| *'''Against''' - Terrible. The last time he was trusted with buttons he fucked up so bad that Kevan to come in and fix his mess. The fact that he didn't get permabanned is a joke, and this sysop bid is an even bigger joke, whether intentional or not. If he really "cares about the wiki" so much he can prove it by making positive contributions to the community.

Instead, I'll cite a better reason: I don't vouch for people I don't know. Every other candidate I've vouched for has been someone I've known, and even though we're not all friends, I at least know who they are and what I've come to expect of them. Grim, to me, is an unknown, and I don't vouch for things I don't know. It's a mistake for anyone to put their name on the line for an unknown. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 20:21, 7 July 2010 (BST)

Moreover, he's cool-headed, fair, not afraid to stand up for what he thinks is right, and not afraid to back down when he's wrong. Also, he has extensive wiki experience, not just with the UD wiki but also with other wikis, and as such he can provide an objective outsider's point of view that the sysop team would otherwise lack.

| *'''Vouch''' - Revenant has done more for the actual game than anyone sysop I can see. I think it would be good to have more sysops that actually do stuff that is beneficial for the game community and are actually respected instead of just jacking off on a power trip and wasting bandwidth. --[[User:Rapture|Rapture]] 14:58, 6 July 2010 (BST)

| |
| *'''Against''' - Even if he didn't fail criterion 2 and 3, his knowledge and understanding of this wiki is only as abysmal as his attempts to rectify it with his [[User_talk:Revenant#sorry|wikilawyering]], of which his talent is about on par with that of Poodle. Also, if he's going to behave like [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2010_07&diff=prev&oldid=1736570 shit] [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Misconduct&diff=prev&oldid=1736611 and] [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Promotions&diff=prev&oldid=1736670 piss] every time something goes against him, it's probably best he not have buttons. However, this week's escapade whilst annoying was totally fucking worth it because he managed to bring back Grim. But you can only revive grim once, friend. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 04:50, 7 July 2010 (BST)

| *::That's also another reason I'm against your promotion, you've just hit the number 1 reason on my "why not to vouch" list. As per your comment ''"I've been busy. I now have more time on my hands and am getting to work on some projects I've nto had time for. If elected, I will probably work on as many fixes and reforms as I can, and then drop back to a general "maintenance" level of activity. I do already have pretty much the "Drama Pages" watched and know a lot more about wiki software and this wiki in particular than probably half the currently serving sysops. For what that's worth."'', empty promises of the future with no evidence to assure us you'll go through with them isn't something that flys well on this wiki for obvious reasons; You haven't fulfilled criterion 2 on the sheet above and before you all say "If a user is highly exemplary in one criterion blah blah", no. Not achieving 500 edits in 6 months is poor for a wiki where the last [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Rosslessness (1)|8]] [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Suicidalangel (2)|o]][[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Linkthewindow|r]] [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/DanceDanceRevolution (2)|'''9''']] ([[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/The Rooster (2)|m]][[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Red Hawk One|o]][[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Misanthropy|r]][[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Aichon|e]][[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Yonnua Koponen (3)|e]]) promoted users all were promoted with edits in the thousands during that time frame, we've come to expect a bit more. As it stands, you're around, it's true. But you're barely around, you barely qualify for sysop in a quantitative state and this bid is only the product of a retaliatory drama-filled event which is ridiculously poor form for a "budding sysop", so I don't even know why I'm taking it as seriously as I am, so I guess you've got me there. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 12:18, 7 July 2010 (BST)

| *:::I'd rather spend an hour or three fixing a page properly in a single edit than make 500 tiny edits. Edit whoring is pointless. I could do it, but I'd rather spend my time, y'know, '''making the place better'''. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 12:30, 7 July 2010 (BST)

| |
| *::::This defence has the same effect if you'd called me a troll by this point. Using such an argument is ignorance not because it's plausible as a viewpoint, you're simply trying to scramble for excuses for your noncontribution. You find solace in saying such edits were "spam edits" when they in fact weren't, you are more than happy to look through any of these (maybe not SA's) edits and notice that at leased 95% of them were contributive. Yours on the other hand, well, I think yesterdays fiasco speaks enough words. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 14:01, 7 July 2010 (BST)

| |
| *'''Against''' - I'm failing to find a sufficient activity and perhaps interest in the wiki during the last weeks/months. And no, this is not a matter of making major edits in contrast to lots of minor ones since apart from recent mayor stuff those "fixing a page properly"-edits seem to be rare as well. [[User:G F J|G F J]] 12:42, 7 July 2010 (BST)

| *:To tell the truth, I've not had much time for Urban Dead in general or the wiki specifically for a while until ''very'' recently. Partly because I've been ridiculously busy IRL, and partly because there is so much that needs fixing that I've simply written it off as a Sisyphean task. Left to my own devices, I may or may not have run for psyop eventually, but certainly not so soon. However, I am not one to back down from a challenge (especially one I am fairly prepared for anyway), and if Grim or anyone else thinks so, they are welcome to be proven wrong. Hope that addresses your misgivings. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 13:06, 7 July 2010 (BST)

| *''Question/Statement'' - Despite this week's actions which I disagree with, and the fact that he doesn't quite meet all of the guidelines, I do believe Revenant is a capable and extremely contributive member to the meta-game, including the wiki. While I see him as having quite a bit of disdain for the rules around the wiki, I also see that as a good thing, inasmuch as he can help to challenge them and reform them (and they are ''desperately'' in need of rethinking, so fresh perspectives are welcome). And if he gets too far out of line while doing so, there's always A/M to handle that. So, my question: do you plan to work from within the system to change it, or do you plan to merely use your new authority to circumvent the system to bring about change? {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 20:31, 7 July 2010 (BST)
| |
| *:I believe I have answered this with my response to Yonnua, above. <small>(Work within the system to reform the system.)</small> And I would say that rather than disdain for the rules, ''[[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Ignore_all_rules|per se]]'', I have disdain for people who believe that unwritten rules take precedence over both rational thought and those rules the community has written, examined, voted on, and approved. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 03:57, 8 July 2010 (BST)

| *::'''Vouch''' - This is a sincere and honest vouch, not meant in jest or otherwise, 'crats. While Revenant is by no means perfect (who is?), I do think he would be an asset to the team and would give us some much-needed perspective. We've been reading far too much into the letter of the law recently and really do need to be getting back to the roots that were the basis for those rules, rather than the monstrosities that they've become. I trust that he can bring a viewpoint that is valuable. Rev, if accepted, you definitely need to work a bit on your tact, just so you know. :P {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 04:38, 8 July 2010 (BST)
| |
| *:::Tact? Aich', I hate to tell you this, but '''I have been''': ''normally'' I think too much that I don't say, but I have found that the philosophy of "not giving a fuck" gets much better results and leaves me much less stressed. <tt>;)</tt> {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 04:46, 8 July 2010 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' only because. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 04:04, 8 July 2010 (BST)
| |
| *I don't doubt that if promoted, Rev would be an asset to the team - as others have alluded to, he's ''very'' active in the metagame (which can't really be said for many sysops,) has good skills with computers, and simply ''isn't a dickhead.'' Like Aichon, I agree that a fresh perspective would be good for the wiki, especially if (him/we) finally get around to overhauling the rules. That said, he's never been terribly active here - unlike DDR, I don't think every sysop needs to have several thousand edits before they can be considered for a promotion, but at the same time, a prospective sysop needs to understand the day-to-day workings of the wiki, and a bit of it's history (even if they plan to change them.) ''That said'', I've always suspected Revenant has been lurking around here, but not editing. Oh, and a '''Question''' - do you have any plans at the moment on how your would potentially reform the system? {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 05:07, 8 July 2010 (BST)
