I will heartily support you gaining content moderation rights, but at this time I see no reason to take a position on your administrative rights request. G'luck tho. c: I think he should be an admin because, think about Q4. If there is a vandal, and all the admins are asleep, what is going to happen? We'll have to fix all the pages when we're awake again. Yes, again that was one of my main considerations. However, Content Moderators are well equipped to counter vandals with the ability to rollback edits and lock pages. I have done this myself during my stint as a content mod, with occasional supplemental reports on the VSTF wiki to deal with late night vandals. It is by no means the ideal way to handle vandals, but it has worked for a few instances of vandalism during the evening hours.

To clarify– I am maintaining a neutral position. MaintenanceRequired has apparent experience with sysop rights and I have no qualms should they succeed in their request. I just need more reason for outright supporting a request at this point in time.
