#'''Oppose'''  I don't really care if Shadowcrest said it wasn't a problem; I don't like people using sock puppets, especially for policy and administration things.  Plus, your comment that you used SZL to mean "serious business" without other users disliking you really bothers me.  What it says to me is that you are more concerned with popularity than policy and/or that you don't understand how to be serious without offending other people.  Neither of these are traits that I would look for in a sysop.  Also, I can remember at least one or two instances in which you used both SZL and this account to get double comments on policies.  I'll also say that it seems rather stupid of you to ever bring this up in the first place.  I honestly had no inclination that you were using SZL as a sock (I thought he might be one, but I had no idea of what user), and it doesn't really say much about you as a user to come out and ''admit'' that you violated the rules that you are now asking for the powers to enforce.  As a sidenote, I would actually be less bothered if you told me that [[User:13375poolR|13375poolR]] was your sock puppet (although that probably wouldn't look good for your RfA either...), as I could then just wright it off to you being bored and wanting to have some fun.  Here, though, I feel like you were trying to use sock puppets to manufacture fake support for things.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 19:29, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

#'''Oppose''' If I oppose you, shadow will promote you for certain. --[[User:Warwick|Warwick]] 21:09, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

#'''Oppose''' Sigh. For a while there, you had me convinced. I thought you were a good candidate for the position because you genuinely wanted to make SmashWiki better and you for the most part had stayed out of the antics that plagued this place for about a year. But then you admit that you had a sock. Normally, since I believe that you do have good motivations, I would have let this slide, but you abused sockpuppets in the one way where I can't shed a good light on it. You used it to get double comments/supports for policies, and while this isn't as flagrant as using them to support your own RfA, it is a clear abuse, and it shows a legitimate lack of good judgment. Unfortunately, that's the one really really important thing about becoming an administrator: displaying good judgment. You displayed poor judgment, and no amount of good faith edits and good faith admissions change that. Sorry.
