I saw you'd taken the lead on managing the 67.168.231.23 disruption. I asked around about that last week and tl;dr that address is inextricably linked with Smn/Bhinegar/Gioguch, a prolific sockmaster associated with massive cross-wiki abuse on nearly all of the major wikifarms fandom, miraheze, wikimedia, etc. and who is also the source of numerous rangeblocks on 2601:1C2:4E00:3DE:0:0:0:0/64 although that won't be an issue here since only IPv4 identification is used. Hopefully this place is small and uninteresting enough that they stay away, but if not it should be possible to seek assistance from those dealing with this case elsewhere, Best [[User:Fast|Fast - ZoomZoom]] ([[User talk:Fast|talk]]) 01:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|Fast}} Great, an infamous sockmaster. I'll take charge for now, but won't hesitate to call for help from a steward or from wikifarms. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 02:02, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

So I just missed your steward request. First, I wanted to thank you for putting yourself out there and stepping up, because I do think testwiki could use some more long term janitorial help, and I hope to see a another stewardship request some months down the road. You have been doing good, and mostly thankless, work behind the scenes, and that deserves to be recognized. I also know, that even when you know it isn't personnel, it still sucks to experience what feels like rejection from fellow community members. I think the general point of the oppose advice is good though, even if six months seems a tad long to me personally. So unless you know everyone in a community already from work elsewhere, or it's a new startup where the founder is begging anyone for help with maintenance, your unlikely to be given the highest permission around in less than 30 days. But every community is a little different so there are no guarantees.<div style="margin-top:.5em"></div>I can only speak for myself here, but to me there are really three things I look at when someone wants to take on an advanced role within an online community.<div style="margin-top:.5em"></div>First I have to trust that they won't misuse any permissions attached to it. That does ''not'' mean that I won't support someone who doesn't know javascript if a permission gives them the ability to (re)write it, just that I need to trust them to know their own limitations and not use that particular piece of the tool kit. And as a corollary because we are all human and make mistakes eventually, that they are the kind of person who will fix their own errors if they can or be unashamed to promptly seek help from others if they can't.<div style="margin-top:.5em"></div>Second (and I've shamelessly stolen this criteria from a user on communitywiki) comply with the precepts of Fidonet policy four Section 9.1., [https://www.fidonet.org/policy4.txt and no I'm not making this up].<blockquote>

{{ping|Fast}} I understand Naleksuh's point, and can respect it. I plan on having another go in a month or 2. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 22:56, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|Pelksel}} Hello. Just so you know, a request for stewardship is open for discussion at the community portal. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 01:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

As a note to others, I withdraw my statement regarding assuming good faith on my comment in the oppose section. Some things we do deserve to be taken back. This is one of them. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 22:16, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I saw you’ve granted TPA back to an LTA. Not sure that was the best idea IMO. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 20:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
