March 2008 Round

A new round of Bureaucrat Promotions is due. Boxy's Bureaucrat position is up for election.

Please vote for a single candidate.

Eligible Candidates

A Helpful Little Gnome

  1. A great guy, and really helpful. --Hhal 16:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. A good dude, though the choice is really hard. --BoboTalkClown 16:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Boxy

  1. -- four more years!--'BPTmz 06:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. Wow, such choices. Boxy seems keen on reform rather than retribution, and would rather defuse than light the fuse. I can't say the same of any other candidate, and especially not of hagnat, who seems to delight in playing the bad boy close to the edge. I don't want to live under a chaotic 'crat. Of the rest, they're either boundlessly aggressive (Karek, Grim s), too easily swayed (Gnome), too underhand (Conndraka), too inexperienced (Krazy Monkey, Swiers) or under my radar (Nubis, Mobius). If another position ever comes up, the only other viable sysop would be Zombie slay3r. --Funt Solo QT Scotland flag.JPG 09:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

  3. - Boxy does a good job, and I can't see any of the other sysops desparately racing for it.--SeventythreeTalk 10:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  4. --~~~~ [talk] 11:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  5. Not broken, don't fix. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  6. He's good at vandal banning. He isn't trigger-happy, he's polite, and he shows his reasoning. --Toejam 13:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  7. Conndrakamod TDHPD CFT 17:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  8. No reason to replace him. --Banana reads Scoundrell for all of Yesterday's News, Today! 17:54, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  9. as much as i appreciate the contributions of the other candidates, specifically AHLG and karek, i do not think we need to replace boxy. --Scotw 18:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  10. I don't see why not. --Heretic144 22:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  11. Because. -- BKM 22:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  12. I concur for the most part with Funt Solo. Except that I feel Sweirs is certainly capable, though I don't think he is interested. I have no hesitation supporting boxy. --WanYao 00:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
    Specifically... I'm just going to air this... I'd vote for hagnat, but I've followed how he's handled the "SA invasion" on the wiki, and I'm not at all impressed. He went from a peurile flame war with them (including the earliy DARIS vs. D.A.R.I.S. stuff), to a bizarre kind obsequiousness. It's that, combined with the fact that I think boxy does a stand-up job (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) that I vote this way. WanYao 15:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
    Moved to discussion page -- boxy talki 09:17 12 March 2008 (BST)
  13. He does a great job. --ZsL 19:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  14. no need to fix what isn't broken--CorndogheroT-S-Z 01:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  15. --LH779 03:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  16. While I kind of agree with karek below, I also agree with Funt Solo above. I just don't think any of the other candidates are good enough to replace boxy. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 13:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  17. If it ain't broke and all that. Also mostly as Funt. (Can I just get a macro that types 'As Funt'? It would save me a lot of time) - Headshot Hal Talk 18:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  18. Jonny12 talk 22:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  19. Boxy FTW! -- John RubinT! ZG FER 22:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  20. --The Envoy 01:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  21. --Asdfgjkl 05:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  22. --Darth Sensitive Talk W! 06:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  23. Throwing my hat on the gravy train. Horribly mixed metaphors for Boxy '08! --Boris 17:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  24. - funny and fair.----SexualharrisonStarofdavid2.png Boobs.gif 18:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
    --/~Rakuen~\Talk Domo.gif I Still Love Grim 18:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Invalid double vote struck. --Funt Solo QT Scotland flag.JPG 22:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  25. Signed. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 07:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
    The guy is doing a good job, we shouldn't be forced to choose less qualified sysops for the task. --Starplatinum 02:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC) Voting closed -- boxy talki 14:57 31 March 2008 (BST)

Grim s

  1. Why vote for those with already huge support? How will my vote matter then? Guy's also pretty responsible, too. And also. Jordan Salafack 10:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Hagnat

  1. --Cyberbob DORIS CGR U! 05:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. --Sonny Corleone RRF DORIS MSD MOB pr0n 06:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  3. Has been more willing to compromise and work with people without resorting (much) to the hurrtardedness that has been plaguing this wiki. I've watched the downward spiral of others, and Hagnat seems to be on the rise.--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 18:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  4. Boxy's been a Bureaucrat for far too long, we not to mention there's no balance in the Bureaucrat team, they share most of the same opinions on everything, Boxy's opinion. It's two people for a reason and it's put up for reelection for a reason, it's kinda disturbing that there isn't a policy as of current to actively exclude a crat for going for his own seat anyway, especially when they've gone as long as Boxy has without a reelection vote.--Karekmaps?! 19:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  5. Gooooo, hagnuts.--Thari TжFedCom is BFI! 20:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  6. He is the man. Go Hagnat!--Thekooks 20:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  7. I agree with Karek. A change would be good. No offense to Boxy as he does a great job but we need to give someone else a go at the helm for a while. -- Cheese 20:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  8. go hagnat! also, what Karek said. --Ropponmatsu 21:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  9. I've found hagnat to be amongst the most approachable and helpful people on the wiki when I've been looking for advice. - Bisfan 21:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  10. Give someone else a chance?-- dǝǝɥs ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 23:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  11. I feel ashamed to vote for a mudkip, but Karek made a good point. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  12. I want a new despot! --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 06:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  13. Well, I really didn't like some of the things Hagnat has done recently. Since my vote may very well matter, however, I trust him most.--ShadowScope 14:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  14. --Kikashie ELT 20:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
    You know what few items I want...Cookies, gold, diamonds, mony trees, and a nice shiny medal. Oh yeah...And the key to Fort Knox. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Due to a slight change in mind, I have decided to abstain from voting for any of the candidates. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  15. Thought long and hard on this one and although I think Boxy has been doing a good job I think perhaps its time to give him a rest and see how a change in the team dynamics work. No one else here stands out as much as Hagnat and his recent actions show a willingness to shake things up rather than abide by the status quo.... All that said and done, I do think we need 3 Crats and would happily vote Boxy to fill that third position. --Honestmistake 14:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  16. I vote Hagnat, because hes the most awesome person and deserves this Hondater 02:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Karek

  1. got my vote. --Bullgod 09:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. Levelheaded enough to do a good job, and enough of an asshole to do what needs to be done.  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  16:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
    As Billy, plus we need someone who isn't such a biased pro-survivor...--/~Rakuen~\Talk Domo.gif I Still Love Grim 18:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Invalid double vote struck. --Funt Solo QT Scotland flag.JPG 22:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  3. As Billy, plus we need someone who isn't such a biased pro-survivor... happy Funt? I only voted once :P --/~Rakuen~\Talk Domo.gif I Still Love Grim 18:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Krazy Monkey

  1. He was very helpful so my vote goes to him.--MisterGame 14:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. He was very polite towards me when I first joined, and wanted to help as much as possible.DS TlkDevW!+1 11:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  3. So hard to choose between these candidates, but I like Krazy Monkey's work. --PdeqTalk* 20:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Mobius187

  1. Helpful guy, Constantly helping on this wiki, and all around good person. Would lead well.--MikhailA 21:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. Much better than some asshats and might take a hardline view of the idiots from SA. Add that to the Necrotech work and he has my vote.--MTerminalFailure 10:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Nubis

Withdrawn Candidates

Zombie slay3r

I'm currently not interested in becoming a bureaucrat. However, I encourage those who wanted to vote for me to consider voting for boxy. --ZsL 19:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Conndraka

I barely have time to think much less be really active on the Wiki (except the pages I have on watch) besides...I'm too underhanded ;) Conndrakamod TDHPD CFT 21:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Swiers

Glad nobody voted for me, because I'm not looking to do the job. Just look at my (lack of) involvement in arbitration and vandal banning as a sysop. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 06:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Ineligible Sysops

Result

Boxy retains the position, and has to rule on his own bid (damn you Vantar ;)) -- boxy talki 14:57 31 March 2008 (BST)
