#'''Oppose'''. While I appreciate your honesty in the "conflict moderation" section of your RfA, it more or less reads to me as an admission that you're not ready for the job. If you're "probably not" reliable "to resolve hostile situations" (your words, not mine), then that should answer the question of the RfA by itself. One of the most difficult lessons I have learned as a wiki admin is that there are often times where multiple, good-faith users are disagreeing and things get heated and angry, and somebody has to try to resolve it. It's even harder when you yourself are one of those in disagreement. Remaining level-headed when the situation is frustrating or anger-inducing is utterly essential, and I have plenty of experience with how difficult doing so can be. By my judgment, knowing how to de-escalate a situation is much more important as a wiki admin than your competence at janitorial work or rote knowledge of policy. If you aren't prepared for that, then you should try again when you are.

#'''Oppose''' for two major reasons. First off, as Miles said, you don't seem to be very good at conflict moderation, asyou stated. Secondly, there is simply no need for a new admin. Work of the most you seem to specialize in is janitorial, and our current seem to have no holes in this area. Our admins are almost always here, and you really don't seem to provide much else in your RfA. <span style="color:Green;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px skyblue">'''--'''</span>[[User:Penro|<span style="color:Red; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px red">'''Pen'''</span>]][[User talk:Penro|<span style="color:Black; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px black">'''ro'''</span>]] 19:08, 1 January 2018 (EST) | #'''Oppose''' for two major reasons.

#:It seems that every time we go through one of these, one of the arguments is either that we really need new staff members or that we don't. The decision for these is to be made purely on the abilities of the runner, not on the status of the wiki. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 19:28, 1 January 2018 (EST) | |||
#'''Regretful oppose''' I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, and my read on you is that you would be helpful as an administrator, but that you may allow your emotions leak through and ultimately prevent you from doing the right thing or getting the job done. I would like to make a few points: | #'''Regretful oppose''' I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, and my read on you is that you would be helpful as an administrator, but that you may allow your emotions leak through and ultimately prevent you from doing the right thing or getting the job done.

#*Conflict moderation is probably both the single most important and hardest part of the job. If you yourself are not confident in your ability to settle disputes peacefully, then you're not right for the job, at least not yet. | #*Conflict moderation is probably both the single most important and hardest part of the job.
