 * 1) . Per Solarstrike's comments on your previous attempt, you've shown no evidence as to why you'd be a suitable candidate for moderator, let alone admin. Your behaviour towards other users has been regularly hostile, and there's no evidence saying you won't use this to take out your "rivals". You've also shown no signs of improvement in this behaviour. Until there is clear signs that you've improved, The chances of an application succeeding will be unlikely.

 * And I have never been hostile or broken any rules since I was warned for being rude on Featured Image Nominations on January 15, which is almost two months ago. All i done on RfC and FIN votes is either 'Per "Insertusernamehere"', 'Per above' 'As per above' 'My genuine reason on why I'm voting', or just a vote with no writing. And if I reply to a vote, I either say why I agree to that vote or what's your reason for this vote. Just please reply and give me an RfC or a forum post where I have been hostile.

This is dead in the water. You didn't even wait a full week after being snowballed out of the running. It's unreasonable to expect the voting base to believe oh, well, now in six days or so you're suddenly ready. Quite frankly you need a serious change in approach and/or attitude to be able to achieve advanced rights. --Raidarr (talk) 09:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Ideally, you need to feel as if you are competent in your ability as a moderator before you apply. You managed to do one good thing - which was reporting to the admins when the Parkee incident went down - so this is already a good step in the right direction. Make sure you do more stuff like that in the future as well as contributing to the content of the site itself.
 * Seeing as you say you're just over the age restriction means you've got plenty of time to perfect your abilities before you apply. Use the time wisely. Luke2505 (talk) 22:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok... Sonicfan19198282 (talk) 12:37, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The key here is building a record of positive action. Something you can point to without any single incident being important because they all build you up. I'd also suggest being in contact with more people, such as existing mods/admins and having their feedback directly apply to you so you can work towards the expected standard. --Raidarr (talk) 22:43, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I notice you said " I want to give it a crack and see how I can manage to have this new role" and unfortunately this isn't really the way you wanna be going about things when you're asking for elevated powers on a Wiki such as AVID, even at the lowest level. You need to ensure you know how the site works and are confident in your ability as a moderator before you apply. Luke2505 (talk) 22:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I know how this wiki works and I'm prepared and confident to have the powers. Sickminecraft45 Signature Icon.jpg  (Talk to Me!) 05:06, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅. I have added more info on why I should and want to become an admin, and I hope to get some support votes! Sickminecraft45 Signature Icon.jpg  (Talk to Me!) 05:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Your reason provided to become a moderator is because you wanna be staff so it helps you get the admin hat. I wanna be staff so I can be staff and become higher staff isn't how it works. I would not suggest applying until you get clear reasons that pertain to the responsibility of the role. I do not think you have what it takes to be a moderator because you don't seem to know what it is about. Do not continue to edit to try and say what you think people want to hear: I would instead suggest you retract, figure out the fundamentals and get a stronger background before attempting to enter a staff role. --Raidarr (talk) 22:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * per everyone else.
 * . I warned you that it takes more than just raw numbers to become a moderator/admin. But to testify against you, you have an incredibly toxic attitude towards RfCs you oppose and can be aggressive towards some people (especially towards people you don't like); and I hold a strong feeling you'll take advantage of your new-found powers to take out your "rivals" - in short, going against what the community stands for. You also show an incredible lack of self-awareness of mistakes, and show little desire to change your thinking or your methods - it always has to be pointed out. In short, you need a lot of work in order to come even close to the moderation role. However, I do understand - stressful situations are tough. Perhaps you could find ways to improve yourself? I'm not sure. Either way, I'm still opposing until greater change has been seen from you. Solarstrike (talk) 00:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't recall behaving badly on RfCs but I "accidently" went a bit rude on some of the Featured Images nominees when it first started which I didn't know broke any rules as I was warned for that. Sickminecraft45 Signature Icon.jpg  (Talk to Me!) 17:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm in the middle of the fence here. While you're a good editor and have a decent track record of responding to violators, I think your behavior needs more working, particularly with the occasional use of strong profanity on the site (does censored profanity really count?) and a rather cynical attitude towards violators, including people who are mostly in good faith.

 * Wasn't this quite a ride? As a bit of background, prior to this huge round of drama that started with me and a few other admins being briefly demoted before Agent Isai of Miraheze's stewards stepped in, I was promoted to admin by Miraheze stewards in the absence of the Board of Directors after my Request for Adminship proved successful, this also being in the wake of a growing sockpuppet and other troublesome user problem. I've always wanted to join the admin team of the wiki to help out with these areas, and I have always dreamed of helping this wiki along in becoming a more welcoming and accepting place for editors who'll be able to have a say in the direction that this wiki goes, whether it be rule changes, rebrands, you name it, and not the oligarchic state the BoD brought that imposed rules on this community with no prior public communication with this wiki's community and also effectively attempted to censor any criticism of these decisions. I admittedly may not be proficient in the more techy side of MediaWiki, but I'm still hoping that I'll be able to help pull this wiki out of the state that it's been in under the BoD and help make this community feel safe and welcomed.

 * Way far off the 1000 edit minimum, not to mention you do not edit too much on the wiki. Some of your cynical behavior also gives me doubt, not being the best for either admin or bureaucrat roles. And recently, you just voted on an already closed discussion so that gives serious doubt about your knowledge of the site's rules and what follows in wikis in general. Camenati (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * While you have taken the initiative to create and run the new AVID Discord server and I have noticed that you've become more receptive to criticism in the way the server is run recently, I cannot say you are ready for Bureaucrat at this time. You are currently a Registered User on this Wiki and have not even held an Admin position yet, and as has been said, currently you don't meet the minimum amount of edits. I won't comment on your recent behaviour as you have been taking steps in order to better it, which is a positive on your part. I feel like maybe you can learn the rules of the Wiki inside out and gain the moderation skills by continuing to run the Discord, while doing this you should step up your editing presence on the Wiki. Then perhaps apply for Admin (or Moderator, if it ends up being introduced) instead of trying to jump straight to Bureaucrat. I feel like you could absolutely become a Bureaucrat eventually, but not at the moment. Luke2505 (talk) 09:47, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
