User blog comment:Jam7/PLEASE READ -- How much trust do you have in.../@comment-237406-20110303220319


 * An admin needs to be active on the wiki. That's it. People need to stop being judged by how often their in the IRC. That's just dumb, for real. This is the only wiki I've been on where that's a factor. Admins should be decided on their behavior on the wiki and their level of activity on the wiki. Who cares if you're on the IRC everyday? You can be an IRC admin.
 * Pretty much none. Didn't have much confidence when I was an admin, don't have much now.
 * No, I don't. In a wiki where people are scared to talk to the admins about change, and I don't blame them, how can we feel like this wiki is going in the right direction.

However, we're all looking at the wiki through beer goggles. We see the wiki as something it's not. When we think of the wiki we think of the IRC too much. It's the IRC that's a mess in my opinion. The wiki is great. If there was no IRC, I feel like people wouldn't be so crammed together. On the wiki I feel like people think more before going to somebody's talk page and leaving a message.

If I had to think of people to become admins, the first person that comes to mind is CD-TDA. She's a hardworker, and I know that there's a complaint that she's a behavior issue on the IRC. Well don't give her power on the IRC then, just let her be able to be an admin on the wiki like she deserves.

Separation of IRC and Wiki is truly what this wiki needs I believe. Yes, the IRC is convenient for chatting, but am I the only one that has noticed that almost every fight in the community takes place in the IRC? What if we just got rid of the IRC?

On a final note, in response to ishni's suggestion of promoting me, if I was truly needed back I'd return and take place as admin if I'd be allowed to (However I doubt the other admins would want me back at this point). I've been told a few times since I quit that I should come back and become an admin, but I trust that the current admins to get it done. I don't really think I'm needed back, but if the users think I am then I'll return.

So thanks for reading, peace out.
