| What can be said about a Hyperintelligent man such as DevilAsh. Well, if one were to take a mere 30 seconds to get to know him you will find out that:
| | ==Candidates Being Discussed== |
| *He owns his own apartment in England, which is a pretty monumental task since the world knows that apartments are for renting.
| | <!--- |
| *That he is a honor student in the field of psychology. So this tells me that on top of his ability to make a wiki a better place, he will do so with a flare of slick helpfulness and give our more suicidal members a place to turn when their A/VB and Arbitration cases make them feel hopeless.
| |
| *He has awesome hair, an amazing defined jawline. Some might classify this as arrogance, but arrogance is a flaw, the DevilAsh is perfect.
| |
| *Being English, he enjoys high tea. But he also have a love for coffee, showing how diverse he can be and willingness to accept all choices, no matter how hard.
| |
| *His favorite band is Brand New, and when I learned this, I had no idea who this band was... perhaps because they were brand new. But that wasn't what caught my eye. What caught my eye was his choice of spelling of the word "favorite." His purposeful use of the American spelling of the word gives us great insight into the mind of DevilAsh, telling us that he is accepting of all cultures and beliefs. Certainly this would include those who are into cross dressing.
| |
| *He is a staunch supporter of those afflicted with Seasonal Affective Disorder, a disorder which causes those who are without sunlight to fall into a deep depression, and has a campaign to end the embarrassment they face because of their anacroym.
| |
| *He does not own an MP3 player, which in today's society says a lot that he's got higher priorities even though he really, really wants one, he uses his resources and wealth to help those who are less fortunate than him (the irish).
| |
| *He also thinks glassjaw are an awesome band. He singles this band out specifically because he supports their humanitarian efforts providing hair nets to the less fortunate people of Latin America.
| |
| *He is also completely, utterly mad! Mad the direction the world is taking in regards to febris e causa ignota, otherwise know is the Fever of Unknown Origin. His dedication to finding a cure for this disorder which afflicts literally hundreds of people around the globe. To this day, the United Nations continues to ignore his calls and letters about this blight upon the world's citizens. Imagine the catastrophic events that would occur if this went viral.
| |
| Needless to say, this is just a sampling of all the qualities that DevilAsh possesses showing his true character which he might be too humble to state for himself, it doesn't take a rocket scientist (a profession he sought out before he was inspired to help others) to figure out after spending any time with this wonderful human being. Sure, he doesn't have the "guideline recommended" number of edits, but really, we all know the guidelines aren't written in stone, otherwise they would say "must" not "should." Sometimes its good to be understated. I would much rather have someone take their time and make thoughtful edits, rather than bombard the system with unnecessary changes and useless rhetoric to bump their status like some recent members of the sysop team.
| |
| DevilAsh's sense of justice is blind. That is why he was named chief biscuit of RedRum. He has the ability to make non-discriminatory decisions for the good of the group, and that can apply here.
| |
| He is also a friend to the bearded and the undead, and I have been told by Suburban Ed when asked to describe DevilAsh:
| |
| {{quote|2=<&Suburban_Ed> Great kisser|3=[[User:Suburban_Ed|Suburban Ed]] from IRC}}
| |
| That is quite an endorsement.
| |
| DevilAsh is your friend. DevilAsh will take you to the next level. DevilAsh will make you better. DevilAsh will make you less oily.
| |
| And that is why, I, Godfather Anime Sucks, endorse this bid and invite you all to share a story or a moment in your support for DevilAsh for sysop, because he kicks Ash! --{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 21:48, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

| *'''For''' - I am proud to be the first person for vouch for you, DevilAsh. You truly inspired me to put my grudge on hold and donate to the red cross to help out the relief in Japan.

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)
