{{vndl|MisterGame}}

I’m here today to nominate for promotion the user who I feel is the most deserving of it on this entire wiki (excluding present sysops). That user is Thad. He’s consistently shown that he’s got the best interests of the wiki and the community at heart, and that he can handle the necessary janitorial work. Since his last bid, two months ago, where he was essentially denied for something which happened almost three years ago, I feel he’s made even more growth towards being an ideal candidate. He made significant contributions to clearing up [[:Category:Arbitration Cases]], and has taken mediatory roles in lots of recent conflicts. I have complete faith in Thad as a system operator, and hope that he receives the promotion I believe he desperately deserves.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 14:30, 13 October 2010 (BST)
:You put me in a tough position. I wasn't planning on making another attempt at sysopship just yet but turning this down means waiting yet another few months. I genuinely appreciate your kind words and trust you put in me, but meh what to do! --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:27, 14 October 2010 (BST)  
::Turning it down Doesn't mean you have to wait months. We can all work out the difference between being nominated and self nomination. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 15:34, 14 October 2010 (BST)
:::Sorry about that, but, as Ross, nobody will discriminate against you for running when you're ready.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 15:49, 14 October 2010 (BST)
::::Nah, it's okay. But consider this a '''Rejection''', mainly because I rather plan this myself. I can already see where this is going anyway, and I have to say it's sad to see how fast people lose faith in you the moment they see something they don't like but which is otherwise perfectly acceptable, or when things take a slight bump or whatever.  --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 16:23, 14 October 2010 (BST)  

Thanks Thad. Archiving as such. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:34, 14 October 2010 (BST)

* '''Vouch''' -- assuming Thad accepts the nomination, of course. [[User:Asheets|Asheets]] 16:16, 13 October 2010 (BST)
*:At least I get the vouch from the guy who doesn't like people who self-nominate ;)--[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:27, 14 October 2010 (BST)
* '''Against''' - Seems too partial to his own group(s) and is rather rude to users. --[[User:Wesker|Wesker]] 16:28, 13 October 2010 (BST)
*:Actually, you're right, I'm not impartial towards my own group. Obviously, because it is my group. That doesn't mean I will misuse my sysops powers for it. I can't be complete impartial, I'm a human being just as everyone else. If something arises where I could be sufficiently biased towards something, like my group, I would leave it up to other sysops. Not that I wouldn't give my opinion but I'm not going to use my powers and responsibilities on things where I have a vested interest. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:27, 14 October 2010 (BST)
* '''Against''' - Wow as above, and you forget ex-zerger. i kinda wanna use the "f" word here some where. but i'm sure someone else will.----[[User:Sexualharrison|<span style="color:Red">sexualharrison</span>]][[Image:Starofdavid2.png | 18px]] ¯\([[Image:Boobs.gif|18px]])/¯ 16:59, 13 October 2010 (BST)
*My Mudkips say Vouch because they're hungry and want cookies. ;) --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 17:03, 13 October 2010 (BST)

::Hey it's not a bribe if I give it ''after'' you vouch, right?--[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:27, 14 October 2010 (BST)
:With 3 Vouches, Mistergame will be moved to the "under consideration" section if he confirms he wants to run. Typically Yon, we don't pop this in the news section until we know the candidate confirms. Feel free to voice opinions below this comment--{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 17:05, 13 October 2010 (BST)
::Ergh, I get told off either way, so I don't care. He'll probably confirm anyway, I should think.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 17:08, 13 October 2010 (BST)
::What are you talking about? Of course we do. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/l}} 23:23, 13 October 2010 (BST)
* '''Against''' - First off, I don't appreciate the same candidate being proposed again after such a short time from his last bid. Plus, since said bid, he's made relatively few edits to the glossary-mainspace. We can't promote him just for occasionally having a helpful opinion, especially when he hasn't improved since he was recently denied. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 00:41, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*'''Arbitrary Against''' - Cuz he failed to get 3 vouches in the same calendar day.--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 01:02, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:Yes he did? He got them within 3 hours of each other.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 08:07, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*::Err, I only see the vouch from asheets and axe hack.  Which one am I missing?--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 11:29, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:::Yon's op for the promotion bit? It's effectively a vouch. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 11:31, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:You're joking right :( ? --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:27, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - I'm not yet convinced thad should be a sysop, or that the team would be better off with him in it. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/l}} 04:13, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:Wow, really? That's all I get from you? You said something entirely different last time around. After my last attempt, I tried to do a bit more janitorial duty, and carry on as usual. Either you have a long term memory problem, or there is something else bothering you, that for some reason you don't wish to share with me. I have known you for almost three years, I'm not going to let you get away with a simple "No" on this bid. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:27, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - Whilst I felt that Thad had built up a good head of steam for his last bid, it seems that this momentum has vanished. Gone is the maintenance and janitorial work, and frankly, I've lost faith in him. I also feel this was ill-timed, but that's not a point against Thad himself. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 14:59, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:You might want to re-check the janitoral stuff, and if you don't want a Sysops who won't always agree with you then by all means speak up. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:30, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*::I have nothing against sysops disagreeing, so long as there's something productive comes of it. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 15:32, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:::You know as good as I what this is about, but feel free to tip-to around the subject. Frankly, if it were the other way around I would said something else. You see things from a completely different perspective then I do, but you manage to back up with good arguments nonetheless. I tend to disagree entirely with what you have to say, I have already given up on trying to get you to see things from my side, but that doesn't mean I consider you unfit for duty. But whatever, this wasn't really a surprise anyway. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 15:57, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*::::If you're that concerned about it, yes, several of your actions concerning the entire umbrella thing are what highlighted this the most (seeking deletion of pages with no cause, use of utility pages in a biased manner), but also getting into heated tangents during open-and-shut VB and Misconduct cases either for oneupmanship or simply to draw out unnecessary cases doesn't help you at all, and looking through your contribs, it's about two months since your last constructive admin-page edit, so "re-checking" hasn't made you look better for this either. Does that make you feel better? {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 16:09, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*:::::That was low. And wrong too. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 16:25, 14 October 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - Are you fuckin kidding, Yonnua? This is beyond scrapping the bloody barrel. Piss on this fuckin turd.{{User:Zombie Lord/sig2}} <tt>16:13 14 October 2010(UTC)</tt>
