''There are no candidates at this time.''


Pending his approval (which he better give {{Grr}}), I'd like to submit DDR for re-promotion. He's pretty much sysop-ing as much as he can already anyway, and I feel he would learn quickly and adapt to the change well. Or he'd already know everything cause he's got a lot of experience and should really come back. Take your pick, I guess. Anyway, This is both a nomination and a vouch, since I feel the sysop team could always do with extra hands, and DDR tends to make those hands into little tiny Aussie fists which is good. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 19:49, 31 May 2010 (BST)

''There are no candidates at this time.''


I'd liek to put my two cents in as well. DDR has been proven to be absolutely untrustworthy and decieving by stating that he would retire and even leave this wiki! Instead he continues to help out the other sysops, and continues to be a contributive member to this wiki! On a more serious note, it seems to me that DDR never had to demote himself as he still edits here almost daily. It's all good though, as DDR is pretty forward when it comes to sysopship, where Yonnua, Aichon and Ross are rather passive (not that it's bad or something). Downsides? You're not as patient as the guys mentioned above and you can be quite harsh against people you disagree with which has lead to conflict more then once (speaking from experience). I think your also pretty stubborn in your viewpoints. I remember instances where discussion,with for example SA, went on for long. Long story short, you're capable and personality wise an unique asset to the team but you can get "lost" in your directive and forward approach to things. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 20:24, 31 May 2010 (BST)

:This is all in my humble opinion though. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 20:25, 31 May 2010 (BST)


Alright. I'll be brief since I have a date with an angry and assignment-expecting university so I'm going to whip through this rather than do it 24 hours later.

*[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Hagnat/2019-08-14 Promotion|Archived as Unsuccessful]].


I'm going to accept this nomination, not because I specifically want it as much as I see that I think it's for the best given my current status in the wiki. I'll reiterate that in a way that doesn't make me sound like an overzealous preacher; As it stands, I'm behaving like I were an op and I'm arguing and aiding ops and users as if I have a certain authority anyway and I obviously think, in retrospect, demoting was a bad idea because I certainly didn't change my pattern of activity nearly as much as I thought it would. A return to being an op would also annoy less people because, rather than bleat endlessly to the ops to, say, vote the way I think they should, I may be able to, for example, vote in a case and base my argument from there rather than run around like a headless chicken spouting globules of angry bloody text and precedents. I think behaving the way I have been in the past few months have been in a way disprespectful to the ops and the community and I'd like for that to change by actually taking up the authority, image, and accountability of an op rather than just behave like one in spirit. I think this is the more responsible thing to do.
===[[User:DanceDanceRevolution]]===
 
*[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/DanceDanceRevolution/2018-07-30 Promotion|Archived as Successful]].
A quick promise on my activity. Looking through my activity demonstrates a change than with my past time as an op; I've done less gnoming maintenance work and been engaged more in drama. This is simply because no authority or responsibility is holding me to the latter and if I became an op I would most certainly exhibit a more committed approach to balancing out my edits between drama and maintenance. I know promises don't fly too well on udwiki, most of all A/PM but I haven't had any activity problems in the past year and a half so I think it's fair to say I'm as good as my word.
 
So, I happily accept, and I'll be back to answer questions and address issues in 24 hours, perhaps sooner. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 01:37, 1 June 2010 (BST)
 
*'''Vouch''' - I stated my opinion above. He's not perfect, but he's a good force on this wiki. Oh yeah, how old are you?

*'''Vouch''' - He has itched too many times recently to hit admin buttons, aaand, he has definitively proven that he knows what he does when it comes down to them. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 20:46, 31 May 2010 (BST)
*'''Abstain''' - He didn't come to my party.{{User:Lelouch/sig}} 20:54, 31 May 2010 (BST)
*'''Strong Vouch''' - As a new sysop, DDR has acted like a mentor and advisor to me already, and he should definitely have his buttony-powers restored. He may be forward, but we need forward people on the wiki to be good leaders. I have absolutely no doubts that DDR is capable of leading in such a way.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 21:49, 31 May 2010 (BST)

*'''Against''' We've had our disagreements but this isn't about those. Put simply, I think DDR does better work when he is not a Sysop. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 09:49, 1 June 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - DDR just quit like ten minutes ago.  If he was genuinely tired of being a 'sop then, and I trusted his judgment in stepping down, then I have to question his judgment now.  Status isn't a reason.  Stamping your opinions with the "official seal" isn't a reason.  Try being a regular user for a while and come back in a few months if you're still hungry for buttons.--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 15:47, 1 June 2010 (BST)

*'''Question''' You know that if you wanted to leave we could of banned you for a while? Break the cycle? Why do we need you back? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 22:58, 2 June 2010 (BST)
*:I've served self bans before, I know the process, the major difference is that I demoted not because I wanted to leave the wiki, it was so I could take a step back and start seeing the wiki as a hobby and less like a job. This way I could do say 60% of my old work rate and be a fraction stressed as doing 100% would make me. As a sysop I refused myself the luxury of escaping the latter because I didn't know how it would affect the way I treated the place. Now I know that happily taking the step back when it's needed doesn't hurt, I feel I can trust myself to do so as an op.
*:Why do you need me back? I'm not sure you do, and as a group the op team is the most proactive I've seen since I've been here, but the way it stands at the moment I feel like I could still do the job and that adding myself to the team would help out everyone. Plus, it'd stop me going on my "you sysops aren't doing your job here is [[Example page|this]] and [[Example page|this]] precedent you are all dumheads" speeches, which I think is best for everyone, it won't take too long before everyone gets sick of them, if not already. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 05:10, 3 June 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - Good at the job. Not a wanker. Wears a kilt. Well, two out of three ain't bad. --[[User:The Hierophant|Papa Moloch]] 01:26, 3 June 2010 (BST)

*'''Against''' - DDR is a faggot. Not just any faggot, but a faggot that can't quit being one. He thought his life was sooooo tough that he had to quit and wants to come back to prove people like him. The sysop team is already as gay as Full House, it doesn't need another fucking Olsen Twin. Instead of adding the same types of people the entire team should be wiped. And now I will explain why DDR should contract AIDS and die: 1. He's a buttbuddy. 2. He has no opinions of his own. 3. Has no common sense. 4. Pulls fucking stunts like this. 5. Contradicts himself. 6. Thinks he's cool. 7. Enjoys jokes that your mom receives in chain emails. 8. Thinks of himself as "lol random lol". 9. Was actually a back alley abortion survivor. 10. Is a crackbaby but without the crack to make him die early. 11. Is as gay as Ricky Martin. 12. Will most likely make a shitty comeback saying I'm "QQing" or miss the "old days". 13. Is mentally deficient. 14. Responds to gay comments that are borderline flirting with gay comments that are borderline flirting. 15. The previous reason means he's gay. 16. Considers the sysop team that bullies people who disagree with them "proactive". 17. Refuses to believe there is anything wrong with the current sysop team. 18. Supports Gorribus as sysop even though he's a faggot. 19. Is racist against Hispanics. 20. Likes having power. 21. Unwarranted Self-Importance. 22. Is about as trustworthy as a cokehead with cocks and cocaine in the room (he'll instinctively suck as much cocks as possible to get to the cocaine even though his morals tell him its a bad idea). 22. That despite my warning he'll still have buttbuddy faggots support him. 23. Probably sucks off other members of this wiki in Australia to like him. 24. Thinks people that disagree with him are trolling. 25. He should suck-start a shotgun. 26. Should seriously commit suicide and do the world a favor. 27. Will comment about how long it took me to write this. 28. Won't know how long it actually took but will comment nonetheless. 29. Will encourage me getting vandal banned for spamming. 30. Get this comment moved to the talk page. 31. Won't understand why he's so disliked but instinctively blame it on people being jealous of something he doesn't even know. 32. Doesn't understand basic logic. 33. Would probably have sex with another male member of this wiki. 34. Cannot stay away from the wiki even if he tried. 35. Can't answer this question: "If you become a sysop again what will prevent you from joining the current oligarchy of sysops again and continuing the cycle of e-corruption that only 16 yr olds are guilty of?" --[[User:Saromu|Sonny Corleone]] <sup>[[DORIS]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4 I jizzed in my pants]  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91a8pHj7V9k pr0n]</sup> 09:27, 6 June 2010 (BST)

This page is for users to request System Operator status. The act of user promotion is restricted to those with bureaucrat status, and as such users will need to request user promotion here. System Operators and Bureaucrats cannot assign promotions unless the request has gone through this page.

Guidelines for System Operator Requests

Users who wish to request System Operator status (and users who wish to nominate other users for System Operator status) should note that before they can be considered the following guidelines should be met by the candidate:

  • Significant time within the community.
We define this as at least 6 months since the candidate's first edit.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Significant activity within the community.
We define this as at least 250 edits in the past six months under the candidate's name.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Prior interest in maintaining the community.
We define this as clear evidence that the candidate is already performing maintenance tasks and taking leadership roles on the wiki.
  • Desire to become a System Operator.
We define this simply as indicating in the candidate's request their desire for the position (Note that if a person is nominated by another user, the candidate in question should note their acceptance of the nomination).

If a user is highly exemplary in one criterion, a certain amount of leeway may be given with the other criteria.

Once the candidate satisfies these guidelines, the user is then subject to a community discussion. All users are asked to comment on the candidate in question, ask questions of the candidate, and discuss the candidate's suitability for becoming a System Operator. This is not a vote. It is instead merely a request for comments from the wiki community. This will continue for two weeks to allow all users an opportunity to voice their opinion regarding a candidate's qualifications for promotion. After two weeks, the Bureaucrats are responsible for announcing their decision within a reasonably short period of time. Users may continue to add their thoughts until the Bureaucrats announce their decision. The current amount of System Operators running should not influence your decisions when voicing your opinion.

Once the two weeks are up, the Bureaucrats will review the community discussion and make a decision based upon it. The user will be notified of the status of their request, and will be promoted should it appear that the community is willing to accept them as a System Operator.

Example Application

Example User

I've been around 3 months, and I've made to date 550 edits. As you can see [link here] and [link here], I've been in the leadership role attempting to create a new format for this page. I'd very much like to become a System Operator.

  • Vouch - I am willing to vouch for this user. -- Voucher 03:41, 23 Jan 2006 (GMT)
  • Against - Example User, I haven't seen any evidence of your work on the wiki. --Some user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Vouch - Example User is the most active guy here. --Another user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Abstain - I'm just not sure, but I don't want to say why for some reason. --Some other user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Question - I just want to know what you think about this subject? --Yet another user 21:26, 4 April 2013 (BST)
