I also don't think this is a good idea.

And again I must repeat that I do not think it is a good idea to make Anonxxxx 
a sysop. I had a look at their contribution history. First post was 
copyrighted info from another website. A couple of days (or weeks) after 
first contributing propperly this user inquired what was necessary to become 
sysop. I'm always extra critical of people actively seeking powers before 
they deserve them.

Best,
Sascha Noyes
