Since you posted this, you and I have had the following exchange on my wall http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:574188

I would like to repeat that encouragement. You've been on Wikia in general and Pooh Adventures in specific long enough, and with a rather impressive edit-count(I've not checked them for quality) that if you begin to think and act like an Admin, you should come to the attention and appreciation of your local 'Crat that you just might be made an Admin.

To clarify, the more successful Admins are calm and respectful of everyone. When *you* call someone a name… well, it is said mud-flinging splashes a little back onto yourself. There is another saying that when pointing fingers at others, three of your fingers are pointing back at you… so regardless of how a User acts, you act appropriately.

There are plenty of resources open to non-Admins which you can use yourself. One is at the bottom of each and every page… Contact Wikia, Special:Contact is the shortcut, where you'll find a list of optional headings to make use of. Hint: 'Problem with wiki content' is better than 'Problem with another user' for reporting vandalism. This will go straight to the next available Staff Member, which will be faster than *you* selecting one and hoping for a speedy response.

I personally use this method for wikis I have no control over instead of VSTF direct contact. It may take 1-2 days, but there is nothing on any wiki which cannot be undone if and as needed. If you get a reply of "contact your local Admin", which hopefully you've left a calm message on the Talk of one, then you reply that you've been trying and "so far, they've not seen the messages".

Again, I point you to the article about Trolls, and that you do not wish to FEED them by letting them see you lose your calm, allowing them to laugh at frantic scramblings on your part.

Taking such calm actions and reporting in proper channels will go miles toward shaping you into a mentality which will make some wiki a worthy Admin. Certainly Staff will take notice.
