#'''Strong Support.''' This is a critical time for the wiki. As I write this paragraph at the risk of repeating what has been said both above and elsewhere, this wiki now basically has only Toomai as an admin. We need another admin, everyone. And who better than ToastUltimatum? Some of the other candidates I want to run for admin, such as RD, have little to no interest in adminship. On the other hand, Toast has interest in adminship, not because he's power-hungry, but because he genuinely wants to help the wiki, which is more than can be said for many people that have submitted RfAs. Toast is known around the community as a very helpful user. He has adminship experience from many other wikis. When there is a new user, he is always welcoming and trusted by them. When a new user breaks a policy by accident, he explains the policy to them in a way where people listen- firm enough to get his point across, but not so firm as to scare the new user away. As we all know, he isn't the type of user that would abuse admin powers. Okay, so he hasn't handled many disputes, but that's a good thing-- this means that the wiki doesn't have that much user disputes, and if it did, I would be completely confident in his ability to handle them. Thank you, Toast, for all you've done for me, this wiki, and its users. I wish you the best of luck in this RfA.

#We need more admins before the SSB4 rush, and I trust ToastUltimatum with this powers. He is already an admin on many wikis, including [[icaruspedia:User:ToastUltimatum|three]] [[fzerowiki:User:ToastUltimatum|NIWA]] [[lylatwiki:User:ToastUltimatum|wikis]]. I completely support Toast.

#<font color="#ffaa00">'''Slight Oppose:'''</font> Idk man, after seeing the oppose and comments section, I believe this RfA warrants an oppose vote from me. You can also be blunt & offensive at times, and I don't know if you need the admin tools anymore. I also agree with the oppose reasons a bit, and you have a questionable ability to solve user disputes. I don't oppose entirely however; You're an admin on numerous wikis, including mine, and have never abused admin powers. But overall, your cons exceeds your pros.--[[User:Bandit|<font style='font-family:myriad pro;font-size:13pt;color:hsl(258.25,100%,50%)'>Bandit</font>]] 17:13, 6 August 2012 (EDT) | #<font color="#ffaa00">'''Slight Oppose:'''</font> Idk man, after seeing the oppose and comments section, I believe this RfA warrants an oppose vote from me.

#Though I don't actively edit like I used to, I do follow this Wiki closely. Toast: You are a great user, but there are two reasons why I am opposing this RfA. 1. We just don't need more administrators at the moment. There is not a major amount of vandalism, nor are there large amounts of user disputes that require immediate admin action. Toomai has things under control here, PoD and OT are still around, and Emmett still exists if those 3 somehow become insufficient. Which brings me to my second point. 2. You don't seem to be able to bring anything to the table that the other admins cannot. You aren't more active than they are, you aren't really active at different times, and I don't see you doing anything they don't already do. Since you don't need the tools, and we don't need to give out the tools, there isn't a reason to grant a promotion at this time. Now to the users in the support section: SSB4 has no release date, no title, and basically no information whatsoever on it. It could be a few '''years''' before this thing hits shelves. Stop assuming that just because this game has entered the very early stages of development, that this somehow means that activity level will significantly boost soon and we somehow therefore need more administrators. And honestly, no we don't need more admins. Just because you are under the delusion that there is only one active admin (which is untrue), doesn't mean we need more, as that one is doing a sufficient job on his own.

#'''Oppose'''. While I disagree with Dr. Pain's claim that preparing for a likely surge in editors is "delusional" (as the last thing we want is to have to elect an admin in the middle of a such a surge; better to prepare right now), you've shown yourself unable to respond well to criticism. Omega Tyrant is blunt at times, but he was not personally attacking PoD, Emmett, and Miles (his views of them are well known, perhaps he was a bit harsh in his criticisms). Nor was he attacking you, he was really just vetting. Even calling you "a terrible admin candidate" is not an attack. As Clarinet Hawk said to me when I ran for admin "not every good soldier makes a good general, not every good user can be an admin". Perhaps the most basic part of being an admin is to understand the wiki's policies. Since you don't seem to have mastered that yet, you should not be an admin right now. | |||

Luigi540, I'm not going to try and make you change your oppose, so don't take it that way, but I want to know exactly what makes me "mean". I get a lot of people that tell me I'm a nice guy, but because I had an argument with OT, this makes me mean? I thought I'd been particularly nice to you as a user, when I posted on your talk page, telling you that you did a good job on the article you made. Arrogant was another bad thing to say about me. By calling me arrogant, you're basically saying OT is 100% right, and that I'm simply refusing to accept it. When I get involved in an argument, I will argue, that's what you're supposed to do. It's not being arrogant, it's sticking up for myself.
