User:Linkthewindow

I've become less interested in this place lately and have gone pretty much inactive over the past couple of weeks. In the interests of not having a 'crat who isn't active enough in the community to really make appropriate judgments on A/RE and A/PM, I would like to step down from 'crat now. I'll stay on as a sysop for now (as I want to get the guides namespace fixed in my time,) and it's also obvious that inactive sysops aren't as bad as inactive crats.

I also apologize to the community for making them have two 'crat bids in (roughly) a month. I thought about leaving this a month for this reason, but talked myself out of it due to the torrent of A/RE bids that's soon to arrive ;). Linkthewindow  Talk  13:49, 10 September 2009 (BST)

Damn. =( Least you're staying on as a sysop though. I'll stick the new 'crat election up now so just feel free to demote yourself when you're next on. Either than or Boxy'll get it when he sees it. He was floating about a little while ago. -- Cheese 22:48, 10 September 2009 (BST)
Thanks Cheese. Since we usually don't touch our own bids, I'll leave this for Boxy. Linkthewindow  Talk  01:13, 11 September 2009 (BST)
Yeah, I was super relieved when I saw that you're staying on as sysop. Cyberbob  Talk  02:01, 11 September 2009 (BST)

I can't believe I laughed at that. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 03:24, 11 September 2009 (BST)
Why not? I'm laughing too. Cyberbob  Talk  03:25, 11 September 2009 (BST)
Yeah but you're laughing coz you think you're all superior coz you're tertiary educated and from melbourne.--ALiM style, ya dig? 07:24, 11 September 2009 (BST)

And by Tertiary education, we mean Uni. Not "Games Workshop"--I'm a motherfuckin' lyrical wordsmith motherfuckin' genius! 07:41, 11 September 2009 (BST)
Fairynuff, Link... but please keep the 'crat status until a new one is elected, even if you're less active. I'm pretty busy ATM, and can't guarantee to be on if needed in a hurry (not that it's an issue much) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 17:02 11 September 2009 (BST)

User:Swiers

He's now less than 12 hours from 4 months of inactivity. =( Time for the nudge? -- Cheese 16:12, 27 August 2009 (BST)

A bit late, but Link and SA seem to be away lots, so I've left a notice on his talk page. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:44, 31 August 2009 (BST)
Thanks for that. Yeah, I've been away a fair bit lately and I think SA's having computer problems :(. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:55, 31 August 2009 (BST)
Yeah, I think I remember him saying something about video card problems. Cyberbob  Talk  08:02, 31 August 2009 (BST)

hahha, me likey.--ALiM style, ya dig? 04:09, 5 September 2009 (BST)

I'd like to suggest that we let swiers demotion to be ruled through his re-evalatuion. Demotion through inactivity main goal is to remove sysops who rule on vandal and misconduct cases, which were areas that swiers never had interest in. Swiers also had interest in the position for the tools that come together with it, so if he is to ever return to his duties as a contributor i believe he might need them. --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 16:13, 5 September 2009 (BST)

If he ever returns he can make a promotions bid just like everyone else who got inactivity-demoted. Cyberbob  Talk  16:28, 5 September 2009 (BST)
Hangnut we have little things called rules here you crazy negress.--ALiM style, ya dig? 06:26, 6 September 2009 (BST)

Alright. It's had its time now. Box? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:13, 6 September 2009 (BST)

The warning was placed on Monday the 31st... that means that Monday the 7th is the day to do de deed, eh? -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:51 6 September 2009 (BST)
*cough* :c --Bob Boberton TF / DW Image:Littlemudkipsig.gif 04:31, 9 September 2009 (BST)

OK, it seems clear that Swiers has gone inactive, so I've demoted him -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:08 9 September 2009 (BST)

Look at your crazy indents. Final Term of Degree begins in a week, kind of need to focus, fresh blood, blah, etc. Im sure. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness -Wants a new city 09:26, 16 August 2009 (BST)
Alright, good luck with your degree, and if you decide to run again. Since SA thinks I don't need to ask him before demoting someone on A/DM, you're demoted. Good luck if you decide to run again ;). Linkthewindow  Talk  09:50, 16 August 2009 (BST)
Since Ross seems to have a revolving door on this sysop thing why bother to demote him? Why not just make him inactive? If he is going to come back in like 5 months or so what's the point? I like the kid, but this seems kind of silly to keep doing. He's never had a problem coming back either. He gets vouched right in.--– Nubis NWO 22:59, 16 August 2009 (BST)
If someone wants to be demoted, they shouldn't have the crats stand in their way, IMO. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:47, 17 August 2009 (BST)
It's the sense of responsibility, if having it makes him come back and takes time from his finals, then I wouldn't feel in a position to question his decision. Either way, there's no point in forcing him to stay a sysop, its just stupid. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 08:20, 17 August 2009 (BST)
My point is why make him jump through all the hoops again when all he really needs is a leave of absence? Just seems like it would be easier overall. That way we don't have 20 Ross sysop bids, too. :) --– Nubis NWO 13:14, 17 August 2009 (BST)
In fairness i do a lot more around here when i am demoted. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness -Wants a new city 16:06, 17 August 2009 (BST)
True. Oh well, let Ross do it his way if he's prepared to do it the more prestigious method ;) --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:26, 19 August 2009 (BST)
Too right. Whens this team manhunt? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rosslessness (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.


Z. slay3r

I am not in the condition to be an administrator anymore. I visit the site rarely and don't really contribute frequently enough to warrant the status of sysop. Maybe some other time. --ZsL 07:06, 9 June 2009 (BST)

Damn, you have been a great contributor in the time I've been here, and always helping out with those damn admin ques and small, annoying tasks. Assuming SA agrees, are you sure about being demoted? Linkthewindow  Talk  07:49, 9 June 2009 (BST)
Whether we agree or not, he will still be demoted. It's his choice, he just has to come back and say "I'm sure".--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 16:51, 9 June 2009 (BST)
Thanks for the compliments, but I'm sure. I might reapply for sysop in the future, if I become more active, though. --ZsL 19:51, 9 June 2009 (BST)
Thanks for your work here, you have been demoted.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 20:15, 9 June 2009 (BST)
Aren't you suppose to remove him from the sysops activity check below aswell? I'd do it, but...you know...--Thadeous Oakley 20:30, 9 June 2009 (BST)

Thari

He's two days away from the 4 month mark and he's made a grand total of 11 edits this year. Methinks a nudge is in order. -- Cheese 15:32, 16 May 2009 (BST)

Saw this earlier, and I'll nudge him soonish, assuming SA doesn't get there first :P Linkthewindow  Talk  15:43, 16 May 2009 (BST)
While you both are here, who wants to update the UDWiki:Administration/Misconduct/Archive page? I wish I could do this junk myself and not bug you all, but I'm not a sysop. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:49, 16 May 2009 (BST)
No you. Also, I've already nudged him. Telling him that he has one week and two days from now is kind of useless. :) --Mr. Angel, Help needed? 15:51, 16 May 2009 (BST)

Thari was a good user and a good sysop. For a brazilian to say this about an argentinian means a lot ;) He was an old dinosaur, like me, so its not surprising to see another one of us go. --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 21:17, 16 May 2009 (BST)

I guess that means it's time... DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 13:06, 25 May 2009 (BST)

Well, his edits this year I could nearly count on my fingers, and all of them are in January. I've pinged SA, to get him to come over here and state his point of view.
I'm fine with demoting him. He's clearly inactive, as per the policy. Linkthewindow  Talk  13:23, 25 May 2009 (BST)

Thari has been demoted, simply because he's too lazy to show up here. :(.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 13:22, 25 May 2009 (BST)

A year of dealing with the pettiest of the user base and having to actively go out of your way to protect new users from them is more than enough for anyone.

Alas, this has been looming for a while. While I regret the necessity, I appreciate your having the maturity to realise the situation, see where it was going, and take the appropriate action.

I am sure about it. During my vacation i took some time to think about what i have done right and wrong last year, and one of the wrong that occured to me was to come back to udwiki and ask to be promoted again.

Rosslessness

Rosslessness

I'm sick of all the trolling, petty acts of vandalism and general flaming that makes up my days on the wiki. As such I'd like to request a demotion. It's making me cry.

On a more serious note. 9 Hours ago I got a phone call from a course coordinator confirming I'd got a place on the final year of a degree and wondering where I was. Which was interesting, as induction closed last week and no one had bothered telling me.

I'd like to thank you all for your time and patience, and encourage you to join St. Ferreol's Hospital Noise Abatement Society. At least I managed to sort out the Borehamwood namespace in my time.

I may come back in a couple of days for a ban on the account as well, but not yet. So just demotion. Please?

Someone want to ask if I'm sure? --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness -Wants a new city 22:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Positive?--Suicidal Angel - Help needed? 22:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if I can post here (sorry if I can't), but I wanted to ask you, why the ban too? You're never going to come back to the Wiki? :| --Janus Abernathy ~ ~ ~ ~ AZS 22:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I'm sure. I never said a permaban. People can request banning of accounts for a year, and have so in the past. --Mr. Borehamwood -Rosslessness -Wants a new city 23:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Wells, I can't change user rights /bureaucrat powers, but if you want a ban in a few days, I can do that. Although you know, you could just not log in for a while, then come back without having to deal with the paperwork involved with removing a ban.--Suicidal Angel - Help needed? 23:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to ask one more time if you're sure and if you are I'll agree to your demotion. -- Cheese 23:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, don't ask for a ban Ross! There are many wonderful gems on this wiki, once you get past the grime. You could just not log in, it can be hard, but possible. ;) --  AHLGTH 00:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

You could have just changed the email address associated with the account. Immediate demotion is a bit silly, since it takes less than a minute to do, and you were obviously there to do it. --The Grimch U! E! 11:08, 22 September 2008 (BST)
Thank you Boxy, after things get sorted I should come back but since I have been in semi-wikicomma for a while I don't think I am up to speed enough on current wiki policy to start oping again. I wish changing the email for the account would contain it but it is looking like more and more like my entire machine is compromised so I would rather play it safe 01:25, 23 September 2008 (BST)

I am done with this place. Our userbase no longer support common sense, but like to have their hands tied to red tape. Long term users which should be helping newbies are harrasing them for shits and giggles. The administration staff which should be helping to bring peace and order to the community is shatered between bureaucrats (not the wiki position), weaklings, rebels without a case, and users which only use their position on their own benefit. It was fun being part of this community, but the fun is over and the only thing that is left is a constant annoyance that takes a lot of time to resolve. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk 14:55, 10 June 2008 (BST)

I've made my mind. The wiki has been taking too much time, in an unhealthy and unhappy way, and a time i can't afford to spend anymore. It was fun most of the time, and i'll prolly miss this place and some of its users in the future, but it finally reached the tipping point where staying here is more of a pain than a pleasure. You can still contact me in my talk page, i'll try to reply if and when i have time for it.

Cheers for the great times mate, funny how we both requested for demotion around the same time for the same reasons. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 11:00, 22 May 2008 (BST)

OK, if you're really sure. I'll give Vantar a poke, and he can demote you. Thanks for everything, especially when you disagreed -- boxy talk • i 01:31 23 May 2008 (BST)

Dux Ducis

I'm not that active anymore so there's no reason for me to be a Sysop. Time to hand in my gun and badge.

I've also made a template for me and other Sysops demoted due to inactivity. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 04:11, 4 May 2008 (BST)

This user was once a sysop.
Be a pity to see you go, Dux. I will leave it for Vantar to do the deed (and give you time to reconsider one last time) -- boxy talk • i 10:04 4 May 2008 (BST)
Why delay the inevitable? I really should have put myself up for demotions earlier. It was a great bash here on the UD wiki and on UD. I may pop in from time to time. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 12:40, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Mobius187

Well folks it's been one hell of a ride, but every ride must come to an end. I've decided the time for ending that ride is now. Since I consider myself to be a responsible Mod I decided the best thing I could do at this stage was let you guys know that I'll no longer be around so I'll need to be demoted so that someone else can bask in the fame/glory of Moddom. Again, it's been fun and I'm glad I was able to contribute to the UD Wiki as much as I was able to up until now. Good luck and keep up the great work. :) --Mobius 00:16, 16 April 2008 (BST)

It will be a shame to see you go, your work has practically defined what a location page should be, but if you think it is time to call it quits I can accept that, just need to wait for Boxy so he can turn his key - Vantar 00:31, 16 April 2008 (BST)
Demoted, thanks for your contributions -- boxy talk • i 08:24 22 April 2008 (BST)

Darth Sensitive

I've been away for a long time. Haven't touched the game much at all, lost most contact with my groups. I'm out of touch with the community, and didn't highly use mod powers for a while before that. I'm not a big fan of the confrontational style of SysOp-ing that goes on. I wish we had remained moderators, with the attendant goals of politeness. I may return sometime, maybe even request promotion. But until then, I've been a supporter of getting rid of unused powers, and I'm going to voluntarily give up my own. --Darth Sensitive Talk W! 06:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

It will be a pity to see you bow out, but I agree to your request for demotion, and await Vantar's input -- boxy talk • i 13:45 20 February 2008 (BST)

Yes I have wandered off into the realms of the inactive. While I continue to enjoy playing several times a week I will likely not be participating here on the wiki at the level I once was. Please feel free to make the demotion at your earliest convince. Thanks for the heads up. Have fun and stay safe. --Max Grivas JG / M.F.T. 02:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I dont like this, but the policy passed. The above sysops need to be demoted as they are inactive for more than 4 months. --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 22:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Vista

I'm not going to be around for a long while. My work and private life is costing me enough problems that I don't fucking need to look for it here. I used to come here to unwind but lately that just ain't working for me anymore. I've had it up to here with the cliquish shit this wiki had become. As I won't be around I won't be a good bureaucrat or sysop so get rid of those for me will you, boxy? I doubt that I'll miss them if I return. And If I do It'll give me an excuse to actually try and have fun here, instead of being a janitor and professional nag.-- Vista  +1  16:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Id like to try and dissuade you, if i can. Vista, you are a great sysop (Way better than myself, and im not afraid to admit it). There is no need to quit just because you are sick of some drama. If its really getting to you, just take a month or two off and bask elsewhere while this all blows over and you regain your sanity. I hear real life is a good place to go, and if you are into reading, i have a number of book suggestions for you. Ian Banks is a very good author, pretty much anything written by him is worth a read, but especially The Algebraist. --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 16:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel this way, but can understand it. However I'd like to also say that your insights (not nags) are very welcome from my perspective (especially when you think it's me that has stepped out of line) with the spirit or even letter of the rules, even if I end up disagreeing. Can I suggest you keep your sysops status for now (it may be removed due to future policy change if you truly do become inactive anyway). I am hopeful that you will return as you have before. But if you are sure, please confirm it again for me -- boxy • talk • 10:27 15 November 2007 (BST)

Heh :) -- boxy • talk • 23:34 18 November 2007 (BST)

Anywho, I guess that Vista isn't going to answer, so I'm going to demote him to sysops. I've not much time, so if any of the other sysops would like to start up a new promotions round for the vacant bureaucrat position, feel free -- boxy • talk • 23:34 18 November 2007 (BST)

Djeez do I feel like a jerk for leaving this way. Although my temper got the better of me and I seriously regret it, it's really for the best. I'm chronically overworked and the stress is clearly showing. I simply can't contribute to the wiki in any meaningful way for a couple of months yet. I'm fine with me keeping my sysop status just in case although I wouldn't have minded having to re-earn it if/when I return. Thanks for the kind words and I won't be a stranger.-- Vista  +1  20:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I feel that it is a little bit of a shame that you are leaving, but I totally understand. I'm working 6 or 7 days a week and I can only really do the wiki for 20min a day max. Then again, it really does help you prioritise. Hope you come back soon, refreshed and ready. Drama's a bitch. --Ducis DuxSlothTalk 09:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Matthewfarenheit

I'm trying to push some policies that I believe would be the best thing for the wiki. Not only the ones I currently posted, but more. Now, my detractors are insisting on false accusations that I act on my own interest and power hunger. No sweat: please demote me as I was planning to get demoted anyways, but after the policies were approved. If this gives them the power and credibility they need, and gives my opponents a little bit less to talk about, then consider it done, even if in the end I accomplish nothing. It's a shame to lose the extra tools, but whatever, with a little bit of luck I could recover them someday XD. --Matthew Fahrenheit YRC☺T☺+1 08:02, 30 August 2007 (BST)

I'll ask for confirmation that you still want this to go through, and for Darth's agreement -- boxy 11:51, 30 August 2007 (BST)
Yap, I still want this =). --Matthew Fahrenheit YRC☺T☺+1 17:58, 30 August 2007 (BST)

Sorry all, the transition to college and the increased workload have not helped my ability to keep up here. Up till August, I was keeping up with the changes, but the last month has been hectic. --Darth Sensitive Talk W! 04:16, 15 September 2007 (BST)

Gage

I no longer wish to be a sysop. My reasons are myriad, and main amongst them are the fact that I'm busy with college and I really don't have time to put up with the drama here. I worked hard on this wiki, and to tell you the truth I don't know why I did it. The entire time it felt like I was walking uphill in sand carrying heavy weights; progress was being made, but it would have been easier to just find another way to do it. I know I wasn't especially nice to a lot of people here, but you have to understand that I found the experience extremely frustrating. I can honestly say I wish I had never come here at all. I made enemies, that was never my intentions, though sometimes it might have seemed that way. And so, now, I owe a few people an apology:

First and foremost is MrAushvitz. I'm sorry for all the shit I put you through over your suggestions. That wasn't right of me. My behavior was inexcusable.

Labine50, I know we haven't gone at it in a while, but I still feel the need to set things right. I'm sorry for antagonizing you. That was not cool of me.

Last, but certainly not least is Matthewfarenheit; our conflict was long and stupid. As much as I'd love to blame you for it all, I know that I at least have to shoulder half of it, if not more. So I'm also sorry for that.

Sorry for feeding this drama filled hellhole guys. Though I told myself while I was doing it I was making a positive contribution, I don't know that I was anymore. And so, this is the time to step down. Farewell.--Gage 03:18, 10 May 2007 (BST)

Well - it's sad to see you go. Would you please confirm your request for demotion? --Darth Sensitive Talk W! 04:37, 10 May 2007 (BST)

Sure. Please return me to normal user status. No extra responsibility for me. No sir.--Gage 07:08, 10 May 2007 (BST)
as a sysop you always did a wonderful job. as a moderator.. you had your good and bad times. --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 15:56, 10 May 2007 (BST)
I support your demotion, Boxy? --Darth Sensitive Talk W! 21:20, 10 May 2007 (BST)
I agree with the decision, and thanks to Gage for your work. I'm not sure I would have been any less drama prone if I had been active during the period you came to the position -- boxy T L ZS Nuts2U DA 01:56, 11 May 2007 (BST)
As such, Gage has been demoted to the status of a normal user. Archive this at will. --Darth Sensitive Talk W! 04:55, 11 May 2007 (BST)

Jedaz

Hey, I've decided that I want to be demoted. Lately I have been feeling that the wiki doens't have anything to offer me and it has often been a source of frustration. In between feeling like I don't get enough recognition to both normal users and moderators flaming (namely Cyberbobs) it's just no longer worth my time to even try any more. So, in short, I'm going to leave the wiki for who knows how long, and to avoid being surprised when someone finnaly gets the policy to remove inactive moderators powers I've just decided to get demoted now. - JedazΣT ΞD 05:39, 19 September 2006 (BST)

I don't think we should give him the dignity. I've been holding these in reserve, but here are screenies of two conversations Jedaz had on the Scroll Wars wiki.

Now, in light of that, can we really offer Jedaz the chance to honourably bow out? Cyberbob  Talk  05:50, 19 September 2006 (BST)

Oh, and I like the little convo Gold Blade had with his "back rub buddies" about his attempts to "pull me down". Cyberbob  Talk  05:52, 19 September 2006 (BST)

You do realize that a links to the images better don't you? It doesn't confuse the conversation as much. Don't worry, I don't mind because no one noticed me so there isn't any honour built up to be lost. Also you've just helped prove my point on why I'm so sick of this wiki, and why I made those comments. Why should I help when all I get is un-supportive peers? - JedazΣT ΞD 05:57, 19 September 2006 (BST)
If you feel so malicious towards us all, I see no reason why you should be allowed to leave on your own terms. Cyberbob  Talk  06:00, 19 September 2006 (BST)
I'm doing the responsible thing and chosing to leave this crap. I don't have to vandalise to make a point, although it is much more obvious if I do. Would you prefer if I just went and vandalised the wiki so that I'm kicked off? Geeze get over it, I'm going out this way, it's my choice. - JedazΣT ΞD 06:06, 19 September 2006 (BST)
If you vandalise, the only difference will be that we won't have to wait for the policy to be passed. The end result will be the same as if you didn't vandalise, so it really makes no difference. Choose to leave if you wish. But you won't be doing it on good grace, not if I can help it. Cyberbob  Talk  06:08, 19 September 2006 (BST)
The difference is that with the policy I'll probably be perma-banned without doing anything, where as a normal user I could have two cases of vandalism and not have anything done to me. Either way I'm not going to vandalise, but I know that if I stay as a moderator I'll be the first burnt by this policy. Anyway, you can carry out your vendetta against me, but that doesn't prove anything other then you can't see when people are trying to make up for their mistakes. - JedazΣT ΞD 06:18, 19 September 2006 (BST)
I gave you plenty of opportunity to make up for them on the SW wiki. Too late, Jedaz. Too. Late. We already covered why mods get the straight-off ban. I'm not going to go into it again. Cyberbob  Talk  06:22, 19 September 2006 (BST)
Yes, antagonising me is really giving me an opportunity to explain myself. Anyway I'm done with you, forever. - JedazΣT ΞD 06:25, 19 September 2006 (BST)
Bye. Exit's third door on your left. Cyberbob  Talk  06:30, 19 September 2006 (BST)

Jedaz: I want to keep you on board if I can, because although you take a very behind-the-scenes role here, I think you are valuable as a moderator. Are you absolutely and completely sure that you want to be demoted? There is no precedent for moderators asking for demotion, so I want to be sure that you want this without a doubt. –Bob Hammero Mod•B'crat•T•A 06:49, 19 September 2006 (BST)

Yes, I'm sure. I don't want to work in an enviroment where I feel that my peers don't trust me any more. If I do decide eventually that I may want to become a moderator again then I will go through the promotions page. Honestly, after over two months of moving suggestions, and not feeling recognised or supported by my peers, even some of them trying to take me down, I just want to get away from it all. Hence is why I'm asking for this demotion. - JedazΣT ΞD 06:58, 19 September 2006 (BST)
I understand how you feel. Have you considered that the very area that you chose to focus on (maintaining the suggestions page) is probably the most thankless part of the wiki? Believe me, I'm grateful that you're there to do the job, and I'm sure other people would be as well if they had helped you with it before as well. Have you thought about taking a break and then trying a more active area of the wiki instead? –Bob Hammero Mod•B'crat•T•A 07:02, 19 September 2006 (BST)
If you really want me to I can take a break, but I don't think it'll change how I feel. I wouldn't have any clue where else I could help out on the wiki as most of it's already covered by other users. If I decided to come back then the only thing I wouldn't really be able to do in relation to the suggestions system would be protecting the pages. Every other moderator functions are sufficiency covered. - JedazΣT ΞD 07:12, 19 September 2006 (BST)

So whats the decision? I don't think it's too hard to grant me this. I've waited for over an hour for something that I belive should be strait forwards. - Jedaz - 23:17/21/11/2009 08:34, 19 September 2006 (BST)

You're lucky I got my internet back today, or else you'd be waiting longer. Alright. Bob has asked you, and I'll ask you one last time; are you certain? If you say yes, there will be no going back. –Xoid S•T•FU! 08:39, 19 September 2006 (BST)
I am 100% sure that I don't want my moderator abilitys any more. So yes, I'm certain. - Jedaz - 23:17/21/11/2009 08:44, 19 September 2006 (BST)

Pending your response to Xoid, I will state my decision for the record: we cannot force someone to be a Moderator if he or she does not wish to fulfill the responsibilities carried by that role any longer. Just as desire to be a Moderator is a requirement for promotion, so should a later lack of that desire be grounds enough for demotion when requested. I believe that you should be demoted, in accordance with your request. –Bob Hammero Mod•B'crat•T•A 08:42, 19 September 2006 (BST)

By the power invested in me, you're no longer a mod. Bye Jedaz, sorry things came to this. –Xoid S•T•FU! 08:48, 19 September 2006 (BST)

Don't be, I had a good run while I was here. Thanks. - Jedaz - 23:17/21/11/2009 08:50, 19 September 2006 (BST)

Well, it's fairly clear I don't need my powers anymore, since I'm not here, period. In the interests of cleaning up, I'd like my Mod priviledges stripped from my account. -- Odd Starter T M W! 04:05, 24 September 2006 (BST)
