Forum:Reopen the RFA page

Recently, several users put up nominations on the RFA page. This, along with Bord's desire to reopen it as well has led me to believe that many are willing to strike the proposal that the page be closed until October. I don't have much to say on this, but I think others will. 14:15, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Late-night admins are needed, and nearly half of our admins might as well be inactive anyway, so much of the day this wiki is tended by regular users only. TimSim (talk) 14:18, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

In Full God Dam Support - We tried to warn you regular users couldn't probably combat late hour vandal attacks. Did you listen? No.....we had to get Staff Support --


 * Indeed, it seems that our calls for more active admins were in-fact made with an amount of foresight. TimSim (talk) 14:23, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support I have seen many cases of us regular users contacting VSTF and Staff. Not fast enough. We need more admins then you think we do. The Z(Talk) 14:21, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support If more admins are necessary then by all means more should be allowed to be made.  Poketape Talk  15:23, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I'd just like to stress, that 5 non-admin users patrolling the wikia at night during normal sleep hours aren't enough. I propose a system where the 5 users mention before in the RfA page are given Admin powers, and rotate shifts on the wikia so there is always at least 1 admin online.

Support - Most of our admins are inactive now such as Creepydude, Son-of-The-Witch King and others now. We need to replace them as admins or get more help from our users like Expert, Darth and Dunn. 15:41, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Comment At Above - You know I was the one who came up with the plane to charge straight into the RfA page and start this whole thing right? --


 * Hey well it was my idea to remember than it was technically closed! @_@ lol TimSim (talk) 15:52, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support - the admins now aren't on the wiki, we had a user who made multiple sockpuppets, uploaded porn, vandalized, and trolled the wiki. And there were no admins online, we had to get User:Avatar to block him and his sickpuppets, and his IP. Now who wants that to happpen again? Or have late-night vandals on and they can only revert their vandalizm? 15:45, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Again, Avatar is staff, so I think it's a bid sad when we've got to go to staff to deal with internal wiki affairs D: TimSim (talk) 15:52, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support - It appears to me that it needs to be re-opened. Doc.  Richtofen  16:31, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - Re-opening it now will make closing it in the first place pointless. EightOhEight can do late-night work, and I can do early morning work, considering I'm EST +5. There are enough admins as of now to handle the work that will be done. Of course, when Black Ops comes out, new admins will be needed, but not now. 16:53, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been up since yesterday afternoon, this is your first edit of the day that I'm aware of, the vandal was taken care of by wikia staff, when one of our admins should have been on hand. EightOhEight is out of commission, in case you didn't know I am his "herald" acting as a medium between him and the wiki. TimSim (talk) 16:56, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Contacting Wikia Staff to deal with a vandal is perfectly fine and nothing to be ashamed of...  16:59, June 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is when Wikia Staff were the only persons to respond to our "calls". No local admins were around to put an end to the initial vandalism and VSTF still haven't responded. TimSim (talk) 17:01, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Change to support - After discussion on IRC. 17:18, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
