| Given the recent attack of the 3-headed spam hydra that was [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_05#User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]]/[[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_05#User:Bada Bing|Bada Bing]]/[[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_05#User:Gummy Bear|Gummy Bear]], I'd like to put myself up for nomination.

| | ==Recent Bids== |
|
| |
|
| *'''Against''' - I've always enjoyed watching your edits to the wiki, and I don't think I've ever met a user as positive as you always are, and given time, you could oneday become a sysop. However, at the moment, your edits aren't nearly prominent enough, you don't even pass Criterion 2. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:53, 28 May 2009 (BST)
| | ===[[User:Hagnat]]=== |
| *'''Against''' - Despite taking two attempts at basic editing, you still managed to lodge your own candidacy in the wrong section. Coupled with some of the stuff you come up with in the suggestions system convinces me that you have no clue about this game, let alone the wiki. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:07, 28 May 2009 (BST)
| | *[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Hagnat/2019-08-14 Promotion|Archived as Unsuccessful]]. |
| :*Ah, yes. I was hoping you wouldn't notice that. I was unaware of the particular templates to use, and so 'copied' DDR's request. Unfortunately, I forgot I was editing the Passed section when I submitted. --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 11:51, 28 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::*And then you moved it into the 'Under Community Discussion' section, again wrong, causing me to have to move it. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:51, 29 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| :::*True. Not exactly a good start to this process, huh? --{{User:Blake Firedancer/sig}} 08:38, 29 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Against''' - You do not pass criterion 2. Try again later if you are still interested. - [[User:Whitehouse]] 11:26, 28 May 2009 (BST)

| *::Since when was he angry? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 13:35, 29 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:::He has been angry on occasion, for sure it's rare but i have caught sight of it briefly before. also this promotion bid discussion brings in lulz.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 07:24, 31 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *::::The last time I can recall being angry was at the height of That Edit War. Before that... I think Gold Blade might've pissed me off one or twice with his sheer tenacity in being retarded. I was younger then, however; Honest is far worse when it comes to the brains department (Gold Blade was really more of a self-styled Amazing v2) and the only emotions I've ever felt regarding him have been amusement and pity. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 14:13, 31 May 2009 (BST)

Second, you don't represent all of humanity I'm afraid, its not up to you to decide what's funny and what not. Third, maybe its not meant to be funny/witty in the first place.

| |
| *:::::::If he doesn't represent all of humanity, then stop calling him 'the community', since he and I were the only two users to be deeply involved in your idiotic talk-page fiasco, which you now believe is the reason 'the community' is persecuting you to protect their elitist positions of power, despite the fact neither of us were sysops when it happened, and both of us only participated in it so it could stop. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 18:01, 29 May 2009 (BST)

| | ==Archived Bids== |
| | | ''For earlier promotion bids, see the following:'' |
| Basically I'm deciding to totally backflip on my longstanding position of not wanting to be a sysop again. Why? Well I pretty much feel like this wiki's in for a bit of a rough patch with regards to policy and it's really frustrating having to sit on the sidelines and hope my posts are read by sysops.
| | *[[:Category:{{CURRENTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|This year's promotion bids]] |
| | | *[[:Category:{{LASTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|Last year's promotion bids]] |
| Now because I don't want to base my bid entirely around a temporary (and possibly one that's not going to happen) state of affairs, here's some other totally awesome shit: I pretty much know this joint inside and out, I'm more than capable of separating personal conflicts with my sysop duties and I'm almost always active so that's something too.
| | *[[A/SA|Sysop Archives]] for older bids and related sysop activities |
| | |
| Not much else to say, really (tbh I dunno why I'm bothering to even write this much; not a lot I can say now will change any opinions on either side of the aisle). --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 16:48, 5 June 2009 (BST)

| *#He actually does shit around here, unlike a few ops.

| *#While he may be a bit of a troll, EVERYONE of the ops team is occasionally, not to mention half the community.

He isn't afraid of drama, and doesn't let relationships or images affect his judgment. He knows progress and he knows this wiki. I often feel ashamed of how long it took me to appreciate Bob.

| |
| *:No. Not because I personally don't like you (though I imagine my actual against comment would just be "Retard" or something; I'm lazy like that) but because I don't think you are emotionally stable enough to remain objective when considering particularly charged vandalism/misconduct cases. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:42, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vote changed to AGAINST''' Your amazing change to a polite and semi reasonable individual has actually convinced me that you cannot be trusted to be at all consistent... Skills are not enough for this role and frankly i just do not trust your judgement! --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 00:21, 10 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:I have vouched for Bob in the past and my opinion of his ability to do the job has not changed, he really does know his shit and could do a pretty damn good job in the post if he stopped being so abusive and confrontational. Sadly his attitude to this place has changed greatly since he last stood and I don't think we need a self confirmed career troll in the sysop team and I do not know that he can be trusted not to get bored and keep trolling way beyond what should be acceptable. Lastly, his assertion that he wants the post so that his opinion will have more weight also speaks volumes about his intent, Policy discussions are open to all and are voted on by all... a sysop badge does not give it any real weight--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 17:37, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *::You (should) know as well as anyone who's spent a long time on this wiki that the outcomes of especially grey vandalism cases can determine precedent that fundamentally changes how things operate. I thought I was being clear about referring to those situations rather than policy votes; apparently not. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:42, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:::Completely agree with you about precedent (even though all cases are evaluated on their own merit) and the frustration of not having any real voice on such issues... you do clearly mention Policy rather than A/VB though and, as I am expecting the current cases to end up with attempts at policy changes, it was an obvious inference to make. TBH I am very torn on this one as I know you can do the job but your behavior towards me and a good number of other users makes me wonder if you would so the job as it should be done.--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 17:56, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *::::Oh well. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 17:58, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vouch'''' - He's a bastard, but an honest bastard. I don't always agree with what he says/his attitude, but I can trust him to make the right decision when it matters.--{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 17:52, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' From what I've noticed, he's abusive and nasty. For example, on this page, while registering against someone's nomination, he included the comment, "Retard. Fuck off." That's needless, gross, and shouldn't be encouraged with sysop promotion. --{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 17:53, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:To be fair, he was pretty much correct. And there is no civility policy on this wiki.--{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 17:59, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *::But that's no reason to be uncivil. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 18:35, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Weak Against''' - Your behaviour makes me believe that you don't seem to care anymore, or just fooling around for kicks, neither of which are good. Feel free to prove me otherwise. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 18:35, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:Have you not seen the seriousness with which I've treated the recent drama surrounding Iscariot and the associated misconduct cases? Sure I've had some fun with Honest, but for the most part I've been keeping things cool calm and collected. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 18:39, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *::I don't mind a little tomfoolery, but are you still going to make comments such as "Retard. Fuck off." on people's bids, for example? I gave a weak against because of what I gather from how you acted when you were a sysop (this is a positive), but some of your less than pleasant comments are not exactly constructive. By all means, you don't have to be the goody tooshoo but it would be appreciable if you would cut down on some of those comments. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 18:57, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:::My lazy approach to promotions bids is pretty much born from the attitude that there isn't a lot I could say to influence the outcome either way. This would probably change if I was promoted I guess; it ''is'' an admin page and as a sysop you kind of feel obligated to take it seriously even if it isn't technically a sysop duty. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 19:07, 5 June 2009 (BST) | |
| *::::Mkay, fair enough, I suppose. I'll '''Vouch''' for you. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 17:44, 7 June 2009 (BST)

| |
| *'''Vouch''' -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 19:12, 5 June 2009 (BST)

| |
| *'''Reluctant, yet still strong Against''' - While I think Cyberbob ''could'' make a good sysop if he put effort into it, it's the kind of laziness he mentions in his reply to Thad that forces me to be against the bid. I strongly believe a candidate should be behaving in a way fitting of a sysop (which includes justifying his decisions) '''well before promotion'''. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]<small><sup>¦[[User talk:Midianian|T]]¦[[Developing Suggestions|DS]]¦[[Suggestions|SP]]¦</sup></small> 20:54, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - As Argo. The people who get the super-wiki-powers should be fair, smart and not assholes. Period. Bob knows his shit and I don't doubt that he could be fair if he had to be, but I doubt his motives. I think the word fagtard is funny too, but launching it repeatedly at other wiki users does not a sysop make. Can someone (or maybe Bob himself) tell me what he's done lately that made the wiki a better place? --{{User:Paddy Dignam/sig}} 23:49, 5 June 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:Welp, when did I use the word fagtard? As for stuff I've done that's made the wiki a better place, I'd like to think I've had at least a minor effect on the outcome of Iscariot's case. As for my motives... you should look back in the archives to the last time I was a sysop. I was pretty much exactly the same personality-wise as I am now, yet I always separated my official duties from my personal relationships. This would still hold true. If you meant why I want the job back, my motives ''there'' are that I'm sick of feeling like I'm being ignored on vandalism cases which are especially grey; I know ''why'' we have the users-on-the-talkpage deal but all the same it's kind of obvious that the sysops don't read it. On top of all this I do make an excellent janitor and I enjoy the work (not the power, the ''work''). --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 03:51, 6 June 2009 (BST)

| *'''Against'''. Wont let personal relationships get in the way of good judgment? lol. You have practically shown a complete inability for any sort of reform with anyone who doesn't bow down and lick your arse in order to shy away from your constant harassment. There is no way you will be able to resist doing SOMETHING wrong. Do we want another boxy/nubis/hagnat? Hiding behind the red tape in order to boss the users around and do whatever the fuck they feel like? Remember, the sysops didnt cite personal issues when they took Jed out. He mightnt have deserved to have been there in the first place, but he was there. Also, argues his point with more big words rather than big points. Don't buy Bob a thesaurus for christmas he obviously already has 12, and that maeks hm smart. I am also against gay marriage and guns.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 14:10, 6 June 2009 (BST)
