User blog comment:Princess Callie/Becoming an Admin/@comment-24821182-20140622192921

I'm going to take a wild guess and say most of the new people who ask you if they can become admins are the same ones who edit just for the points. They don't care about using the rights for the good of the wiki, but merely because having power gives them a hard-on and leaves them with an undeserved sense of accomplishment.

I think the most important thing for an admin to have is the drive to spend countless hours on this site editing, deleting, informing, blocking, etc. knowing that he/she will get nothing but a pat on the back for doing so. While it may seem weird for people to have the attitude that this place of recreation is all about work, the fact is that it relies heavily on users dedicating enormous amounts of their time to prevent the whole thing from descending into mediocrity.

Users who want to become admins should ask themselves how far they're willing to go for this wiki.

If the Creepypasta Wikia was run over by a car, would you donate your own kidney to save it?
