#:Given the below commentary, I think I'll enhance my reasoning a bit more. Whilst it is true that we do indeed have an active B'crat, and that has seemed efficient for some time, the fact that there is no deliberate need to have an another should neither sway anyone towards Support or Oppose. We're trying to answer the question "Does/can this person need/deserve/be trusted with the related powers?" I do indeed think that Miles having these powers will at least be of some benefit to the wiki, as it will help the system run better, as that would mean more time is covered, so to speak. Based off his contributions both to the technical side of the wiki and the community aspect, I think that I am justified in saying that he does meet the requirements of being a BC. However, here, I hit a snag, as there has been some rough patches in the past, including multiple scuffles with OT, two of which coming to mind, which I really wouldn't want to migrate to scuffles between Miles and Toomai. However, I do note that, bar the exception that quite a few people had noted, and I don't feel like I need to, he has not had, to my memory, too many disputes with other editors on the wiki, particularly so in recent history - before that, not so much. Therefore, my end argument is this - I support this RFB not only because Miles, in my opinion, satisfies those conditions, but that I find no substancial reasoning not to. Certanly, should such reasons arise in the future, my opinion may change, but, until such a time, I will keep my opinion as '''support'''. However, I will note one other thing - should this RFB be passed, this will leave us in the slightly awkward position of having two BC's. To bring British Law into this, in a Magistrate's court, you either have one Magistrate, or three, never two. The reason for this is obvious - irresolvable disagreements are very likley, a 1/3 random chance, as opposed to a 1/5 random chance with, four. Hence why I really don't want disagreements between the two. However, I do think it's unlikley, and we can resolve it if it happens. <font face="Agency FB">Score[[Special:Contributions/ScoreCounter|C]]o[[User:ScoreCounter|u]]n[[User Talk:ScoreCounter|t]]er</font> 16:44, 6 November 2015 (EST) | #:Given the below commentary, I think I'll enhance my reasoning a bit more.

Admittedly, he's of a sound an logical mind in casual situations he's needed, but when it comes to handling disputes on the wiki, Miles is incredibly one-sided, is often a late responder (see the end of [http://www.ssbwiki.com/User_talk:Aidanzapunk#Do_you_really_need_to_be_so_hostile.3F] <- this, for example), and when it comes to following SmashWiki policies (SW: TALK, for example), he can be incredibly two-faced and hypocritical at times. Furthermore, I've noticed on many occasions that if he happens to be on the losing end of an argument, he'll immediately try to shut down his opposition with his positional power all while keeping quiet the whole time, often dodging any questions that come his way. To summarize, I see him come off as a megalomaniac (i.e., using a "my way or the highway" approach), which in my opinion, is not the right way to handle responsibility.

#'''Oppose...?''' I regret saying this: from reading the opposition comments of Omega and 15DollarsWentSouth, I can agree that you don't have the right amount of responsibility to gain bureaucracy, since you don't seem to stop disputes and arguments frequently compared to other lower-ranked users (my buddy [[User:Disaster Flare|Disaster Flare]] went and solved [[User_talk:Drilly_Dilly/Archive_1#Two_things_you_need_to_check_out.|this here ugly situation between me and the guy I can't stand]]; you also didn't respond to [[User_talk:Serpent_King/Archive_3#Toon_Link|this dispute]] in time and posted your comment very late); in other words, I very seldom see you post on a user talk page that solves an argument between at least two users, and even if you do, it's just one or few comments, and then the next we know, you're gone, and the argument fails to cease at that moment. I can agree with everybody else (especially Omega) that you need to do more than just blocking vandals to earn bureaucracy power, despite how I think you're very good at spotting violators and ending their plots to screw this wiki up (don't argue, Omega). While I don't think you're a bad admin (if you read this, please contain yourself, Omega), I can agree with everybody else that you still need to improve on arbitration (ending arguments and debates), since you don't seem to notice disputes that much and how other users (like Disaster Flare) handle them way more often, though I do understand that at certain moments, you're busy with other stuff, along with Nyargleblargle, and I can respect that.

You push for policies based on your opinions and are quick to dismiss users who have a different opinion than yourself, despite said opinions being founded on unsound assumptions about ''Smash'' and its competitive community, and think that we can sugarcoat extreme facts in a way that removes legitimate information from pages and backs widespread misguided views about characters' viability.

That was a while ago though, and because I have not seen anything remotely like that since Marth, I can move past it (mostly). Looking back on it, would you have handled the situation differently?

#'''Neutral leaning towards oppose''' Miles really isn't a bad admin or anything, at least in my opinion, but he very much has a "I'm right and you're wrong, end of story" type of attitude (take any example from this thread, and also take a look a while back to the [[amiibo]] head icon debates). He's got a really thick skull and I'm sure a lot of you can agree with me on that. But because of this, I'm don't really think giving him more power is a good idea. I'm only putting my vote in Neutral instead of Oppose because I'm not entirely convinced that he'd do any worse with the bureaucrat powers.

::::Sure another bureaucrat will be helpful, but there is nothing demonstrating that we absolutely need another one right now. Additionally, best available candidate? Ignoring the ridiculousness of that statement, even if the wiki was in such a sorry state that you were the best candidate while it really needed a new bureaucrat, you're such a terrible candidate that it's well in everyone's interests to just wait for a more suitable candidate to come along; it's certainly not a standard that's hard to surpass. | |||
::::Now I'm going to give you a heart-to-heart here Miles. Do you really ever just stop and think, that there's ''a reason'' me and so many other users disapprove of you so strongly? You really have that much of a self-victimising mentality that you think we all just decided to start hating you because of your funny name, because you play "Bluigi", because you seriously use comic sans in your sig, or because we thought you looked like a dork in that one picture Smoreking posted of you on AiB? Have you ever stop to think that you're not always right, that you may in fact be often wrong, and that people aren't going against you so often just because they have a vendetta against you? Have you ever consider, that just maybe, you really aren't fit for the job anymore, and that it would be in the wiki's best interest if you stepped down and took a less active role? | |||
::::I don't hold vendettas against people Miles, I don't know a damn thing about you in your personal life, and we have next to no offwiki interaction, not even on IRC, there's absolutely nothing personal I can hold against you. All I have to judge you by is what you do on this wiki (and your prior administrating on AiB), and unfortunately blunder after blunder combined with your general disposition has led me (and others) to judge you so harshly. I don't criticize and confront people here just for the sake of conflict, I do it to keep the wiki striving towards its ultimate goal and help the userbase improve as much as it can. And when it is the same user with the same problem over and over, I'm going to have to get more and more blunt. On the flipside, I don't hold back praise when I see users doing good; for example how much have I publicly gushed here about what users I would have supported for adminship like HavocReaper, Monsieur Crow, Megatron1, and Mousehunter? If you were doing genuine good for the wiki, you would hear it. | |||
::::I'm someone who is a big believer in the philosophy of self-improvement, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. Just recently for example, after having neglected my physical shape over the past couple of years, I got serious about my fitness and nutritional intake, lost nearly all the fat I gained, and am now poised to soon do a proper bulk/cut cycle. I'm also a strong believer in redemption and giving people the chance to right their wrongs, BNK is a brilliant example on this wiki on how people can improve so much after they seemed like a lost cause. As such, I absolutely do not think it's impossible for you to truly improve and become not only the great admin all the newbies (including myself when I was one) perceive you as, but also a legitimately great bureaucrat candidate. But I also to have to factor in the reality; you been like this for seven years, and people who are so set in their ways for so long are among the unlikeliest people to actually change and improve. Besides the fact we should judge one's RfX, especially for such an important position as bureaucrat, primarily on their actions throughout their tenure, it gives me incredibly low confidence that you would have the potential to do any remote good with the position. | |||
::::If you are serious about improving yourself, here is my honest advice for you. Back away from this RfB, take a break from the wiki, ponder why you've been involved with the wiki to such a great degree for so long, and really ponder why you've gotten such significant disapproval over your really long adminship tenure. It takes a lot more than a feedback page on a wiki to really understand where you falter and on how you really can make yourself the best possible person you can be. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:49, 15 November 2015 (EST) | |||
::What more am I expecting of you? I am expecting an admin who can set aside their opinions during decision making and instead use their power to better the wiki. I am expecting an admin who will not belittle other users because you have a higher power. I am expecting an admin who can properly and professionally represent our wiki and the many hours our userbase has put into it. I am expecting an admin who won't bite the head off of a newer contributor because they disagree with you (or tell them that they have no business editing the wiki). I am expecting an admin who can get along with the rest of the staff, thus improving our image (I do understand that OT has acted less then professional in this instance, possibly provoking an irritable response, but this is not the only instance. It isn't even the only recent instance). Consider all of these and improve. Stop saying that you are improving and actually do it. I am sorry I have to be so blunt, but I have already tried a softer approach at this and it has gotten me nowhere. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 13:27, 15 November 2015 (EST) | |||

I would like to share my thought concerning the common response I see you give Miles when told about your mishaps which are basically "I have been improving" or more literally: ''If you're that willing to immediately disregard months and years of hard work towards self-improvement as an "act", it sounds like personal vendetta more than thoughtful criticism.'' First off, you're really not in the right to say that you are in fact improving and everybody else is just being unreasonable. Why? Because it is those same people who pointed out that you have problems in the first place; how could you know you're in fact getting better except through those same people telling you you are since they're the ones who brought it to attention to begin with. You cannot independently determine if you're improving apart from the ones telling you the problems. Imagine a math teacher telling a student that his grades have been slipping and have been doing bad for half the year now. But then the student responds with that he IS getting better at math, it's just the teacher just has something against him and that's why his grades are slipping (or claims the teacher is just being unreasonable). He's the one who pointed out the student's problem with math; he determines if the student is getting better, not the student. When you say "I am getting better at being admin", that is a claim that can only be corraborated by people other than you, since it is them that pointed out the problem to start with. If you're saying you're getting better, but the same people who brought issue with you to begin with say you're not, you're obviously not improving. This isn't to say you can't feel as though you're improving, but rather you cannot corraborate that you are when it was them who brought the issue to you. If you feel like you've been doing better, you need to check with the ones making the claim against you to see if that feeling is true. And finally secondly, it does not matter how hard you work towards something, but rather the results of that work. I know nobody likes hearing that, but it is true. If you're working hard at something with no results then it is your methods that is in error.
