Greetings! My name is Percyblu, better known by my 2015-16 username, Kelpy G, and I am running for administrator!

This wiki will turn ten years old on November 9. This wiki has gone through several eras, from good ones, to bad ones, to semi-good ones, to whatever the hell it is now. Each era has it's own famed administrators, and their actions combined with the typical fanfiction determine how well the wiki is. For example, in 2015, when admins were veteran fanfiction creators (Doctor Bugs, RamDarre, SBCA, etc), the wiki's fanfiction thrived. Shows like ParodySponge, Basket Sponge, PLWTR, and SpongeBob Remade were commonplace. But now, I don't know what's happening. The shows are good, but they would be even greater if the administrators were just as normal as any community member and wouldn't care so much on the regulations? That brings my next point.

Regulations are the biggest problem to the wiki right now. Who cares on whether all spin-off's which uses words like "damn" carry a PG rating or not? Wiki Politics doesn't exist without a wiki. The administration exists to moderate discussion, protect important pages, warn users fairly, block any threat to the wiki, and create just as amazing content as the next guy. Right now, except for the fourth point, that doesn't exist. It's all politics, regulations, and trials if we elect a potential administrator candidate. My goal as an administrator is to shrink it's rights and responsibilities—let the user take charge.

I wanted to due this when summer break starts in June, but hey, if Travis can do it, why can't I?

Goals

 * Create a Public Network For Spin-off's
 * Limit Admin Powers To What It Was Intended For There should be no need for an administrator to close a proposal after seven days. If a proposal reaches 50% support and has been in session for 7-21 days, the proposer may close it and it should take effect
 * Bring Greater Ties With ESB The time has come to break free of the chains of administrator rivalry—we must accept the reality of how our users and topics are connected. The SBFW needs more users to flourish it's fandom, and the ESB should not have to deal with the embarrassment of having a rip-off as it's preferred fanon wiki. However, under no circumstances will we join SpongeBobia. There will be no AMK-style rule in the SBFW, not in a thousand years. I believe in ESB and SBFW working together.
 * Limit Political Party Rights George Washington said it himself—"Political Parties are likely to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people". Political Parties should be mere fraternal clubs of users with common interests.
 * Outlaw any form of trial. Basically a response to Travis' promised "New Nuremberg Trials". It's basically a popularity contest—unless you've directly violated policy, there is no reason to be blocked.
 * And More!
