User blog comment:Protanly/Protanly's views on the current state of the wiki/@comment-7091122-20161213014854


 * 1) While some power to the individual would make sense, too much is unhealthy. However, that doesn't make it okay to insult people based on sensitivities, to be extremely hateful, or anything absurd like that! This is more in suit with what I feel is society in general's problems in 2016; after SJWs bombed the idea that extreme tolerance is a good idea, society decided extreme hatred was the way to go... It's not. It's not, okay? Extremes are NEVER the answer.
 * 2) Truth be told, I have been fearing a state of anarchy. I feel several vote threads get unfairly de-highlighted, or, even worse, closed because they don't fit the beliefs of a bureaucrat. While I wish to not speak of him as a person out of, I do believe there's a certain bureaucrat who is especially guilty of this; he knows who he is, and chances are, if you have to ask me, it isn't you. Not to mention the clear biases for and against specific users. I feel ZambieAlex is the best example; despite him being a decent user nowadays, he tried over 5 times to get promoted to rollback just for having a rocky start here.
 * 3) This is just about the only one I disagree about. Mainspace edits have always been crucial for promotion threads since the dawn of time; the only reason it could be negative is the (now ended) issue of people calling people running for staff positions "power hungry" purely based on edit counts, not personalities.
 * 4) This one I only partially agree with. Certain staff members are surely treated with higher regards compared to others IMO (again, not saying any names for ) but not all of them face bias. But, the lack of activity from certain bureaucrats is certainly not helping in this, and one of them being biased IMO (blablabla not saying name you know why) is certainly a detriment.
