User blog:TurtleShroom/Curse Your Radical Reform!

Way to go, you abolished the Webmasters. Every time I come here, I regret my move more and more and more.


 * First, you ruin the templates with unimaginative glyphs.


 * Then, you flood the place with spam userboxes. WE DON'T CARE IF THIS USER USES PAINT OR GIMP, IT'S SPAM!


 * Then, clothing articles. SPAM! SPAM SPAM!


 * Then, this.

To whoever is leading these radical reqrites: YOU FOOLS! Go ahead and tear down everything else! I am ashamed. I come here every now and then for various reasons, normally because the CPFW needs a link or a picture to edit. Each time, the site is worse and changed further.

I predict that this site will be unrecognizable by 2010, and that the Archives will be killed by October of next year.

"User rights are not ranks."
 * In my opinion, someone who is promoted has done something to earn the power or authority gifted by the promotions. They, being more powerful than the generic masses, are technically ranked higher, gifted with power and entrusted by the community to benefit the database.

"People who are just a sysop are called sysops. People who have both the 'crat and sysop ability are called admins."
 * Who gave you the power to define that? I was taught that an Administrator is a synonym for Sysop. Bureaucrats are simply Beuracrats. It is the Bureaucrat who traditionally go to staff.

"Bureaucrats are not different from admins, they can only promote."
 * YES! I'm finally glad someone realized that. I've said that for quite a while. However, giving someone the authority to promote is a HUGE honor and makes them the most powerful in the database's hierarchy. They usually do something to earn it.

"They do not lead the wiki..."
 * Then who does, Tigernose? If soemthing is wrong on a local level, instead of contacting a staff every time, you go to an administrator or bureaucrat. Technically, since they block and promote, they DO lead the site simply because they have the power to edit the site so heavilly.
 * If no one leads something, that is called Anarchy. Anarchy leads to choas, because there always needs to be a leader or leaders.

"Applying for sysopship should be a huge responsibility. "
 * Absolutely. I've always believed that myself.

"You have to be trusted to handle the massive powers you have. You may be a good editor, but the choices you make affect everyone."
 * Absolutely.

"I think there should only be some 4 bureaucrats."
 * That's absolutely STUPID. Anyone who has the skills and is worthy should be eligible to apply for being a Bureaucrat. You shouldn't limit it to four people, because that would imply that it is a rank only a few can hold at the time.

"Webmaster is not a real site title."
 * Obviously.

"This is purely because it is not a right, it is a fictional title."
 * Yes, but the site does need a elader in my opinion, and that was the title chosen by Robbsi.

"Please remove the title. They do not exist."
 * They did exist and they did have power until YOU destroyed yet another site dctrine. However, the Webmaster doctrine wasn't even destroying the site. Plus, sometimes Veto powers ARE needed! Experienced users who have been on for years often know what's best for the site more than a noob with an idea, and sometimes just saying NO is a neccesity.

All in all, I am ashamed, but I won't fight it until you go nuts and do something like change the logo or delete unused images (keep all non-spam images).

Lastly...

'''Do you REALLY have to delete the Webmaster pages? I don't think that Joeyaa would want to help me fanon and export every peice of wiki history/culture again. If you MUST kill the Webmasters, do it if you must, but keep the pages until I can figure out what to do with them.'''

BEFORE YOU DELETE THEM, PELASE LET ME TALK WITH JOEYAA.
