Take a video game director. Yes, they have power over other people and the game itself, but they never abuse it. Why? Because they have a compassion for it. Our site is built on the very foundations of compassion, and we're lucky to not have been overrun by socks like those that attack small wikis. We, including b-crats, go on this website not to abuse our powers of editing, but to help others in the community.

Now, take a president. Okay, this may be a bad idea because the current president is Trump. All hail democracy and voting. The president has the power to veto bills so that they aren't made into laws. Sounds familiar? That's basically what the removal of the rule was for. It allows b-crats to basically veto the vote. The b-crats are there to help the wiki, and if vetoing the vote is for the greater good, then they'll do it.

"... but power corrupts the mind" - No they don't. You even VOTED for these b-crats to have this kind of power. In real life dictatorships, power corrupts the mind, yes, but them dictatorships don't care whack about their position, in contrast of the b-crats. Besides, the b-crats can't get away with abusing their rights, unlike Kim Jong-Un and other dictators. We have Fandom Wikia Staff who also have MORE power than the b-crats.

If you're still concerned, I would like to say that b-crats have NO motive to abuse their rights to ruin the wiki. Why would they want to waste all of their work by vetoing good rules and then getting demoted? Why would they want to be like Hitler or Stalin? They don't, and do not ever assume that they would.

tl;dr stop talking whack about dictators in real life because they are not, and never will be, similar to the b-crats that would dictate the wiki. Basically the point I wanted to say but struggled to find the words and examples for.
