NeonSpotlight, thank you for all the good you've done for the wiki. Everyone who visits a page you, or a user you've affected, has edited appreciates it, whether they know it or not.

The community backlash is such that they are lost and confused. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that an average user doesn't know or, particularly, care about. They want to know why one of their favorite little features is gone, and they want to voice their opinion. When you get such a group of people in one place, you get a myriad of diverse opinions, each person attempting to garner control of the situation in their own way, because they don't know how to rectify the situation.

You find situations like these a lot in the political world, and all you can do is grin and bear it, find the diamonds in the rough that agree with you, and state your own own opinion.

Now, about the user Nystus. The user has certainly made many, many - good - edits in the past. But what about now?

In addition, looking at his contribution history, he's been inactive since 2011, and what's one of his first moves? To start a vote to strip the administrator status from users that have both been around longer, and contributed more recently, than he has(including the founder of this Wiki, mind you), for "inactivity".

And then, to make a comment removal decision, immediately following a community-wide vote to keep the Wiki's comment section, shows poor judgement on his part. When you say "kick", do you mean remove him from the wiki, or remove his administrator rights? Personally, I would like to see his administrator rights stripped, but his account to stay active. Like I said earlier, he has contributed very positively to this Wiki in the past with his edits, but his recent administrator abuse is... troubling.

What do you think?
