Agreed with your post 100%, honestly. This entire thing has felt like a bad faith troll at worst, or completely misguided at best. A result of many of the huge walls of text was seeing the logic behind the cleanup, and the severe misinterpretation of wiki policy/history by newer users. No matter how many times we say "it's not a reward, it's not a position of power" they keep missing the point. The fact that basically every single sysop who responded was totally willing to give up power on the spot should have been a pretty big tip-off that there's not some secret discord cabal of shifty sysops just trying to maintain power. -Auron 07:24, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Fake News!!! I honestly feel this has been nothing but a way for a certain individual to be a troll and get as much attention as possible. Hopefully the "look at me" will get old and the person will move on.

- I wonder who you could be talking about. 🙃
- Auron:
- . I've been here since 2009. If that still qualifies as "new" to you, then I don't know what to say.
- . No one has said they're a cabal, and I've repeatedly said otherwise. You're acting in bad faith by repeating this shitty meme again and again.
- Drogo:
- . Yeah. Definitely. My goal is to troll, and not to improve the wiki. That's why I was banned immediately, and why my edit history shows no edits, rather than a significantly greater number of edits than anyone else.
- I'm disappointed but not surprised that auron is still a gigantic ass after "dropping the charade" because guess what - it wasn't a charade. And I'm also not surprised that Drogo is somehow unchanged after 10 years. I guess personal growth isn't something I should expect from people. horrible | contribs 13:38, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- yes we should refrain from expecting from others that we are unwilling to do ourselves. Yadayada something about a user who wants admins that follow his definition of an admin to the letter but is unwilling to step up and be an admin himself because of the constraints.

- Who said I was unwilling to be a sysop? Holding myself to the same standards shows that I clearly would be a bad choice. horrible | contribs 13:24, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- yeah that pretty much says what I said, you are not willing to even meet your own standards you are willing to force on others. Justice (talk) 19:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- What even are you trying to say? That I should be nicer, agree with people more, and be more persuasive in my arguments? If you think that's purely a "willingness" thing, then you can fuck right off, thanks.
- With regards to everything else, I didn't create sysop guidelines. The only sysop-thing I've been pushing has been increasing activity and improving moderation communication. The former of which I undeniably do well in, the other isn't applicable to an editor role. horrible | contribs 19:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
