| He has more than enough contributions, although the history purge screws with the contributor history. He has been here more than a year now, has taken an active interest in the maintenance duties and policy discussions on this wiki and, while we don't always agree is the kind of user I think should be promoted. He has proven he is able to do the job and more than qualifies. So, assuming he accepts, I think it's about time we gave him a bid.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 01:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

| :Very intresting to see the amount of suport (and opposition I have had here) and can only appologize that i am on a restricted interwebz diet at due to someone else breaking my home connection. I am flattered by the nomination but don't think I have the skills needed to actually do the real work required for the job. Also, unlike Suicideangel, I do still sometimes edit the wiki drunk which goes a long way to explaining why I sometimes go off on tangents. That said, I would like to see this bid go through to the finish but feel it only fair to point out that if promoted I want absolutly nothing to do with any aspect of the job which involves wiki skills, though i will do my best to learn some. If promoted I will take a very wide step away from A/VB and avoid it where doing so will not cause harm... too many asshats who annoy me seem to think it is their personal playground and my getting involved as a sysop would only cause even more drama. Why might i make a good sysop? Well; I do not argue from malice and always with a point. I do not expect to win all (or given this is the internet, any) of those arguments and indeed often become embroiled in them only to make the otherside think. I am always willing to hold my hands up to my own mistakes and would point out that in my 3+ years here I have hardly ever gone a week without editing something and have only once been brought up on vandal charges and that was for a pretty stupid and petty thing. I am an inclusionist and proud of it and feel that a sysops role should be not just enforcing rules but knowing when doing so is counter productive. Finally; The Sysops job description includes the phrase "Trusted User" and you can trust me to always listen to both sides of an argument and to always strive to help any users in any way I can (even if its just pointing you at someone who knows what they are doing!) You can trust me not to try any fancy re-organization and not to try to overthrow the wiki... what you can't trust me with is any actual work!--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

| ::I literally threw up. You've never been able to resist a good bitch in your entire time on the wiki; why the fuck should anyone believe you'd start now? OMG GUIS I'D ROOLY TROOLY CHAENG SRSLY?

| |
| :::::DO HO HO. You always were a witty little cunt. What a shame you don't put as much effort into logical thinking (srsly guise - as long as mai harts in teh rite plaec it dun matter wether im rite dus it?) as you do coming up with those shitty jokes. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 10:56, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
| |
| ::Also, basically what you're saying here is that promoting you would be completely pointless as you wouldn't do a single fucking thing beyond 'keepan ur hart in teh rite plaece and bein srsly srs aboot discushun'. Lol. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 11:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

| *'''Against''' - We do not need yet another rules-whoring crybaby on the sysop team. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 01:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Strongly Against''' This user has shown time and time again that he fails to comprehend basic concepts. His arguments are emotional, weak (at best), nonsensical and off topic. I seriously wonder if someone hacked Karek's account to make him do this. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 02:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| *:The "You Ass" section on Karek's Talk page is more than enough to show what I am talking about. The section where Karek says about HM:''Iscariot and you both has a long history of disliking the sysops and raging against the machine for the sake of it, I deal with Iscariot off of the wiki and know he acts very differently here and I know you can be reasonable but often enough fall into the category of opposing the sysops for the sake of it that I often find myself having to take your comments on something with a grain of salt. '' RAGING VOUCH there Karek! --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 02:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| *::He may be one to argue but he is also willing to admit when he is wrong about something if discussion is actually attempted. He only argues because he actually cares about how the rules are enforced, not like some others who do it simply to cause drama. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 04:41, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| *:::Karek, he may admit to being wrong ''when you finally get it through his head'' that he doesn't understand what he is talking about. Look at his comments in the section I mentioned and his comments on the J3D A/M case are frighteningly dense. I don't want another sysop that we will have to babysit or clean up after. He also "splits hairs" on policies by commenting on the wording. He thought the phrase "No Confidence Vote" was too harsh. WTF?
| |
| *:::You know, Karek, it really looks like you are trying to get someone in "the new crowd" promoted so that you don't seem like part of the "elite clique" and so that you can answer Iscariot's cries of ''you are out of touch with the community''. Why are you putting him up now? What has HM done in the last 2 months that all of the sudden made you decide ''Damn! this is the fresh blood we need''?--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 13:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

| *::::It's not a sudden decision. I've been considering this for a long while and it's just now that I happened to get around to it(I don't like multiple bids up at once). --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 00:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

| *:::::Nubis.... "thank you for your contribution" pretty much sums up my opinion on you and your "vote". {{unsigned|Honestmistake|}}

| |
| *'''Abstain''' - ''Pros:'' Honestmistake is a solid user and with a long history of interest and contributions. Usually listens to reason and almost always avoids drama. ''Cons:'' Sometimes comes up with really weird, illogical positions on what seem to be pretty straightforward issues. ''Concusion:'' More time and more active participation in Admin stuff, then he might be an excellent candidate. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 03:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

| |
| *'''Abstain''' - I haven't seen him much outside several petty squabbles with other users. If/When he accepts his nomination, it would be useful if he would provide some examples of why he should be a sysop. Until then, I will abstain. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

| *'''Against''' - Only because I haven't seen him do anything particularly special that makes him seem responsible enough for this. Given, I haven't seen him do anything wrong but I don't believe abstaining should justify that. {{User:Liberty/Sign}} 03:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
