: If I may add, I wholeheartedly agree with Francis. Its not that Soo is a bad editor or that he isn't familiar with the various concepts and code of practises for Misplaced Pages. Generally his edits are very commendable. But its rather a general underlying attitude that strongly suggests to me that the admin tools may not be used for the general good of the encyclopedia at this present time. I think another 2-3 months of being an editor and accepting/overcoming his past transgressions and he will be a brilliant administrator. (In my breif time here some of the best admins I've found are the ones who really had to work to prove it because of past 'incidents' like these.

==Vote blocked by Spam Filter==

I tried to put the following support vote into the RFA:

:''#'''Support''' large body of edits, the oppose votes don't convince me, and I don't think that the user would abuse administrator privledges. However, you definately need to make more contact with other users in their talk pages.--] 19:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)''

However it was blocked because of the spam filter that left the following message:

"Spam protection filter

The page you tried to save was blocked by the spam filter because it contained a link to a blacklisted website. If you didn't add the link (see below), it was probably already in the current version of the page. Alternately, it might have been added by spyware on your computer.

You will need to remove all instances of the blacklisted URL before you can save.

If you believe that the link should not be listed on the spam blacklist, or that the spam filter is mistakenly blocking the edit, please leave a request on the spam blacklist talk page. The following is the section of the page that triggered the filter:

The following text is what triggered our spam filter: http://iceyboard.no-ip

Return to Main Page."

That "iceyboard" link is actually to the edit counter that was used to show the edits accumulated by the person being nominated so I didn't want to remove it.--] 19:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Agentsoo and Skull (symbolism)

I'm not answering this on the RfA page, as I don't believe in "that sort of thing". I am talking about Agentsoos attitude and deportment on Skull (symbolism). I mediated a dispute between an intransigent User:Dream Guy User:DreamGuy and an inflammatory User:Agentsoo. From the behaviour of Agentsoo (and Dream Guy) during this mediation I don't believe either would use the tools available to an administrator, nor the certain "influence" appropriately. - FrancisTyers · 00:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Incidentally, the behaviour of this user made such a bad impression on me that I actually remembered the username, after (as you put it) 8 months. :) - FrancisTyers · 00:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your answer, Francis. It's understandable, I think, that you would remember the incident, then. Another question, though: your link above points to the user page of an indefinitely banned user: "This account (Dream_Guy) has been blocked indefinitely because it exists solely to impersonate or attack DreamGuy." Is that the correct account? Was this really just an attack or impersonation account?--Firsfron of Ronchester 00:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
(Also, sorry if it seems I'm harping on this, but this seems very out of character for Soo).--Firsfron of Ronchester 00:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
You're right, its without the space it seems. - FrancisTyers · 01:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you see yourself supporting in another eight months, if you were convinced that Agentsoo had changed since then? --Aquillion 22:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
If I saw some civil interactions with users on talk pages, a bit more humility, and more project involvement I'd probably reconsider in 8 months. - FrancisTyers · 22:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
If I may add, I wholeheartedly agree with Francis. Its not that Soo is a bad editor or that he isn't familiar with the various concepts and code of practises for Misplaced Pages. Generally his edits are very commendable. But its rather a general underlying attitude that strongly suggests to me that the admin tools may not be used for the general good of the encyclopedia at this present time.
