User:Axe Hack

Axe Hack (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss)

Axe Hack is always here, and I'm nominating him for sysopness. Because,

• He always votes on all public votes.
• Uses Vandal banning sensibly and deals with bots quickly.
• Organizes in game and wiki based events.
• Provides good feedback for new users, and regularly uses DS.

In short he's a solid regular contributor who adds real worth to the wiki.

In a slightly less obvious manner, Axe has also matured from the "Most linked to user fiasco" of his youth into a wiki user who contributes regularly, has gained experience of sysopness on other wikis, and plays all aspects of the game, even if he is a terrible pker. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:41, 14 October 2010 (BST)

It's not yet a week, but I have made my decision. As much as I would love to accept this nomination bid, I feel that I can't accept this nomination bid on the fact that the person who nominated me is a 'crat. It just feels like any President or Prime Minister putting people he trust/like into power, if you know what I mean. Maybe if it were someone else who nominated me, then sure, I would accept, but this time around, I decline this nomination. Sorry Ross. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 17:26, 18 October 2010 (BST)

That's a very mature and aware decision, Axe. I'm honestly impressed. Keep up like that. —Aichon— 18:59, 18 October 2010 (BST)

Fair enough. Cheers Axey, have a good birthday. I'll cycle this as Unaccepted in a day or so. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:29, 18 October 2010 (BST)

• Vouch He's Axe Hack, nuff said--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:42, 14 October 2010 (BST)
• Vouch - Axe Hack wouldn't know bad faith if it slept with his mother. Which it might have. I don't know what kind of woman she's like. 21:47, 14 October 2010 (BST)
• Vouch but I hope he refuses the nomination. --Honestmistake 22:03, 14 October 2010 (BST)
• Strong Vouch - His willingness to throw his hat in to the ring for archiving is a good example of his high quality wiki work.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:13, 14 October 2010 (BST)
• Vouch Great guy, though I'm not sure he ever expressed wanting to be a sysops here but will see. --Thadeous Oakley 22:23, 14 October 2010 (BST)

  He did two years ago, when Cheese nominated him, but he eventually changed his mind and withdrew. He's apparently going to wait a week to think about it.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:30, 14 October 2010 (BST)

  I think I'll follow his lead then and wait a week before putting my opinion in writing. ;) —Aichon— 23:14, 14 October 2010 (BST)

• Strong Vouch - Axe Hack is awesome. His advertisement sig is awesome. his contributions to the community are awesome. His awesomeness has earnt him the #2 spot on the user section of my "Thumbs up" page. If he was any more awesome he would have legends written about him. Nuff said -Dezonus- ^(talk) 22:54, 14 October 2010 (BST)

  I had no idea I was on your list (last I had seen it, I wasn't on it). Nor do I have any clue what I did to deserve a place, since I've just been doing boring stuff for the last few weeks. Regardless, thanks. —Aichon— 23:14, 14 October 2010 (BST)

  Somehow I came across this post with extensions, most of which I downloaded and most were made by you. Thats why I deem you awesome. -Dezonus- ^(talk) 03:28, 15 October 2010 (BST)

  Oh, cool. Yeah, I have all of mine listed here, and to be fair, some of those that Axe credits me with were actually Midianian's and were either merely hosted by me or else modified only slightly. —Aichon— 03:44, 15 October 2010 (BST)

• Snowball Vouch-Yarp. An excellent choice.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 23:53, 14 October 2010 (BST)
• Strong Against - he hasn't matured from his "most liked user" phase at all, he's still a spammer, and honestly, that's all he really does, just hang around. He participates in stuff and checks RC a lot, but come on, he never makes a decision for himself where it matters and just WN's people, rarely checking to see their actual edits to see if they really do need help. I like Axe, but saying he should be a sysop is a laugh, sorry. -- LEMON #1 00:38, 15 October 2010 (BST)
• Against - As DDR. Being on the wiki ≠ helping the wiki. He's made less than 500 edits to the mainspace in his entire time here. Most of these are either personal, such as group or contest pages, or discussion pages in the mainspace, such as DS. The ideal sysop would actually care whether or not this wiki is an effective encyclopedia, not just use it as a forum. --VVV ^RPMBG 05:19, 15 October 2010 (BST)

  Wow, stats, I think its unfair not to include edits to UDWiki or its talk pages, but thats a point. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:10, 15 October 2010 (BST)

  Similarly, I think UUU judges too heavily on quantitative edits but even as a statistic I think it shows in leaps and bounds where Axe is as a user. Grim used to make distinct comparisons when judging candidates as users compared to their qualification as sysops, and this qualifies with Axe. He's a fine user, but, to be honest, I can't imagine him as an op. He organises game-related events, yes, and does... stuff. Yeah. But as Grim used to say with say hagnat, "he's a great user, but he's a bad op". That's what Axe would become. He is a good user, but lacks the qualities that make him a good op. -- LEMON #1 11:52, 15 October 2010 (BST)

  Sounds like a challenge for axey to answer to, if he decides to stand. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:55, 15 October 2010 (BST)

  And of course there was the purge.... --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:16, 15 October 2010 (BST)

• Weak Vouch I'm still warming up to Axe. Asheets 22:11, 15 October 2010 (BST)
• Vouch The Axe has my vote. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 12:22, 16 October 2010 (BST)
• vouch - maybe we need sysops who are more in game focused as well as out of game in order to keep people around. --

• Vouch -I dislike some things about him, specially his name... But he does a nice job, so he has my support in this. --Colette Hart 23:10, 16 October 2010 (BST)
• Vouch You see a man with black rimmed glasses. Before you ask for approval, he smiles and nods. --Noted Literature critic, Mead Sheaffer. 05:37, 17 October 2010 (BST)
• Abstain i like the little gook to much to say no. i have known axe since 06' he is a good sort. and lemmie see how this all plans out and i might change my mind----sexualharrison ¯\()/¯ 21:32, 17 October 2010 (BST)
