| Hey, it's me again. One of the main concerns last time i applied was my [[A/VD#J3D|vandalism]], while i can't go back and have it not happen, i haven't had any vandalism warnings etc since my promotion bid in july and, due to my invovlement in the wiki all existing bannings have been struck. I basically want to be a sysop as it would allow me to better perform various roles around the wiki and i feel i'd provide a different perspective than the existing team. Theres no need to be concerned about me being another inactive sysop, i've been around for 18 months plus and i've got no plans to leave anytime soon. Ummm if you want to know anymore i suggest you read over my [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/J3D|old bid]], i went into a few lengthly speels there. If you have any questions feel free to ask, etc etc.-{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 05:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

| | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
| *'''Vouch''' - The way I see it is, Jed ''wants'' to be a sysop. He ''will'' work tirelessly and fairly because he wants this job so badly. This is what we need on this wiki. We need sysops who want to do the jobs they are asked to do. Today, we have sysops who decide they are going to become inactive in times of controversy, perhaps a time when they are ''most'' needed. They don't rule on A/VB or A/M and they don't have a say in pressing or important deletions cases because giving their opinion may make them look bad, or might lose them "respect". We need more sysops who are willing to do the work that may lose them friends, but is ultimately right for the wiki. Jed is the right man for this job, and always has been.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 05:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *:I would just like to add, that people need to learn the difference between the rulings on the VB page. Jed has not had a warning against him since July. Regardless of how many times he has been put up on A/VB, he has not been warned since his last promotion bid. That is the fact to look at, because it is the only indicator of vandalism, their report. Also, like someone else said, Vandalism should not really be an issue, being a sysop is not a license to vandalize. Thats why we have A/M.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 04:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

| |
| *:I'm more or less active across the wiki, there's not a whole lot i don't stick my head in and check out every now and then. I used to have nothing to do with suggestions but i'm a regular on [[Developing Suggestions]] and a vote whenever i see suggestions nowadays. In regards to sysop powers , protecting and unprotecting will be a big one, many archival tasks need that and it's always annoying when you go to do something and see you can't, a/vb obviously as i've always been involved with a/vb in one way or another as well as akule's new unbanning of permabanned users discussion and of course deletions stuffs. Yeah that pretty much covers it.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 08:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

| *::Good answers, I don't doubt your skill or commitment but i do worry slightly about your judgement... that said you do show a willingness to discuss and if necissary modify your opinion and that together with your oft stated desire to see Sysops become more accountable to the community make me more than willing to give you the benefit of the doubt--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 14:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

| *Honestly, some of his behaviour in the past has been a bit iffy. But we all have done stuff like it, so its not that big of a deal.I'm willing to put my opinion behind him, but on one condition. Should the community decide that he's no longer fit, he will agree to put him self up for a review of some sort.We don't need another sysops that no one trusts being around, and then we can't get rid of him. So, a compromise. Seems fair enough to me, as we don't have an official channel for review yet.--{{User:Suicidalangel/Sig}} 11:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

| |
| *'''Vouch''' - From what I've seen from many of his edits, he sounds like a decent person. Plus, I've never had any personal problems with him, so why not? If he wants the SysOp position this badly, then let him have it. If he performs poorly, yank him. But if he performs above and beyond the calls of a normal SysOp, then it's a win for the Wiki community.--{{User:Omega360/Sig}} 13:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

| |
| *'''Abstain''' - You've improved, but things like the truckload of drama on [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2008_10|last month's A/VB]] says to me that you're not quite ready yet. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]] <small><sup>'''Big Brother Diary Room: [513,04]'''</sup></small> 13:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Against'''. I have nothing against your contributions to the wiki in general, but I have a real problem with your attitude and the company you keep. Just re-reading the Oct. A/VB page made my mind up. I don't think you are ready yet based on your comment to boxy when he was voting not vandalism on your 1st (of 3) VB cases. ''Wow i'm impressed! Correct! Gotta be the first time in, what, a month? Since you probably didn't mean it i'll let you change your decision and rule based on your personal opinions of users.--J3D 08:40, 24 October 2008 (BST) '' And yes, I am basing this on my "personal opinion of users." While I know we can all be dicks from time to time I would think that someone trying to get a sysop position would be more willing to work with the current sysops.--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 14:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *:Yeah that comment was a pretty bad error in judgment on my part and i recognised that almost immediately after but there was no point removing it as you can't actually delete anything off the wiki, it's always still there. The reason i said that was because the sysops who were on the wiki at the time were blatantly disregarding policy and doing what they wanted. Admittedly they were under pressure from the edit war occurring but the fact that the only active sysop was boxy and that he was making what i felt were the wrong decisions was starting to get to me. In hindsight considering what he walked in on boxy did do a reasonable job cleaning the mess up and sorting everybody out. Anyway yeah, thanks for the feedback.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 23:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Strong Against''' - I have no problem with you but, this bid reeks of an attempt to get promoted through two new and relatively inexperienced 'crats because Grim is gone. I'm pretty sure that if I were 'crat instead of Cheeseman you wouldn't have even considered it, same with boxy, Nubis, or any other sysop you could have been sure would actually force consideration of promotions before promoting willy nilly(yes I find it strange having boxy on that list but it's become a really short list). Much like the last bid you share much in common with Cheeseman, that's not good and I don't want another stint of what it was like right after Cheeseman was promoted, too much work for everyone else. You're a part of the community but not the parts where you'll be forced to monitor; More than that, you've spent a lot of time around A/VB for all the wrong reasons.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 18:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *:[[User_talk:J3D#Sysops|This]] clearly shows i had intent to run before the current crats were chosen, and if that's not early enough well i can tell you without evidence that i have been considering rerunning for awhile now. Of course if grim was a crat i wouldn't run again because i'd know that i wouldn't get it. I wasn't aware that was against the rules. If it was you, Nubis, swiers or any of the other handful of sysops i wouldn't have a problem running. Boxy i would have to consider but i feel boxy can look objectively so if he had got another term then i think i would have gone for it anyway and if he declined well then that's that.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 23:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *:Also, while i certainly don't have a problem with you having an opinion, i find it bizarre that you vouched for hagnat [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/hagnat (3)|here]] when he freely admitted that he was rerunning for sysop ''because'' Grim was gone. That's not even my reason, but if it were i can't see why you'd have problem with this from one user and not another... o.0 --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

| *'''Stongly Against''' - [[Image:VBnonsense.png|100px|right]] It's only a week or two ago that J3D (along with others) was filling up the admin pages with ridiculous edit wars and petty A/VB reports, because they wanted to keep superfluous redirects to their user pages <small>-- [[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 00:34 5 November 2008 (BST)</small>
| |
| *:The only redirects i actually wanted to keep were DDR and AHLG, i merely felt that the community should be allowed to vote on them on A/D. It's a damn good thing i stuck to my guns too because it seems that [[DDR]] and [[AHLG]] will pass [[A/D]]. Of course new votes may change this, but it was certainly worth getting them put up for voting. If i was sysop i would continue to follow established procedure and allow the community to have a say on pages like that because this wiki exists for the people (lame, i know) and if they want a page and it doesn't cause anyone any harm, it should exist, simple as that.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *:::At the moment, all of those redirects have more delete than keep votes on them. They should have all went when on the speedydelete page. And the reason why we shouldn't allow ''anyone'' to have a redirect to their user page in the main namespace, is that when everyone wants them, there will be even more drama, every other week. How many [[Nick]]s and [[Bob]]s and [[Sarah]]s out there who would all want the same redirect to their own userpage? To say nothing about ridiculous redirects like [[A/D#The_Mighty_Republic_of_Lolz|this]] also being created for users. You simply have no interest in keeping the wiki tidy, which is what sysops are supposed to do. In fact you seem to delight in messing with it as much as you can get away with, which is fine for regular users, but I not what I expect from a prospective sysop <small>-- [[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 01:09 5 November 2008 (BST)</small>
| |
| *::::Ah it seems you're right, i must have miscounted. Anyway DDR and AHLG are a tad different to Nick, hell i voted delete on J3D. Anyway we disagree on this, i don't feel that having AHLG exist makes the wiki more messy, i think it makes it more usable. You disagree. As countless edits show i actually have a lot of interest in keeping the wiki tidy, [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Category%3ASuccessful_Promotions_Candidacies&diff=1311956&oldid=1124374 this] for example, i've made countless similar edits in my time here, that's just the one freshest in my head.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 01:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

| *::'''Question''' If you want to "follow established proceedure" why do you have [[A/VB]] cases against you? That seems the be the simplest procedure to follow yet you have a problem with it. Why should anyone believe that you can follow the more complicated and "grey" procedures?--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 00:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
| |
| *:::Like i said, i haven't gotten a warning since july, I've already addressed that. Cases that get declared not vandalism are meaningless. I could make cases against anyone for anything and that person would have a case against them forever, it'd just get declared not vandalism. Of the cases that were brought against me one was me emboldening boxy's ruling (definitely not vandalism), one was undeleting a page that ''should never have been deleted'', the fact that it is infact likely to pass A/D is testament to this and the third case centred around me making a mistake while reverting vandalism. Sorry for that but like i said at the time, my priority was reverting the vandal edits, yes i accidentally reverted more, but that was quickly fixed. Also for me A/D is not a grey area. In fact it's one of the most clear cut areas regarding policy on the wiki.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:58, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

His extremely questionable concept of self-control notwithstanding, the dialogue on this page ''alone'' is a perfect example of why this bid should be refused: the Nerd Patrol bearing down on those who would criticise him so he doesn't have to and his laughably transparent sudden changes of heart (the exchange with Nubis particularly so) should be ringing alarm bells in any bureaucrat's mind. --[[User:Cyberbob240|HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS]] 05:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

| *'''Vouch''' - It took me surprisingly long to think of my decision for J3D, I felt iffy about his issues with past clashes with sysops, but I know that was only because he felt obliged to show he was a decisive thinker. As hagnat, I don't like ALiM but thats irrelevant. The reason I am vouching is because I know for a fact that J3D's intentions are purely for the good of the wiki, and he has always had an active interest and involvement in the Admin sections and I think giving him that greater responsibility could only see him flourish more. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 01:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

| *'''Vouch''' - Exactly the same reasons as last time when he was unfairly denied promotion. Compare J3D's proactive wiki use as a normal user to the number of sysop contributions by hagnat since his powers were restored, that's your answer as to whether he's suited or not. As for the drama, good, do we really want sysops who are going to back down and roll over because of a bit of drama? J3D was involved in drama and not found guilty of vandalism, he was in the right, that's what we need in a sysop team. Also, penance vouch. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 05:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

| Well, after me and Cheese discussed things on IRC we've decided yes. We were rather split on it, but managed to come to a conclusion (this would have been much simpler and easier with a third 'crat by the way). Something to add... I wasn't exactly 100% comfortable with you and [[A/VB]] so it would be preferred if you kept it slow there. Questions anyone?--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 22:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Say what you will but I'll waste my time how I see fit, and instructing a user on how to be a sysop when he's shown no interst in finding it out before he was a sysop is not what I consider a useful or constructive use of my time, quite the opposite in fact.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 00:40, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

| Karek and <s>(to a much lesser extent) Boxy's</s> bitterness isn't needed here, the crats were just trying to be positive, its not their fault they do things differently than you guys. Yes, I know whay Boxy said is right about the veto power. But keep in mind they got into crat with credentials that you guys and Grim don't have, community support. So keep the aggression down low guys :( Sheesh. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 02:20, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

| :I'd just like to say, well done to ALHG and Cheese for making their own decision. Their crat powers, as voted by the community, should not be compromised by the beliefs of users such as Karek and Boxy. I am glad that you did what you thought was right, and did not let yourselves be bullied into a decision you did not want to make.

| :To boxy and Karek, I seem to remember a few of you bagging Jed out for having a "tantrum" when he didn't get promoted on his first bid. Looks like you all just made a fool of yourselves. How 'bout giving him a chance guys?
