Forum:Administrative Changes

Nystusgate
First of all, on this very day (April 5th, 2010) there were some editing issues with the user Nystus, which is now a former administrator. The incident involved these three pages if you want to look at them before casting any opinion: MoS, Quotes' discussion in my user page and Blitzcrank Background history. The decision was made temporarily since the purpose if the demotion was to stop the edit war.

Since the community had already some issue with him, I left to discussion for the community to vote if they you want Nystus to be an administrator again or would you like it to be removed from the administration staff.

Promote him to Admin

 * 1) NeonSpotlight - I believe that Nystus should be promoted back to his administrator position but with the condition that if this situation occurs again he's removed from the staff altogether.

Leave him as a Moderator

 * 1) Vyrolan - I would normally agree with NeonSpotlight on this kind of situation.  However when I read through the edits/histories on the two pages and the discussion on KazMx's talk page, I feel differently.  It should never ever ever come to "Rollback war" especially between two high-ranked editors.  The discussion both in edit comments and on the talk page are also not what I would call "civil" or in any way productive.  You also can't just delete/change a rule that impacts the entire community just because you don't agree with it.  The community has grown a lot recently and a lot more opinions are gathered before making decisions.  That evolution is a good thing and these actions fly in the face of it.  I feel KazMx handled the situation admirably and to the best of his ability.  I feel other recent projects have seen Nystus grinding against everyone.  He's been quick to judge/dismiss/disagree.  That said, his insight is good and so is his desire to maintain a high level of quality around the wiki.  I feel it would be bad to lose him wholly, and so I could see him better able to contribute within the Moderator role.

Signatures
The community has brought up some issues with the signature from certain editors. So we decided to create a special section in the MoS to address this issue, so I want your opinions in the comments section.
