Smashpedia:Requests for adminship

This is the page for requesting adminship for SmashWiki.

Rules & Regulations

 * Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
 * After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
 * Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to do better editing.
 * Candidates should describe why the wiki should want them to be sysops, not why they want to be sysops on the wiki.
 * When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should/should not become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose.  Also, support comments that reference only edit count carry almost no weight in the selection process.
 * Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. However, users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be refused and directed towards the appropriate request.
 * Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how s/he would handle it.
 * If a user has been blocked for any reason (except an IP auto-block or a wrong button click), s/he must wait a period of at least four months from the expiry of his/her ban until s/he may even be considered for adminship. Even after this time period has passed, the user should be prepared to answer questions about his/her block.
 * For users that have had previous unsuccessful RfAs and are planning to open a new one, consider the reasons that the previous nominations failed. Has anything changed about you that would make a new nomination successful?

Past nominations

 * For a list of all previous requests for adminship, please see this category.
 * For a list of all previous requests for adminship that ended with the candidate's promotion, please see this category.
 * For a list of all previous requests for adminship wherein the candidate was not promoted, please see this category.
