since my last two attempts at running, but I'll let all of you be the judge of that.

Hello everyone! I'm HyperFlash Studios, and I've been an active user on this wiki for a decent amount of time now. I am running for administrator due to the current deficit of active admins, seeing as we have only two particularly active ones. Some od the things I can bring to the table are: coding, as I have a very large understanding of CSS and enough javascript to write some functions and maintain the current code on the wiki; editing, as I edit frequently and have over 10,000 total edits on the wiki, with nearly 2,500 mainspace edits; and activity, as I am on the wiki consistently for most of the day, every day, and can quickly respond to issues as they arise.

  13. While I think three active admins is plenty for the level of activity I have to support this rfr (like I did with slice's). To be perfectly honest I don't think "reliably predictable" is a valid criticism of someone because given it's been used twice it seems to be more for the idea of admins agreeing with each other more so than the idea of people who flip flop. I would agree though with Bubble's comments I just come to a different conclusion. When I was applying for moderator on a forum I was criticised for being very much against the decisions staff on the forum had made in the past. Thankfully though they gave me a chance and I loved every minute of being a mod and then admin there. I think honestly you have to give people like yourself or slice a chance to show what you can do in a position, it's only a website in the end of the day and the opportunity itself I found for me in my case made me work to improve on things people criticised me for. And in the end of the day admins need a mix of opinions they really do, if everyone agreed off the bat on everything without question sites like this stagnate quickly. I made this mistake on the forum I'm talking about and it's a bad idea, a very bad idea. Long story short I support. ~ Roddy

  6. Per EED. I agree with points made here, in supports, opposes, and comments. From what I've observed, I think Hyp is an excellent user who really adds a lot of good to this site. If I were to describe him in one word, it would easily be friendly. I remember pming him when he first joined chat. He was eager even then to contribute here. And I'm happy to say he has stayed one of the best newer users and has grown a good deal in many ways. I think he makes for a great chat mod, and discussion mod is a perfect fit for him. I find him to be one of the few and best at listening and understanding two sides of an argument, dealing with everyone fairly with unwavering politeness, and bringing people together in sticky discussions that could drive them apart. That said, I do find faults as well of course, and agree with many opinions voiced in the oppose and comments sections as well. To touch a little on one, because he relates to two sides of things, he is often swayed back and forth in opinion, and I feel many of his votes and things are more based on persuasion and not made from genuine, logical thoughts of his own. I do also feel this RFR is a bit too rushed. I'm glad to have Hyp on the mod team and as a discussion mod, they match him well. But I'm not ready to vote a support for admin. Not everyone is made for admin, and that's good. We need all types of people to best fill all the positions. -BusyCityGirl

  1. I have a problem trusting people who have an inability to admit when they are wrong about something. Or, when they admit to being wrong, they flip flop their position the next day. I won't deny there has been some improvement since the debacle that was the last admin rfr. But only in the past few weeks, and a few weeks is not enough time. If you had just waited for a decent amount of time, like you had been advised, I probably would have supported. While having another admin could be helpful, the need is not so great that we should vote someone in before they're ready. Handing someone power and responsibility before they're ready could go either way. It could turn out perfectly fine and the trend of improvement could continue, or by giving someone what they want before they're ready, we could have a huge mess ending with an uncooperative admin and a messy demotion petition. Not a risk I'm willing to take. The Bubble of Impossibility (wallcontribs) 17:48, November 28, 2016 (UTC)
  2. Got to agree with Bubbles here. I told him soon after his botched RfR that he should wait something like 6 months before the wounds of it would heal. He agreed to wait 3 months minimum. How many months has it been? Just 2. And he has deleted the apology blog for the RfR, for reasons unknown. To make matters worse, yesterday he set up another RfR, and after I reminded of what he had said 2 months ago, he withdrew the RfR. And... well, apparently "[he has been] told the need for admins is very great"... which truly isn't the case, we're doing just fine as we are right now... and somehow, he has gone on and put it up again. Which shows a complete lack of reliability, in my opinion, if he does things like these without telling anyone. For God's sake, when I set up that "Argument Clinic" without telling anyone, Lone became furious with me. I can't rely on an admin who does one thing and then immediately reverses it, or seems to agree with me only to do exactly the opposite of the agreement. Admins have to be reliably predictable. Hyper just isn't. And while coding knowledge is valuable, it's just not enough to be an admin. There's so much more to it. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 20:05, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

  • Hey everyone, spell it out with me. B-L-A-C-K-M-A-I-L. Hype has told me and others that Alemas and AP would've opposed an admin RfR unless he waited a few more months in putting one up. Why is that? Only because of an erstwhile assurance? Hype did indeed tell Alemas that he would wait, but that was voiced by a different Hype. Let's not forget this previous "botched" RfR was torpedoed mostly due to him putting up an ///interview/// without prior admin (AKA Alemas) approval. He's matured much more lately, and he's an extremely active and helpful member. I'm going to be honest here, as this is something I've observed a lot lately, and cannot remain silent about: Alemas has become very nearsighted lately and unfortunately there are others here that are under his spell. With Hype, Alemas is positing that admins must be "reliably predictable." "Reliably predictable" means that Alemas can have sizable control over his actions. He hates surprises and inconsistencies, so of course an admin candidate that he can't fully thumb over will earn his disapproval. Case in point, look at Slice. And for Bubble's point, it's also hinging on this RfR "advisement" that Alemas gave Hype a while back. There is very little leg to stand on here, and I will loudly voice my discontent with Alemas and his squadron, namely AP, opposing Hype because of it. We DO need more admins. Alemas doesn't want more because that disrupts his growing hegemony. That's all I have to say. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
    • To call anything related to our decision "blackmail" would be preposterous mudslinging. I will completely agree that Hype has exhibited admin-like qualities, we merely want to see him practice them long-term before supporting him for the position of administrator. I, for one, do not want to support someone unless that individual has been consistently mature over a long period of time, which Hype has not. What I meant by "I will support if you wait longer," is not that I don't want to lose political influence to other administrators, I merely wanted to make sure Hype's recent maturity wasn't some kind of phase, which is more than reasonable grounds for opposing an RfR. These accusations of Alemas and myself being corrupt and power-hungry are completely baseless, we merely have a considerable hesitation in supporting someone for administrator who has only recently made maturity improvements. Monocle Man (wallcontribs) 00:34, November 29, 2016 (UTC)
    • Ale quite literally blackmailed hype into trying to scare him into not running by holding a vague and in no way official statement to his throat. Of course it's invalid grounds for opposition. Apparently you love him except you'd want him to wait longer. If youd truly believe this, you'd at most neutral him. Not to mention my RFR, where you supported my third rfr, but in my fourth rfr, you suddenly decided my "improved" behavior needed to wait longer even though I hadn't changed at all. During my third rfr when you supported you were an independent mod, but when you opposed my fourth, you'd become a puppet with your own thought lost. -Slice
    • To my knowledge there was nothing even resembling "blackmail," merely Alemas reminding Hype that he had promised to wait three months instead of two. This is not "blackmail," as Alemas did not "threaten" him in any way, just held him up to a statement of his. Obviously Hype is allowed to break that statement if he wishes, all Alemas did was remind him of it (as far as I know, anyway). I will once again echo what Bubbles said: I find it unwise to risk allowing an administrator RfR to pass if I am not sure of the user in question's ability to make good decisions and maintain a professional attitude. As for your RfR, I had a better perspective this time than I did with the third on your modding tendencies, and have somewhat higher standards for whom I am willing to support. These ludicrous ad hominem remarks of corruption and me being a puppet are completely baseless and convey to me a disturbingly narrow-minded outlook on the situation. Monocle Man (wallcontribs) 01:09, November 29, 2016 (UTC)
    • Agreed with Pythor here. I don't understand how reminding someone of an agreement can be considered as "blackmail" at all. I was merely pointing out that he had agreed to wait a minimum of 3 months. Hyper didn't say anything against me reminding him, he seemed fine with it. He didn't counter me or anything, so I assumed he was at least in begrudging agreement with me. He even admitted that he'd "messed up" the timing. I had no idea it would lead to accusations of blackmail. Honestly, it just seems to me that all this has been blown way out of proportion. Rio... Why didn't you talk to me before? Couldn't you wait until we could talk to discuss these matters? I don't get how you've suddenly turned against me like this, it's something that's not needed in an admin team environment. We can't turn against admins like this. By being "reliably predictable" I meant that admins should not turn their backs to an agreement without first discussing things, and that they actually do what they said they would do. Actually, I do love surprises, but not with the admin team. Why? Because admins are supposed to be professional, even towards each other. Turning one's back to an agreement without talking to the interested party isn't professional at all, pure and simple. And I'll say that I'm not bothered with having multiple other admins in charge. We're doing just fine with me, you, and Pythor who are decently active. Of course, if any one of us becomes inactive, then we'll have to think of replacements.

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)

  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 (wallcontribs) 22:06, November 23, 2016 (UTC) Now unsure

  21. I'm supporting because I think you could very well be a good admin, and if you aren't than the community will be able to vote you out. It's as simple as that. We're allowed to try new stuff out. I definitely do agree with Guac's reason for opposing though, it's crucial for an admin to be able to see it from the other person's angle even if they don't agree, even if they're polar opposites. It's about understanding opinions. But that hasn't stopped anyone else from being admin yet and I'd like to see what you can offer 𝕃𝕆ℕ𝔼𝕐 𝕄𝕔𝕃𝕆ℕ𝔼𝔽𝔸ℂ𝔼

  4. Per Bubbles, and also the people over at Oppose. Still, improvement has been made generally speaking, so not moving to oppose, just don't think Support is still the right choice. -Sir Guurahk
  5. You have improved in my experience. However, especially as many users I greatly respect have voted oppose, I still do not feel quite comfortable supporting. I shall therefore remain solidly neutral this time around. » Grandpa Weirdo™ » (wall) » 19:49, November 30, 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)
    • 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
  3. 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 (wallcontribs) 17:08, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
  4. Still a, no-where near convinced on him. Personalky I must agree on Alemas. Also hopefully the mantra of quality over quantity prevails-MC1
  5. Honestly, I wish I could support Slice for admin. He'd be perfectly competent. However, in the time in between each RFR he has always demonstrated the same condescending attitude that I so despise seeing. As such, I remain opposed. Points for actually writing the RFR though. -/\/\Y (talk)

    • that's brutal. I like it Avatar2260 1 Dubba Booey (talk) 18:21, November 27, 2016 (UTC)
  7. Per the above. -Sam
  8. while as a rule, i'd disagree with some opposes saying that an overamplified zeal to argue and defend one's positions is necessarily a bad thing, in the case of slice upholding this view is... difficult. seeing as wiki politics are reasonably inconsequential i'd not consider disagreeing with someone views a valid reason to oppose, my fundamental problem here is rather how those views are defended. from my experience, slice is a very difficult person to debate/negotiate with, with frequent ad hominem, condescending rhetoric and dismissal of absolutely valid points over irrelevant circumstances. in my eyes, it is crucial for admins to uphold a professional attitude towards discussions, and i do not feel confident that slice is going to do that if he gets voted in. guac
  9. ugh, I just feel I need to vote the way i need to vote. I think slice is overall a fun guy and a good mod, but I don't see him as an administrator. Per all of the above. Though we could use a new admin, I don't think Slice is ready. Romaniandude12 (talk) 21:51, November 27, 2016 (UTC)
  10. Strongly Oppose. He has consistently gone against a spirit of teamwork with the other chatmods, moreso than normal and in at least one case in defense of a rule violation - on top of the often rude behavior and negative comments about the admins. In addition, I find his consistent association and interactions with Nigma on other sites deeply, deeply disturbing and said posts elsewhere include unbefitting brash, angry, and vulgar language which causes me concern for the potential continued tarnishing of this site's image. All around not ready for adminship. - EED

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)
    • To be honest, Hyp, I don't know how you can say that. You ask where I see problems, and I ask where do you not? I most certainly do not see a steller use of common sense, and even if I did, that in no way outweighs the rest. Besides, it takes way more than that. I could list a number of users with great common sense, and I wouldn't vote them for admin either. As for more respectful than the majority of people? How?? I mean seriously. Even his own userpage discribes him as being the rude one who is always right. If that's more respectful than most of the community, then I'm glad to know the minority that treat others the way they want to be treated themselves. How are we even voting for someone who got a warning from the admins as recently as a month ago? I don't want to vote for someone who's only questionably "improved recently" either. It must be a long time period of character change proof for me. ...I feel like I could find all the links I want that show my concerns. You don't have to search far. Also for arguing, sure, other mods and admins differ in opinions frequently. That's a good thing! It's way different than arguing. Even arguing is't so terrible. It's more how it's done. I find Slice impossible to deal with in this area. Definitely not a team player, not a good leader, and not qualified for admin in my opinion. -BusyCityGirl
  • 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 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 Dubba Booey (talk) 01:38, November 26, 2016 (UTC)
    • So personal preference is a reason when you oppose Slice but isn't a reason when Slice opposes you? Brick425 (talk) 19:08, November 26, 2016 (UTC)
      • ...what do you mean? I don't get what you're saying. EDIT: Oh wait, now I get it. No, he cited "personal preference" as the reason for not listing reasons for why he disliked me. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 19:11, November 26, 2016 (UTC
  • Slice, I love you man, but if this is really your 5th or even your 6th unsuccessful attempt (and it is), then I think it's time to call it quits. Justice rains from abo-augh!!

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)

  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

  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. QuantumHedgehog

  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 (wallcontribs) 02:11, September 10, 2016 (UTC)

  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.

  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.

  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)

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 Derp

  • 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

Greetings, my name is Slicer and I am an experienced CM, DM and Content Moderator. I have considered running for administrator for some time, though never got around to it until now. With the recent abrupt departure of Avalair from the team, there is now no consistently active administrator, which is essential for keeping stability on chat. With near perfect approval ratings on Ale's Blog and over a year of modding experience under my belt, I consider myself competent enough to fill in this position (especially considering I have the majority of admin rights at this point anyways). Thanks for your consideration. Slicer Vorzakh (talk) 21:55, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Support

  1. Strong advocate of the common sense rule, overall chill, and strong sense of justice. - bnr
  2. I think Slice would make a very good Admin. And per BNR. Not a lot of people use that common sense thing anymore. - Marshal6000
  3. After some contemplation (probably an unnecessarily long amount) I have decided to hesitantly support Slice. Although he could certainly make improvements on his judgement and whatnot, at the end of the day he is very competent, and would be helpful considering he's three hours behind me and would be active on chat later in the night. ~ Monocle Man
  4. Per AP. ~kEd
  5. Per above The Bubble of Impossibility (wallcontribs) 01:22, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
  6. While he doesn't approach his job as seriously as I'm sure a lot of people would like, I think Slice has a lot of good ideas and his un-professional tactics come mainly from a frustration that no one listens to them. A position as admin would give him an appropriate weight in the community and I think we can trust him given his levelheaded work as a CM here 𝕃𝕆ℕ𝔼𝕐 𝕄𝕔𝕃𝕆ℕ𝔼𝔽𝔸ℂ𝔼
  7. I support primarily because you copypasted an RfR intro. And then on the side, Slice is an extremely effective moderator who gets things done. While this may involve stepping on toes at times, I don't think he's intending such at all, and I've seen vast improvements in his interactions with others he disagrees with. He'd be a dynamic, fresh impact on the admin team. †hę Djøkøvïϛ Fån
  8. After reviewing Slice's recent behavior, as well as recognizing that the "copied" RfR paragraph likely was meant more in humor, I have decided to support Slice, mainly because some of our admins have become less active and it likely wouldn't hurt to have another on the team. ~Hype (Message me) 04:44, August 27, 2016 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. i'd be lying very much if i said that i haven't seen significant displays of competence from you (specifically as a cm) in the past, which is probably the best argument to support that there is. sitting in neutral for now because i thought your handling of the cm revote situation was questionable, i guess? and that's not because we personally disagreed on the matter, because that should have no impact on whether you will be an effective admin or not, but it's more about vote timing and communication with the admins and community members that were actively involved that threw me off a bit. i'll probably switch to support later, we'll see about that
    • edit: yeah, i didn't even pick up the copy/pasted request lol. that shall complicate things. guac
  2. You're a good mod, and I haven't personally seen the incidents mentioned by the opposing, But, even without the specific issues they bring up, I do not feel comfortable supporting you yet. So I am following my gut and voting neutral. » Grandpa Weirdo™ » (wall) » 04:27, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  3. Leaning towards support but need time to think and probably want to speak to you first as well. Colonel Roy Mustang (talk) 06:01, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  4. I'm not sure again... I'll try to switch as soon as possible. However, why copy-pasting AP's introduction Unclets Yada Dark http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/picsou/fr/images/d/db/Emoticon_Picsou.gif 07:46, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  5. The opposes stopped me from supporting like I was planning to, but I feel like you'd still do an excellent job and won't oppose. Good luck, man. Quality Editor StarMessage Wall!My Blog! • I have Special:Editcount/Starrocks923 edits!
  6. The copypaste job is really not helping me lean toward support. Haven't talked to you enough though to full out oppose though. - Roddy
  7. Like everyone else said, one of your problems is your copy and paste job. But I'm neutral in this decision since I don't know much about you (and I don't observe you at all). - Rebooted.
  8. I probably would of supported you if you didn't copy and paste AP's intro. So for that reason I'm neutral. LegoWebby101

Oppose

  1. I supported you up until you said that you were literally only running to oppose Ale's decisions; he's an admin that I actually like and I don't find this conduct at all appropriate for an admin (or honestly, a CM). -- Herr keplers (talk)
  2. Basically copy-pasting another candidate's RfR introduction shows extreme unprofessionalism and laziness (as with his last RfR intro, mind you) which is not appropriate for an admin. Plus, he still has issues with dealing with decisions gone against his way. As I said in AP's RfR, "Maturity, niceness, activeness". He certainly has activeness. Maturity, with a copy-pasted RfR? Niceness, with several instances of rudeness against other CMs and admins? Nope, still a long way to go. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 22:08, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
  3. Per the above. Brick425 (talk) 02:35, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  4. Per Ale all the way, tbh I don't even class him as a good mod. Has a very long way to go. Should take a leaf out of Ape'book with regards to people skills. -Mc
  5. I was thinking about supporting, but the fact that you copied another user's intro shows a huge lack of maturity and desire to be Admin. Because of this, I have to oppose. -Sam
  6. To be honest I haven't been here for a while, but judging from what I have seen per Ale all the way ~maj
  7. Per Ale and all the above. (again) :P -Sir Guurahk
  8. Per everybody else. I don't see enough maturity for admin rights. ~a wild rom

Comments

  • i believe keps' statement needs clarification for those who weren't present? guac
    • He said that if he was admin he would oppose Ale, in the context of "what do you even want from this?" -- Herr keplers (talk)
