I'm a new member here myself, but I just couldn't resist posting (albeit borderline flaming) this...

Traditionally you don't ask to be sysop. People ask you.
Any page with user-edittable content should
never ever ever allow JavaScript, because doing so opens up nightmarish possibilities for cross-site injection attacks, ie, I grab all the data exposed to JavaScript (ie, cookies, request string, etc) and forward it to my own server, then have your machine send a request to the forums to spam the boards.

4) Please make images with transparent background (what I'm trying to do)

Unless the images are thumbnailed, add the transparency yourself.
Seriously, why do you even
need to be a sysop? Sure, there's a lot of functionality to be had, but honestly, anyone with sysop powers can basically nuke the wiki. Why should you have this power? What contributions have you made? What can you currently
not do which you feel the need to do, and how will the contribute to the greater good?
If you need something changed (ie, a page deleted/moved) you should be able to easily contact a sysop on the forums/IRC and, assuming your request is reasonable, they'll probably be more than happy to do it for you.
