User:Karek

I was going to wait until the other bid was finished to do this but have decided it's gonna happen now instead.

I have been a sysop for a while now, there has been much drama relating to some of my actions a lot of various background work done. We've finally reached a point where the majority of the sysop team is actually active and doing stuff, I hoped we had reached a point where the sysops understood that they actually do have some control of the user base and should act accordingly (In a manner conducive to the administrative nature of the position) but I'll leave that to everyone else to decide, although we certainly are closer than we were when I was promoted.

I'm putting myself up here as opposed to simply demotion, because I feel that it would be improper for me to leave without at lest giving the community at least one final chance at assessing my treatment and actions as a sysop. Yes, this is a re-promotion bid, It's also probably not as good as it could be wording and information wise I've always sucked at these things. Have at thee.--Karek^maps?! 16:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch Because he wants to baptise children in acid. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:52, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
• Against - I like Karek, but it looks like he's lost his smile, he's a good guy, and a good for the community.. but if he doesn't want it... he doesn't want it. If you change your mind... I'll happily change my vote.--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 17:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Vouch - <Iscariot> It's not a pity, if Karek decides to stay, I'll be leaving the game. --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 20:55, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

• Question - Do you want to stay on as sysop? --Janus ^talk 18:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

(Strong Vouch if he wants, Against if he doesn't.) --Janus ^talk 21:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

• He's fine and all. I think you should stay. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:48, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
• Against - As per Anime Sucks. --Speels 19:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - If you want to stay on, you would be welcome. I believe you are an excellent sysop.-- Adward  19:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Abstain - I would dearly love it if you carried on, but if you want to leave this god awful place, then go for it. Also, as Anime.-- Adward  20:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

• Against - If you don't want to be sysop, don't do it. Even if the community is overwhelming support of keeping you on, if you don't want to do it then just don't. I find this move to be in somewhat poor taste because the last thing we need is a sysop who doesn't want to be there.--SirArgo ^Talk 20:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

  Vouch - As Anime's update. I don't know if it's true but it's worth a shot.--SirArgo ^Talk 21:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

• Very Strong Vouch - While I don't always agree with Karek, I very much respect his opinion and I personally find him to be a very able and knowledgeable member of the team. -- Cheese 21:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch Because I may not agree with what you say much of the time But I will defend with my life your right to say it. Honestly. Furthermore, no community may be properly represented in its administration without at least some representation from allmost possible angles. Karek is my counterpoint on many of beleifs I represent as my own. If Karek leaves I would have to change my public visage, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to do that. btw if anyone wants to comment on this please do it on my talk page so it doesnt shit up this validation of Kareks service and abilities.

• Shit mate, one of the few people on this wiki I can count on to be intelligent and know what he's doing, and now you're going to leave? Damn. Do what you want to do, but I still say you did an awesome job.--SA 22:19, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - I would like to see him stay, he does a lot of useful work, with a minimum of fuss -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:44 5 February 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - As Nubis. err...Suicidalangel. And who will be left to out-lawyer the wikilawyers if you go? DON'T LEAVE US! --Jen 02:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  Erm...Nubis hasn't posted here yet. -- Cheese 00:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  Good work, Team-BFF -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 00:17 6 February 2009 (BST)

  Dangint! --Jen 02:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch I think I said everything on my talk page under Srs Question. I don't think you are as hated by "the community" as it was painted. Hopefully, this will give you the reassurance that people do respect you for taking the hardline on issues.-+N+BFF SA--– Nubis ^NWO 00:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - As others, I don't always agree with Karek... however, he's one of the best sysops we have. He always strives to things the right way, and is probably the single person I've learned the most from on this wiki. The wiki will lose a very good person if you go, karek. Sigh... :( --WanYao 03:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - You suck for putting Honest up for promotion, but apart from that you're alright. --Cyberbob 03:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - I don't always agree with your opinion, but I think you are as fair and unbiased as anyone will get around here. --Pestolence^(talk) 04:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Against - You want over here.--xoxo 04:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  Btw that's an as anime not a i want you demoted nao.--xoxo 06:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

• Karek's a great guy, and what boxy said-he does a lot of work with very little fuss. Although he can attract drama sometimes, that's pretty meh overall. He's enough of an ass to make hard decisions and get things done, but he's nice enough to not simply piss everyone off for no reason, and create MOAR DRAMAS!!!! Linkthewindow  Talk  05:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

That said, Karek shouldn't be forced to stay on as sysop if he doesn't want it. Linkthewindow  Talk  23:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

• vouch Karek and I disagree on a great many things but he is always willing to explain and defend his position in a fair and logical way rather than just dismiss people as wrong he is also the most likely of all sysops to act without bias. Couple that with his understanding of how things work and i really doubt that we can afford to lose him... Still going to argue with him a lot if he stays though.--Honestmistake 09:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - As Linkthewindow and Honestmistake. You're pretty much the best sysop we have. --Midianian^|T|DS|C:RCS| 11:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Meh - I know he has worked very hard as a sysops but the way he handeld a deletion lately was outright terrible, plain undemocratic. --Thadeous Oakley 14:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - Fair, unbiased and one of the best sysops around :). --D.E.ATalk 15:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch this is an easy one. as above. perfectly explained... speels go suck a dogs dick.----Sexualharrison 19:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - Bold in desicions but rarely wrong in my opinion. Liberty 23:19, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - While you might not always like they guy, he is necessary.--'BP^Tmz 23:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - --Bullgod 00:28, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch... OH SHIT BULLGOD ^.^ - --/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 01:01, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - he does an awesome job here.,, dont see a reason why let him go. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [mod]} 21:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - As Eddie. --Haliman - Talk 02:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Discussion closed. - I'll go confer with the Box. =p -- Cheese 19:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

After a chat with Boxy, Karek's re-promotion bid has been Successful. He has been asked if he would like to continue in this position and if he accepts then he will remain a sysop. -- Cheese 19:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
