So here's my take on the whole "road to admin" thing. First of all, go through [[User:Serpent King/Qualifications|this]] and think about how you would answer each of these questions. Be totally honest with yourself. Second, consider completely what the job entails. A lot of people are under the assumption that adminship entails blocking the vandals and deleting the BS, but in reality, it is much more than that. You have to be fully ready to jump into and settle disputes, have to be constantly willing to help users when they need it, and have to be the ones to police the site as effectively as possible. On that note, yes we do block vandals and delete BS, but it is rarely so black-and-white. The userbase for this wiki is not separated into 2 categories (good, solid contributors and clear cut vandals), and it's the ones that lie somewhere in the middle that are the most difficult to sort out. Same goes for deletions. All I am trying to say here is that a lot of thought must be put into submitting an RfA. You must question if you are ready and willing to take the job at all, and if the answer is even slightly "no", it's best not to submit the RfA at all. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:12pt">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">King</span>]]'''</span> 23:26, 16 June 2016 (EDT) | So here's my take on the whole "road to admin" thing.
