There wasn't much I could really do with the vandal problem we had like a month ago because he was abusing multiple IP addresses and there's really no good way to combat it.

the fact that you just deliberately said you went behind my back and talked about me behind my back with MLD should be raising some major red flags for other users.

After discussion, I agreed that the mini review was a bad idea and wouldn't be used properly. (Additionally I never said that users could place their reviews on the review page for a blaster, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.) So please, just move on me and instead focus on the wiki itself.

you may not call yourself the owner, but you act as if you are. when i first arrived, i asked you to protect the new NSE releases and you responded with "would keep a close eye". we both knew those would get targeted and you would not protect them rather revert daily... there are better ways of handling things such as new information with limited staff.


 * bulbapedia doesn't trust the public and goes to lockdown mode when something big is released, happens everytime a new big game is released.

regarding the recent vandals, you wanted the media extensions. i replied and got no response. i even left you multiple talk page messages, again no response of any kind. you didn't even bother to copy it, you flat out ignored all those communications. normally your response would be to finish the request, this time nothing was done. you explain that, i have no idea what that means besides deliberate ignoring. plus you said earlier was when something isn't going to change then you ignore it. if you were to actually take the time to learn of all the tools and how to use/access them, you would know what to do rather than sit back. you literally sat back while me and GG took care of things. what else needs to be said? you didn't bother with wikia staff until the problem was resolved, then asked for abuse filter. do you call that effective?

its not one mistake that is the issue, its almost everytime that you try something and it fails. that's when it becomes a problem. since i'm leaving, i'm going to post your "original COC" before i revised it once. that was not mud slinging, rather information. did i not point out that i told you what the request was later and then you still failed to get the information? i told you the same things that i asked MLD to request from the PR, you even got a contact from MLD and still got nothing useful - that's what you told me, just a bunch of google image search results. how does is that not defined as failure?

we agreed to allow other users to post their own reviews under the formal review, did we not? you agreed to remove the template after i emailed you and that was after leaving you multiple reminders on your talk page. plus you waited like a month to delete the template since you forced me to start a worthless discussion that led no where. your discussion idea there didn't work either. i'm not trying to make you a villian. you failed your own duties as admin, that should be made clear to the community should it not if we are to pick a new local staff team? new users need to know that information to make a good decision. just as a tip: me and GG can maintain the wiki while you try the following out: take a break from nerf wiki, go help out a small wiki that is struggling and see if you are able to help the wiki get back on its feet. if you are not willing to do that then i suggest that you create a test wiki, that should help you learn all the tools that you don't know. i can't see how having you as an admin helps the wiki, i see it as harming the wiki. i have seen my share of admins that just want to hold on, keep the status quo and not allow updates. ladyblue did that to ice age, eventually left then did the same to the Rio wiki. that only locks the wiki down. the point is that i don't see you as either an effective or great admin here. yes you eliminate vandals, spammers, irrelevant images but that's about it. you didn't deal with disruptive users in any effective manner.

i have already wasted enough effort and time to improve this wiki. you in particular were in the way, now its the rest of the "stubborn" community that is a problem. i'm done with this merge, it failed. i already told wikia staff that this is a failure, no need to get their attention back...

This community verified my belief that nothing on wikia will work; plus i don't need this "commercial" license limiting what i can do.
