User:Honestmistake

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.--Karek^maps?! 01:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - I put him up here, it would be strange if I didn't vouch. I believe he would be a good Sysop. --Karek^maps?! 01:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - I've known him on the suggestion pages for a while. He's a good guy, doesn't get involved in too much drama and is reasonably level-headed. Not sure if he wants this, though. Linkthewindow  Talk  01:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - too fucking serious too much of the time.--CyberRead240 01:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - Look. 3 vouches. Now he has to accept. Although he might not. Did I mention Vouch? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 01:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - We do not need yet another rules-whoring crybaby on the sysop team. --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. --– Nubis ^NWO 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! --– Nubis ^NWO 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. --Karek^maps?! 04:41, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

• Strong 'gainst - Done nothinto deserve this, other wise as Cyberbob/Nubis... WTF hae you been smoking Karke?--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 02:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• Abstain - Sorry. I know Honest is contributive, but I'm not sure he's up to the task. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 02:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• 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. --WanYao 03:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• AgainstI don't see him that often, nor do I see any great contributions.--Thadeous Oakley 09:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - Free sysops for everybody \õ/ --—The preceding signed comment was added by Hagnat (talk • contribs) at 10:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

  honestmistake is a good and caring gontributor. he is not the kind who acts for the lulz, so he wont fuck up with his admin powers --—The preceding signed comment was added by Hagnat (talk • contribs) at 10:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

  Given the company you keep I'm sure you'll forgive people if they don't find your character reference all that exciting. --Cyberbob 11:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - He mostly has a point when he disagrees with a decision, and even if I disagree, it's usually a difference of opinion -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:23 31 January 2009 (BST)

  Should anyone else bother voting then, if he accepts the nomination? --Cyberbob 11:43, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

  Of course they should. I always take into account other people's opinions -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:13 31 January 2009 (BST)

  Hahaha. That's a good one. --Cyberbob 12:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

  When does cyberbob's trolling cross the border into shitting up an Admin page? --WanYao 12:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

  My comment was considerably more relevant than that attempt, my dear. If you want to go after someone for shitting up admin pages I suggest you take a look at the amount of shit I've moved off A/VB onto the talk page in recent weeks. --Cyberbob 12:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
