GuildWiki:Requests for adminship/Auron of Neon (2)

Auron of Neon (talk &bull; contribs)
Auron pulls no punches. This is a good thing. He is helpful to those who ask for help and blunt to those who break policy or demonstrate foolishness. While this isn't always the best attitude for an editor in general, my experience has judged it to be quite useful to a team of sysops. We have enough nice guys like Xasxas256 and Gem on the sysop team already. Auron actually reminds me quite a bit of User:Karlos before he became a sysop -- except without the whole "the man is keeping us down!" complex. ;)

'''Note that, because I am a bureaucrat, by nominating this user for adminship via this process I willfully give up my right to appoint him. If Auron does get appointed as a sysop, LordBiro will have to be the one to do it.''' &mdash;Tanaric 13:06, 28 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Support

 * 1) Support. --Dirigible 13:31, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Oppose

 * 1) "blunt to those who break policy or demonstrate foolishness". The policy part is fine, though diplomacy is always helpful in positions of authority. The real problem comes with the second part. Who is the judge of what is or not foolish? Auron himself? That doesn't work. Ps: and about the whole mess that came out of the previous request for adminship for Auron, the end result is a box with "censored" twice. It isn't really that he accepted what was discussed, but rather he was "forced" to do something, "under protest", and he is making that pretty clear. Not the reaction I'd expect to see from a mature person nominated for adminship. NightAngel 13:10, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
