I find this process very disturbing. The first disturbing point that I see is here: "votes from those not active on this wiki will be discounted." What qualifies as active? This is also disturbing: "I will have a veto on any candidates." If this wiki is to be properly run by a community, this type of dictator-esque quality should not be in place. At least provide in which circumstances you will veto candidates and what qualifies as "active".

Also, Oscuritaforze, Oni Dark Link's revisions are almost solely vandalism reversions. He does not need adminship for that; rollback will suffice in this case. TheUltraman is an admin on a wiki with 14 pages, a wiki with 50 pages, and a Fanon wiki. That is hardly real experience if you ask me.

Teh Player - 00:13, August 30, 2013

I agree with the above. I'm pretty new here, and I'd like a say in what's going on as well.

After reading through all the talk about this Wikia's revival beforehand as an anonymous onlooker, I can pretty much agree with the the above said, if it's quite alright. I have some experience with how Wikia's work, so, I hope to have so some say, too.

Pudding and Yogurt — Considering what state the wiki has been in, I'm not so sure that rollback would be sufficient, as rollbackers don't have blocking rights (necessary for persistent vandals like the ones this wiki has had recently).

Regarding TheUltraman and the three other wikis: I wasn't necessarily as concerned about experience as I was with the potential for interwiki cooperation, especially with the fanon wiki (I definitely should have worded that better...). This was a minor concern though, hence why it was just an aside.

Eh, what? I can assure you that I am not here to vandalize. Do you have proof of this?

TheSMASHFan 02:49, August 30, 2013

In my opinion, TheUltraman has not shown the leadership and dispute handling skills required to be a sysop and I do not support his adminship unless he can demonstrate those qualities. In addition, admins should not be accusing people of sockpuppetry unless there is strong proof supporting this.

I will say I was wrong for saying that 100% that Teh Player was a sock as him, Pudding and Yogurt, and WaynesWorld7 being socks of trolls was just my theory because of the strange usernames they have and the strange usernames of past troll accounts, limited edits, no icons, all really agreeing with each other, etc. I have removed that post due to my lack of facts at this moment.

Also I have proven my leadership by getting trolls blocked, getting in contact with some wiki staff over at Community Central to help with some of the problems, starting a fourm about the new name, not taking any sides in the battle of Old Members VS New Members (I've agreed with some of the old community on somethings like names, ideas, etc and disliked some of the other ideas they had), updating the main page, helping someone out on fourms about how to read the rules, trying to get other people I believe to be fit for the jobs of admin, bureaucrat, and rollback to some of the Wiki Staff's attention, and more along with fixing up the wiki by marking pages vandalised for deletion, marking vandal's pages for deletion, correcting red links, making redirects, adding new info about the games, starting fourms to get people talking about the pages, etc. I've not been in many fights on this wiki (so I really can't dispute anything) and the only fights that I have seen have already been cleared or are being fought against by Sannse. I couldn't really do much anyway as I have no power to give anyone fighting a warning, block them, etc.

Anyway I just felt I needed to prove and tell about what I've done for this wiki and just to prove some of you're points wrong SmashFan.

Mr. Anon - 16:45, August 30, 2013

Because Sannse has not replied to my recent inquiry about wiki policy, I would just like to point out SW:YAV, which holds that posts should be judged by their content, not the user. For this reason, Teh Player, Pudding, and the rest may or may not be sockpuppets, but that doesn't invalidate their input. Of course, the new community is absolutely free to change this policy, but for now I think it's worth pointing it out.

TheUltraman - 17:23, August 30, 2013

Alright thanks for pointing that out and I am fine with their input it's just simlaritys popped up that I noticed and that might not be true.
