Hey, it's me again. One of the main concerns last time i applied was my vandalism, while i can't go back and have it not happen, i haven't had any vandalism warnings etc since my promotion bid in july and, due to my invovlement in the wiki all existing bannings have been struck. I basically want to be a sysop as it would allow me to better perform various roles around the wiki and i feel i'd provide a different perspective than the existing team. Theres no need to be concerned about me being another inactive sysop, i've been around for 18 months plus and i've got no plans to leave anytime soon. Ummm if you want to know anymore i suggest you read over my old bid, i went into a few lengthly speels there. If you have any questions feel free to ask, etc etc.-xoxo 05:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Vouch - he's a good'n.--Nallan (Talk) 05:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Vouch - The way I see it is, Jed wants to be a sysop. He will work tirelessly and fairly because he wants this job so badly. This is what we need on this wiki. We need sysops who want to do the jobs they are asked to do. Today, we have sysops who decide they are going to become inactive in times of controversy, perhaps a time when they are most needed. They don't rule on A/VB or A/M and they don't have a say in pressing or important deletions cases because giving their opinion may make them look bad, or might lose them "respect". We need more sysops who are willing to do the work that may lose them friends, but is ultimately right for the wiki. Jed is the right man for this job, and always has been.--CyberRead240 05:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Abstain - He seems like a decent fellow, but unfortunately, I just don't know enough about him to make a valid judgment. Linkthewindow ^Talk 08:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Questions what sysop only tasks do you want to focus on and what parts of the wiki are you most active in at the moment?--Honestmistake 08:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

  I'm more or less active across the wiki, there's not a whole lot i don't stick my head in and check out every now and then. I used to have nothing to do with suggestions but i'm a regular on Developing Suggestions and a vote whenever i see suggestions nowadays. In regards to sysop powers , protecting and unprotecting will be a big one, many archival tasks need that and it's always annoying when you go to do something and see you can't, a/vb obviously as i've always been involved with a/vb in one way or another as well as akule's new unbanning of permabanned users discussion and of course deletions stuffs. Yeah that pretty much covers it.--xoxo 08:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Question: I want to know what has changed about your attitude and responsibility to the wiki and its community since your first promotion bid. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

  My attitude and responsibility to the wiki are much the same as they were last time, my views on sysopshipness have changed slightly, which i guess comes from the changing of the guard. If you mean regarding vandalism, then i'm fairly sure my clean sheet since july says everything i need to.--xoxo 11:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Vouch - he cares for this place. This is more than enough for me. I dont like what he did to ALiM, but that doesnt change the fact that i think he would do a good job being a psyop --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 10:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Vouch Because I like it when a sysop pays enough attention to make edits like this. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:43, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

  Haha glad you 'preciate it. It was really annoying me so i had to get it :P --xoxo 10:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Honestly, some of his behaviour in the past has been a bit iffy. But we all have done stuff like it, so its not that big of a deal.I'm willing to put my opinion behind him, but on one condition. Should the community decide that he's no longer fit, he will agree to put him self up for a review of some sort.We don't need another sysops that no one trusts being around, and then we can't get rid of him. So, a compromise. Seems fair enough to me, as we don't have an official channel for review yet.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 11:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

  fyi i do plan to put up a voting to axe sysops policy in the near future. I do have doubts it'll pass though, we shall see.--xoxo 11:20, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Vouch - From what I've seen from many of his edits, he sounds like a decent person. Plus, I've never had any personal problems with him, so why not? If he wants the SysOp position this badly, then let him have it. If he performs poorly, yank him. But if he performs above and beyond the calls of a normal SysOp, then it's a win for the Wiki community.-- Ωmega360 ^T 13:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
