User blog comment:Shifūha/Admin Nominations: Public Corner (OPEN)/@comment-2089817-20140912143056

On a serious note, this blog exists as a means for users to interview the Admin candidates, rather than just saying "Ooh ooh, I think, duhhh... Dat guy is bestest!", so since I was apparently the only one who actually READ the details of the blog, I'll start.

@Shigenzō - My first question will go to you. When I first came up with the Kage System for NF's Administration, I served as the site's First Hokage. And the main concept of the Hokage, which has carried over even onto Kay's description of "The Executioner", is basically that you have to be the first one NOT to take shit from the users. Ironically enough, you have to be willing to be the bad guy and tell people to calm the fuck down when it is necessary. You have to be willing to basically step up and tell people to cut the crap. Your most closest partner in these matters will most likely be the Raikage and Mizukage. Raikage, because you will be responsible for being the "bad cop" to his/her "good cop" when it comes to arguments and user relations, and Mizukage, because in a similar vein, when they designate a punishment due to content issues, you have to back their play. But also, you have to be willing to disagree with your fellow admins. You are ideally the backbone of the administration, and like the backbone of a mammal, you have to be strong and resilient, but also flexible. It is crucial that you maintain a strict demeanor that commands respect. Furthermore, when all the other four Kages are focused on individual users, you must, at all times, focus on the community and the site as a whole. You must always do what is best for the community as a whole and never allow personal bias or favoritism cloud you. I won't lie to you, this is a tough job. And you will, more often than not, be looked upon by certain users as a jackass for your rulings. So, I suppose, my question to you is a two-parter as follows: What about you (including personality traits you recognize, examples of your past that prove you fit these criteria, and so on) makes you qualified to fill such a role? And also, based on everything I mentioned above, will you be able to truly handle serving in such a capacity, even if it means one day being looked upon with hate from the majority of the user base?
