User blog comment:Bond em7/Administration Activity/@comment-3971001-20170713223640

Y'know this blog reminds me of a time when we were a lot more stricter in terms of the activity of the admin team. I myself was put up for demotion due to inactivity. It's an effective method for weeding out members of the admin team who aren't really making a difference at a given point. Does it mean that said user is a bad administrator/rollback/bureaucrat? Not at all. It just means the circumstances at this given moment present the admin team/general userbase with a tricky decision to be made.

But the most fascinating thing is, when I was demoted (I actually stepped down, diva), I was able to understand how to put the professional needs of the wiki onto one side, and how to put my personal feelings on another. Many of my friends voted for my demotion, but that didn't stop me from remaining friends with them. Why am I mentioning this? Because, I feel like we're hitting this wall where we're taking things that aren't personal in a more personal manner. And that breeds distrust and disharmony among the userbase. We need to realise that sometimes, decisions have to be made, and we have to understand that they're made for the good of the wiki.

You may be thinking what the point of my cryptic response is. But the thing is, it's something we all need to consider. As always, I'm always willing to step up and help out to the best of my capacity.
