Hey Milo Murphy's Law Wiki goers. Vozhan brought up the idea to demote Andi Cruz, Djahuti, and Curious Poker Chip from their places as admins as they have been inactive for a while. I'd like to hear what everyone's opinion is on the matter before I take action.

I nominate Serendipitacely for the position of Admin, and he has accepted this nomination.
In my opinion, Serendipitacely has been an incredibly active member of the community (for what it's worth, third in the wiki in terms of the badge leaderboards and number of edits), has been proactive in heading up major changes that have benefited the wiki, and has shown the traits associated with being an admin.

What requirements someone needs to become an administrator can be found on the Administrator page. This page also has some details of an admin's job and powers and also a lay out for the nomination and voting process that I'm following.
For a more succinct summery of what a voter has to do, here's an introduction to voting by our founder ThePokémonGamer.
To summarize the summery, vote accordingly using these templates:

{{Support}}

<noscript></noscript> Support -

{{Oppose}}

<noscript></noscript> Oppose -

Feel free to ask for any clarification of the process. It has been a while since we did this democratically because we admins like to rule with an iron fist. (kidding, I can only speak for myself :P)

Thank you all for the ongoing support you've shown in these past few months. As I stated before, I have done a lot of research and have chosen two users to promote to Admin.
I realize that normally promotions are done with the support of the community, however, we have an immediate need and there is a lot to do.
Assuming they accept, I have decided to give Admin privileges to User:PhinFerbFan5 and User:Curious Poker Chip.
They both have done thorough work here and on other wikis and have been clear and open with the rest of the respective communities about why they make the edits they make. Also, I have no doubt they will be swift and direct with me if they feel I'm over doing it, or underdoing it, or what have you.
Anyone who disagrees with these promotions are encouraged to state your cases here on this thread.
Of coarse there are many other things to discuss and over the next few days I will be starting other threads to discuss where we go from here.
Now, as my first official act as Bureaucrat, I'm restoring the old background theme.

Apparently, I can only upload a background picture from my hard drive and not from the .jpg's stored on the wiki, so I made a snap decision and picked one that was from an episode and didn't have any in your face images.

Request for Demotion The following is an ongoing demotion request. Please feel free to voice your opinion. You can use any of the following prior to your comments to show your opinion. {{Support}} - use this if you support the request. {{Neutral}} - use this if you are neutral to the request. {{Oppose}} - use this if you oppose the request.

Request for Bureaucrat The following is an ongoing bureaucrat request. Please feel free to voice your opinion. You can use any of the following prior to your comments to show your opinion. {{Support}} - use this if you support the request. {{Neutral}} - use this if you are neutral to the request. {{Oppose}} - use this if you oppose the request.

I am making this thread to introduce the user rights board. Here, if you want to talk about promoting someone to a user group, or if you want to talk about removing some of their user groups, this is the place to go.

For promotions, users must need a good amount of edits, have high experience with editing on the wiki, have not been blocked before (unfair illegitimate blocks don't count) and the users will vote on whether or not the candidate is going to be in the user group they were nominated for.

For demotion, you must state why the user should be demoted (if they're abusing their rights or if they use the rights to vandalize like deleting necessary pages, or if they're inactive just so the user list doesn't, like, for example, if you choose to check the administrators section, there won't be inactive user accounts there). If agreed upon, the user will be demoted.

To vote, use the templates {{Support}} and {{Oppose}} which will generate the following templates:

<noscript></noscript> Support -
Oppose -

Spam votes from people who use multiple accounts to re-cast their vote (this action is called sock puppetry), those votes will not be considered toward the final decision and the duplicate accounts used for spam votes will be blocked forever.

If someone is nominated for a user group and the final result is them being promoted, a bureaucrat is going to promote that user.

A user cannot nominate themselves, and if they use a sock puppet to do so, they will be found out and the sock puppet account will be blocked indefinitely.
