Why is it so hard to become a 'crat,is it because you can't remove this right?--[[user:Monster2821| Danny (Monster2821)]]<small> ([[user talk:Monster2821|talk]])([[special:random|random page]])</small> 22:51, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

:::I don't know when applications/nominations will be accepted, since I'm not in charge of them. I can only guess that they will be open within the next few months, but I would be very surprised if they're not open by the end of the year. As for difficulty, I think a thorough and difficult application process is actually a good thing. It ensures that the users who are trusted enough to receive bureaucrat status 1) are very very qualified, 2) are willing to put forward time and effort, 3) are able to communicate well and willing to talk with other Bureaucrats, the Administrators, users, and Wikia staff, 4) can be trusted to take on the many added bureaucrat responsibilities without abusing the priviledges and unique "powers" that receiving Bureaucrat status presents, namely the ability to add and remove administrators and other positions. So, I think it's important that applications be difficult and thorough, and it's very important that they're done correctly because, while it's not exactly easy for a non-bureaucrat to get rid of an administrator, it's practically impossible to get rid of a bureaucrat, if they should abuse their authority. Think of the bureaucrats as sort of the co-managers of the wiki (since there really are no "owners" outside of the legal mumbo-jumbo), who have to be able to get along, discuss things with each other, and trust each other.
:::Finally, on further thought, I believe Danny does have a valid point in suggesting self-nomination; a user may not necessarily want to nominate an admin if the admin hasn't shown any particular interest in a bureaucrat position, even if that admin would be willing to take on the position if nominated. But, I still stand by my previous idea, that a self-nomination should be seconded by at least one other user. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 23:34, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
