I recommend this be closed. There are many wikis where Cocopuff2018 has suddenly shown up and immediately asked for advanced user rights. In one or two cases if it wasn't immediately approved, he made a few edits and then said that should be good enough and he should get the rights then. On a few wikis, he was granted additional rights for simply showing up and asking for them.

It seems to me he's more interested in being able to say he's an administrator than working towards earning it and demonstrating he'll stick around for the long run to support the wiki.

It's been my experience that those who show up and say "Make me a general" don't have that commitment or disappear if they don't immediately get an answer. I've also seen a case where this was done with the ulterior motive of being able to commit vandalism and promoting sockpuppet accounts. And it's also been my personal experience that the more wikis you're an admin on, the less time you have to devote to them because you're stretching yourself too thin.
