OK, guys...last time I checked, the nomination does not get moved under Community Discussion until the nominee accepts the bid. I have not accept the bid yet, and have been moving it back to Still Requiring Vouches as the bid has not yet been accepted. I'm not moving it back up a third time now... -_- --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:07, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

| 00002 | Theme | "You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me" by Jer (born Jerrelyn Sarkisian) |
| 09453 | Personal quote | "I may not be the best formating guy, but I'm learning." |
| 00174 | Campaign Cartoon | "The Tom and Jerrel Show" Realistic depiction of Jerrel's constant conflict with the downpressing cats. All the violence in this show is based on actual A/VB and A/A drama. |
| 00001 | The Truth | In 2 weeks from now, it will be April 15. And Jerrel will be a sysop by that date. |
I'm really amazed at the fact that this hasn't been put up any earlier. While there have been very good reasons to criticise Jerrel in the past, he has massively shaped up ever since.
He hasn't done a single bad edit in months - not in five months, not in six months, no, in friggin' seven months! That beats even Ross' track record, who has been put up on A/VB once during that time.
Apart of that, he is a nice guy who actively fights cussing on the wiki.

- What is different this time from the previous times you've asked for promotion?
- I notice on your talk page that you said that you wouldn't run again. What made you change your mind? Asheets 20:04, 1 April 2011 (BST)

It's no longer April fools... so that'll be quite enough of that. The user is unlikely to accept, given their last post was in August -- boxy talk • teh rulz 09:52 2 April 2011 (BST)

The Next Sys-Op Speculation Corner
| “ | I'd rather have a team including historically sporadic editors, rather than just me, vapor and spiderzed. [...] As always I encourage more of you to run for sysop. We need fresh blood. Especially since Grim took all the black pudding away | ” |
There hasn't been a single bid since July, and of the 9 remaining ops, not all look that fresh either. Anyone having any candidates in mind? Some I would know off the top of my head:
- Chief Seagull - Regular bot reporter, knows wiki-code and wiki-procedure.
- DDR - Op of olde, still popping in all the time.
- Mazu - Highly active, has with Project:Very Funny involvement with a bigger wiki project, knows wiki-code.
- Sexualharrison - Wiki vet, regular bot reporter.
- Thad - Greatest Sys-Op Evar. (j/k)

- Also, I don't really see the need for more sysops. The current crew is mostly capable enough, and it's not like your drowning in work with all the little activity. Fresh blood for the sake of fresh blood alone isn't a real issue, and it certainly shouldn't be used as for an excuse for even lower sysops requirements in case that there is no immediate ideal candidate. - Thadeous Oakley Talk 16:02, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- It's less of a current problem, more one I see occurring over the next year. I honestly can't see the next generation coming through. still better than giving it to Amazing and Hagnat to run.--Rosslessness 16:16, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

- I've seen a few other like [User:Shortround|Shortround]] and Gordon who have taken initiative in the past couple of months and who, given time could grow into stellar candidates if they stick around. It's really all about learning policy, which seems daunting at first but isn't too overwhelming once you dive into it. Its really easy to get burned out doing this so if I had a piece of advice for any would-be sysops, its don't get drawn into every single spot of drama you run across. Vandal Banning and Misconduct is really a rather small part of what sysops do but a lot of emphasis seem to be placed there. The wiki is full of holes to be plugged and teh buttons are your thumbs needed to stick in them. ~ 16:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
