Systematic Failure
I've never been a loud person. I like to make people laugh, keep them entertained. But when it comes to opinions, I keep them to myself. Well, how is anything ever going to change if I never say anything about it, right?

So here goes.

For a long, long time now, there have been problems with the heirarchy in the AT wiki administration. Promotions based on favoritism and favors as opposed to actual contributions. For example, Ins4nekazuma and Minichurro5. They are great, friendly people. Mini has a good sense of what's right and wrong. Ins is a fun guy to talk to. But what do they actually do for the wiki as admins?

Not much.

Now I'm not singling them out, no. They are just the first examples that come to mind. But the point stands that there are problems with the ladder of power here on the wiki, and they need to change. While I'm not going to go so far as to demand that the admin page is wiped clean, demotions and promotions are in order. Some people have cited Flambo the Epic Epic( as an example of somebody who works hard and deserves a higher position. I agree. And some people have cited users like Sparda, who deserve a demotion. And while Sparda is one of the nicest people I've ever met over the internet, I also agree on the grounds that he doesn't do his job. There are also people who deserve their position, like Flame Prince Finn and FIame Princess, who are friendly and work hard.

All and all, I'm pretty unsatisfied with the way this wiki is ran. Our founder, Tavisource, is notorious for promoting people as favors, or without checking to make sure they actually deserve them. He rarely visits chat, and rarely talks with regular users. I want to stress that I don't want him to be completely demoted, nor do I want to disrespect him. But a wiki requires leadership, and he's bad at providing it. Somebody more qualified needs to take his place.

In all honesty, I should be finishing my english paper so that I can graduate in a few days, but I felt that it was more important that I say these things. They needed to be said.

All I ask is that you think about this. If you disagree, then feel free to let your thoughts be heard as well. Maybe I'm just blind to how awesome and perfect our system is. But if you agree, then do something about it. Wishing things were better won't help.

Stay awesome, everybody.
