Hi everyone, so I thought I'd make a blog post to publicly address the situation at hand.
First off, something extremely important came up to me that is, so sorry to put it, more important than this wiki to me. As some of you may know I am quite passionate about education and the academic sphere of our job and schooling system. When exams come up, I revise and practice relentlessly to ensure I can do my best. This time, it was different.
For the last year I have been kept at bay from the wiki by the harsh negativity and cutthroat behavior that is initiated on every single promotion and demotion; every discussion to do with the policy. This wiki is one massive soap opera. I'm not the kind of person who is going to put up with drama, nor am I the person who is going to sit there and let it carry on. For the longest time I have kept myself inline with what I consider some absurd policies that need reforms. Most of my time here was dedicated to the editing spectrum where I could use my rights in a way that I felt productive.
So, after what seems like a year of being hateful towards the social aspects of the wiki, and several failed attempts to get it running again; I have decided that moderating for this userbase is not for me.
I'm not going to say I'm anyone's favourite admin; honestly - I don't think I could have been. I can't operate in this wikis systems as a "moderator".
However, I still wish to remain active so that I may talk to one of my closest friends - but not as an admin.
Some people I would like to thank
- Apj26 - Wholeheartedly the nicest, funniest, best person I have ever had the immense pleasure to come across. Please be nice to this man; he deserves it entirely.
- Callum Fawsitt - Callum has had a rough time on the wiki; and this is a symbol for what the wiki needs to change. Callum, keep being the resilient person you are; and always remain positive.
Thanks everyone,
This is no means my quitting post; I just want to retire and become more lenient with the rules. Who needs me to enforce when we have Wata and Callum, anyway?
EDIT: Just a quick edit, I'd like to clear it up to anyone viewing that Titanium's comment below is completely opinionated and does not relate to me in the slightest. For what I assume he means it was a sockpuppet for what I got the blame for before it was disproved by wikia staff. In addition, two all those people who thought they had the right to berate me in my absence simply because you thought I did those thins; what does that make you? In all honesty, it doesn't make you a better person. It makes you worse.
