The recent actions of Lefty make me feel surprised and shocked. This post is to check Lefty's actions and also makes sure he does not do this kind of action again. There are ways to solve the problems or "punish" Lefty. We are welcome to hear Lefty from explaining his actions. Here are the list of items which we do not think a normal admin should do:
"Protecting pages because there are edit disputes"
A lot of pages has been blocked to prevent us from playing the difficulty. This never happens and I also take difficulty very seriously. To solve edit disputes, we should talk and negotiate with others to make a compromise, not protecting pages and ban users from expressing their opinions (this act is graded selfish). Some pages are even protected by no reason, e.g. level 70 and Target Score Levels. This means Lefty is overusing his powers in this wiki. The one who is changing the difficulty is Lefty. He does not ask us about the difficulty and then conduct the change. I have to revert his edit to show that he has to ask us before changing. I've also demonstrated to him how to ask someone's opinions. All the pages blocked do not experience vandalism.
"Interfering sandbox pages"
Lefty has been interfering my sandbox page, under my name. Sandbox pages are not allowed to be interfered. They are used to practice edits, propose edits and express opinions. Unless the sandbox page contains words that slander others, it should not be interfered and deleted. For the template (Level), I've also been testing to link to other pages with a different page name and it works.
"Block users with different opinions"
Lefty blocks me because I have different opinions. I've asked some of the users in Wild Ones Wiki and they agreed that Lefty should talk with me about the situation.
"His possible reactions"
"I own this wiki":
This wiki is under "Wikia", which is available for everyone to edit. Despite you founded this wiki, you agreed to let others to edit your wiki, you agreed to let others to monitor the wiki, including you. This means the community owns the wiki and has the right to say your edit is not good enough.
"Wildoneshelper does the wrong thing":
You may get a point of this. I do apologize for my aggressive act previously. However, I reverted your edit because you did not ask us for opinions. This is my reason why I did it. For the sandbox page, I did not slander you. This means I've done nothing wrong with the sandbox page. I create it because I want to be heard and I want to express my opinions.
"I protect the page because I don't let others to edit the difficulty":
To solve edit disputes, you should talk to others about it. Wikis should be freely edited. Pages which are protected means you promise to improve the page. The reality shows you did not. Level 100 is lacking a template you know and it will look really strange if level 99 and 101 own one and level 100 does not have one. Pages are protected because they experience excessive vandalism which our pages do not, except for List of Levels. Also remember that I created the difficulty system, I do not let you to own it. This means everyone is free to suggest changes.
"I do this for the wiki's sake":
Do you have an evidence in proving that your act represents everyone? I've received a message in a page complaining your edit. The complaint refers to the sudden downgrade of levels without consulting our opinions. This message also urges us to upgrade it back immediately. Your act represents everyone? I don't think so.
"What actions should we take?"
"Desysop Lefty":
Protecting a lot of pages without a reason means you overuse your powers. You deleted my sandbox page because you don't want me to express opinions. I've consulted opinions about this act and they generally agree with this idea. I will consult more in this thread and see if we send a report to Wikia to desysop Lefty.
"Give him one more chance":
I consider this also and I also want to see Lefty becoming friendly again. However, if things like this happen again, what we do is "desysop Lefty". Also, this wiki will be stereotyped by the fact of no bureaucrat or an "orphaned wiki". (Of course you may say I can adopt this wiki after he is desysoped but if the founder is not a bureaucrat in this wiki, it looks so strange, isn't it?)
Please tell us what you think about the actions we should take. It matters to this wiki and the freedom of editing to every users in this wiki.
This thread will be photographed.
