Please. Please please PLEASE. Read the entire dang thing before voting. This matters so much, you have no idea. Please. Don't even THINK about scrolling down to vote before you've read this top to bottom...
This is my first time running for any position of power without the moderators just saying "hey, you seem like you're up to the task, wanna be a mod?" so please bear with me here.
I'm running for Rollback rights.
Currently, here's how I feel personally. I don't have a grasp on what I am really, so note this may be biased... All that really goes through with me is negativity, sans a few things close friends and family tell me about how I matter and such. So... Please take the negative stuff I say to myself with a grain of salt, okay? I know it's not exactly me, more than it is people interpreting a troubled, lost soul of sorts. But I know I'd say it anyways.
Pros:
+ Most importantly, I have moderation experience (most importantly, moderating the subreddits /r/fnafcringe, and /r/OsamuSato.)
+ I know how to put up with spam and the likes.
+ I've been told to be really nice and get stuff once I get to know people, so once I know the others and can feel safe near them, I'd probably be very effective.
+ I'm very active (I try to fit in at least 1 legitimate edit a day) and often lurk a lot.
+ I've previously benefitted the wiki by getting Template:Unused created.
+ Will remove kebab by Summer-- wait, that's not right.
Cons?:
These may be biased, but I don't know... Just... take it with a grain of salt, please.
- I have Autism, specifically, Aspergers Syndrome. It's low-functioning, and highly debatable if that is a con or a pro. I'll just leave it as con because it's all I've really been told...
- I have nigh-crippling social anxiety. If someone came up to me and asked about rollbacks, I'd probably quiver and struggle to say anything, but I would do it... I'm also incredibly shy. Like, Shrinking Violet is literally a buff brave man (don't ask how) compared to me.
- I simply cannot suffice on my own. I need others to be there for me for me to really do stuff properly, much less effectively. Without others, I kinda get loopy/moody...
- I'm not exactly the best at telling an okay or just flat out "eh, it's passable" edit from a bad edit. I can obviously look at an edit changing a page to read something like "Lighthouse Flower is a total jot fool who cannot malt steal memes" and say, "oh, that's a vandal, rollback it", but for others, I'm not the best. I'd probably have to leave others to rollback the more complex/arguably vandal edits.
- I've been told I'm not exactly the best editor... I still make mistakes like a regular human being, but it still really hurts to see a moderator come up to me and say "you're doing it wrong", because considering how sensitive I am... Even the nicest tone, it comes off as "HOW DDDDDARE YOU. YOU ARE A HORRIBLE EDIT BLABLABLA UR A KEBABA 0/5 DESERVES TO DIE IN THE PITS OF HELL ALONG WITH OCTOPUS ZOMBIE" in my brain...
- I'm... Bad at taking criticism. Not in the way like, "OMG HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME GO DIE I AM BEST", but more "oh..." as it just stings me even more, reinforcing my poor self-esteem which has had at least a dozen walls of text dedicated to ruining it already...
- As obviously demonstrated from the entire Cons section being larger and more biased against me... I'm kind of a lost, struggling soul, who thinks poorly of himself. I have a lot more negative thoughts about myself than positive ones, and some of them probably aren't even issues/cons more than they are "everybody's done that at least once, it's not that worrying or bad."
So, closing stuff? Maybe?
I'm personally conflicted on if I should be rollback myself. Against my better judgement, I'm going to leave it up to you guys to decide on if I deserve rollback status. I cannot judge properly for myself, because of the amount of bias against me... I can obviously understand if you oppose it, but... I can't judge myself. You'll have to help me, really...
