Request for approvement
Before a user can become an administrator and use administrative user rights, this user has to be approved by a bureaucrat for the achievement of the basic requirements and the user's reliability.

To request an approvement for an administrative position of this site, a contact email to the currently responsible person (at the moment, this job is made by Dennis07).

The request should include:
 * User name
 * Personal name
 * Email adress
 * Favored job this user wants to do on the site as an administrator

Confirmation or denial
After the request has been read by the site management, they decide wheter the administrator rights will be given to the user. This may take some time (if you have not got a reply for over 3 weeks, you request might has not reached our email inbox).

Whether the request was confirmed or not - we send a reply including our decision and the main reasons for it. A reply to that message is not desirable.

Staying an administrator
Important to do not get dropped from the administrator position is a continuous activity after the election. Once the administrator has been elected, one year of inactivity or a violation of rules can deprive his/her administrative user rights.

If an administrator has not made one or more contributions in the last 91 days this user will get an inactivity warning posted on the personal user talk page. At least one additional warning will follow in the 91 days after that. If no reaction could be noticed, administrative user rights will be removed half a year later.

Another important condition for holding the administrator position is the behavior on the site. Should an administrator give unreasoned blocks or do other stupid stuff, administrative rights will be removed instantly. In this case, this user will not be able to become elected to an administrator in the future.
