Since this was the biggest problem, let's start here. Part of the problem is that I sold myself short, as I indeed already had [https://www.ssbwiki.com/User_talk:Monsieur_Crow/Archive_3#Assuming_bad_faith a perfect example] of me coming between two users to stop trouble, but it was also early days for me back then, and I didn't have much else to show anyway. However, I am now confident that I can handle this area effectively, as moments like [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Mario&curid=654&diff=1065053&oldid=1065048 this] and also my posts on [[User talk:Torey|this talk page]] demonstrate. The latter example at the very least demonstrates my knowledge of conduct as an admin, and where the standard needs to be. Which brings me to... | Since this was the biggest problem, let's start here.

'''My temperament and attitude in dealing with users''' | '''My temperament and attitude in dealing with users''' | ||
This section covers two issues from my previous RfA, the former of which was the other biggie. I now have learned to recognise when my temper is going to rise and more importantly, keep it under control during a critical moment. I know it was a problem, and even now, I have to remain conscious of it at all times. However it's precisely because of that that makes me feel better about this. I know that seems weak, but this is sort of a 'live and learn' argument. Most telling is that I went on a hiatus (albeit brief) 4 months ago, and there hasn't been a single rage-related incident from me since then. | This section covers two issues from my previous RfA, the former of which was the other biggie.

Shouldn't be a problem now. Before, I was deemed to be too quick to assume bad faith for some situations but since then my threshold has... wait a minute, wasn't I literally just talking about this?

'''Decision making''' | '''Decision making''' | ||
Serpent King raised the issue that I might ask other admins for help more often than I probably need to be. Given what I wrote before, that's a fair point. I feel like my decision-making ability has improved since then. Not so much that I'm completely independent, but enough that I should be able to make basic decisions without asking for help. | Serpent King raised the issue that I might ask other admins for help more often than I probably need to be.

'''CheckUser''' | '''CheckUser''' | ||
SK also raised the issue (minorly) that I might use CheckUser whenever I have so much as an inkling when something is up. That's also fair. Most discussion about this has since been in the Discord, but I reasonably believe that my threshold on this has increased. A lot of the most recent incidences of me detecting sockpuppetry have been spot on, so maybe I have a sense for this or something? (God, I sound so freaking arrogant there, don't I?) | SK also raised the issue (minorly) that I might use CheckUser whenever I have so much as an inkling when something is up. That's also fair.
