Therefore, I was wondering if I could nominate myself to become a Wikia janitor. I am familiar with all the policies, etc. and I do help out on other wikis, mainly for users on IRC. Also, I apologize if there was a better spot to put this, but I couldn't find one :) --[[User:Skizzerz|Skizzerz]] ^{[[User talk:Skizzerz|talk]]} 23:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC) Currently, the amount of active janitors/helpers is not quite enough to keep cross-wiki spam and vandalism to a minimum 24/7 (and staff are usually busy too).

We're beginning to see [[uncyclopedia:Special:Contributions/Manticore|this sort of activity]] - a long string of reversions which don't fall into the narrow categories of "cross-wiki vandalism", spam or intervention where there is no local admin. Not quite what [[Janitor policy and guidelines#When_to_take_action]] appears to envision.
