There was a nomination to demote an Administrator a very short time ago as I'm sure all of you remember. Said Administrator simply was not as active as they should have been and were a little rude in the eyes of the public. And yet they also wanted a demotion to rollback, rather than full demotion entirely.

So, minor offenses that led to a large demotion (though the user eventually simply gave in all their rights. And yet, Esdeath who has far more power and FAR more evidence against him is only going to be demoted to an Administrator. Hell, some of the actions listed above, especially the IP tracking and threatening is a direct violation of not only THIS wiki's policies, but also the policies of Wikia as a whole. These are not petty claims. The IP incident happened THIS year. As well as the discriminating and attacking as well as threatening a transgender user into exposing herself happened THIS month. VERY recently. This is not ancient history folks. This is stuff that's happening NOW.

My point is thusly, demoting General Esdeath to an Admin is literally slapping him on the wrist. It will accomplish NOTHING. Which is why I am very concerned as to why this seems to be being taken so lightly to have such a small punishment. Well actually. From reading the thread about preda, she had been consistently inactive in her duties for many consecutive months and had only been editing for the purpose of badge hunting. Along with that she had been consistently AFK in chat and/or aggressive towards users who weren't 'preda's friends.'

The issue here is that much of the evidence against nedz is either horrendously out of date (more than a year old) and/or is not his consistant behaviour. This is including the IP incident as this wiki has shown multiple times that it often doesn't care about cross wikia issues. Now then as to the discussion nedz had with said trans person. Yes that was an offence on his part, hell I was angry reading that, however that's one action towards someone, I hardly think that, that is deserving of calling for his head on a spike. Plus once again bringing up the point of demoting him down to nothing means that there will be a giant gap in chat moderation as there are currently a lack of likely candidates who are suitable for the role.

Ergo demoting Nedz down to nothing will do more harm than good and even then the evidence to demote him completely is in my opinion nothing but screaming for his head on a pike despite the damage it would cause.
