''There are no candidates at this time.''
([[User talk:Blake Firedancer|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Blake Firedancer|Contribs]])


Given the recent attack of the 3-headed spam hydra that was [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_05#User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]]/[[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_05#User:Bada Bing|Bada Bing]]/[[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_05#User:Gummy Bear|Gummy Bear]], I'd like to put myself up for nomination.
!--->
''There are no candidates at this time.''


I've made plenty of edits to the wiki, even helping out with the occasional VB case, but I think I could help out more as a SysOp. --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 10:45, 28 May 2009 (BST)
==Recent Bids==


*'''Against''' - I've always enjoyed watching your edits to the wiki, and I don't think I've ever met a user as positive as you always are, and given time, you could oneday become a sysop. However, at the moment, your edits aren't nearly prominent enough, you don't even pass Criterion 2. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:53, 28 May 2009 (BST)
===[[User:Hagnat]]===
*'''Against''' - Despite taking two attempts at basic editing, you still managed to lodge your own candidacy in the wrong section. Coupled with some of the stuff you come up with in the suggestions system convinces me that you have no clue about this game, let alone the wiki. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:07, 28 May 2009 (BST)
*[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Hagnat/2019-08-14 Promotion|Archived as Unsuccessful]].
:*Ah, yes. I was hoping you wouldn't notice that. I was unaware of the particular templates to use, and so 'copied' DDR's request. Unfortunately, I forgot I was editing the Passed section when I submitted. --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 11:51, 28 May 2009 (BST)
::*And then you moved it into the 'Under Community Discussion' section, again wrong, causing me to have to move it. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:51, 29 May 2009 (BST)
:::*True. Not exactly a good start to this process, huh? --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 08:38, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*'''Against''' - You do not pass criterion 2. Try again later if you are still interested. - [[User:Whitehouse]] 11:26, 28 May 2009 (BST)
*'''Against''' - Retard. Fuck off. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 11:52, 28 May 2009 (BST)
*:Very constructive. Anger much?--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]], <span style= "color: gold; background-color: darkblue"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">''Europeans, don't forget to VOTE!''</span></span> 12:46, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*::Since when was he angry? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 13:35, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*:::He has been angry on occasion, for sure it's rare but i have caught sight of it briefly before. also this promotion bid discussion brings in lulz.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 07:24, 31 May 2009 (BST)
*::::The last time I can recall being angry was at the height of That Edit War. Before that... I think Gold Blade might've pissed me off one or twice with his sheer tenacity in being retarded. I was younger then, however; Honest is far worse when it comes to the brains department (Gold Blade was really more of a self-styled Amazing v2) and the only emotions I've ever felt regarding him have been amusement and pity. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 14:13, 31 May 2009 (BST)
*::babby's first comeback --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 14:00, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*I only know you because of your idiotic suggestions. However, a small amount of research shows that you fail Criterion 2, and you managed to put your bid in the wrong place. '''Strongly Against.''' --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 19:13, 28 May 2009 (BST)
*'''abstain''' More time, More edits, more face time towards the community. You seem to be a good enough guy but "ya aint quite there yet..." [[User:Conndraka|Conndraka]]<sup>[[Moderation|mod]] [[User_talk:Conndraka|T]][[AZM]] [[Coalition for Fair Tactics|''CFT'']]</sup> 23:05, 28 May 2009 (BST)
*'''Abstain''' - You need more experience. If you want real good advice, well, I suggest you put allot more time in the administration sections. Do realize that you always need to <s>suck some serious cocks</s> fully agree with certain sysops and other senior wiki members. Never get in a dispute with them, and remember, they are always right and you are always wrong. Go along the flow and you'll be up for sysops again in no time.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]], <span style= "color: gold; background-color: darkblue"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">''Europeans, don't forget to VOTE!''</span></span> 09:56, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*:I'm sorry you're so bitter. Perhaps try being less of a spergan sperger? --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 10:24, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*::Maybe if you explain to me what spergan sperger is. Is that aussie, british, american or interwebs? --[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]], <span style= "color: gold; backgrout=nd-color: darkblue"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">''Europeans, don't forget to VOTE!''</span></span> 12:44, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*:::It means you're a pathetic aspie who loves to blame everything and everyone but yourself when things don't go your way. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 14:01, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*::::Actually I do realize my actions were eccentric, as the entire thing was petty. I blame myself and SA where the "community" is laying the blame at me only. The only reason for that is because SA is a sysops and part of <s>circle of men humping each other in the ass</s> "kool krew" as you put it.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]], <span style= "color: gold; background-color: darkblue"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">''Europeans, don't forget to VOTE!''</span></span> 15:58, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*:::::laffo, where did I ever put it as the "kool krew" (also saying "what you really think" and passively-aggressively striking it out is not witty)? --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 16:38, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*::::::You mentioned it on his talk page somewhere, doesn't really matter you know what I mean. Also, I have seen you pointing out that certain thing aren't funny or witty or whatever several times now. First off, I you don't like it, then take it up ya arse. Second, you don't represent all of humanity I'm afraid, its not up to you to decide what's funny and what not. Third, maybe its not meant to be funny/witty in the first place. It probably comes allot closer to the truth metaphorically speaking.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]], <span style= "color: gold; background-color: darkblue"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">''Europeans, don't forget to VOTE!''</span></span> 16:51, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*:::::::such anger, such fury. his heart was practically beating its way out of his chest as he smote each key with righteous vengeance. every word chosen with infinite care, every phrase placed just so --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:53, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*:::::::If he doesn't represent all of humanity, then stop calling him 'the community', since he and I were the only two users to be deeply involved in your idiotic talk-page fiasco, which you now believe is the reason 'the community' is persecuting you to protect their elitist positions of power, despite the fact neither of us were sysops when it happened, and both of us only participated in it so it could stop. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 18:01, 29 May 2009 (BST)
*::::::::I'm willing to let bob decide whats funny and whats not. As I've said before, he does a pretty good job at that stuff.--<font face="Rage italic"><span style="color: DarkMagenta">Mr. Angel,</span> [[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">Help</span>]] [[Project_Mentor|<span style="color/.: Black">needed?</span>]]</font> 18:25, 29 May 2009 (BST)

*:::Possibly, but probably not. I don't get off on people crying. But damn, it's funny when people try to act as if we're all persecuting them. Get over yourself. If we were persecuting you, I'd have taken you to A/VB, and then the next Op would have banned your ass. Do go on though.

OH FUCKKK ITS CYBERBOB HAMMER DAT '''Strongly Against''' BUTAN
==Archived Bids==
 
''For earlier promotion bids, see the following:''
Basically I'm deciding to totally backflip on my longstanding position of not wanting to be a sysop again. Why? Well I pretty much feel like this wiki's in for a bit of a rough patch with regards to policy and it's really frustrating having to sit on the sidelines and hope my posts are read by sysops.
*[[:Category:{{CURRENTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|This year's promotion bids]]
 
*[[:Category:{{LASTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|Last year's promotion bids]]
Now because I don't want to base my bid entirely around a temporary (and possibly one that's not going to happen) state of affairs, here's some other totally awesome shit: I pretty much know this joint inside and out, I'm more than capable of separating personal conflicts with my sysop duties and I'm almost always active so that's something too.
*[[A/SA|Sysop Archives]] for older bids and related sysop activities
 
Not much else to say, really (tbh I dunno why I'm bothering to even write this much; not a lot I can say now will change any opinions on either side of the aisle). --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 16:48, 5 June 2009 (BST)
 
*'''Vouch''' for this mutha fucka.
*#He knows what he's doing
*#He knows when to take things over the accustomed edge
*#He actually does shit around here, unlike a few ops.
*#While he may be a bit of a troll, EVERYONE of the ops team is occasionally, not to mention half the community.
*#Voting against because of your personal past with him, without having any regards to how he'd do in the admin section, is petty. Grow up.
*:Vote Cyberbob240. He actually has a clue.--[[KyleStyle_For_Everything|<font face="Rage italic"><span style="color: DarkMagenta">Mr. Angel,</span> ]][[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">Help</span>]] [[Project_Mentor|<span style="color: Black">needed?</span>]]</font> 16:53, 5 June 2009 (BST)

*:::zomg bias? {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 08:01, 6 June 2009 (BST)
 
*'''Vouch''' - I do strongly believe Cyberbob would be an asset to the sysop team. He really, ''really'' knows his stuff. He isn't afraid of drama, and doesn't let relationships or images affect his judgment. He knows progress and he knows this wiki. I often feel ashamed of how long it took me to appreciate Bob. I would love for him to have another shot. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 17:05, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*Question: Looking at point 5 from SA. Hypothetically speaking, if I was up for promoting would you vouch or not vouch for me?--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]], <span style= "color: gold; background-color: darkblue"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">''Europeans, don't forget to VOTE!''</span></span> 17:32, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:Are you talking about me or Bob? Either way, I think I speak for both of us when I say you need a lot more practice with the admin sections.--[[KyleStyle_For_Everything|<font face="Rage italic"><span style="color: DarkMagenta">Mr. Angel,</span> ]][[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">Help</span>]] [[Project_Mentor|<span style="color: Black">needed?</span>]]</font> 17:36, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:No. Not because I personally don't like you (though I imagine my actual against comment would just be "Retard" or something; I'm lazy like that) but because I don't think you are emotionally stable enough to remain objective when considering particularly charged vandalism/misconduct cases. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:42, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Vote changed to AGAINST''' Your amazing change to a polite and semi reasonable individual has actually convinced me that you cannot be trusted to be at all consistent... Skills are not enough for this role and frankly i just do not trust your judgement! --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 00:21, 10 June 2009 (BST)
*:I have vouched for Bob in the past and my opinion of his ability to do the job has not changed, he really does know his shit and could do a pretty damn good job in the post if he stopped being so abusive and confrontational. Sadly his attitude to this place has changed greatly since he last stood and I don't think we need a self confirmed career troll in the sysop team and I do not know that he can be trusted not to get bored and keep trolling way beyond what should be acceptable. Lastly, his assertion that he wants the post so that his opinion will have more weight also speaks volumes about his intent, Policy discussions are open to all and are voted on by all... a sysop badge does not give it any real weight--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 17:37, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*::You (should) know as well as anyone who's spent a long time on this wiki that the outcomes of especially grey vandalism cases can determine precedent that fundamentally changes how things operate. I thought I was being clear about referring to those situations rather than policy votes; apparently not. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:42, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:::Completely agree with you about precedent (even though all cases are evaluated on their own merit) and the frustration of not having any real voice on such issues... you do clearly mention Policy rather than A/VB though and, as I am expecting the current cases to end up with attempts at policy changes, it was an obvious inference to make. TBH I am very torn on this one as I know you can do the job but your behavior towards me and a good number of other users makes me wonder if you would so the job as it should be done.--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 17:56, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*::::Oh well. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:58, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Vouch'''' - He's a bastard, but an honest bastard. I don't always agree with what he says/his attitude, but I can trust him to make the right decision when it matters.--{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 17:52, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Against''' From what I've noticed, he's abusive and nasty.  For example, on this page, while registering against someone's nomination, he included the comment, "Retard.  Fuck off."  That's needless, gross, and shouldn't be encouraged with sysop promotion. --{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 17:53, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:To be fair, he was pretty much correct. And there is no civility policy on this wiki.--{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 17:59, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*::But that's no reason to be uncivil. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 18:35, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Weak Against''' - Your behaviour makes me believe that you don't seem to care anymore, or just fooling around for kicks, neither of which are good. Feel free to prove me otherwise. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 18:35, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:Have you not seen the seriousness with which I've treated the recent drama surrounding Iscariot and the associated misconduct cases? Sure I've had some fun with Honest, but for the most part I've been keeping things cool calm and collected. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 18:39, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*::I don't mind a little tomfoolery, but are you still going to make comments such as "Retard.  Fuck off." on people's bids, for example? I gave a weak against because of what I gather from how you acted when you were a sysop (this is a positive), but some of your less than pleasant comments are not exactly constructive. By all means, you don't have to be the goody tooshoo but it would be appreciable if you would cut down on some of those comments. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 18:57, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:::My lazy approach to promotions bids is pretty much born from the attitude that there isn't a lot I could say to influence the outcome either way. This would probably change if I was promoted I guess; it ''is'' an admin page and as a sysop you kind of feel obligated to take it seriously even if it isn't technically a sysop duty. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 19:07, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*::::Mkay, fair enough, I suppose. I'll '''Vouch''' for you.  --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 17:44, 7 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Against''' - The thought of him being able to stay serious and neutral in the job is laughable.--{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 18:37, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 19:12, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - As SA and Drawde. Also, his name is Bob. --{{User:BobBoberton/sig}} 19:16, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Weak Vouch''' - As Gnome and Honest, but also as Drawde. --{{User:Janus Abernathy/Sig}} 20:49, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Reluctant, yet still strong Against''' - While I think Cyberbob ''could'' make a good sysop if he put effort into it, it's the kind of laziness he mentions in his reply to Thad that forces me to be against the bid. I strongly believe a candidate should be behaving in a way fitting of a sysop (which includes justifying his decisions) '''well before promotion'''. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]<small><sup>¦[[User talk:Midianian|T]]¦[[Developing Suggestions|DS]]¦[[Suggestions|SP]]¦</sup></small> 20:54, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Against''' - As Argo. The people who get the super-wiki-powers should be fair, smart and not assholes. Period. Bob knows his shit and I don't doubt that he could be fair if he had to be, but I doubt his motives. I think the word fagtard is funny too, but launching it repeatedly at other wiki users does not a sysop make. Can someone (or maybe Bob himself) tell me what he's done lately that made the wiki a better place?  --{{User:Paddy Dignam/sig}} 23:49, 5 June 2009 (BST)
*:Welp, when did I use the word fagtard? As for stuff I've done that's made the wiki a better place, I'd like to think I've had at least a minor effect on the outcome of Iscariot's case. As for my motives... you should look back in the archives to the last time I was a sysop. I was pretty much exactly the same personality-wise as I am now, yet I always separated my official duties from my personal relationships. This would still hold true. If you meant why I want the job back, my motives ''there'' are that I'm sick of feeling like I'm being ignored on vandalism cases which are especially grey; I know ''why'' we have the users-on-the-talkpage deal but all the same it's kind of obvious that the sysops don't read it. On top of all this I do make an excellent janitor and I enjoy the work (not the power, the ''work''). --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 03:51, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*::I read the talk page, but that's because I bring up recent changes starting at the time I was last up, and work my way up bringing the interesting diff links up in new tabs as I go.--[[KyleStyle_For_Everything|<font face="Rage italic"><span style="color: DarkMagenta">Mr. Angel,</span> ]][[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">Help</span>]] [[Project_Mentor|<span style="color: Black">needed?</span>]]</font> 04:18, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Against''' - I want to be able to vouch for bob, but with one nubis causing this much trouble, it's hard to want a second...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 07:39, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*:That's a pretty fallacious argument. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 08:01, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*::Then pick holes in it? --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 08:03, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*:::For one thing I'm not Nubis. We are in complete disagreement about the recent drama over Iscariot, and have exchanged a number of rather heated posts about it. I also don't do meltdowns. If I'm pissed/depressed/tired/whatever I take a break for a while rather than going off on a rampage, so to suggest that I am a "second Nubis" makes for a nice little witticism but it falls down under even the most cursory examination of our attitudes. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 08:42, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*::::Ah yes good sir, however you failed to notice you're both annoying twats.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 07:58, 7 June 2009 (BST)
*:::::heh heh heh good one --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 08:14, 7 June 2009 (BST)
*'''STRONGEST VOUCH'''  I've never had a problem with Bob. He's definitely not a Nubis Jr. I think I would know. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 09:42, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*'''VOUCH''' FUCK OFF RETARD! there someone had to say it. yes bob is a troll sometimes. but most of the time he is right.----[[User:Sexualharrison|Sexualharrison]][[Image:Starofdavid2.png | 18px]] [[Image:Boobs.gif|18px]] 13:11, 6 June 2009 (BST)
*'''Against'''. Wont let personal relationships get in the way of good judgment? lol. You have practically shown a complete inability for any sort of reform with anyone who doesn't bow down and lick your arse in order to shy away from your constant harassment. There is no way you will be able to resist doing SOMETHING wrong. Do we want another boxy/nubis/hagnat? Hiding behind the red tape in order to boss the users around and do whatever the fuck they feel like? Remember, the sysops didnt cite personal issues when they took Jed out. He mightnt have deserved to have been there in the first place, but he was there. Also, argues his point with more big words rather than big points. Don't buy Bob a thesaurus for christmas he obviously already has 12, and that maeks hm smart. I am also against gay marriage and guns.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 14:10, 6 June 2009 (BST)

*'''Against''' Giles Sednik quoted "Retard.Fuck off" and I must agree I dont think that language is required here, therefore allowing that person more "power" in my opinion is folly, I dont doubt he is very skilled at what he does but if I was spoke to like that it would make me think twice about using the wiki.--[[User:C Whitty|C Whitty]] 19:06, 7 June 2009 (BST)

Almost everyone here uses harsh language, it's one of the problems with the internet. and our current ops team (Especially me) cusses up a storm, with insults for good measure.

On another note, I'd like to say Paddy Dignam is a faggot. I'd rather have a sysop that is an asshole and does his job than a nice guy who doesn't do shit right. In other words, Paddy wishes the wiki sysops were more like himself, a white knight bitch that doesn't like people who are mean, yet honest.

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)
