User blog:KerryKoopa26/Want to become an Admin? *Guidelines*

To tell you the truth, it's kinda lonely being the only admin around here. Plus, if I ever leave, our wiki will be a leaderless place once more. :(

So, I'm giving you the option to actually become an admin! Because I'm a bureaucrat as well. However, there are strict rules, knowing that there are serious hardcore trolls on this wiki.

To become an admin, you:

 * Need to have a registered, autoconfirmed account.


 * Need to have made a good number of helpful article edits. This number should be over 100, but the final decision of whether your number's enough will be made by me. I can check your contributions to see if you qualify.


 * Must NOT have made ANY troll edits. You are automatically disqualified from adminship if you have made even one. If your account was hacked, still no grace, because that troll can have access to your adminship. If you claim to have been reformed from trolling, make a new account, follow the above requirements, and then we'll talk.


 * To clear up confusion: If you've made enough article edits on one account, lose access to it, then make another account and request adminship, I can't accept. I don't know if someone else made that account and is lying. You'll have to do those edits all over again. Sorry. :(


 * Should come on regularly. At least once a week is good enough for me.

And here's the important part:


 * You need to submit a typed, 5-paragraph persuasive essay about why you are responsible enough for the job. It needs to have a introductory paragraph, 3 body paragraphs explaining 3 reasons (1 reason per paragraph), and a concluding paragraph. It can be informal, like you're writing it to your best friend. It doesn't need to be A-worthy, but it must have correct grammar, capitalization, and spelling. Typos are no excuse, because being an admin means being able to check your work, or an article for errors. I'm sorry I'm being so harsh, but it's for security purposes.
 * If it does have errors, I'll simply ask you to revise/proofread it and post the revised link.
 * It can be on my talk page, on a blog post, or a link to an external word processor such as Google Docs. If you do it other than directly on my talk page, please post a link on my talk page along with your adminship request.

To become a bureaucrat, you:

 * Need to already have been an admin for about a month, and demonstrated that you can be responsible with your power. See above for requirements.

Wanna go for admin? Good luck. You'll need it. If you're going to hate me for this, go right ahead. Spam my talk page. I don't care. All I'm saying is that unless I get some serious convincing, I'm not gonna change this.
 * Need to submit another persuasive essay. It needs to be in a formal-ish format, with introductory paragraph containing hook, topic sentence, and 3 main ideas; 3 body paragraphs explaining those main ideas; and a concluding paragraph restating those main ideas. It needs to have correct grammar, capitalizaiton, and spelling. It needs to be worthy of an A. Pretend like you're writing it for your language arts teacher. It's much harsher for bureaucrat status because I can't take it away. Making you a bureaucrat is a great risk.
 * If you have no idea what I'm talking about, research it. If you won't bother to even do a simple Google search, you're clearly not ready for the position.
