:[[SmashWiki:Assume good faith]] applies when there is no evidence to be found to the contrary. AGF does '''''not''''' apply when there is reason to suspect otherwise. Judging by comments and the like here and elsewhere, I have been forced to revise my position of support for miles. While the argument "you'll never know until..." is technically true, one can typically predict fairly accurately how well a user will handle the sysop position. Again, I have judged what I've seen of the candidates and voted accordingly. Imo, people need to stop voting because the candidate is nice or because they're a friend, because that's a terrible reason. After all, unless you're a psychic, don't tell me they'll make a good sysop despite evidence to the contrary. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3">[[User:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">Shadow</font>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">crest</font>]]</font> 15:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

::Well, I can't force you to support, but I can suggest that you assume good faith in others more often.  This talk is over, the page is getting too long.  '''[[User:Cheezperson|<span style="color:gold">Cheez</span><span style="color:red">person</span>]]''' {[[User talk:Cheezperson|<span style="color:steelblue">talk</span>]]}[[Special:Contributions/Cheezperson|<span style="color:silver">stuff</span>]]''' 20:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

:::RfAs exist to produce discussion which in turn advises the bcrat of what the public feels and helps to judge the candidate, so your "too long" argument is not valid. Additionally, I must assume you missed my entire last post or just tl;dr'd it, because you basically ignored everything I said about when to and when not to assume good faith :<  --<font face="vivaldi" size="3">[[User:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">Shadow</font>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">crest</font>]]</font> 21:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
