Hi Lothian.

We have intervened before on MicroWiki because of disputes like this, namely admins doing things that people disagreed with, but we stopped doing that because it was made clear to us by many community members that they did not want us to. Of all the people who objected to our presence on the wiki, you were by far the loudest and the most aggressive. You didn’t want us to be there when other people lodged a complaint or asked us to intervene, and you specifically said you do not want me there. You made that point abundantly clear here. Yet now you’re asking me to intervene when it directly affects you.

Keep in mind that this is part of a pattern. Some users object to something an admin has done, and ask us to intervene. If we intervene, other users then say we shouldn’t have done that. The next time, the users who said we shouldn’t have intervened might be the ones who report it, and the others become the ones complaining that we shouldn’t intervene. It’s a cycle of people protesting us for being there for other people’s complaints, and then asking us to intervene for theirs. Ultimately we have no way to choose between conflicting requests to intervene and conflicting requests not to. You’ve been a big part of those conflicting requests.

Given that, our answer remains the same as it has for the last few weeks and months: we will not get involved in the day-to-day disputes of MicroWiki, and will only get involved when there are issues that violate the fork guidelines we established or if there are major changes to the wiki by people who have decided to go to Micropedia. I see no indication that these bans have anything to do with Micropedia so, unless you have something to prove otherwise, I will not be intervening.

As for New Moldova, I have said numerous times to people on MicroWiki that I see no proof that he is Realm of Freya, so I can’t act on any sockpuppeting claims about that.
