User blog:Wh!te$tar/The recent admin problems

I see a few people are still upset about not becoming admin. So, I'm here to adress the issue with a bit of a rant.

For starters admin positions are filled at the moment. We don't need any admins right now. The votes were several months ago when we realized just how few active admins and beaurocrats we ''actually' had. They weren't chosen out of the blue for no reason. which brings me to my second point:

'Admins are chosen for their positions by a majority votes. Votes open only every once and awhile'

You won't just become admin just by asking "prety plase!111!!! I wnt it sp badly!!!111!". Admins are forst nominated by other members of the community, then a majority vote decides whether or not they're chosen. Although it may seem like popularity plays a big part in it, any member can bring up reason someone should or shouln't be admin. This doesn't mean complaining over and over about someone you simple "don't like" will get them demoted. Doing this just makes you look foolish and immature.

Finally, Don't get upset about not becoming admin

Getting upset about not becoming admin won't help your chances of becoming admin. It makes you look somewhat unqualified, like you can't handle defeat. So just relax and try improving the wiki while you wait. The votes are only one step in becoming an administrator. Most of it has to do with how mature yoo act and how well you get along with everyone. Roleplaying will get you noticed, but unless you do some serious work to help everyone out, you won't look very dignified or qualified for admin.

In conclusion, adminship is a big responsibility. Admins serve the users by protecting us, not the other way around. If you don't make the cut, then it's not the end of the world. Buck up, calm down, and work harder than before to reach your goals.

(A bit of a side note too, I personally find adminship somewhat overrated. Too much work trying to keep everything in order [or what little order we have here] and keeping everyone in line.)
