Hello, I'm OmegaToad64, though most users simply refer to me as OmegaToad. Although I've only been an editor here for about a year, I believe I'm ready to become a sysop. Recently Emmett and Nyarglebargle were demoted from adminship due to inactivity, leaving us with only 6 admins (7 if Porplemontage is counted) and 4 active admins. While it may not seem like too big of a deal, not all of them are active all the time or even on a daily basis, and more often than not there are several times in a day where none of them are active for several hours. It is this time when a vandal has the opportunity to strike and potentially can get away with it, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Fall_2019_PGRU&action=history and it has happened not long ago]. With me active during those times I will be able to prevent such things from happening with the admin tools, providing a major benefit for this wiki. | Hello, I'm OmegaToad64, though most users simply refer to me as OmegaToad.

Like everyone I have made mistakes in the past. When I first joined I didn't fully read all of the policies and have been guilty of breaking [[SW:AGF]], [[SW:BTALK]], and almost [[SW:NPA]]. It was primarily this incident which made me feel I needed to improve on my conflict resolution skills, to the point where l even [[User talk:Disaster Flare/Archive 11#Advice on dispute handling|asked for advice]]. Once I recieved my warnings I read the policies more carefully and have refrained from that those. Now I often view [[User:Monsieur Crow/What Makes An Admin|this SA]] to see if I meet the qualifications of a sysop, so here are my reasonings to why I believe I am a strong candidate for adminship: Policy enforcement is something I mastered and probably may be most known for on here. The way I enforce them is I am straight to the point and guide them to the policy they violated. For first time offenders I assume good faith and give a friendly reminder, though for users with a more checkered history I am more stringent with my warnings. When it comes to disbute and conflict handling, I always remain calm and neutral, no matter how out of hand the disbute gets. I try to look at both sides and decide which of them is the most benefitial and reasonable, and if one side has fault I point it out the faults of that side. Often times I also [[Talk:Grab aerial#Move|wait to hear other users' suggestions]] before I give my own thought, as sometimes another user may suggest the best option. Times when I'm part of a disbute, I [[Forum:P+ content#Comments|point out the flaws and settle things]] in a calm but still straightforward manner, or if I know a change is not going to be for the better I state why it most likely will not happen, [[Template talk:Symbol/Archive 2#Change the placeholder symbol to the Custom Stage symbol|while still admitting I'm open for a change]]. If I have a disagreement with another user, my first action is to [[SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 17#Edit warring|simply drop the matter]] before a dispute begins. In the case of a conflict my first action (if possible) is to [[User talk:Son Daniel#Woah Woah Woah|resolve it before it gets heated]], or quickly stop things that will [[User talk:Galarto#SW:CONSENSUS|only raise more problems]]. | Like everyone I have made mistakes in the past.

Contributions, I feel, are irrelevant in an RFA, however I will still mention a few nonetheless: one if my biggest ones was when I almost single-handedly categorized over 400 images in one day (I had some help from SuperSmashTurtles). As per [[Forum:Character articles protection list|this proposal]] I worked alongside DracoRex to template all of the SSBU fighter characters' changelist, this is my example that I am willing to work together with anyone. | Contributions, I feel, are irrelevant in an RFA, however I will still mention a few nonetheless: one if my biggest ones was when I almost single-handedly categorized over 400 images in one day (I had some help from SuperSmashTurtles).
