For those not in the know, Jack5Ninja removed this rule without a vote today. Specifically, the "wikia dictatorship is prohibited" rule. His argument is that the staff is currently "puppets", that nepotism is rampant, and that we need to prevent the wiki from going into anarchy.

However, there's a few problems:
 * He did this without a vote. Rules on the wiki state you cannot change things as important as rules, without a vote first.
 * No consent was given between other administrators or bureaucrats. He just... Did this. He didn't tell any other staff he was planning on doing this, he just did.
 * The removal of the rule is inherently flawed, as dictators haven't ended well. Historically, dictators have almost never ended well. Just look at Mussolini or Hitler; and the latter was so bad, a logical law came to be when people used him in examples so often. This means a staff can do whatever they want, without any vote, and without any say. Hypothetically, someone could demote everyone but themselves right now, and there would be nothing within the rules to state that is incorrect so long as they proclaim themselves dictator of the wiki.

Note that support is re-adding the rule, and oppose is keeping it removed.
