User blog:PerseusJackson/Wiki Problems

As everyone knows the wiki has been undergoing a series of problems. If you don't know what I am talking about see here. It shows just how bad the problem is. As Flame stated in his blog, the problem comes from all users so he can't be more specific. I both agree and disagreewith that statement. I agreed with him when he said that all users contribute to the problem. I disagreed with him when he said he can't be more specific. I think that I can point out some flaws of many users here, which has worsened the state of the wiki at a user level.

Therefore I talked to him privately, and discussed my idea with him. Flame was unwilling to speak out like this, so I decided to do it. I have no qualms with pointing out some users' flaws here, even though most of the users might be administrators and bureaucrats. Some might disagree with me, but the time has come for drastic measures to be taken. Many users will say that there is a wiki problem. However when asked to identify it, none have been able to give a satisfactory explanation. If I were to go around and ask ever user individually if they though they themselves were contributing to the problem I am certain that over ninety percent would say no. If everyone thinks they are right, and everyone else is wrong,

THIS WIKI WILL FALL

I am certain I speak or most users here, when I say I DO NOT wish for that to happen.

Please note that I am not going to just randomly insult everyone I don't like, here in this blog. This blog will be full of constructive criticism.

Please note that many of the people are write about might react harshly to what I will write here. Flame has given permission to do this blog and he says he will leave the wiki if any action is taken against me, due to this blog being to help the wiki I'll start with the admin team, all current members, demoted members and members who left the wiki.

The following is our current admin team.

Azrael the Sorrowful

Azrael, you are one of the best admins/users here in my opinion. You actively help the wiki, you don't try to cause fights and you're a good roleplayer. You flaw would be your arrogance. I was signs of this when you created The Sins of the Father. You immediately claimed The Construct as your own character, and althought you claimed you had to earn special positions in SotF, you immediately threw up a character and have her the position of Poseidon's Storm. When I came on next morning, she was removed from that position and I lost track of what happened to that character. I can only guess that the other admins told you to take it down. However, on the bright side, you have improved since then and I congratulate you on your effort.

BachLynn23

We all know Bach. She basically does all the work here, and keeps the wiki running. Were it not for her, this wiki would have descended into chaos a long time ago. We should all thank Bach for all she does to this wiki. I need not say any more.

Flamefang

Flame, I know you are not overly fond of me, but you are definitely one of the best admins/users here. You actively help the wiki, you try to keep the wiki running, you do not resort to immature actions and you're one of our best roleplayers. I don't have any particular complaints against you.

HollowAvarice Hollow, you used to be a good, active user. You went inactive for a long period, and I haven't seen you lately either so I'm not going to bother posting anything here.

Kingbirdy

King, I know you really don't like me but I'm not going to treat you differently you for it. Like Lott, you joined the wiki later than the rest of the admin team. You have shown that you deserved the position of admin. You're active, you help the wiki and you are a good roleplayer. I don't have any major problems with you.

Lenobia

Leno, you joined the wiki a while back and you proved that you deserved a rollback position. Two days later, Angel gave you admin rights, and as far as I know, you did not have an official vote. I'm sorry to say it but I don't think you are active enough.

Nhlott

Lott, you're a good user and a good admin. You joined the wiki later than most of the admin team but you have shown that you deserve the position. I don't really have any complaint against you.

Shooting Starz

Starz, as a person, I think you're great. You're a good friend as well. However as ad admin, I simply think you don't do enough. I'm sorry but it's the truth. We haven't even seen you much for the past few weeks.

Sonofapollo

Soa, I know you're considering leaving the wiki, or at least giving up your admin rights. I already talked to you privately and it's your choice now. I won't say any more here.

TheGhostMan

Ghost, we were friends from way back. While I do think you're a good admin, you need to control your temper. You are the law enforcer, yes, but it doesn't mena you have to yell or curse. It's much better if people respect you enough to obey the rules, and they know they can expect fair treatment. I am not demonizing you here. On the bright side, you have been improving. Keep at it.

'''The following is a list of previous admins. It won't be useful now but the problem started when they were here.'''

User:NewYorkerDean

We all knoe Dean. He is an ex-admin here. He was a new user when he got the position but he was very active. I am extremely happy to say that I never voted for Dean to be ad admin. He was extremely arrogant and a big liar. He even tried to come back here after leaving, using the name Cenarion Circle. He was banned for using a sock-poppet account.

User:PerseusJackson

Yes, I'm going to comment on myself. Basically, I consider myself a good use0r but, my problem is I would do what I think is morally good, rather than what may be best for the wiki. That's the opinion of someone I trust here on this wiki. I'm not going to pretend that I did not make mistakes when I was a b-crat. I know I made them, but I did my best.

User:Thebiguglyalien

Alien was the founder of this wiki and she was a good admin for some time. However she was demoted for doing nothing as an admin and started to share my views, with one key differnce. She acted like the wiki was perfect when she was a b-crat, when in reality, she caused some of the problens we are in now.

User:~Angel Wings~

My opinion is expressed here.

And finally a notorious user on this wiki.

User:Skyandbray

We all know Sky. Unlike most of the admins here, I do not believe Sky is responsible for all our problems. He caused some, yes, but not all. When I was admin, I stopped Ghost from banning Sky permanently. Do I regret it? No, I don't, I did what I think was right. I really don't think Sky means to cause trouble. He just has that kind of attitude.

Also, as Flame said in his blog, the admins try to improve this wiki then they are told that they are oppressing regular users, stopping their fun etc. Remember, being an admin is a responsibility not a reward. It is not easy to deal with this. Please, everyone co-operate with the admins, and trust them. They want to help this wiki. We need to save it.

So you have almost finished reading this blog. Before you confront me, or start to comment, read back the part I wrote on you (if I wrote one). Try to understand your flaws. Then read it again, and see how you can fix them.

And lastly, some comments. Please note that I may not have asked them for it, but rather taken them from what they said at some point, and put them here to reflect their thoughts.

Bach- I know, I'm older, but I have other stuff to do, and I don't mind putting a shit ton of work into this wiki to see it flourish. I also have bigger dreams though, beyond you guys, to take rpg wikis to a whole new level, and to help pioneer them to become their own part of wikia. I have plans, to bring to wikia and work with them on this, hopefully, but if this wiki keeps going through this pettiness, there is no way in hell I would want to use this wiki as the forerunner of my plans. With the constant bickering I would be embarrassed to use this wiki as a basis for my plans and ideas

Flame- When the Userbase of a wiki gets this bad I start to lose hope. Because the Userbase is the wiki. Not the picures. Not the blogs and speeches. Not the pages.

Me- I may be thirteen but I had goals and dreams for this wiki when I helped to make it. None of them included this wiki being reduced to this. None of them included immature fights between the users.

Remember if we work together,

WE CAN STILL SAVE THIS WIKI
