General stuffs

• These [[
• My first edit was back in May-ish of '07, so I've been here for a long time.
• Some 5000 or more edits total. History purge makes lieeeeeeees!
• In that time I've helped newbies beyond the WN spamming, helped shape a policy here and there, tried and failed to get my own policy through (Didn't have enough voters total, can you believe it? Made me wanna cry), reverted vandalism, some suggestions maintenance, along with over all maintenance everywhere, including the admin pages when possible for me.
• I've only been warned due to a frivolous case against myself in A/VB, and because of an edit that was out of pure fun with 73 back when there was a large amount of spamming going on in the wiki. Also, the edit in question is the reason I put up the frivolous case.
• My desire to become a Sysops would be simply because I like mops and buckets. Shit needs to be done, always will, it's a job that I can do and like it.
• It seems the biggest reason many of the community was against my last bid was because of my inactivity. I've been active again since early November of '08, and was only inactive from the start because of health issues. I'm here to stay until I start hacking up blood again. :D
• I know the guidelines and policies rather well, and if there's something I'm not sure on, then I'll voice my opinion on it, but not provide anything binding or ruling.

Recent problems with some of the Admin team

• I don't drink anymore, so I'm not going to get smashed and let a friend play on my account ;)
• I will own up to my actions, and not bug out if I screw up.
• I won't be bypassing all that pesky red tape. Even if it is pesky.

Ummmm...Needs moar words?

• I understand that the community changes over time, and will put my self up for review every six months should I be promoted. And should I break that word, I ask another sysops to do it for me, citing this bullet in my bid, thus invalidating any say against said review. If I'm not doing a good enough job, then I shouldn't be a sysops. Simple as that. If I'm not promoted, then disregard this, as I'm a pre-emptive idiot.

Again, let me know what I need to work on. -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 01:42, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

User:Lithedarkangel

Li was always a wiki lover. He is a good guy, has been around for almost a year, and has never been warned. He plays a prominent role in current Wiki Projects.He is a total achiever, and if he was given System Operator abilities, he could really make use of his talents. He tries his best to avoid all wiki drama as well. If you don't know who he is, please abstain, and don't vote against him. That just wouldn't be fair.

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Special:Contributions/Lithedarkangel

If anyone has any questions, I'm sure Li will be able to answer them as soon as he sees this (he stalks the recent changes page.) --Haliman - Talk 00:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Response: I'm honored for the proposal, thanks hal. I accept this nomination. Now with the responses...

Popularity:I agree I'm not that popular on the wiki... maybe because I'm not part of vandalism.

Drama?: About that bit... It's mostly because I do other stuff. Of course that being a Sysop will require with me dealing with that kind of situations and I have no problem with that. Furthermore, I have a great patience when dealing with drama.

Vandalizing: Me?... Nice one... I would never do such a thing... really... if I do.. ban me.

Sysop?: Well, it will help with all the administration I have to wait for. I can help with that work too.

Conflict of interest: Concerning the conflict with my group. I must say I would never attempt to do anything not approved by the rules.

I hope this is enough...If not keep asking.--LithedarkangelMeth!^{The Great Meth Man} 02:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - Obviously :) --Haliman - Talk 00:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - "If you don't know who he is, please abstain, and don't vote against him." I'll do whatever the hell I like, buddy. Sysop candidates should be well-known figures as the public spotlight will always be on them once they're promoted and going from obscurity straight into that kind of environment isn't a good thing. Besides, there's nothing he's doing that requires sysop abilities and functions that do require said abilities aren't difficult in any sense of the word. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 00:43, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch, because agreeing with a troll is badd. (Seriously though, this is an Against, and anyone that perceives it otherwise is stupid) - Needs moar experience and renown. I should be able to come back from a multi-month long break and know who you are within a few weeks.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 00:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Abstain - Firstly, you should contact him first and get him to come here and say he wants to be a sysop, otherwise you won't get much support. Secondly, I think Lithe's work in the last few weeks has been awesome, and being a sysop could allow him to skip pointless bureaucracy and do what he needs to do. The only real problem i have is this thing about avoiding drama, i don't see that as a good trait, a/vb and a/m are natural drama machines and i don't think we need more sysops who are happy to not get involved in those areas. If he comes over and makes a statement i might be inclined to change my view, not that you really want my support anyway, coz we all know what that'll do to boxy's opinion of you.--xoxo 00:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  lol bias. :D -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 00:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  My, someone's feeling a little sore. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 01:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• Abstain - I like Li, I think he's a great guy, but he's just not prominent enough, and he doesn't need op privileges to do what he's doing now. I'm abstaining until I see evidence that sways me one way or another. --Pestolence^(talk) 01:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Provisional Abstain - The user needs to indicate a desire to be a sysop, they havn't on this page and cannot be promoted until they do. Also I'd be wary of the conflict of interest given their group's recent and on going wiki drama. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Re: - To be fair, the UBCS has never vandalized an Umbrella page. --Haliman - Talk 01:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  You'll notice I say conflict of interest and not potential vandalism concerns. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• who? - i guess cyberbob already said it, potential sysops should be users known by the public. I never heard of this guy (or girl), and by the looks of the others votes in here, i am not alone in that. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 01:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  onoze ur agreein wit a troll!11111 --Cyberbob 02:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Potential sysops might want to be known by the other sysops, too. I don't recognize this name at all.--– Nubis ^NWO 02:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• Abstain - As Pestolence. He's a great guy, but doesn't need sysop powers just yet. Iscariot has a point over COI. I'm not saying that you would, but I wouldn't want you voting on A/VB with such a conflict. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Re: - Then... If you think my judgment could be affected I would not take part of that actions until this conflict is over.--LithedarkangelMeth!^{The Great Meth Man} 06:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Really, it was only a small part in abstaining. If you left it another six months, kept up with your current level of activity, and participated in policy discussions more, then I wouldn't have a problem in vouching. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  What Link said. Come back in a few months. --Pestolence^(talk) 01:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

• Against Needs time and visibility. Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 04:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - Needs moar drama, and atleast 1 arbies --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 06:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Re: - I could go messing with your pages... joking... is that really against? -LithedarkangelMeth!^{The Great Meth Man} 06:27, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• Against - Hello all! I return from the dark depths of hell just to vote against this user! No, I kid but seriously I have never heard of this person and I don't see any great contributions of his that are that are sysop worthy.--SirArgo ^Talk 06:51, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - He's a nice guy and I always see him contributing when I check out recent changes. Li has made some requests on A/SD and A/MR from what I can remember, and I think he would be a great janitorial psyop. --ZsL 06:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - As mentioned above.--Thadeous Oakley 07:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  lol bias. :D -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 11:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Hey, its a valid vote.--Thadeous Oakley 15:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  First, promotions aren't a vote. Second, it was a joke. :) -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 20:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Got me there, I always name it voting. Second, I did not mean my words in a harsh way, next time I will put along a corresponding smiley :D.--Thadeous Oakley 20:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• Against Not having heard of you I can't vouch that I trust your judgement... If sysop status just gave you janitorial powers that would not be an issue but as it gives more than that I am going to have to see more of you in areas where i can gauge you better before I will vouch! --Honestmistake 11:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Abstain Lithe is definitely heading towards sysop status, and does indeed do a lot of those dull things that makes sysops so sysopy. However I haven't seen a lot of interaction helping new users, discussing rule changes or even on developing suggestions. Don't take this as a criticism but get out there a bit more! get involved in debates,vote on stuff like deletions and don't feed those trolls. If you're ever stuck for ideas, just leave me a message. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Question - Do you usually watch/read/stalk the A/D, A/SD, A/MR, A/VB etc. Pages? --Janus ^talk 16:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  Re - Not that much... yes... yes... almost every time... I stalk the RC --LithedarkangelMeth!^{The Great Meth Man} 01:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

  Re - Thanks. --Janus ^talk 13:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

• Against: No action in the admin section, as far as I've seen. Liberty 03:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - As above: no action in Admin sections. As annoying and often drama-prone as these sections can be, learning the procedural ropes there is essential to being a good sysop. And part of the job.... --WanYao 04:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - Yer lack of actual meth use is disturbing... Otherwise as above--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 05:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - but a little weak. You're doing a great job with all those Location Pages, but I haven't seen you around the Admin Sections very much. --Janus ^talk 13:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - See Hagnat.--ScouterTX 14:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - As hagnat. By the looks of your contributions, you have a good history, but I'm not sure that it's enough. Maybe sometime else.-- Adward  18:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - as above, don't know them, never seen them, and i don't like voting for any one described as a 'good guy'. i like my rule makers to be anal retentive workaholic assholes just looking for an excuse to ban someone. --Bullgod 12:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

  You can has Iscariot?--xoxo 12:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

  Would be preferred.--Bullgod 16:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - I can vouche that this guy can do a good job with all future wiki affairs. --Met Fan ^F 19:08, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
• against - as bullgod, and the fact that the guy above me misspelled VOUCH. also the lack of marijuana paraphernalia on your user page is disturbing.----Sexualharrison 19:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against - Who? --Papa Moloch 01:44, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
• Against -HE can't even run a simple forum, yet you want to give him power on this wiki? crazy. --Cap'n'cupcake 07:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

• Re - You made almost 10 accounts to keep spamming and flaming our forums. >_> --LithedarkangelMeth!^{The Great Meth Man} 16:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
