Second point: Past behavior shouldn't follow someone forever.

That's true. There should be a point where it's put behind you, but it needs to be replaced by better behavior to demonstrate the past no longer applies.

This request involves a position of responsibility for the wiki. In these cases, past behavior may need to be considered. Is Cocopuff's behavior different than it has been before?

My impression is his general behavior is pretty good. I'm going to focus just on user rights requests. Here's what's been submitted over the past couple of years.

Conclusion: There is consistent behavior going back quite a while of showing up on a wiki and immediately asking for extra user rights. Demonstrating willingness to help build the wiki is not present. It's often stated in the request, but not demonstrated prior to the request. Instead, sticking around to help build the wiki is dependent on getting the requested rights first.

Cocopuff, I recommend that instead of trying to find new wikis where you can be an admin, discussions mod, chat mod or bureaucrat, work on the wikis where you've already got those. If you do go to a new wiki, do it because it's something you're interested in and want to work on, not because you want to be an admin there. Spend time showing you are a big help to the wiki rather than expecting to be put in charge of it the instant you appear.
