Arch0wl for re-admin 2013 (serious)

[Arch0wl]

Before you read even another word of what I'm writing here, make note of this:

- This is not a request for permanent adminship. This is a request for a 20-day trial adminship where I perform several functions I've wanted to do for a while without having to constantly pester the existing admins with back-and-forth. If you like the work I've done in that period, you can keep me as an admin. Otherwise, de-admin me and return to normal.

That said.

I used to be an administrator of FFR so I am familiar with the forum software.

The forum is in need of several reorganizations, among them:

* Reorganization of sticky threads

* Forums and subforum relabeling

* Forum sequence shuffling according to use

* Creation of new forums (I know what software you're using, this is not a hassle at all)

* Consulting with regular posters

* Updating titles

* Giving users distinctions for activities that better represent their status in the community

etc.

The primary concern with admin rights is abuse of power, which I am keenly aware of. While my admin tenure was nearly a decade ago (I was 15-16 as an admin; I turn 25 in a week), I never made deletions of forums and always consulted with higher-ups (Synthlight) if I felt a major thread or even a forum needed to be deleted. This was never that necessary, though, because I respected FFR's policy of wanting to keep a historical record/archive. Further, given that so much of my history is on this forum, it's an incentive for me to preserve it -- not remove it. So, you can be certain that any admin worries you may have about unnecessary deletions of content should be pushed aside. That won't happen. I am requesting adminship for purely functional purposes.

If you have any concerns in light of what I've written, I'll be happy to answer them here.

Respectfully,
Arch
