A request for adminship (RfA), is a process in which the community helps a bureaucrat decide whether or not to give a user Sysop rights. This is done by a vote tally as well as arguements as to why or why not the user in question is suited for sysop rights.

Creating an RfA

A RfA should not be started for:

  • People that have not made clear acceptance on their talk page after being notifyed of their nomination.
  • IP/Anonymous users.
  • Someone who has a RfA already active.
  • Someone who has had an unsuccessful RfA within the past month.
  • A user that is not in good standing (is currently blocked, or has been blocked within the past month. Duration of the block must be more than 24 hours.).

To create a RfA:

  • If any past RfA's have not already been archived, archive the RfA(s). To do this, simly move the page to Guild Wars Guilds:Requests for adminship/Username/Archive 1 (for increase the number by one for each RfA).
  • Use the box below to create the RfA page. Replace "USERNAME" with the username of the person you are creating the RfA for.

  • Add the page to the list of current RfA's below.

Support, Oppose, & Neutral

While an RfA is active you may add your support, oppose, or neutral vote under the correct sections on the RfA page. You should also provide a reason why you are supporting or opposing (reasons are not required for neutral votes); votes in the support/oppose area that do not have a reason will not be counted in the vote tally. Do not make personal attacks in your reasonings; always keep your criticism constructive.

Closing an RfA

RfA's that have been created in the correct fashion can be ended in one of these ways:

  • User in question withdraws.
  • User in question is blocked for more than 24 hours while the RfA is active.
  • After an RfA has been active for more than 7 days a bureaucrat will tally the votes and read over all reasonings. The bureaucrat will then make a decision based on the vote tally and the reasonings. A bureaucrat may increase the time of an RfA to 14 days is he/she feels it is necessary.

The bureaucrat that makes the decision should place a notice on the page informing others that it has been closed.
