Until then all peoples opinions are weighted equally and worthy of being heard." I must also concede to the law commemorated in bombastic black text. --[[User:Lex Lotor|Lex Lotor]] 05:14, 24 April 2011 (BST)

*'''Vouch''' - because I'm tired of doing all the deleting, moving and other admin stuff he constantly requests myself :P Seriously, though, Karek's not just extremely tech-savvy, he also has made a strong return with a lot of behind-the-background gnomeing. As an additional (though weaker) plus, he also isn't afraid to have an unpopular stance and stick with it on the opinion pages. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 16:38, 24 April 2011 (BST)

*'''Vouch''' - He has a VERY strong technical background, and, in IRC conversations with him, I've seen that he's over my head on some or a lot of the technical know-how related to the wiki (which is kinda nice, since Rooster was the last regular who frequently did technical things I didn't always understand at a glance). He's not afraid to disagree when it needs to be done, but he doesn't do it just for the sake of doing it. I have a few things I'm not sure about, but none so worrying that they would lessen the strength of my vouch. Adding him to the team would be a good thing. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:07, 25 April 2011 (BST)

*'''Against''' - Karak has been found barricaded inside a building that was too heavily barricaded for the local barricade policy in effect.
