One of the bigger changes to emerge on the wiki during this three-year timespan was our jump from the IRC to Discord. It was quickly realized that there would need to be more than admins keeping everything in check, so the role of "Chat Operator" was created. Not only did my application [https://pastebin.com/5ThRQf97 successfully go through], but it was the first to do so; as such, I have been a successful moderator (so to speak) of the SmashWiki's Discord server for over a year now. Speaking from a personal viewpoint, I also feel as though I have changed as an editor and a community member over the past three years as well, as I have moderated (and even sometimes run) more personal wikis on my own spare time, and I believe that this time around, I am more suited for the administrator position. | One of the bigger changes to emerge on the wiki during this three-year timespan was our jump from the IRC to Discord.

In terms of dispute handling, this is a bit of an odd case, I will admit: in a situation where something is brought up, I will [[Talk:Giga Mac|tend to act calmly]] and [[Talk:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate/Archive 1#Fucks Sake | In terms of dispute handling, this is a bit of an odd case, I will admit: in a situation where something is brought up, I will [[Talk:Giga Mac|tend to act calmly]] and [[Talk:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate/Archive 1#Fucks Sake I tIs A New Instalment And Link Is In His Breath Of The Wild Design|try to follow protocol with how certain things are handled]]. In a typical debate between two users, however, I will admit that I tend to [[Talk:List of Director's Room Miiverse posts#Move proposal|stay ''out'' of things for the most part]], but still make sure that things don't go out of hand on the sidelines. This, however, can be chalked up to me being on the autism spectrum, which {{rollover|''really''|sarcasm|y}} helps in social situations like this. While I am prone to [[Talk:Helpless#Snake helpless trivia|making myself clear in an argument I myself am in]], that does not mean that I myself will go over the line, nor does it mean that I don't try to moderate the discussion itself to make sure it doesn't go out of hand. The opposite [[Talk:Super Mario Maker#Announced 3 Days After SMM's release|has held true in the past]], but it was [[User talk:Smashedpotatoes/Archive 1#Now, let me explain myself...|usually meant with no malicious intent]], and I believe it has been remedied as time has gone on. | ||
As stated previously, I (and plenty of others) have heard firsthand the complaints from the other admins about the lack of active staff, as there are currently [[User:Serpent King|only]] [[User:Toomai|two]] active admins, and [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|f]][[User:Disaster Flare|o]][[User:Nyargleblargle|u]][[User:Omega Tyrant|r]] semi-active admins who do not frequent the wiki as often. If this request were to go through, there would be another active admin to handle problems or other requests on the wiki, and arguably quicker than the others; I <s>don't have a life</s> <s>am stuck in my room 24/7</s> am on the wiki more often than the other admins, and, at the present point in my life, have much less going on. | As stated previously, I (and plenty of others) have heard firsthand the complaints from the other admins about the lack of active staff, as there are currently [[User:Serpent King|only]] [[User:Toomai|two]] active admins, and [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|f]][[User:Disaster Flare|o]][[User:Nyargleblargle|u]][[User:Omega Tyrant|r]] semi-active admins who do not frequent the wiki as often.
