Plus I'm sure there's other reasons... need more people around with banhammers.--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 00:58, 10 August 2012 (BST)
:Just to make it official, I accept the nomination. Hopefully most of you are familiar with [[User:Aichon|me]] by now. I served a term as [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Aichon|sysop in 2010]], then [[UDWiki:Administration/Demotions/Archive#Aichon|stepped down at the end of my term]]. I took off for most of 2011 since real life kept me busy, but real life eased up a few months back once I finished with grad school, so I returned to the game and the wiki and have slowly been [[Special:Contributions/Aichon|returning to activity]]. If anyone has any questions for me, you all know the routine. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:14, 10 August 2012 (BST)

*:Aww, sorry, didn't mean to steal your thunder with that comment on your talk page. I figured you'd just ask something different than one of your usual questions. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:08, 10 August 2012 (BST)
*::In that case, '''Question''' Tell us about your ingame experiences. --[[User:Rosslessness|Ross]]<sup>[[User:Rosslessness/Persons Of Note|'''WHO????''']]</sup>[[User:Rosslessness|ness]]  16:52, 10 August 2012 (BST)
*:::That's not really a question...but to respond anyway, I'm currently active in-game with [[User:Aichon/Characters/Orison_Flynt|a survivor]] in the [[Soldiers of Crossman]], [[User:Aichon/Characters/Jamie_Flynt|a zombie]] in the [[Militant Order of Barhah|MOB]], and [[User:Aichon/Characters/Doug_Collins|a PKer]] in the [[Philosophe Knights]]. Overall, I'd say my experiences have been very positive, and I try to enjoy all aspects of the game to the greatest extent possible, which is why my characters are so different from one another. I'm also pretty much the same in-game as I am on the wiki: even when I'm shooting/eating/combat reviving you, I still try to be polite about it. Since I started playing in 2009, I've been involved with or present for a few notable events. I was with the SoC at [[Blackmore 4(04)]], helping out with real-time barricading and alerts via [[404: Barhah not found|404]]'s IRC channel (talk about a draining experience, but, boy, was it fun). I was representing the PKer community at [[ESCAPE]] by making 5 kills in a single attack a few days before the event's high point (the clearest indication of zerging countermeasures I have personally ever seen, I'll add), then I showed up a few days later with my MOBster to help seal the deal (alas, the honor of forming the successful beachhead went to a different strike team). My [[User:Aichon/Characters/Emma_Flynt|currently-inactive character]] is more or less my spare character. I play it as a Dual Nature when it's active, unless I have something specific for which I need an otherwise unaffiliated character (such as [[Big Bash 3|BB3]], which it joined). I've also participated in a few side events, such as [[Malton_Manhunt/Axe_Hack's_Manhunt_3|AHMH3]], a little [[Philosophe_Knights/Theater|bit of theater]], and a few other things I can't discuss (but which were really cool). I've also been involved with leadership at a variety of levels in all of those groups (and even [[NecroTechnicolor|one that I'm not even a member of]] O_o). {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 18:22, 10 August 2012 (BST)
*'''Super Absolute Vouch''' - I'm not shy in my fanboying of Aichon. I've seen a fair few sysop types around and I've assessed them throughout their term with a very fine comb and Aichon is without doubt the best operator I've had the pleasure of witnessing and working with, and very close to winning the (admittedly stupidly theoretical) title of ''perfect sysop''. Current activity isn't an issue, which is a rare judgement with me. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:41, 10 August 2012 (BST)
*:The check is in the mail. Thanks. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:08, 10 August 2012 (BST)

*:D'aww. Thanks. But, just so you know, the "glory days" are merely a myth that people perpetuate for reasons I don't fully understand. I definitely was more active the first time around, since I had quite a bit of free time and was exploring something that was brand new to me (the game and the wiki). This time around, I'm still plenty active, but not as much as before, and I'm not quite so wet behind the ears. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:50, 13 August 2012 (BST)

*'''Against''' - Since [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Karek_(2)|this]] bid there has been a trend toward clearly unconfusing and less confusing election bids I find purely distasteful. Particularly in regards to the bold words at the beginning being by and far too clear and succinct. Also cause everyone deserves at least one vowel initiated word on their promotion bid, or even some Centaurs. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 05:01, 23 August 2012 (BST)
*:You'll note, good sir, that yours is actually the fourth vowel-initiated comment on this bid. Moreover, Revenant's comment above demonstrates his worldliness since it is clearly a quote from one of the well-regarded centaurs of New Zealand (as opposed to their lesser-known tramp cousins), who, as we are all aware, are quite capable of speaking in sheepish (little known fact: all native-born kiwis can do so, but they don't like talking about it for obvious reasons). As for confusing and succinct, I submit Misanthropy's comment for the former and Seagull's for the latter as counterexamples to your erroneous claims of clarity and brevity. In addition, you, sir, have made my day. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:22, 23 August 2012 (BST)

:I believe the proper response is "thanks", but considering it's for an unpaid janitorial position, I'm not sure if saying that actually makes sense. ;) {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 15:32, 24 August 2012 (BST)

This page is for users to request System Operator status. The act of user promotion is restricted to those with bureaucrat status, and as such users will need to request user promotion here. System Operators and Bureaucrats cannot assign promotions unless the request has gone through this page.

Guidelines for System Operator Requests

Users who wish to request System Operator status (and users who wish to nominate other users for System Operator status) should note that before they can be considered the following guidelines should be met by the candidate:

  • Significant time within the community.
We define this as at least 6 months since the candidate's first edit.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Significant activity within the community.
We define this as at least 250 edits in the past six months under the candidate's name.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Prior interest in maintaining the community.
We define this as clear evidence that the candidate is already performing maintenance tasks and taking leadership roles on the wiki.
  • Desire to become a System Operator.
We define this simply as indicating in the candidate's request their desire for the position (Note that if a person is nominated by another user, the candidate in question should note their acceptance of the nomination).

If a user is highly exemplary in one criterion, a certain amount of leeway may be given with the other criteria.

Once the candidate satisfies these guidelines, the user is then subject to a community discussion. All users are asked to comment on the candidate in question, ask questions of the candidate, and discuss the candidate's suitability for becoming a System Operator. This is not a vote. It is instead merely a request for comments from the wiki community. This will continue for two weeks to allow all users an opportunity to voice their opinion regarding a candidate's qualifications for promotion. After two weeks, the Bureaucrats are responsible for announcing their decision within a reasonably short period of time. Users may continue to add their thoughts until the Bureaucrats announce their decision. The current amount of System Operators running should not influence your decisions when voicing your opinion.

Once the two weeks are up, the Bureaucrats will review the community discussion and make a decision based upon it. The user will be notified of the status of their request, and will be promoted should it appear that the community is willing to accept them as a System Operator.

Example Application

Example User

I've been around 3 months, and I've made to date 550 edits. As you can see [link here] and [link here], I've been in the leadership role attempting to create a new format for this page. I'd very much like to become a System Operator.

  • Vouch - I am willing to vouch for this user. -- Voucher 03:41, 23 Jan 2006 (GMT)
  • Against - Example User, I haven't seen any evidence of your work on the wiki. --Some user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Vouch - Example User is the most active guy here. --Another user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Abstain - I'm just not sure, but I don't want to say why for some reason. --Some other user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Question - I just want to know what you think about this subject? --Yet another user 21:26, 4 April 2013 (BST)
