This is the page for nominating sysops for SmashWiki. If you don't know what a sysop is, the FAQ has some information about the job, and you can also find a full list of current sysops.

Here are the rules for nominating sysops:

  • Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
  • All new nominees should post their name below as a new page header (i.e. ==Username==). Underneath, the user should state why he would like to become a sysop, and why he thinks he would be fit for the job. Posting examples of notable work that the nominee has contributed is highly encouraged. The nominee should be sure to sign this post.
  • Users who wish to support, oppose, or comment on the nomination may do so by using bullet points underneath the original post (newer bullets toward the bottom). To be clear, this is not a vote, and this is not a democratic process. Although the views of the user community are important and will be taken into account in the final decision, the decision will ultimately be up to the current sysop team and Smash World leadership.
  • After sufficient time has passed to allow all sysops who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made among the sysops as to whether or not the nomination will succeed. If the nomination succeeds, a bureaucrat will make the nominee a sysop. If not, a sysop will close discussion on the nominee. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
  • Nominations will be open on an ongoing basis for the time being. In the future, however, nominations may only be open for prescribed periods of time. This page will be protected if nominations are not being accepted.
Place new nominations below, newer nominations at the bottom of the page.
