GuildWiki:Requests for adminship/Defiant Elements

Defiant Elements (talk &bull; contribs)
He has been very active on the builds section on the wiki, and handled discussions and many conflicts within the section with a cool hand. With the upcoming shakeup to the builds section I feel that we need someone that is very active that can help oversee the changes that happens to the builds section and not miss anything important. He has gained quite a favorable reputation for himself as a build guru among many guildwiki users and many people trust the decisions he makes. He is always helpful in cleaning up many builds and their talk pages. In addition he asserts himself when needed and enforce the current policies whenever a new user breaks policy. I believe he will make a great admin and will be a valuable asset in helping the transition to a new builds space. --Lania Elderfire 01:26, 19 March 2007 (CDT)


 * I accept the nomination. See also [] for a little reasoning of my own.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)

Support

 * 1) –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 01:40, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 2) Defiant Elements would be a awsome Admin, he is always on and always helping out. -- [[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings" 01:52, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 3) He's always been quick to try and settle some of the many disputes that arise in the builds section, and it's not to hard to find an article on guildwiki that D.E. hasn't helped out on, at least a little bit. A few more buttons and I'm sure he would prove to be a helpful and friendly admin, at the very least. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.>  02:06, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

 * And? 138.217.165.69 01:33, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I think Lania may have just been wondering why you tried to disguise your vote as an Anon. Aside from that though, unlike the vetting system for builds, when you are seriously voting against a person, I think I am entitled to some kind of reason.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * Digused? I'm temp banned for a unknown reason. 138.217.165.69
 * You've been banned for 3 days for being a bad boy in the builds section by Tanaric--Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 01:37, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Really? Didn't know that.  Still though, could I at least get some kind of reason?  Also, does anyone find it a little bit surprising that whichever Admin blocked Solus didn't also block his IP address, it seems kind of useless to block one but not the other.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * It's not that easy to "block" an IP. I was banned for... well a reason was never given, but that is not what this is about. I do not think you will be a good admin for wiki, my opinion is my own, and sorry I'm not convinced that you will make a suitable Admin. 138.217.165.69 01:42, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I wasn't looking for an apology, just a reason. Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * If you can't understand the text (I sure as hell wasn't apoligizing) how do you expect to deal with arguements as a Admin? 138.217.165.69
 * I was responding to your sarcasm: "sorry I'm not convinced that you will make a suitable Admin." Also, please don't insult my intelligence.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * Anyways, there is no need to be so aggressive, I wasn't trying to spark a conflict, just trying to get more information. If people have good reasons why I shouldn't be an Admin, I would at least like to know them.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * You may be entitled to your opinion but its no use having an opinion without a reason behind it, just makes is seem useless! -- [[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings" 01:59, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Well for starters, I posted my comments in your poll. Second, there was no sarcasm in my words, you take everything personally, which is not my intention. 138.217.165.69 02:02, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Whatever, it isn't worth arguing with you. As I see it, whether or not I am actually confirmed will most likely not hinge on one vote especially when the final decision is made by the current admins, not on the votes alone.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * WOW!, see he just ended an arguement, thats what Admins do. -- [[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings" 02:04, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 1) (your vote here)

Neutral

 * 1) Clearly an intellignet person and experienced player. I would rather his talents be applied to improving various sections of the wiki rather than mediating petty conflicts amongst users. However, I won't let my opinions stand in the way of his (and his fan club's!) wishes. - [[Image:Candle.jpg|12px]] Krowman (talk • contribs) 02:08, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Give me a section, I will try to improve it to the best of my ability. And I have a fan club?  Cool.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * This isn't going to get you anywhere if you try and debate every non-favored vote you receive. 138.217.165.69 02:18, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, that was an honest question I posed to Krowman. I wasn't arguing, I would like to know where I could help.  I trust and respect his opinions, and I have no reason to argue with them.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
