| Proficient, prolific, and probably not secretly a rapist. You knows he knows what he's doing, and I'd like to see him given the keys that he's suited for (acception willing of course). {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 23:29, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

| Misanthropy asked a few months ago if I wanted a promotion to sop status. At that time I told him I didn't think I was ready. Honestly I wasn't. I toyed with the idea, tried to decide if it was something I really wanted to do. I delved into wiki policy, admin pages, open discussion and tried to improve my overall contributions to the community.

|
| He asked again today if I was ready. The truthful answer: not completely. But if anyone waited until they were completely ready for something, they would likely not do anything new. So I told Misanthropy that I would accept. And I hope that you the community will do the same.

| You can expect that I will continue to contribute more or less the same as I have throughout my time here so far. In addition, I will take on other admin tasks. You can also expect that I will weigh in on issues more often, staying fair and just in my decisions.

| I know that I am a newcomer in the eyes of many. I hope that you can see past my short tenure on the wiki and let me show you that I can overcome that fault (if it can be called that). Please feel free to ask questions and I'll answer honestly. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 00:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

| | *[[A/SA|Sysop Archives]] for older bids and related sysop activities |
| *:'''Re:''' - I've spent the last several months reviewing policy. Getting to know the wiki, the users, and the sysop team. As far as personal qualification, I'm a Database admin for the company I work for, so at least my boss thinks I can be trusted not to fuck stuff up. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 00:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *::I've looked at your admin page contributions, and, in all honesty, I think you should wait a bit longer. Just last month you mistakenly ruled on VB cases despite the fact that you're a normal user, and today you accidentally WNed a vandal. I think you need a little more time to grow before you have a sysop position, particularly in the drama areas where you have little experience.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 08:52, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Q''' - If you do obtain the status of SysOps, what do you see yourself doing that will/will not benefit the community? --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 23:50, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:'''Re:''' - I think Admin pages could be cycled more often. It's a rather gnomish job but I'm kind of into that. I'll also weigh in more on issues affecting policy. I will definitely express my opinions more often. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 00:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *::But (as you have probably seen me do for the past few months) you can cycle the Admin pages without the need for a promotion of SysOps. Also, you can already voice your opinions without the need for SysOps powers. So why do you need SysOps powers if what all you're going to do can already be done as a regular user? --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 00:19, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:::I won't be just cycling admin pages, that was just one thing that came to mind since it had been brought up when I first considered the position. I'll take on all the regular tasks of admin. There are fewer now and I know you guys could use the help. I'm not planning on re-inventing the wheel, just be more helpful and weigh in more on issues. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 00:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - Vapor might be relatively new, but I see him actively gnomeing, performing janitorial tasks and voicing his opinion on the recent policy discussions. I think he'd do a decent enough job as a sysop to grant him the chance to try his hands at it. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 00:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - I'm tempted to say "Who?" just to bug him, but I won't. Vapor, honestly, reminds me a lot of myself in terms of how I see him sysopping around here. He's technically competent, seems rational, is learning quickly, and has slowly been expanding the areas that he's helping with. He may be new, but I have little doubt that he'd be a good fit for the team. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - Model user and will probably be a model sysop. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 03:43, 6 January 2011 (UTC) | |
| *'''Vouch''' - I have no reason to doubt his 'sopping credentials. {{User:Chief Seagull/Sig}} 09:06, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Weak Against''' - He's a great janitor, but I see very little in the more dramatic sections. Yes, it's the age-old argument of needing moar drama, one that has been said countless times I know. The fact that you tried to rule on an A/VB case as a regular user doesn't help this. I would advise holding back from rulings, and follow the more experienced sysops leads, until you're experienced enough to handle yourself in said drama sections. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|12px]]</span> [[User_Talk:MisterGame|<span style= "color: black; background-color: white">'''''Talk''''']]</span> 09:25, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:'''Re:''' - That indecent was rather embarrassing but I'm honestly glad it happened. Otherwise I may have gone on thinking A/VB was open to voting by the public. IMO, it isn't 100% clear that public voting is not allowed. It certainly isn't in the [[UDWiki:Vandalism|vandalism policy]]. The only clue that its disallowed is in the form of an [[Template:VandalBanningNotice|the vandal banning notices]] on the page (or possibly in some buried policy discussion which I haven't found yet). I admit, I should have read the page more thoroughly, though. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 20:51, 6 January 2011 (UTC) | |
| *'''Vouch''' - tbh, I used to think that Vapor was already a sysop... You never looked like a new user to me. --{{User:Thanatologist/Sig}} 12:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *Very, very '''reluctant against'''. He's very good at the gnome tasks (that should be the bulk of a prospective sysop's edits,) but he's made a few blunders, and doesn't seem to have a complete and total understanding of the rules ''yet'', something which only really comes with time. If he's back in a couple of months, I'll happily vouch for him. Moar dramas would be nice too (but by no means necessary,) especially since as the wiki's population of sysops shrinks, sysops will have to be relied on to do everything. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 13:35, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

| *'''Question''' What area of the wiki do you feel you can contribute to the most? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *:'''Re:''' - This came on somewhat suddenly so I haven't formulated ''exactly'' where I will contribute the most. The general idea is that I would speak with the current sysop team and find out where help is most needed. I would likely pick a few admin tasks which I would perform consistently and timely. Once I had my sysop feet beneath me I would likely find a ''reasonable'' project where I could use the tools given to me (reasonable in that it would be to the benefit to the wiki I would gather feedback before starting). {{User:Vapor/sig}} 20:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - I hadn't really seen much of Red Hawk, Yon or Mis when I vouched for them and they all turned out fine. From what I can see Vapor seems more level headed than the last two guys, kinda like Aichon. I just hope the wiki doesn't grind his soul into powder along the way. =) --{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 14:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

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
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)
