Though some of you may disagree that this wiki needs admins, the recent scam/spam postings has exposed one of the issues of not having some, the quick removal of the offending content.
I contacted wiki staff to have the content removed and after a time it was, hopefully the community counter-comments prevented anyone from falling victim to the scam.
Pages can be editted by users but comments can not, nor can they be removed, some contributors had assumed there were admins for this wiki but currently there are none. The means by which we can have some is through a public discusion and nomination process.
Let this be clear, the Admins for the wiki will only be using their powers for specific limited reasons, mostly just menial tasks, like deleting a page or comment that the author has requested deleted. But also for deleting scam/spam posts. They will not be resposible nor expected to moderate or censor comments, that will still be something the community, as a whole, will try to manage. Extreme hate speech, harassment or bully postings and the like however, will not be tolerated and will be dealt with as required.
Choosing Admins for wikis is usually done through nomination process, though not required, it makes more sense that those voting or nominating should be by users that have created accounts and show up as someone other than "Wikia contributor" and have made contributions to the wiki already.
The nominees should be people that are active contributors to the wiki, help manage and improve it, creates new and useful pages, keeps the News/Main Page sections up to date and helps answer questions by other users.

In the comments below you may make your nominations and justify your reasons.
Try to keep all supporting comments for a specific user under their respective original posting.
We do not want a large number of Admins, as for the most part, admins should not need to use their powers, so although many may be nominated we should probably only stick to a small number of dedicated users.
