::::::::::I was asked to change my vote numerous times, but I want to stick to neutral. I think this position might be a good first step towards the admin position, but who's going to apply for it? I don't know, but in my personal opinion am I not convinced that this could possibly improve the community. This is because of the current community that we have, and (I'm not saying (user)names) with some of the users I've seen am I not really convinced that any of them will and/or should participate. Most users don't participate in any of the community discussions, they don't really improve anything outside of fanon and in short, I don't think they're really here for the community, only for you-know-what... If this wasn't the case at all, I would've supported.

{{od|:::::::::::}} While we are all entitled to our own reasons for giving support, neutral, or oppositions in discussions to reach a community consensus, I must say that our present day community is perfectly good at filtering out good candidates, from candidates that aren't suitable for the position they are applying for. Most of the users that aren't dedicated to the community side of the wiki don't participate in those sorts of discussions, unless multiple users have already given support, or no users have opposed the request.
I've seen it before in past nominations where the users that weren't very dedicated to the community side of the wiki would either not see the nomination, or they would hold back until some of the more dedicated users weighed in on the discussion, and if most of them gave support, then some of the users that were less dedicated would give support. And I've also noticed that in nominations where most of the more dedicated users had opposed the nomination, a lot of the less dedicated users would refrain from participating in the discussion altogether.
We have had some past users - that were later revealed to be unsuitable for the rights they were applying for - that passed their nominations on the wiki, and this time when I say past users, I mean those from years back. Those users passed their nominations partly because back then user nominations weren't very formal, with each nomination taking place on the same page, unlike today where each administrator or bureaucrat nomination gets their own nomination and discussion page. In the early nominations there wasn't really much discussion, it was just a "support", "neutral", or "oppose" based on trust, and nothing more.
In some of [[The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship/Archive 1|the very first administrator]] requests that took place on the wiki, a user basically explained their strengths, and occasionally weaknesses, and why they thought they would benefit from the position, and then their rights requests would be accepted or declined based on trust, and if they weren't trusted with the responsibilities of an administrator, they were often granted rollback privileges instead, unless the candidate was clearly ineligible to obtain any position on the wiki. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 10:08, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
