Forum:Request for Promotion:EpaX

Greetings, fellow Wikians!

Please evaluate my application to become a Rollback/Banhammer Moderator below, and vote whether I should be promoted or not.

Note - This is not a competition. Noone will be fired if I am to be promoted. I am not running against another person, nor is there 1 spot to compete for. This is not, "Oh well, this person would do it better".

Who in the world am I?
I am an active contributor of this wiki, and have been since November 2011. If assistance is required, I provide it if it is in my grasp of knowledge.

What have I contributed?
As a standard editor, I have incorporated my vast knowledge of Combat Arms into many wiki pages and answering the scores of queries in the comments section. In terms of editing, I contribute mainly to the ‘Overview’ and ‘Trivia’ section of a page, since I specialise in in-game information. I am constantly on the lookout for mistakes in an article, and abolish them as soon as possible. I have a good understanding of source coding, hyperlinks and templates, and use them efficiently throughout my editing. I currently have 2,083 wiki edits in the space of 13 months, many of which are in-depth edits.

Attitude?
I have a friendly, unbiased attitude, especially when it comes to editing. I treat every other editor with respect (unless, of course, they are vandalising). I am also a grammar Nazi when it comes to wiki articles, and tend to replace poorly structured sentences into better ones.

Why do I want a promotion?
Simply because of the increasing amount of vandals on this wiki, as well as the dwindling number of active moderators & administrators. It is frustrating when a person is constantly vandalising wiki pages right in front of my eyes.I have no efficient method to control the oncoming waves of vandalism (the 'Undo' function is slow and almost obsolete on persistent vandals). Sure, I could report it to an existing Moderator/Admin, but it would not do much since most of the staff is inactive anyway. Thus, I wish to be promoted so vandals can be taken care of immediately. Being a long-term contributor, I believe I am more than trustworthy of holding this position.
