Administrator rights for Drjuki
 

Drjuki has requested I talk it over with the forum as to whether or not he is able to have administrator access. What do the people think?

I don't think it's a good idea to give out admin rights to someone who asks for them. And Drjuki has only been with us for just under a year without a notable high amount of contribution.

But what do I know...

I wasn't with IMFDB in the beginning. I actually don't remember how I got admin powers. I think I was just asked to

That's what I'm iffy about, that he's asking for it. In the beginning I got my admin rights just by doing enough work that they gave me the power eventually. He appears to be a trust-worthy member but his contributions are small so far (a few video games and some small edits here and there) and since he has no method of adding screencaps right now because his dad hates the site, it's not likely he'll be a major contributor for a while.

Maybe no, maybe so, I'm not sure myself.

Oh and Excalibur01, I think you asked for your admin. rights way back when to Matt, not 100% sure though.

Maybe you should put him through a probationary period to see how he uses the powers, if possible

Wait a sec....Isn't Drjuki that really young guy (like 10-11 yrs old)?

So I assume his dad is anti-gun since he saids his dad doesn't like this site

That is a bit too young to trust. 15 maybe or if he's some boy genius. I think you need to have the ability to properly screencap. That should be a requirement and that you do a set amount of pages, and do them WELL, before consideration. I mean, look at the other admins, me including and see how many pages we've had under our belts.

I've never even heard of him. People requesting mod/admin powers shouldn't be allowed, it leaves the system open to being gamed by people who might want to screw with us. On top of that what would be gained from making him an admin? He's a semidecent contributor, so what? There are other better, more prolific contributors and they're just fine as that. They're not clamoring for power and the site goes on just the same.

Final point, he's a kid. Really, a child should not have any authority over anything. He might be ok now doing minor edits, but give him some power and he'll do something stupid eventually.

Seriously. I've been here for awhile and they don't trust me with shit (there's probably a good reason for it though)

I don't want to be an adminstrator because I couldn't care less.
