Really, how do I become a Admin here? Don't say that I have to clean out the shithouse. 205.240.144.214 22:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

For starters, get an account. For the main course, don't ask to become one. -- TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK 23:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll set you us as one now....just give me a minute. -- Sir Mhaille

I heard you have to be cool and sexy. ~ ★ БурекСП ★^{★ талк ★}_{★ контриб ★} 23:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You have to clean out yhe shithouse. ~

Anonymous IPs cannot be admins. In fact, they aren't even people. They are just numbers. --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN) 00:24, May. 3, 2008

These people are all incorrect. All you have to do is give me a blowjob. You want ops? On your knees, bitch. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 01:01, May 3

I heard you have to be eaten by a Grue first. Well, I guess he has already :D Mistress of the Clow ~ Cardcaptor Stacey

Grues don't eat me. I eat grues. I'm just like Chuck Norris's Trainer. 205.240.144.214 22:01, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

First you need to get the Admins attention, they never read forum posts, you know. Here is an article on how to get their attention it seems to work for most users. Then when you got their attention, be sure and beg them a lot to promote you to Admin. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

First you create an account. Then, you stare at Special:Recentchanges looking for vandalism, vanity, poor writing, etc. You then take the appropriate action to remove said vandalism, vanity, poor writing, etc. If you continue this for about 6 months strait, someone might nominate you for adminship. If enough people have heard of you, which the only way to do is to converse with others here. They might vote for you. To make sure they vote for you, you have to make them like you, this is the most difficult part, since if becoming an admin on an internet community you're not a part of is high enough on your priority list to justify 6 months of staring at recent changes, you have no social skills and will have a hard time making people like you.

Point is, you shouldn't be thinking about adminship when you don't even have an account. Get an account, write something funny, go get some sun, for Christ's sake. Life should be fun, being an admin is a job, it's not fun. Unless you think power is fun, in which case you shouldn't be an admin. --

Hey I've done that and I've had an account here since 2005. I didn't get voted in as Admin or even nominated for Admin. What did I do wrong? Other than being Batshit Insane, I mean? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 05:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Your lack of cool and sexy has greatly hindered your rise to power. The failure of your Beerhall Putsch didn't help. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh I thought it might be my lack of social skills because I am a Computer Geek? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 14:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

That clearly matters not, little padawan.~~ S i r Ljlego , GUN [talk] 15:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

You need an admin-worthy name -- and come on, who would want an admin named Orion Blastar? "Oh, mighty Orion Blastar, help me write an article that is not incredibly gay!" Doesn't sound right, does it? * F l u m p a

20:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Well George W. Bush Jr., Chuck Norris, and Shaft were already taken so I picked Orion Blastar. Maybe I can create a sockpuppet account and get that one adminned, any suggestions? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 03:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

How do you avoid becoming an Admin here ???

Seriously though, you do not want to be an admin. You think that you want to be an admin but, take it from someone that knows, you don't. If you don't believe me, feel free to try to ask any of the huge number of former admins that don't do much around here anymore. Take a look at the attrition rate; it's worse than the attrition rate for corporate lawyers. Being an admin is a thankless task where people constantly complain that requires constant vigilance and pays only in complaints from other users. If there were a way that I could get back my pre-admin naivety back, I would; seriously, you do not want to be an admin; be a regular user, contribute, have fun. --Sir gwax (talk) 21:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, be a regular user. Being an admin to me is just being a user with extra buttons. That's how I keep my sanity around here. And I made myself promise that whenever it stopped being fun, I'd stop being here. It's a wiki, a diversion, a hobby. Uncyclopedia != life.~~ S i r Ljlego , GUN [talk] 22:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I did what Lj did. So far, it's still fun. Not the adminning tasks, of course. Most of them are really just a minor annoyance, though; it's the sheer volume that can get old. Still I think I knew what I was getting into when I saw my name on VFS. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 22:28, May 4

Nowadays I just need admin stuff to edit protected pages. Deleting and banning got boring so I stopped doing it. I'm cool, so I can get away with it. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 23:03, 04 May 2008

Pick a name like Orion Blastar, works for me. I'll never be admin with that name. :( --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 03:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Major admin name change

In that case, we need to change several admins' names. Let's do the math:

TheLedBalloon

No seriously? Oh Noes! It's the scary balloon coming to deal with us! Let's run away!!!'. Not going to work. I suggest:

TheGraphVonZepplin piss him off, and he will crash on your head.
How about "Leddy the Crunch." I've always wanted a mob nickname. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 22:29, May 4
- In fact: - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, n y a h !) 23:00, May 4

Ljlego

It's LJLEGO THE CRIME FIGHTER! or is it? How about:

Lord L.J. Grusome Master of the night?
Doctor Charlton Leeuwin "Legs" Jackson, Ph.D <--Makes me feel specialful
Larry "Nunchucks" Legolo. He'll fuck you up with his plastic stud-covered nunchucks. * F l u m p a 20:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Mhaille

Too wiccan. You need something like:

MyHell. He will put you there should you mess up the site.
MyIllness. He'll infect you if you don't get the fuck out. * F l u m p a 20:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes yes, hit the road Jack, and don't come back. Or maybe...

Needs more pun.

Ar-Mordillo. See what I did there? Huh? Heh? Hey! Come back! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

That's so absolutely terrible I laughed

Overall

Just look at it this way: Admins have obligations. You don't. If you think you can handle the obligations, then continue on your quest. If not, the door is over there. * F l u m p a 20:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, that's the door to the mens room. It smells in there. Smells bad. An admin made that smell. Administrative rights rots you on the inside. The outside, too. Even the boundary layer between these two sides turns a little rancid, due to the soul killing effects of adminhood. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:00, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

That's not admin stench. That's my pet grue. He got into the cheese puffs again. * F l u m p a
