Gares Redstorm[edit]

This request is for the reconfirmation of User:Gares Redstorm (talkcontribs).
Created by — Gares 02:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Result[edit]

Successful. 19:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Candidate statement[edit]

This is a voluntary reconfirmation request of my sysop status, in advance of the reconfirmation timeline that is still being established. The grandfathered sysops helped this wiki bridge the gap of needing someone in that position in its early stages. Now that this wiki community has RFA’d its own sysops, I voluntarily place myself up for reconfirmation.

As with the other grandfathered sysops, your opinions for what's best for Guild Wars Wiki is all that matters. — Gares 02:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  8. Support. Too switched on not to be an admin. --Xasxas256 13:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  9. Exteme lesbian support, strangely enough per Karlos' opposing vote. I think a "harsh" admin is really what we need, since most times when an IP or a user asks to have their ban lifted, saying, they'll actually contribute next time around, they simply vandalise again. Gares' statement on dealing with Kougar were perfectly justified. Why should the wiki have to even pretend to be nice to someone who violated GWW:NPA so many times like that? The more firm an admin in their actions, the better. --Santax (talk · contribs) 16:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  10. Moderate Straight Support. Tough, but with the vandal rate on the wiki currently, we need that one big though guy watching the door. HeWhoIsPale 13:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  11. Not going to top that - support. -- CoRrRan (CoRrRan / talk) 17:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  12. Nice guy, no problems. -- Gem (gem / talk) 21:31, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Oppose[edit]

  1. See Barek.--§ Eloc § 09:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  2. I think Gares is the harshest admin we have. He has a pretty judgemental and confrontational way of dealing with offenders that I have always not liked. When he played the game and frequented the wiki more, he did a lot of good to counter balance his harshness, but now that he logs on from time to time I am concerned this issue will come to the forefront. For an example, see his comments in dealing with User:J.Kougar at this section. --Karlos 16:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Request for Reconfirmation[edit]

  1. Last edit by this sysop. There are enough active SySops. Why keep inactive SySops? User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png DrogoBoffin 00:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
  2. Has not used sysop tools for almost a year, nor has taken part in a wiki-related discussion for almost the same amount of time. Heck, the last time he took part on one was to defend his right to stay as sysop just because.--Fighterdoken 19:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
  3. per above Loves to Sync 21:05, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
  4. The voluntary request seems to imply he does not need or want sysop tools anymore. ~Shard User Shard Sig Icon.png 07:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
