Discussions are supposed to go on for seven days before being closed. This leaves time for anyone and everyone to post their thoughts, comments, and yes, any questions you would have for the candidate, in this case Yap. Per wiki rules, each editor is allowed 2 questions to the candidate if you so wish to ask him something.

Additionally, the bureaucrat usually receives a 75% community consensus, which he does not have right now. I went and tallied them up, and he has 23-Support, 17-Neutral, and 8-Oppose. That means that less than half of the people in this discussion are not comfortable with the idea of Yap being admin. Obviously, this shows a general distrust and a huge problem for you as an admin. There have been many reasons given for this, which brings me to MY question.

Yapboonyew, are you willing to be more open to the newer members of the community, to let go of some of your bias towards old users, and generally attempt to be more welcoming to the community? If so, how would you go about doing this?

I know it can be a hard thing to do especially since I have no idea what type of social life you lead outside of the wiki, but in order to be a beureaucrat, you must above all else have a positive, fair demeanor towards all people on the wiki no matter who they are. All administrators are supposed to be role models for the other users, and the higher rank the admin is, the more responsibility they take on and the better role model they must be.

Also, here are a few links about Bureaucrats and Administrators for those interested.
