Board Thread:Requests for User Rights/@comment-33574414-20170701162242

I know this might be a little awkward due to the fact that we have a short amount of content mods right now, but I have an intention of becoming an administrator since few weeks ago. Plus, I know some of you might think that I don't deserve this rights for the reason above and the current amount of admins we have now.

As an additional note, I have been a content mod for 9 months ever since the support of a nomination thread created by.

And here's the list of the past threads I've run for the rights I had.
 * My Rollback run.
 * My Discussion Moderator run.
 * My Reboot Request for both Rollback and Discussion Moderator rights.
 * My first Content Moderator run.
 * Nomination run created by Ballistic Planet for the Content Moderator rights.

Requirements

 * You must have at least 1000 mainspace edits (Peacekeeper badge II).
 * I have 7353 mainspace edits which I had achieved the "Peacekeeper XIV" (7000 edits on articles) badge two weeks ago.
 * You must have been on the wiki for at least five months
 * I have been on the wiki for a year and 2 months, while not a ton over 5 months, is still a notable amount of time. Plus, I had achieved the "No More Brains for the Zombies" badge on my first Wiki-versary day, which is on April 7, 2017. You can find out that I created a blog for both of the celebrations I achieved.
 * You must have not been blocked or banned from the chat more than three days for the past year.
 * Nope. I'm ain't been blocked or banned once ever since I join this wiki.
 * More than 75% of votes must be supportive.
 * Well, it's up to you guys whether if you support or oppose me with a valid or reasonable reason. I won't make an argument here.

Why I want this rights?
While I don't want to elaborate without stating my reason properly, the reason why I want to run the administrator rights is because, as you know, most of the administrators are from the west of the world, hinting that it might be hard for you to spot an admin (not totally zero, maybe just one or two at most) in a certain time. I don't really implicate that it is a huge problem, but it might be a little difficult for users to find an admin to inform them that they spotted a rulebreaker or vandal that tries to cause chaos to the wiki. Well, it is actually important for admins to be around on the wiki, which prevents the wiki from facing those bad situations that has the capability of dropping the wiki's reputation.

Another thing I'm facing a problem with is that some of the administrators are rather difficult to be contact with and aren’t active enough. I’m not saying that all of the administrators should be super active and aware like a robot or a cyborg, but I’m just saying that they should be at least active enough to help out the wiki. I can understand if one is facing a worst case scenario like they can’t access the internet anymore or aren't allowed to check the wiki after one's parents' confiscated their device (I'm not being pessimistic here), but an admin at least needs to inform the wiki if that administrator expected that latter to happen soon (not being pessimistic again) because the administrator rights actually serves a high significance on this wiki.

Let's just say that I’m a person that has a spare time on the weekends since I actually do not have a lot in life to do, aside from studying, revising, etc. on the weekdays. As a noticeable matter, I think I'm pretty mature here since I have behaved well on the wiki and have the capability of knowing things between jokes and serious matters. The wiki means a lot to me growing up and sometimes, I may end up forgetting due to my own ignorance and my selfishness as well. I also want to run for the administrator rights to repay the favor to the wiki because without a talented admin on this wiki, the wiki may face a huge changes.

Pros
I'm quite active in mainspace, and I usually try to help to edit with the recent changes page, or simply add needed pictures to them. I know this advantage is a bit out from the administrator rights, but I don't want to retain myself as a mod who always does mainspace everyday.

I have made sure to be as active as possible, and get in at least ten edits per day if I can. Sometimes I can't, but you can't exactly win them all even though you if you are super active. I'm not trying to explain more about this, but as you know, staffs do really need to be active on the wiki whether if they have done well on the wiki, determining if that staff really deserve that rights or not.

Plus, I have keep an eye on various things such as the activity page and the recent changes page to check if there's any negative actions done by users. I don't really like to show off, but that's vital for staffs with administrator rights, since they need to ban or warn vandals or rulebreakers if the case happens.

Even if I’m not another one of those discussion moderators who play forum games, roleplay, and other fun stuffs, I can see that happen a lot. When it comes to the important threads, I can vote on threads that I can gather a real opinion on, but only if the thread isn't too complicated. I know that I didn't execute my job very well as a discussion mod aside from closing threads, stating the results, etc., but I really can't decide on what should I do with the discussion moderator rights I have, since I had retain it once during when I was interested very much on mainspace last year.

Cons
Sometimes when I'm editing a CSS or coding page, I may end up missing something or causing the page to be messed up, and thus I have to edit the page again to fix the mistake I made. I know this might be humilating, but at least we should explain most of our cons so that users can really know on what can you do to solve or reduce your problem on that cons you faced.

Aside from doing minor mistakes that I try to avoid, there’s school. I know this is one of the main factors that causes us to face procrastination or stress in life due to the fact you need to study well for your future, which is mainly our parents' intention for us in our life. As I’ve said before, I can access the wiki every weekdays typically normal for everyone, but school can strain me pretty bad when school gives you lots of homeworks. Yeah that can be quite nuisance but still, we still need to fight that for our future to make our parents and teachers happy. I'm not expressing about myself a lot, but because of the latter above, I might not be able to be at least super active. Since I do care much about the wiki, I’ll try to fight my laziness in order to do improvements.

Closure
I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on trying to write this application to share my reason why I wanted to be an administrator. Well, I don't really want it to end up being lackluster like some promotion threads ran by users recently and the past. Not only I wanted to try my best in this position, I don’t want to give up so easily despite facing a life issue that really irritates your focusing on contributing the wiki with full efforts. I think it's up to you fellows whether I get the position or not. Alright, it's time to vote with seriousness.
