Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-5250721-20160629043341

Hey everybody, I have a huge announcement to make on this wiki, and it will hopefully benefit us all. Recently, the other administrators and I have been discussing on adding another administrator to the wiki, an active user that can be an extra hand in helping for days when most of us cannot be as active, especially during the fall and winter. I don't want Bdj to be left alone as well all the time, dealing with problems and drama on his own time. We also want to begin adding moderators that will help us maintain order and be a great contribution to this community, (Click here if you want to know what moderators do)

A lot of users here have the potential to be an administrator, but you must understand that this is not a merit you earn from being a good editor; it's a serious responsibility you must take in being a leader in maintaining that the wiki flourishes well. If any of you were here as long as I've been, you should know how crazy things have gone for a long time.

This time, we have discussed on a different way to apply to be an administrator this time. Please do not nominate people this time. If you want to be an administrator, please use THIS forum board to apply yourself. DO NOT use another administrators'  message wall. '''We will NOT consider you if you don't follow the rules. ''' If you think you are responsible enough to become an administrator, keep on reading. For users who want to be moderators, I will post up another message board soon, giving further instructions.

'''Your nomination for yourself should be done no later than Friday, July 8. Do not nominate other users. G'''ood luck!

Applying process
'''Please follow the format and answer all questions as honestly as you can. The better effort you put in your answers, the better chance you can prove to yourself that you are READY to be an administrator. '''

1. Your username, and how long you've edited here.

2.  What qualities do you personally believe that you have to be an administrator? If you're an administrator on another wiki, specify the wiki you're on and reflect on how your responsibilities there can apply here.(skip this question if this does not apply to you)  What qualities do you think make a good administrator, and what skills should one process?

3. Personally, how do you handle situations when you have to take the responsibility and step up as a leader? How will you apply these skills as an administrator? Are you active enough in the community to understand how to deal with certain situations and users?

4.Do you accept full responsibility to have the user rights, the ability, and to be represented as a user who others will refer to often for the entire course you have this position?

Last, please copy and paste the boxes and put an x or check to ones that apply to you.
