Well, let's see here...um...well, for one, I'm active most of the time, arguably more so than other admins on this site. For two, I have a very good idea of what should and shouldn't go on here. For three, the time the rollbackers had to stall [[User:BLT SANDWICH|this recent vandal]] is quite frankly ridiculous. | Well, let's see here...um...well, for one, I'm active most of the time, arguably more so than other admins on this site.

#::That doesn't matter. You have much more control over what you type than what comes out of your mouth. And with that there's little excuse for some the reactions you exhibit here. I'm not saying you should censor yourself. I'm just saying that there are better, more effective ways to put things, and many times when you use those words, it is not necessary. Improper use of language is actually the least of my mentioned concerns here, though.

#'''Oppose''' I am getting a very strong impression that you initiated this for the wrong reasons, and your blurb is not very convincing in terms of how you'd be a better-than-average candidate. More than anything else, this feels like "admin for the sake of more admins".

#:Initially, yes; as Miles stated (and I then agreed with), it was a bit rushed due to an obnoxious vandal. However, given more time to think about it, I feel that I can put other admin tools to good use.

#:Well you COULD say that two admins could handle the job with the tools, couldn't you? Also while Nyargleblargle does FAR (and I mean far) better with the tools than Toomai or Miles, I feel like he is somewhat lacking in dealing with vandals, which seems like a tool Aidanzapunk would use well. One of his points for adminship is dealing with vandalism, and with Miles not being on as much, and Toomai becoming pretty much semi-active now, Nyargle is left to do the job and doesn't really do it well, considering the SmashWikia levels of vandalism we've been having. I feel like having Aidan as an admin could fix this.

#'''Neutral leaning towards Support''' Same as everyone says. Once we can issue range bans on these vandals, we don't need so many admins.

#: A few things. 1) A range ban won't help if the IPs are so far apart. 2) There will always be vandals, and we really do not have enough admins IMO.
