{{Closed|{{Member|SpyroSonic2000}} was promoted to bureaucrat on 5 April 2014.|archive= SpyroSonic2000 (Bureaucrat) SpyroSonic2000 (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I have been on the wiki for just over two years now, and in my time here I have been online more than any other user, been promoted to chat moderator, rollback, and then to administrator and have used all of those promotions to the greatest of my ability. I feel that I am ready to become a bureaucrat. As I said earlier, I am online far more than any other user so I'd be able to promote anyone almost as soon as their nomination would be over. {{User:SpyroSonic2000/Signature}} 21:53, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose
VOTING IS NOW CLOSED


 * 1) I'm going to have to oppose both nominations only because, this would complete 5 crats in total, whereas I think other people would deserve this ranking a wee bit more - and if they did as well- there would be too many crats with little significance. I'm sorry if my opinion seems unreasonable. -- 02:40, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) I oppose. I see no valid reason as to why you deserve it or why you even want this rank. If SNN isn't in need for any bureaucrats, then no one's getting bureaucracy. I get that you want it, but do you, and the rest of the SNN need you to be a bureaucrat? I doubt it.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 04:53, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) To be honest, bureaucracy is more than just being able to promote or demote users. It's a symbol of respect, of trust, of recognition. It's a way for the community to congratulate someone for going above and beyond the call of duty and standing out among the other administrators. That's how Wikia sees it, that's how visitors see it, that's how some of us see it. I do believe Spyro is a good administrator, but I don't think such recognition belongs to him yet. My opinion is firm. -- 12:06, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

Discussion

 * frequent user, plus is trustful, but i aint seen enough progress or hardwork --Krazy Company (talk) 02:33, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * @SlugDrones: Both Free and Spyro nominated themselves for bureaucracy because Myself123, on the SNN chat, was saying how he was the only real active bureaucrat, with two others being semi-active and another having limited access here (which he explained in Free's nomination). Most people on the chat room suggested that Free and Spyro should run for bureaucrat since they are both very active users and can be trusted with the promotion. Seeing as how everyone thought they would benefit (and when I say everyone, it was pretty much everyone), they figured they should nominate themselves since they could be good help, and everyone agreed. Sorry, but I just wanted to explain the circumstances surrounding these two sudden nominations.
 * Still, to me, users like Unleashed and Sacor would do a better job as a crat right now. -- 06:45, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * As flattered as I am by that comment, I trust Free and Spyro more with these rights than I trust myself. As MetalMickey said, they tend to be a lot more active here, certainly more than me. 13:59, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I think Sacor is a good choice if we need a crat. He's active and I think his personality is more level-headed and less emotional than other users. Same goes for ShadowUnleashed, who shows alot of maturity and level-headedness.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 05:20, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Quite honestly, you're right, Drones. I think I should reconsider my vote. 13:37, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Something else I think I should point out is that a bureaucrat's job is done by itself. To clarify, all one has to do is observe nominations, wait the appropriate amount of time, asses the consensus' decision, then act accordingly. I doesn't really require any decision making.  Myself  123  01:23, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Myself is correct. You guys are making the role of a bureaucrat seem more than it really is. It's true that when selecting 'crats, we have to be careful who we choose to promote because once they're promoted, only the Staff will be able to demote them if they one day decide to go on a demotion spree (abusing their powers). I don't think we have to worry about that with either candidate. We have trusted them both as admins for some time now - why can't you trust them to close nominations and promote other users according to consensus? That's really all a 'crat does. It's not that special and you don't need to be the maturest user to do it. If you feel that other users should be 'crats too, then great. Talk it up with them and suggest they nominate themselves for the role. No one else is bothering to volunteer, so obviously these two are the only ones who are interested in helping out with the nominations. I see no problem with that. 14:47, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Per Myself and Eycestar. Pacmansonic138 (talk) 18:04, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, for your information, because of Myself's statement, I har changed my vote. 12:11, March 28, 2014 (UTC)

Conclusion

 * Yes - Consensus is clearly in favor of your nomination. Congratulations! You are now a Bureaucrat. This discussion will be removed shortly. 13:46, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
