 '''Support''' - Right now I have the same opinion as SuperHamster, altough accidents could happen with the rollback, they can be fixed and they don´t outweight the positive things that the rollback grants. [[User:Zero|Zero]] ([[User talk:Zero|talk]]) 04:11, 1 February 2011 (EST)
+Alright, after thinking this through, I '''support''' allowing standard users to have access to the rollback tool. While I'll admit that the potential for abuse is higher than the overall benefit of allowing a user to use it, I believe that potential for abuse diminishes with trusted users that abide by the policies and guidelines of SmashWiki. And while mostly a minor convenience for the average user, the rollback tool can be pretty useful in reverting vandalism for those with poor connections.
+Now while I do support giving rollback to standard users, I '''oppose''' reinstating Requests for Rollback as the process of obtaining the rollback tool. As for Emmett's primary reason for opposing the process of RfRs, and as you can see in previous discussions on this talk page, RfRs were often blown out of proportion. Despite the rollback tool not being important, and as mentioned before, being mostly a minor convenience when reverting vandalism, the requests for them often resembled RfAs, with all the Wiki drama and unnecessarily large debates, for something so minor. As such, to obtain rollback, a simple request to a bureaucrat with a summary of why you think rollback would benefit you should be sufficient enough to obtain it. I believe our bureaucrats are trusted enough to decide who should and who shouldn't have rollback on their own. Plus, by getting rid of RfRs in favor of direct requests to a bureaucrat, the process becomes more efficient and less effects the usual daily flow of the Wiki. And as always, if a user disagrees with a bureaucrat's decision to give rollback to a user, they can always bring it up to the bureaucrat and present why they believe the bureaucrat made a mistake with their decision. Or if it's the bureaucrat who is unsure whether or not to give a requesting user access to rollback, they can always ask other users what they think about it.
+So in conclusion, I '''support''' allowing standard users having access to rollback, but '''oppose''' having Requests for Rollback as the process of obtaining rollback in favor of direct requests to a bureaucrat. <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> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 11:52, 1 February 2011 (EST)
