Blue Command Vic

Giving it another try, after spending more time on the wiki and making more (constructive) edits. I've created a page in my userspace to keep track of my edits and contributions, and I'll let that page speak for itself. --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 04:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Re: Against my better judgement, might I ask why? --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 04:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  You are nothing but rude and callous, you routinely act like a complete asshole, you have contributed nothing but flames and drama to the wiki since you first came, you make fun of newbs and take them to vandal banning for no good reason, and have no contributions of note whatsoever.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gage (talk • contribs) .

  I definitely wouldn't call trying to keep the wiki organized and making sense to be "no reason whatsoever". If I'm a little stingier than our current mods, maybe that's something to my credit. If everything suspicious is reported, than the chances of catching the true vandals goes up significantly. Am I right? --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 05:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  No. Reporting actual vandals will help catch actual vandals. What are you doing? Wasting my time.--Gage 05:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Of course, by "wasting my time" you mean "wasting our time", right? Cyberbob  Talk  06:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  The time of me, you, and every other mod on the wiki is what I meant.--Gage 23:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

• Against - Would you have edited the wiki like you have been if you weren't trying to go for mod? Seems a lil self-back patting--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 05:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Re: I don't see any reason for someone to make edits that don't help out the wiki, but I see what you're saying. Yes, I would make those edits regardless of moderator aspirations or not. I'm trying to become a mod so I can help out on a higher level. --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 05:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  I am particularly fond of this edit, but who can forget this one? Those edits are a minute apart, and you bothered to increase your edit count? You make me laught Vic. Do you know how many edits I have? I don't, because I don't bother actually counting. I guess I could figure it out if I wanted to, but it isn't important. Someone who wanted to help the wiki would actually help the wiki instead of creating an entire page to create the impression that he has actually done something for the wiki.--Gage 05:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  I made those edits so close together because I had counted wrong. It's the same thing that would happen if you made a minor typo and didn't catch it until after you submitted the changes. I made the page so I could keep track for myself, if you can wrap your mind around that one. --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 05:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  6204 edits since last purge, Gage, if you are wondering...Conndraka^{mod TDHPD CFT} 09:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

• Against - Green is my favourite colour. Cyberbob  Talk  05:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Personally, I'm a fan of blue, but I'm not the envious type, if that's what you mean. --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 05:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Actually, I was just being random. Heh. Seriously, though - you remind me too much of Matthew Fahrenheit. You don't know him, but trust me - that's not a good thing. Cyberbob  Talk  05:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  The name sounds familiar. Care to elaborate? --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 05:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  He was... ambitious. Overly so. He also had a penchant for challenging every little decision made by a mod - any mod. It was fairly obvious that his only reasoning behind helping out was to be promoted, rather than to actually improve the wiki. Cyberbob  Talk  05:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Heyyyyy!! --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 14:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  Just calling it as I see it, Matt. Cyberbob  Talk  14:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

• Against - I'm sorry, but that page bragging about your contribs is pretty lame. What really have you done? Hung out, made some stuff about your characters, and screwed around with some locations? That's not a lot of anything, really.--Lachryma 05:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - I don't like your attitude. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 05:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Abstain - Don't you think this is a little soon since your last attempt at nomination? Doesn't feel like much time. --MorthBabid 05:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - I could go cut and paste my last vote (has it really been a month? no, not quite), but I'm feeling lazy at the moment. My rationale hasn't changed, though. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 05:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Rather Strongly Against - --CaptainM 06:11, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - No. its not even been a full month... good god man give it some time. Conndraka^{mod TDHPD CFT} 06:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - I was kind of meh about you until I learned about the page detailing your exploits. Now you're just a common asshat.--J Muller 07:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - It's good that you show ambition but give it more time. Pillsy ^FT 09:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - Your contributions of pages isn't very widespread is it? Some stuff about you, bad will towarrds other groups and a few location pages. Well Done you. --Marie^{The Grove} 10:44, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - I recognise you, I just don't have a clue what you've done. Jonny12 ^Talk 14:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - I'm honestly surprised I didn't vote against you the first time. If anything you've gotten worse since then. –Xoid ^M•T•FU! 14:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Agaisnt - I've seen your work, and frankly, I'm disgusted. -Axe27 15:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Abstain - I've seen your name, but I don't know your work at all, so can't comfortably make a vote. However, from what I've read so far, obviously there's some discrepancy between what you think qualifies you and those so far unanimously voting again you. It seems best you withdraw your nom and continue to work on your editing and contributions. Then, let someone else nominate you when they think you're up to it. That said, don't "try too hard", just work on the wiki as you think you should; and not to attain the "next level."--The Envoy 18:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - You can't cherry-pick which rules you want to follow and which ones that you don't. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 18:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - Who are you?--Agent White ^{W!•SGP•CMS-Meta•CMS} 19:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - you've nominated yourself, the first few votes show how argumentative you enjoy being and you do seem to be doing a lot of stuff just so you can make yourself look like mod material. When that stretches to reporting people for vandalism when they're not really vandals, it just shows your judgement up as being highly flawed. --Funt Solo 23:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - Sorry, I don't think you've been on the wiki long enough to get sysop status. I have seen a lot of the stuff you have done including suggestions and the Ragnarok page. If you keep up contributing and apply in a few months, I would gladly vote in favor of the status. --Zombie slay3r 13:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - *COUGH* All my reasons are listed above. --Slice 'N' Dicin' Axe Hack 13:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Vouch - I think that Vic has the intentions and ability to be a fair contributor to the mod pool. Some of the above complaints seem to be more of a personal attack than objective reasoning. I also think it's hypocritical to accuse him of making mean comments about other users. I have yet to see a nice or kind comment from some of the above mods. -- Cheeser, ^DvB|DA  18:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - Not mod material. Beyond any comparation brought by Cyberbob (very biased btw), anything that you have done for the wiki seem extremely eclipsed by drama and useless amount of edits. When I was here, at least I didn't create the drama myself. And for our health's sake, don't submit another mod bid for some months! --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 19:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - Everyone else makes a good point (with the exception of a few people). --Wikidead 01:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - You smell funny. --Grim s-^{Mod U!} 09:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against - Sorry bud, but you don't seem to be all there with the wiki quite yet. I'd vouch for you in a few months, though. --Joe O'Wood TALKCONTRIBSUD 23:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

  Also, you realize that all of your "created pages" fall under your user or the template namespace, right? That's not something I'd be too proud of. --Joe O'Wood TALKCONTRIBSUD 23:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• Against - Sorry, I have to agree with Joe.--Labine50 ^MH|^ME|^P 01:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Against: I don't think it's been long enough yet. Be patient and keep working. Good things come to those who wait. --Reaper with no name ^TJ! 22:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
