I mostly have avoided this site due to the fact that I feel like the wiki is poorly governed. I feel like a lot of the admins are difficult to approach and those that can approach don't exactly command a lot of respect. I've held correspondance (and even in-person conversation) with several members of the wiki who share my sentiments that the administration needs some work. It feels like book one King's Landing up in this place, with unresolved tension that seems to be breaking right now. Let's hope no one gets their heads lopped off in the process.

I agree with Amet and with Jordan, but I have to add some stuff.

First off, I walked into this with a ton of experience and from the start showed that I was not afraid to go the extra mile. I made a gif to expose that one of the pieces of art (a commissioned piece, even) was traced. I have been admin on roleplaying sites previously as well as a roleplaying group on tumblr. I have years and years of writing experience and I know the character guidelines better than I know my own household rules. I've critiqued several characters. I am removed enough from everyone's circles that I am unbiased in arguements and often abstain from weighing in. What BAFFLES me, is that even during times where help was clearly needed and I offered to take a low ranking position and just review OCs. I have gone to both the highest authorities on the wiki about this and Jordan has vouched for me and I've heard nothing. Instead, I see greenhorns as chatmods and the pending section overflowing. Apparently, I'm not a friend of the admins. Perhaps I'm just not on often enough. That's probably the case, but even then, I feel as if I've been repeatedly brushed off.

We've gotten big! This site is huge now and we need a much more structured approach to things! Things need to be strictly business and strictly personal.

The bottom line is that we need MORE people with authority and those people need to be ready to use it and have to want their job and have to have the character for it. Yes, I'm a pompous, self-centered social justice warrior, but I'm a pompous, self-centered sjw who knows how to do things.

I have more issues that are non-related to this thread in particular, but I will likely bring up eventually.

I have put so much work into this wiki, into my characters, my Kaisers... I would hate to see this site go to ruin. I may not have been here for the initial revolution, but I've heard the story from many of you. This is indeed a Game of Wikis, it seems, and you all did great and unseated the mad king Hope and Chaos. Hopefully, no one here will be getting gored by a boar, certainly not Tsubori, but hopefully those here that get the reference understand what I mean.

There was once a time when I was proud to be a member of this wiki, I felt like I was accomplishing something, being something above the rest, something ordered, something structured. Now I make a face like I've swallowed something foul and try to avoid even bringing up the topic. So I'm glad this is happening. I'm glad we're bringing this to light. I'm glad we're going to get better. I love this place. I love all of you so much and I want to contribute the best I can. It's frustrating when I see all these problems and I beg for the ability to help and I'm ignored.

I can't do much at the currently moment, as circumstances have found me without a computer for most of this and next week or so, but the moment I find myself with a computer again, I will eagerly rejoin the discourse or take up the torch as necessary.

I'm so eager to see us improve!
