Forum:Removal of Technology Wizard's admin rights

Technology Wizard is a rat who likes to stick his nose into everything and create political drama without adding any value to the dialogue.

Ironically, given his namesake, his technical incompetency is illustrated by poor knowledge of how the wiki software works and the fact that all his edits are marked as minor even a week after being shown how and why to correct it, prior to which he had no knowledge of what a minor edit was. Moreover, as seen on this page, he unilaterally moved this page to the forum by copying and pasting the content thereby destroying the page history.

He has selfishly mass-modified the community messages page in rapid succession so that all 375,000 users per day to the wiki are harassed by the same popup message repeatedly just so that he can perform testing.

He blocks first time editors without warning. They may not do a good job because they are new to editing and some may not understand that their tests go live immediately and should use a sandbox if they wish to test. It is the job of admins to help guide new users so that they may make good contributions in future, not to ban them without so much as a warning beforehand.

I therefore nominate Technology Wizard for the removal of admin rights which will not impede his ability to add value to the wiki.

Support

 * 1) Selfish, mindless and incompetent drama queen. --BBilge 09:09, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree. His wiki aptitude has improved over the time he's been here, but I still find it lacking for an admin position. I also have to agree that he's always been a drama queen, I mean just read his comments. -- 00:12, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah but don't consider the things Tech has done, I mean you aren't using a template made by him or anything -.-
 * I don't follow. Do you need to be an admin to create templates? I wasn't when I created mine. --BBilge 00:57, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't talking to you obviously, also refrain from talking to me, I don't need anymore problems. I don't even know why you wasted your time making this, it's simply pathetic.

Neutral

 * 1) Learning when and when not to act is just as important as learning how and how not to behave. Tech really REALLY needs to work on his "When's" Asperon Thorn 14:43, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I dont mind Tech he has always been active since i have come to this wiki and strives to improve this wiki to the best of his ability and this would also mean that we would only have 1 admin. --LoLisNumbaWan 09:29, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) In what way does having one admin comprise a problem? --BBilge 09:49, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Protect pages from editing, if they have been heavily vandalized.
 * View deleted pages and comments.
 * Modify the achievement badges, and create new ones.
 * Mass delete pages and comments created by the same user in one click.
 * Edit the Wiki's interface files.

if one of these things needed to be done and no admin+ was active though it is unlikely to happen because we have Neon


 * 1)  I've seen that he's nice, he does everything in good will, he's also rather active. I can't see reason to remove his admin rights. MatthewRock 09:31, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Insulting someone is no way to demote them. Ilkcs 19:37, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Explanation  TehAnonymous  20:33, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I kinda don't get why do you want to demote Tech, He's great and all. If you are opposed by his comment, You need to change your attitude first. Paul Levesque 02:59, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) No reason to remove him, He's contributing to wiki as usual. Just like IIkcs said. Sudarsono 07:36, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) "Selfish, mindless and incompetent drama queen" (Quoted from BBilge). Hmm... ROFL, just ROFL. Is the donkey talking about the rabbit's big ears?  20:08, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am still trying to figure out that word for people that call other people what they feel about themselves, anyone know it?

Comments

 * Straight from Ajraddatz "What is done currently is usually starting a forum on it, and removing the user's rights for the duration of the forum. To get the rights back, there needs to be around 80% in support of giving them back, just like another RfA, but with slightly more focus on discussion than a popularity contest," this was a response to a question regarding abusing rights. Which I kind of see BBilge making a case for. I want direct wording though if BBilge feels as though Tech was abusing his rights. 09:51, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, not that I doubt Aj, but since when does one person to make the rules? There is no point for another nomination if it's only one person that changed his/her mind. If we were to do something like this, I would prefer to do it Kaz's way and do it like we did for Nystus.
 * I woudn't call it abusing his rights because that implies deliberation but incompetency isn't deliberate. However, his poor attitude might be deliberate and may constitute abuse. That wouldn't be directly related to rights but I look at it this way: I wouldn't want this person with this attitude with rights running any of my wikis. --BBilge 11:07, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ahh i havent seen Tech even abuse his rights all i see on this page are insults to Tech. --LoLisNumbaWan 09:58, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * From what u have said BBilge i would like to see the sorce it has come from, can u provide it pls, ty in advance. --LoLisNumbaWan 11:10, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * BBilge - go take rest, eat sandwitch, than come and insult admin. Poor attitude? Lol, he's friendly.MatthewRock 12:37, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * For the most, yes. As it stands my hands are tied on this issue until more evidence/a case about right abuse is brought forth. Until then this seems like it will go on like another RfA. 10:05, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sigh so many permission requests this month. --LoLisNumbaWan 10:08, August 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Though i kinda like this way just as well as making a forum --LoLisNumbaWan 09:55, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I lack wiki knowledge? You realize that you're supposed to make a forum for these type of things. Also the formatting you made on this was completely wrong. I think you're being the drama queen just because I reminded Neon that you no longer had the need for admin rights because you finished editing the CSS. If there's anyone that should be watched and supervised, it's you. The only good thing you've done for the wiki is remodel the home page. Other than that, everybody knows that you are trolling all of us and trying to ruin the current balance we have in the wiki. All your blog posts start with "This site really needs..." meaning that you are trying to instigate a problem for all of us to fight about. You complain about everything and act as if you're helpless, I am actually surprised that nobody has made a forum to ban you from our community for constantly causing problems.
 * I can't stop laughing at this. I have more things to worry about than a child looking for attention. Also you realize you created an admin nomination page for yourself and started talking about my adminship? xD Oh well, just another way for BBilge to get the attention he obviously starves for.
