- Disagree. Gets pissed off waaaaay too easily. That's reason enough. In addition, homophobes probably wouldn't make good admins. Think about that. It seems like you guys are just looking for someone to nominate. --ニョロトノ666 20:46, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. Sorry, but Politoed is right. --Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 19:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- Disagree. Harsh, abusive, short-tempered, gets into edit wars at the drop of a hat, etc. Xenophobia is a bad trait, but it doesn't really have a bearing on how he'll do as an admin; still, that doesn't change the fact that he's not admin material to begin with. --((Marton imos)) 00:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Disagree. See all the above comments :\ He's a bit to... moody... ~~Takoto タコト| サソデイ = 愛 08:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Disagree. Sorry, but I have agree with the others here - Maxim just wouldn't make a healthy admin to whom people could go for advice. He's an important user that has done a lot for the Bulbapedia, but admins need to be approachable, and he has shown himself as just not that. Satosuke 04:55, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Supervehemently Disagree OMG. This is too much.--Diby 05:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

- I'm not going to vote on this, and I'll explain why: when I first joined Bulbapedia, Maxim was one of the first editors I got to know, because he was a constant top-contributor and his name was all over the 'pedia. However, he was also famous for being extremely rude, obsessive, a control-freak who talks in ALL CAPS and goes on rage-tantrums over simple mistakes and believes he's always right and everybody else is wrong. I'm not exaggerating here - a simple look here can confirm it, and the other old-timers around here are probably nodding in agreement while reading this. So why aren't I opposing? Well, I had to leave for a year due to the army taking it's toll, and when I came back, I haven't seen much of Maxim around - but when I did, he was civil and reasonable. There's a chance this guy changed and matured, but I can't get his old image out of mind. Think about all of this before deciding - but I'm remaining neutral. --electAbuzzzz 08:12, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Who's Maxim?--☆Tavisource 20:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- To be honest, I expected it'll end up like this. I'm not a part of "Bulbapedia friends". Most of authorities here hate me for various reasons. But I don't really understand why normal users use that "because long time ago you did something wrong" excuse. Well, I guess being a Bulbapedia admin is certainly NOT my destiny. Not like I care about this so much. I'm perfectly happy with correcting mistakes and improving the Pedia's quality without any authority. Well, if I were chosen it would probably prevent some power abuses and would probably change the format of administration here. But well, if you don't want me, then it's your thing. I guess I should have been born under a different star... --Maxim 12:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
