*'''Neutral with a slight lean towards support'''. You're a good user, and you'd make a fine sysop, but you haven't been on very much recently. If your activity goes up, my vote changes.

*'''Neutral.''' The fact is that just about anyone -- who isn't a vandal and who has basic reasoning skills -- is ''competent'' to Block/Del/Prot (though we'd also expect that the user in question be reasonably active, I suppose). As Shadowcrest points out, edit count, which seems to be the sole reasoning provided in Oxico's statement, is not a valid reason for SysOption. That said, however, there are certain ''kinds'' of edits, for lack of a better term, Admin-like edits, that I've found tend to be good litmus tests for potential SysOps, particularly on a wiki, like this one, where SysOps have a great deal of authority (i.e. they're not simply "janitors", but are instead "entrusted to mediate user disputes, arbitrate users, and interpret policy during times of argument"). In short, those would be edits that display an above-average grasp of policy and "WikiCulture" and/or that display that a user is particularly level-headed, rational, etc., e.g. helping to prevent the escalation of a user conflict -- including substantive contributions to the SmashWiki/SmashWiki talk namespaces by definition. Edits that display a particular dedication to house-keeping tasks are important to some degree as well, but only if you particularly need a SysOp to do janitorial stuff and have no better alternatives. Though I can't say I ''know'' Oxico (which is a big part of the reason that this is a neutral vote, the other major reason being that I don't have extensive knowledge of precedent on this wiki) and though I don't necessarily doubt that Oxico has the aforementioned qualities, I've been looking through his contributions and I haven't seen many edits that I would categorize as Admin-like (though I'll be happy to remove this "vote" if someone shows me links to the contrary). – [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 23:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC) | *'''Neutral.'''

*'''Neutral''' — Not yet. Get back to being active and I think it would be appropriate for you to try again in a month and a half or so. :) No hard feelings. --[[User:Sky2042|Sky]] ([[User talk:Sky2042|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Sky2042|c]] · [[User:Sky2042|w]]) 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC) | *'''Neutral''' — Not yet.
