The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship/C.Syde65 (October 2015)

I, OoppDecks nominate C.Syde65 for administrative rights. His last nomination was in February and was declined, but I feel that C.Syde has made a significant positive impact on this Wiki over nearly two years and almost 15,000 constructive edits. C.Syde has exhibited consistently good behaviour for a long period of time and I feel that he has matured since his last nomination was declined. Øôppdëckš 20:23, October 17, 2015 (UTC)

The nomination is valid and the nominee is eligible for promotion. Discussion can begin if/when the nominee agrees to the nomination. -- LostInRiverview ( Administrator)Contact me here • 22:28, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
I humbly accept this nomination, and thanks for nominating me. It has been a pleasure to serve this wiki as an editor and roll-backer for over a year. It would be an honour to serve this wiki as an administrator as well.
As I already have experience and knowledge of how the administrator tools work, when to use them, and when not to use them, I have full confidence that I am able to step into this role, and I will never abuse it for my own personal gain, or for any other reason. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:11, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

-- Strong support Since his previous nomination, I also feel he really grew over things. Such as he let go the ILS case. C.Syde is an active and helpful contributor to the Wiki, and has made many constructive edits, as well being very dedicated and respects the rules. He is already a rollback, and became featured editor twice. On his own wiki, I have witnessed that he has almost fully knowledge of mediawiki and jss. He knows how to build up a Wiki, and to run it properly. So he knows how to be a good administrator on The Sims Wiki. That means he already knows the ropes of administratorship. So if he becomes an administrator, it would be a good experience for him and has a great potential, so he will learn the ropes quick. He deserves it.

Support I agree with Sims2Player in that this user has improved drastically in the way he contributes to this wiki, as well as the way in which he deals with certain matters (for example the ILS5 case). C.Syde is fantastically active and helpful, and isn't afraid to speak his mind where appropriate. Having had significant experience on The Sims Wiki, and wiki-ing in general, C.Syde is one of whom I would consider to be the senior membership of the wiki. Thus, I would honoured to work alongside him as a fellow administrator here on The Sims Wiki. — The Tim Man (TSWAHMGWContribs) 09:39, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
 
Oppose Now it pains me to say it, but I disagree with the claims that the candidate has learned to "let go" of the ILS5 case, because they haven't according to their wiki (CSyde's Wiki). According to [1] the candidate was seen giving Chat moderator, thread moderator, rollback, and "assistant" user rights to ILS5 socks, and even explicitly declared the connection between EPICSIMSPLAYER and ILS5. This was done just two months ago, and C.Syde still has not learned from the ILS5 case to ignore the user. Promoting them to rollback on your test wiki is not ignoring them. --I am k6ka Talk to me!

-- Comment K6ka, let me explain the story. You know when EPICSIMSPLAYER got hacked? EPIC was an admin on C.Syde's Wiki so she could gain some experience. When EPIC got blocked, all her fanons got deleted. C.Syde was so nice to store them on his Wiki. He still wanted to communicate with her, so he gave rights to her other account. It hasn't got anything to do with ILS19 or anything. He just wanted to give EPIC her rights back on HIS test wiki, so she could continue practicing. I don't know if there is anything wrong about that. Sims   Player (talk) (mistakes) 12:47, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
That doesn't address the reason why I opposed. If a user has been effectively blocked and banned by the community, and has been creating sock puppet accounts to evade said block, they should not all of a sudden be granted administrator abilities on another wiki. To put it simply, revert, block, ignore. It makes no sense that an administrator suddenly starts befriending a user that has been blocked by the community. An administrator should not be helping or befriending trolls or socks. Period. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 14:22, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
You get it wrong. ILS5 is NOT like ILS19. ILS5 is a young user that created socks to evade their blocks. But you don't know how she really is. She was 11 at that time, and she is sorry. She is not a troll, just a misunderstood person. She is not a troll, she had to learn. That's the main reason C.Syde befriended her, she had no evil plans, like ILS19 has. She was only young and didn't knew how Wikia worked. C.Syde became sort of her mentor to learn her the ropes. I have respect for C.Syde he wanted to learn a user with a bad reputation HOW to use wikia properly. Most admins would've virtually pushed her away. You may not vote, but that doesn't mean he is not a good choice for adminship, he deserves it straight-away. Sims   Player (talk) (mistakes) 14:31, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
