{{Nutshell|Sometimes, your request for administratorship/bureaucratship may not succeed. If your request is declined, don't take it in a negative fashion, it just means that the community doesn't think you're ready yet. For most users, it takes quite some time for their administrator/bureaucrat rights requests to be approved and you can apply again in the future once you've acknowledged the raised concerns.}}
The Sims Wiki has a group of users known as '''[[The Sims Wiki:Administrators|administrators]]''' and '''[[The Sims Wiki:Administrators#Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]]''', who have tools that enable them to block a user, delete a page, protect a page amongst other things. These rights can only be obtained from ana [[The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship|RfARequest for administratorship]] (often abbreviated ''RfA'') or ana [[The Sims Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship|RfBRequest for bureaucratship]] (or ''RfB''). Selection of these positions is based on community consensus, and typically only the most active and experienced editors on the wiki are able to attain these ranks. Often, a user may apply for a promotion to administrator or bureaucrat, but have their application/nomination opposed. Most of the time, this is due to the applicant's inexperience, or due to certain circumstances which can change over time. It is important to remember that a rejected RfA or RfB does not mean that future requests will also be rejected - sometimes, the answer to a request is "'''not now'''," but that answer may change in the future.

== Things to note if your request was declined ==
*You are welcome to reapply later once you've addressed the concerns made by the community which ultimately lead to your previous request being declined.
*If you were declined for disruptive behavior and you have worked to improve your conduct then users will notice that and literally forget or forgive what happened in the past.
*Comments made on your request aren't personal but they are rather referred to as "constructive criticism", which tells you why you can't have those rights today but maybe in the future.
*Even the greatest editors have had to wait up to and sometimes over a year for admin/bureaucrat rights to be granted to the user after working constructively to improve the wiki. As they say, "Be Patient. Good things come to those who wait".
