http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/yuzura/images/thumb/8/89/Mother_of_god.jpg/130px-Mother_of_god.jpg You make some good points. I have a few counter points:

Floaters: Floaters are obnoxious and block links. They screw you over and don't let you click links a lot of the time. Users should be able to click links and enter chat from every page.

Auto-playing music: No. Just no. This one is a legitimate rule and is very justified. Forced audio is obnoxious and can very easily irritate users, especially in the instance the sound is on and there are no headphones/earbuds near. This is unexpected and gets really annoying when it's forced on you.

Image limit: This is a good rule but personally, it does lag the page. But users should have a bit more freedom on their user page where it doesn't drastically affect other users nearly as much. I agree there should be a limit, but a much higher limit. It's mainly those galleries with about fifty images that makes the page lag.

Signatures: They shouldn't be categorized. Categories are for template namespace and main namespace. Categories should be limited to just that. Finding a signature page is up to the user themselves. The complaint about annoying giant signatures--- this can get very irritating. They should not have such a big height, or any GIFs, especially, considering they lag the page. I also sense some contradiction in your statement. Your signature takes up the entire width of the page and extends the line height by almost times three. Nobody likes a hypocrite.

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/yuzura/images/thumb/c/c4/No.JPG/130px-No.JPG Art Contest: NO NO NO. Absolutely not being reopened. The wiki got in trouble for violating Terms of Use. A contest can be held, but  ABSOLUTELY NO CHARITY . Charity is not allowed on Wikia. That's all I have to say. It violates Terms of Use and won't reopen with charity again.

Screenshots: Okay, who really wants to edit a screenshot or even put the effort into doing so? In a case where there are a dozen users on chat and you illegitimately banned a user, I'm pretty sure one of them would say something right then, let alone when the screenshot is uploaded. I personally don't like this rule, because 1. There are consistent misbehavior that scatter through time 2. If screenshots aren't convenient but a user cusses someone else out and no one else can screenshot, what, just let him off the hook? This is a bunk rule but if anything, I don't think anyone would put the pointless effort into editing it.

Administration: Some of this I can agree with. Tavis doesn't do anything on the wiki anymore except for promote. And he barely even responds on his talk page or does just that. Ins is a good admin, but summer is his worst time. He can't chat much or edit as frequently due to work, but can you blame him for having work for three months of the year that can cut off wiki time? Chat mods are fine. Modding is going smoothly and we do not need anymore for the time being. Flambo has personally stated before: He is completely fine with his position on the wiki as just an admin. He told me before he doesn't want to be promoted any further unless it just happens, in a few words. I can agree with some of those statements though. There are a few users more suited for said positions. Yes, community voting would work best.

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/yuzura/images/thumb/0/05/Smileeey.jpg/130px-Smileeey.jpg Images: I love you, bro. This is what I've always wanted to complain about, but never did. The wiki really needs to organize images with categorizing, renaming, and licensing them with fair use. We do have admins, as well as Bunai and myself, dedicated to deleting unused images. I have nearly completely deleted all of them up to date. However, we still have several duplicate images that take much more time to fix. On many wikis, this is known as a custodian project, where they even include a custodian user right. Essentially, these are users with certain rights like deleting and renaming files, which allow them for image maintenance. These users granted custodian rights on other wikis are solely dedicated to it and manage to get every image on the wiki renamed and categorized smoothly. We need need to do something about images on this wiki. Of course, with the image number, this can very easily take a very long time. Hence, we need a big project if we are to do something. Just my opinion, but something does need to be done.
