Throughout SmashWiki, I have been excessively active (fun fact, I started this account in 2010, the year Omega and Miles made theirs, but I wasn't on here too often, sadly) and have added a lot of information across the articles; while I'm obviously not the most active user on this wiki (let's face it, others like Aidan and Luigi540 are beyond active in general), I'm active enough to keep the wiki safe and steady. I just wish I got the chance to undo some vandal edits that occur.

#'''Strong/moderate oppose.''' Unlike the other two current candidates, who are running due to the huge amount of vandalism on the wiki, you are running mainly because of a username conflict. Also, you are severely lacking in skills with both edit and user conflicts, as shown by the OT page (also, see [[Smasher talk:Omega Tyrant|this]]), and bring up arguments for irrelevant edits that got undid because they were obnoxious. Also, you have issues following guidelines like [[SW:1RV]]. You are mediocre as a candidate at best, and while you could be a good one in the future, your weaknesses need serious sharpening.

#:My position is now slightly more supportive because of the way you calmly ended the OT debate, but remains a '''stronger-moderate oppose.'''

#'''Slight Oppose''' While I will say you are capable, with you doing some great work as it is so far, I will have to agree with Ganonmew that you do have some things to work out, especially since I had to step in to the OT argument, otherwise it just would've kept going until an admin stepped in and threw in some penalties. Again, you are capable, but there are things you should work on first before considering to be admin.

#'''Oppose''' Again, your points of becoming admin are weak. Granted, you are a good and active contributor, but I find you lacking admin-like qualities.

#'''Oppose'''. Far too inexperienced, no apparent need for admin tools, and next-to-zero credible claims of conflict management/resolution.

#'''Oppose'''. Extremely good contributor and user in general, but no evidence of a need for adminship or its tools.

#'''Oppose'''. You have 0 experience. I correct your edits very frequently and you have no conflict resolution.

#:Also, of the 3 RfAs out there, I feel like you would be the most likely to abuse the admin power. No, work on your resolution skills and your editing skills...A lot...then try again.

#'''Strong oppose''', now I don't know you, but the points you addressed in your application were quite weak. I don't see where you'd need it, judging that you were inactive if I read correctly for a while, and there's better candidates in my opinion.

#'''Strong oppose''', Who are you again? You sound naive. You are inexperience in disputes and other admin required material. I never see you do something special. [[User:Luigi540|Luigi540]] ([[User talk:Luigi540|talk]]) 01:37, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

Question for all three users with active RfAs: Did all three of you apply for adminship as a response to the recent vandalism that has been going around?

:I did not (so it kind of upsets me because so many people assumed I did). Like I said in the post, I've been tossing the idea around since SK gave up because I feel like we need another admin. <small><font color="black">---</font><font color="orange">Preceding unsigned comment added by</font> [[Special:MyPage|<font color="black">BOO</font>]]! <font color="orange">Or maybe</font> [[User:Nutta Butta|<font color="orange">Nutta.</font>]] </small>  21:32, 21 October 2015 (EDT)
::Eh, sorry about that then. Recently since there are three RfAs and two RfRs going around during this week with quite recent vandalism going about, I would suppose that these users want to have additional tools to combat these vandals.
