Forum:Administration Elections

The latest run of administration elections - new policies in effect.

Requirements
In order to qualify for an administration position, you must meet the following requirements as specified for each position:
 * Administrators
 * Must have at least 1000 constructive edits, meaning no spam or vandalism.
 * Must have been active on the wiki for at least 6-8 weeks. For users who make new accounts, time spent on the previous account counts to time on the wiki.
 * If the user has been banned for vandalism, spam, or trolling, they must wait four weeks after the ban is lifted before they are viable for adminship. This time does not count to time spent active on the wiki. The ban does not count if it was unjustified; such distinction is up to the discretion of the current admins.
 * Nominee must know and adhere to the policies of the wiki, and must actively enforce these rules as an admin.
 * The user must be capable of being respectful and civilized to all Users, and must do so.
 * Any admin who is legitimately stripped of his/her rank two or more times will not be allowed to run for administration again.


 * Bureaucracy
 * Must have at least 7000 constructive edits, meaning no spam or vandalism.
 * Must have been active on the wiki for at least 3 months. Time spent on previous accounts does not count.
 * User must have at least 6 weeks of adminship experience.
 * If the user has been justly banned twice, they are immediately exhempt from any bureaucracy nomination.
 * Rules 4 and 5 for Administration Qualification also must be adhered to for Bureaucracy Qualifications.


 * Chat Moderators
 * Must have at least 850 constructive edits, meaning no spam or vandalism.
 * Must have been active at least 6 weeks.
 * Must not have been previously kickbanned from chat (for a time of 12 hours or more) more than twice.
 * Must understand, follow, and enforce all SFW policies while on chat.
 * Must not be biased or make disparaging or demeaning insults towards other Users on chat.
 * The user must be capable of being respectful and civilized to all Users, and must do so.

Process
During nominations, voting is split between administrators (admins and 'crats) and the rest of the User population (including chat mods). During the voting period, admins and Users alike will cast their votes on each nomination, with admins specifically required to vote based on their impartial opinion of the nominee's competency and reliability, while Users vote based on their general opinion of the nominee. A nominee must have the majority vote in favor for both admin and user voting in order to gain a position. Should a nominee have majority vote in User votes but not admin votes or vice-versa, the nomination will not pass. Should there be a tie in one voting section, whether or not the nomination passes will be based on the other voting section.

Nominees are to explain why they believe they should be promoted and why they believe they are qualified. It can be simple and concise, or it can be a full paragraph or two if necessary. But nominees are required to explain why they believe they should be promoted. Should a nominee be nominated by someone other than themselves, it is up to the nominee to explain their reasoning. What position a User is nominated for must be specified as well.

Gamedezyner Admin
Reason: Short, sweet, and to the point; I have done a very large amount of work for this wiki in the short amount of time I've been here. I'm tired of having to go through the admins and jump through hoops to get things done, and I want to be able to help the users with the issues they run into in the future.

For
That's better. Anyway, GD has done more for this wiki than even some of us admins. He deserves a promotion.~Smash The Echidna~  23:39, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * 100% yes, Gd's a fantastic coder and person and he's done more for the site this past Summer than most do in a year. Death's Little PonyDeath s little pony by star sketches-d41ek9u.jpg We Ride! 12:56, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I sometimes question how much you respect due process and policies, but overall you're responsible and reasonable, and you know what you're doing.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round
 * Argh Kagi made my font yellow. At least make it blue!
 * For. Do you know why? Because no other admin can work the templates the same way he can. SB made some of our other templates, so since he left, we've had nobody. I made one, and it wasn't the best... not sure it's even still used. GD's are. Plus, there's the annoying bot, that's taken my task of deleting pages, and does it at three times the speed I ever could. I'd rather have someone of his skill able to fix a problem when it arises himself, rather than be asked to fix it needlessly by an admin.

 * I support him and his work, he deserves to be an admin. Unidentified Life Form  294  23:27, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * He is one of the people who I believe can really help this out. If voting for him helps him help us more, than I will gladly vote for GD. So I hear you don't like ninjas.  We may have a problem.  TheSkullWolf 23:30, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * He does more work than many of the other admins. He shows how much he cares for this wiki day in and day out. He's a genius that can do anything and knows the wiki right off the bat. He listens to policies and everything. I can't think of a reason why not to vote for GD. Minato  Arisato  23:38, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * For! He is perhaps one of the greatest coders I know (Greatest coder on SFW, that's for sure), and that is needed if you want to move forward. So I am looking forward for Gamedezyner being an administrator!
 * He's done so much work, he might as well be the new owner of this place. His determination excels above everybody else's without a doubt! Cheese Graters for everyone!  The Narwhal King commands it!  <font color="Blue">All hail King Jay Jay! 17:38, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

ULF294 (aka Makuta294) Admin
Reason: I have been on here for about 2 years and have over 1000 edits. I became a Chat Moderator last year and since then i have mantain the chat in order, taking care of trolls who come on the chat, and stopping some disputes in a peaceful manner.

For

 * To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. However, I see that a legitimate amount of people have put their trust in them. I think he should be given a chance, then.<font color="#0000FF">~Smash The Echidna~  Smash_life.png 23:39, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * ULF is a nice guy. He has done he job as a chat mod, and he's done it well. Who says he can't do the same for admin? He has my vote. |--<font color="0202FF">The River <font color="FF0605">of Time  <font color="01FF01">is flowing...  07:21, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll vote yes on Mak. I believe he will do a great job as an administrator. I am the master  of all things coding  15:52, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know that Mak can do a great job as an admin. He's already done such a good job as a chat mod. <font color="Grey">Cause I'm a ninja, <font color="Black"> that's why.  12:50, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

OmegaEdge ZX - Admin
Reason: Since I inhabit a different time zone, I only come on at different times to the users here who are American or even British (I.e. when I get up, most people get home. When I get home, most people are in bed.) This means I can take care of the immediate wiki problems, that only one other admin, Flashfire212, can gain access to without staying up, or getting up early. On a smaller note, if I somehow do get nominated, I would be able to hold my chat emote idea without a admin's help, meaning more emotes for every chat user to use.

For

 * I think omega should be an admin, mainly due to his time zone and how well he has done as chat mod. All in all, he would make an awesome admin. Unidentified Life Form  294  07:33, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Mak. Omega would do a good job as an admin. <font color="Grey">Cause I'm a ninja, <font color="Black"> that's why.  14:07, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Omega is best pony. :3 Tell Me Doctor Light, Why did I fight?~♫ 00:22, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. --Shousenka (talk) 00:48, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

TheSkullWolf - Chat Moderater
Reason: Because I take an at-home-virtual-school, I am usually available for just about the entire day, and I normally stay up past midnight. I've been around for more than two months, and I have made over 1000 edits. I do my best to help this wiki out, and I plan to continue to contribute to SFW, whether or not I do become a chat mod.

For

 * He edits all the time, and very nice! I say he should be an admin! MoisKeroro-GoSFA 00:30, September 8, 2012 (UTC)MoisKeroro-GoSFA
 * ^ he has helped cleaned up this place and excellent on the chat. I am for him. Unidentified Life Form  294  05:58, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * He has cleaned up this wiki alot,he has a great attitude,and he understands the rule,so I am for him. You shoot me down,  but I won't fall,   I am the Ultimate TITANIUM
 * I see hime around here all the time, and I think he works hard to keep peace on the chat. I vote for. <font color="Green">Cheese Graters for everyone!  <font color="Purple">The Narwhal King commands it!  <font color="Blue">All hail King Jay Jay! 17:40, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Against

 * No, probably not. I don't see much experience in this one. --Shousenka (talk) 00:49, September 8, 2012 (UTC) ^ Tell Me Doctor Light, Why did I fight?~♫ 23:55, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Frozen Scorpio - Wikia Administrator
Reasons: likes to help out, wishes for a cleaner and friendlier wikia than it currently is now, fills out ALL of the requirements to be admin, only been banned once, has experience with adminship (has helped out in the Great Troll Attack of Summer 2012 on Chill SFW). also likes to plan in advance.

Downsides: On weekdays (unless it's a holiday) cannot work until 3:30 pm Western standard time, casual user, somewhat easily provoked, somewhat of a pessimist.

I'm sorry, but no. My reason being is WHY you were banned. It&#39;s MY party, so I&#39;ll die if I want to. (talk) 03:16, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

I will have to follow suit on this one and also disagree because of the ban and how recently it happened.

 * Why do I know nothing about this ban? Can someone enlighten me?<font color="#0000FF">~Smash The Echidna~  Smash_life.png 15:04, September 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Me, too. I was wondering about that. Sir Flare,   Knight of  <font color="#1560BD">The Flaming Sword  15:08, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * It was for "swearing profusely." Besides, it's been at least a month since then, which makes me eligible for this position.
 * Just because you're "eligible" doesn't change anyone's opinion. And it's only been a month since the ban expired. To get banned for "Swearing Profusely" by anyone, let alone Memphis, means that you would have been warned, or it was so blatant and inappropriate that he felt you deserved the ban immediately. That kind of behavior is not something I would consider material for an admin. -GD
