User blog comment:TheFireJay/Auction Worker Nominations May 2k15/@comment-25953711-20150505154354

Hi! I'm Shadow and I'd like to nominate myself as auction worker.

I consider myself a very active user on this wiki in all the time I've been here (since January this year) – and just for the record: I've never been banned, blocked or in any serious arguments or dramas with other users.

When I applied for admin I got quite a lot of support – which was really nice, so thanks a lot to all of you! And I really hope you will support me once again now :)

One of my greatest achievements on this wiki was the auction's claim system: The box in which all users are able to see how much they have claimed. Doing the discussion about how to provide the auction workers and users from fighting I came up with this idea which I think has worked very well – at least when the auction workers remember to use it.

I have also made a lot of templates (mostly for my own use) but also came up with an idea for a new layout for the Admin page – and it was used on the main page for like 24 hours I think. So that's quite something to have archived! ;)

I have a lot of experience in working with HTML and CSS too – so if the layout on the auction page has to be chanced it won't be a problem for me to do it.

– other than that: I've created two games and more than 30 finished tributes.

So why should I be chosen as auction worker?

First of all if I'm chosen I will do my very best to keep the claim system updated so everyone knows just how much they have claimed and what's left for them to claim.

Second is to make sure everyone's comments about claiming will be read so they do not have to ask for the same claim over and over again – I've been a victim of this myself and I really understand your frustration.

One thing you should know about me: I don't do something half hearted. Either I finish what I've started or I won't start at all. So when I'm nominating myself for the job as an auction worker it's not to get a fancy colour – it's because I really want the auction to work the best for all of us. The auction is one of the best and funniest sites on this wiki and it is really frustrating for all of us when it's not working.

So before I turn this application into a British election speech I just want to remind you that:

I'm an active user on this page that really wants to make the claim system (which was my own idea) work and for everyone to get what they have claimed within hours and not days :)
