Question
Since you're just refusing to go and say another word on the forum, I'll move my question over here. I'd much appreciate some answer from you.

Would you care to elaborate more on this, White Flash?

Hey

Having just looked at this and this I feel I really need to say something on this issue. I've never been confrontational here or really expressed myself in any significant way. I've kept to myself and just worked where and when I could without diminishing what I tried to do elsewhere and trying to help out. I don't think meaningless arguments help. Constructive discussions do. Now I start on that.

I want to know what exactly you were thinking when you gave Speysider administrator and bureaucrat rights here. He's never edited before and as far as I can see, this is entirely a personal decision based only on the fact that you two are friends from some other wiki. Even if you felt his help were necessary, how is giving him bureaucrat rights helpful to this wiki when all they can do, as you know and have said, is give out other rights? is an encyclopedic website and has nothing to do with forming gangs of associates. We work here and if a user is capable and deserving, as per this wiki, they can be promoted. When he hasn't done anything, what exactly makes him the ideal choice for these powers?

You know as well as anyone that only staff and utilities can remove bureaucrat rights so how is it you can just arbitrarily give the most powerful right normal users can give to a user who has barely even edited the wiki, hasn't made themselves known to the regular users and just joined around 5 hours before they got the rights. That's easily the most irresponsible decision I've ever seen made in my time on wikia. Giving him admin rights when he has no experience here would be one thing but giving the bureaucrat right is entirely ridiculous. You yourself said before back when StarCrossedWonderland was inactive that, despite her inactivity, the wiki didn't need another bureaucrat. Now that you're apparently busy in real life, we do need another. I have no idea why you want to use double standards on this place or treat it like your amusement park when it's anything but. This is not a dictatorship run by you where you make all the decisions and are the ultimate voice and final authority on everything and if you wanted to give a user a right like this in this or any manner, regardless of who that user was, you should've discussed it at the very least.

If you actually felt that a bureaucrat was necessary during your inactivity, which I find hard to believe but I guess is somewhat remotely possible, why were neither Glass Heart or Remnant13 considered? Both of them have proven knowledge of the series and its additional material and are the two most active users on this wiki and regularly deal with what needs to be done, in addition to having admin and bureaucrat experience on other wikis, if that were to be taken into consideration. Given how you have acted when dealing with the former in particular, I think this is entirely personal a personal move and was just made as a slap in the face. That's an absurdly childish and unprofessional thing to do.

Given your initial willingness to make Remnant13 an admin, I wonder why there was a sudden interest in giving rights to someone who hasn't edited and isn't known to the wiki. Judging by his message on your talk page, it looks like this day, February 5th, is his first time coming here at all, though I can't say for sure that it is so I won't. In regards to rights, surely Remnant would've been an agreeable choice among everyone given that you seem to have it out for Glass, something I find to be just plain wrong.

Finally, I think this was an unneeded move as both of them are capable of taking care of this wiki till your return, as they've been doing for a long time while you've progressively been editing less and less. You said you were extending the olive branch by giving Glass and Remnant admin rights so they could help out. Are you trying to burn that branch?

Oh, and for the record, I don't know Speysider personally and this isn't a personal attack on him, his judgement or abilities. This is me asking you what you were thinking.

Get back to me at your convenience.
