- GOD, people are going to hate me for this.

I posted this same response on the last post, not knowing this one just existed. I'll put it here too why I oppose...

I still slightly disagree about how administrators are going to be promoted. I agree with all of the procedures above, but I am still hesitant about a few points.


 * We should eliminate the amount of edits made on the wiki COMPLETELY - not just lower it. The number of edits that a user makes still is nothing compared to how beneficial a user is.  When administrators and users are deciding whether a person should become admin, helpfulness is already accounted for.
 * During nomination, receiving all votes from admins seem kind of hard. Some admins, including me, aren't really active at times.  And maybe everyone loves a user except for one admin after a drama.  Then that should stop the person from becoming an admin?
 * Being blocked less than twice (I know I'm going to get a lot of haters here) is kind of mean from being an admin. It is entirely possible that a user gets a change of mind and starts contributing after two times of spamming a few pages.  Things change.  What I recommend is "never getting blocked for at least 1 year."
 * If sockpuppeting is observed for voters, all votes from the person who sockpuppeted is deemed invalid and should receive a block. If the person who tries to run for administrator is caught sockpuppeting, the thread will be closed  and the person should receive a block(which means he/she will NOT get admin for at least a year).

By the way, what the Plants vs. Zombies wiki has is a nomination branch in the forums section labeled as "Requests for User Rights Management Branch." Users themselves will post on the forum stating that he/she wishes to become an administrator. After a 10-15 week voting period, if a person gets at least a 2/3 supporting rate (neutral does not count), the person gets promoted.

This way is simpler, and it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
