User blog comment:Sannse/Why Staff Don't Remove Bad Admins/@comment-168424-20140305054503

People should not confuse being blocked for reasons they don't agree with or understand with bad admins and trying to reform or remove them. They are completely separate issues and shouldn't be discussed as if they were similar problems.

Bad admins are one of the worst things that can happen to a wiki. I don't think Wikia doesn't care, but dealing with it is low on their priority list. Ironically disputes can also generate traffic and visits to a wiki, so Wikia still makes money. They just don't want a bad admin to kill a thriving wiki and drive users away.

I suspect, if your wiki is very small, Wikia will try not to get involved, but if you wiki is growing or concerned with a hot topic, they will.

Ultimately, a bad bureaucrat is way worse than a bad plain old admin, so if you can make sure your bureaucrats (which usually includes founders) are good, you can avoid the damage a bad admin can cause.

C'est la vie.
