i know this has been called out many times by multiple users. and it has for the most part been denied or shot down, if not ignored and even deleted. which disgusts me.
the wikis moderation team is extremely awful.
yes, we have a history of silencing users when they criticize us. yes, we can even be tyrannical.
and i admit i have been an awful mod as well.
i apologize to the users who have been silenced by us- especially when speaking against this. because in all honestly you’re completely right.
i want to say thank you for those who did speak up, because you knew how awful the team can be, and you still spoke up anyways.
this post isn’t meant to attack the mod team, but it is supposed to be criticism of the team- as a person who is still on the team i honestly agree the system is not well worked out currently.
and of course the team works hard at their job, but i know at least i haven’t been doing so in the right way.
this isn’t a callout post, rather it is me addressing as an admin that i agree the staff team is messed up right now and that needs to be talked about and worked on. this isn’t to start drama, rather it is to deal with this issue so we can run the wiki better to make people feel safe and happy here. and while there are many changes to make, none of them can be done without starting at the root of the problem.
thank you for reading this, and i would again like to apologize for my behavior as a moderator. i am far from innocent in this situation.
