User blog comment:Bigrika/This Wiki has a problem.../@comment-33964026-20180118193925

I agree, personally, I believe that at the least there should have been a poll or a vote for who would become another admin. The users on this wiki, really are the ones keeping it alive (yes admins are also users), but admin status is not what keeps a wiki active. Again, there is no malice that I wasn't chosen, that has nothing to do with this. At all. We need admins who are going to be active (for one), and also we need admins that are going to be open about everything going on in the wiki.

We need announcements, we need details.

Madame, one of the original purposes of your original blog post, was that you needed another admin to begin re-constructing and bringing the wiki back to life. What is your and Airy's plan for this, how do you suppose you will accomplish it. The users of this wiki deserve to know this kind of details. Why was wiki related correspondence happening outside of the wiki? Content that directly effects the wiki as a whole. We, the users of this wiki, deserve to be 'in the loop' about everything going on.

Airy, please do not be offended by any of this, at all, because this is not about you. This is not about admins directly, it is about the lack of communication between the admins and the users of the wiki.

In leadership, a leader can only be as good as his/her followers. Good leaders listen to their followers, to the people who have put them in the leadership position.

I honestly have lost a lot of trust in the whole system here because of how this all happened.

Madame and Airy, a quick blog post saying the results of the applicants would have been so much better than finding out through a suspicious comment or being told by the person who has been rewarded the role, Or finding out by seeing the tag on an individuals page.

I truly believe that any admin should be voted on in a poll, that we should have had an election for who should get the position. I agree with Bigrika, nobody is going to come out and directly say why they think somebody is not fit for a position.

Though you may think that the comunication outside of the wiki on DeviantArt was not very significant, the content was realating to the users and welbeing of this wiki. While I believe that you will do a great job as an admin, Airy (which I have already told you), I just wish that this all happend a different way. Bigrika is right, there is no excuse for not telling people who the admin was or that other applicants were declined.

Now after reading this, you guys have a couple options about how to respond. You can be understaning and we can talk all this out, or you can take offense and get mad at us, or even block us. I can't talk for anyone else, but I for one do not want to be a part of a community with tyranical rulings.

This is realistic reasoning, and it is important. Please take all of this to heart, I think it is important, and I am sure everyone else does too.

We need to all get along, and we need good, worthy, active leaders to represent the users of this wiki as admins.

Thanks for reading all of this, sorry for the leangth,
