Please stop

Please stop making joke categories for your userpage. That is not what categories, or Wikipedia is for. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 18:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

RFA

I would advise not submitting your RFA at this time. You are nowhere near ready to be an administrator, and a simple look at the RFA page would tell you you are nowhere near the minimum requirements. Additionally, you seem to believe that Wikipedia is a game, or a social networking site. It is not. This is an encyclopedia, not a myspace page. Things like "Awesomeness club" and "cool users" categories, are not beneficial to the project. You don't "beat the game" by making admin, or joining the Welcome committee. I'd advise you to take some time reading Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a social networking site,Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a forum, and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not before editing further. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 18:54, 7 September 2012 (UTC) Okay OMGuyZ (talk) 18:55, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Teahouse

Hi OMGuyZ! Thanks so much for signing up to be a host at the Teahouse, we appreciate your energy and effort. However, the Host program is actually for experienced editors. While I do assume good faith - anyone who wants to help new editors and so forth is awesome! - we also have to make sure that Hosts follow the expectations set for them (which it appears you might have not read them based on the first question you answered) and have a really strong and super super friendly manner. I am so so appreciative that you want to lend a hand - perhaps after a few more months of editing then you can reconsider getting more involved in the Teahouse. If we can help you with anything - or help learn any of the policy or procedure ropes - do let me or any of our Hosts know! Thanks for your energy and being here on Wikipedia!
