Just a hypothetical
All this praise.. I'm wondering if Soap is now feeling pressured to live up to these lofty expectations of perfection. If and when he actually DOES make a minor screw-up it'll probably come as a shock to everyone get blown out of proportion! -- Ϫ 03:56, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- I can't speak for others, but I certainly wouldn't hold it against him if he made a mistake. Everyone screws up sometimes, no matter how good they are. The Blade of the Northern Lights (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'll type up a thank-you statement on my talk page after the RfA is over; as for meeting people's expectations, I don't think anyone's expecting me to be perfect, but I will be very careful. —Soap— 17:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Discussion regarding WarthogDemon's support
- You have, at amazing speed, surpassed my very hard requirements for an AUTOMATIC SUPPORT (Those requirements being, having over 100 supports and NEVER - even temporarily - having any opposes or neutrals.) -WarthogDemon 01:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well that's moronic. So your standards are that other people like the person? Ironholds (talk) 01:32, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well I'm sure that there is a very low chance that all of those one hundred people are completely wrong that a user deserves adminship. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 02:33, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- It would be moronic if that was the only way I'd ever support, but such is not the case. If there are over 100 supports and never any opposes or neutrals, I'm not going to search for any cons or any reasons not to support. Since, as SuperHamster says, if 100 people don't find concerns than it's unlikely I will. If a member doesn't meet those "standards" I may still support, it's just then that I browse through the contributions and base my judgment on that. Now, I do hope that what I just typed isn't chock-full of run-on sentences... -WarthogDemon 03:16, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- You should seriously review the candidate for yourself and make up your own mind. Blindly supporting because of the nominator or because of other supporters is very dangerous and it's exactly the type of !voting that helped a certain banned user get through RfA. It is entirely possible that the 100 people voting before you missed something or didn't even bother to do a review because they trusted the nominator or the other people supporting. I don't want to say that it's moronic, but I do think it's very dangerous and I think you should review candidates yourself and make up your own mind (or not take a position at all). RfAs have got high support only to then swing around when a later user brings something to attention but if everyone was voting automatically after 100 supports those things wouldn't come to light until too late.

- I did not intend to start a dispute on here, nor do I think this is one, but apparently I have made myself seem more reckless than I actually am. I do indeed review candidates, and the circumstances of which I just blindly support almost never happen. But just to make sure, I decided to check through the archives to see how many admins in the past that would include. Out of 1000+ RFAs, the number of Admins who've had +100 supports, and never at any point had neutrals or opposes is: 9. That's less than 1%. Anyways, I'll stop debating this, as I don't want to spam this editor's page with this. I apologize if I come across as reckless and I want to assure you I do things with care. Honestly, with the majority of RFAs I look at, I usually find myself unable to make my mind. -WarthogDemon 05:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
