User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Tips for becoming an admin/@comment-4199666-20121207235641

I think this is a great message for anyone wanting to become an administrator, and I honestly wish some other admins (on another wiki) considered this, because they've all been voted as admins because they're all friends, and they make up a majority of the regular contributors, so persuading the community to vote for them was pretty easy, even though it was only for the authoritative power.

I definitely think I'll link this on another one of my wikis as something to read before asking for user rights.
