 == WT:RFA == 

 So, roughly speaking: I'm not arguing ""viewdeleted good, buttons bad"", it's just that this question of which userright is the least toxic is a question I don't have the luxury of having an opinion on, because there are so many other opinions out there ... I just have to go with the flow, or nothing will get done. Countless RfCs have shown that what most voters care most about is actual admin buttons, and from their rationales, it's clear that this has something to do with a perception of fairness and not wanting people to have power over other people unless they're well-trained and it's absolutely necessary. We don't get those complaints with viewdeleted, we get different complaints, but there's a chance something can be done about those complaints. It wouldn't bother me at all if the consensus tilts largely in your favor, and this userright is handed out rarely, though I doubt ""rarely"" will become ""never"", because many candidates who fail RfA fail over technical issues that have nothing to do with trustworthiness or dedication (as perceived by the voters ... again, I don't have the luxury of personal opinions on much of this stuff). - Dank  "
