Thinkaboutthisname's Nomination
Username:: Thinkaboutthisname.

I have 56 stories!

I think Sparrowsong is a really great admin. Even though I've never met her in real life, I can still say that she's my BFF. I swear we were sisters in a past life and she is so nice! She's probably one of the best authors I've ever met and she will be famous and rich. She is really really understanding and helpful. We get along as well as tight sisters (cough AmberandVianna coughcough)!

I think this site is the best thing that ever happened to me! I love it with most of my heart and I don't know where I'd be without it! I thank my curiosity for coming across it. It has really helped me in more way than one. You have no idea how happy I am that Sparrowsong created this Wiki.

I think I should be an admin because... I say I have the skills and I'm pretty nice. I'm a good author and I'm usually pretty calm about situations that are a little sticky. It would nearly make my life to become an admin. Or at least, my present life. And if I don't get it, so be it. But really, I think I should be the vice-admin because well, I've been here some time and I think I could help the site. Not saying that other's can't but I probably can too.

Compared to Fanfiction.net this place is ten million thousand gajillion times better! I've only heard about it, but from what I've heard, it's got more Mary-Sues, Flamers, and overall dickheads than anyone would ever want. I never want to experience it and never have. I consider myself lucky for this reason.

I get along great with other people on this site! To name a few, they are, ZephyrX9, Warboss56, Leafwhisker, and nearly everyone else! I may not have spoken to them yet, but I know they're great people.

True, I know what Code Spaghetti is. It is the warning for if Aish Sheva/Sheva Das/Sister Grimm Erin comes on this site and starts to troll around and starts to be a vandil!

True, I know what Code Music is. It is the warning for moderate trolls. Like, Honest101, ZoeNightshade, to name a few. And Ashleyzoo. They would start trolling!!!!

Votes
Vote by saying "I think it should be _____________." Just so it's anonymous, log out before you vote.

I vote for ZephyrX9 and Leafwhisker - ******** = )

Forget it. This is going nowhere. Let's just do a poll. Sparrowsong 21:58, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Whoever gets the most votes by the weekend will be the new admin. The other two will have rollback rights.

Admin Poll
Who should be the new admin? Leafwhisker Thinkaboutthisname ZephyrX9 Okay, poll closed. I have won. --ZephyrX9 18:28, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Leafwhisker's Nomination
Username: Leafwhisker

I have 37 stories.

I think Sparrowsong is a fantastic admin. I already knew her from WWiki and WFWiki so we knew each other pretty well.

I think the site is great!

Compared to fanfiction.net, this site this is better anyday, those flamers over there fail life.

I think I should be admin because I'm good with helping people and I'd LOVE to stop flamers to keep this site as nice as possible.

I get along great with other people.

I know what Code Spaghetti is: True

I know what Code Music is: True -Leafwhisker 12:57, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if this will get read, but in response to the recently added second point...
[Also, sorry for posting this here if I'm not supposed to. Technically this IS the discussion page for changes to the main page, though, and I couldn't help it...]

>>"Despite what some biased people may tell you, there is no difference between trolling and flaming."

Actually, there IS a difference. You've obviously never experienced proper trolling if you don't know the difference. (For "proper trolling" try ebaums or 4chan. Or, better yet, don't, just let someone experienced save you from the trauma of doing so below.)

Trolling is intentionally baiting in hopes of getting a passionate response, generally negative. It is often done "for teh lulz". Trolling does not HAVE to consist of insults, though; it may simply consist of controversial points of view supporting one side in an attempt to evoke emotion (see "cut vs uncut" debates, Mac vs PC, etc.); it also often consists of copypasta [really repetitive copy-and-paste stories].

Flaming is PURPOSEFULLY INSULTING someone, generally the author or artist of a work but often on a post. It is normally targeted at a specific person; for a message or critique to be considered a flame, the writer of the "flame" must insult the author/creator/poster. If there is no direct insult towards the person, it is NOT considered a flame.

On that topic, MANY users in the fan world mistake proper constructive criticism with flaming. Example:

"I hate to have to say it, but this story needs major work. The characters REEK of Mary Sue - her eyes chance color, she's the next great demigod, she's the daughter of Artemis who has been a maiden for thousands of years and has sworn never to have children, she's got three middle names, and she's more powerful than the original PJO characters put together. Let's not even talk about the fact that all of the male leads have fallen for her, bar the ones you hate, and all of the female leads are jealous. The spelling and grammar is atrocious. PLEASE get yourself a beta reader, the site has plenty of good ones that are easy to find. I would also suggest taking this down, at least until you've had more experience, because it yells bad!fic a mile away."

^ This would NOT be considered a flame, because it does NOT personally insult the author. Add this line - "You should seriously give up writing, because it's obvious you'll never be able to improve; the fandom doesn't need even more garbage like this polluting it!" - to the review, and it DOES become a flame.

I'm only pointing this out, because I've put hours of my time into reading and reviewing stories, writing long, tedious reviews in which I correct and give solutions to the twenty or thirty MAJOR problems a single fic may have, and I've gotten responses such as "shut teh f*ck up, no1 lyks u && u cnt rite." Which wouldn't be so bad, if they're friends didn't then start harassing and revenge flaming me.

[Oh, and using the Megan case may not be all too strong of a point, for the record. An Heroes aren't really respected, unless the topic is whether or not someone should An Hero.] LemonFairy 00:41, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

'*Shrugs* I guess I'll change it, then. You see, I hate flamers because I was flamed myself. Yes, it did use a line similar to the one you mentioned. I guess the trolls I've run into must have really been flamers, then. I just wanted to point out that flaming wasn't CCing. Sparrowsong 00:45, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Poll
LOL, 4 people think Daphne's a bitch. XD I find that funny. -Leafwhisker 02:28, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

I think they're just trolls. That is kinda funny, though. Sparrowsong 02:35, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

It's probably because there's not an option for "I disliked the story" or such without the "Daphne's a bitch" tagged on. LemonFairy 02:48, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

I know they'are trolls, but it still makes me laugh everytime I see it. -Leafwhisker 02:49, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

FTP rules. Whoever said that must be a total idiot. That, or we have a Code Spaghetti on our hands. Sparrowsong 02:51, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

I know, I'm really proud of FTP. =) And normally flames don't really have an effect on me, I laugh it off. -Leafwhisker 02:53, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

[And so, I point up to my post.] LemonFairy 02:57, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

For every jerk that voted for "I hate it! Daphne is a stupid bitch!" there's at least 5 people that loved it, I'm totally sure. Including me. Sparrowsong 03:00, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, most likely. -Leafwhisker 03:05, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

ZephyrX9...?
Has he quit or not, I'm really confused! Demi titan  21:02, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
