::Its not about whether or not you work hard, its about whether or not you'd be good with admin powers, if you understand the responsibilities, etc. If working hard was all that was needed, just about everyone on gwiki would be sysops. --[[User:Warwick]] 22:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC) | ::Its not about whether or not you work hard, its about whether or not you'd be good with admin powers, if you understand the responsibilities, etc. If working hard was all that was needed, just about everyone on gwiki would be sysops. --[[User:Warwick]] 22:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC) | ||
:::A sysop who doesn't work hard shouldn't be a sysop. It's a qualification. I'm not going to defend what Randall did, but I was trying to establish that has merit as a sysop. He's the only professional who works on the wiki, and that is extremely valuable to our legitimacy and to our content.

::::While hard work is a ''a'' qualification, it's not the only qualification, nor is it the most important. Common sense, level-headedness, patience, etc. are infinitely more important. – [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 22:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
::<small>edit conflict</small>Working hard doesn't mean that someone is deserving of sysophood. I've spent (literally) hours typing out single responses to things. Easy work? No. Should I be sysopped? (It'd make my life easier, but it won't happen.) Working hard makes it seem like sysophood is a reward for good work, which multiple admins (and common sense) say it isn't. If Silverdragon, Charitwo, Dtm and C-Hawk have been as fantastic as you say, they should have nothing to worry about. --[[User:Shadowcrest|<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest</font>]] 22:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC) | ::<small>edit conflict</small>Working hard doesn't mean that someone is deserving of sysophood.

:::That's flawed reasoning. You assume everyone will vote based on that. Right now, the voters are angry, and there is potential for a coup. There could be a real problem if we do this.
