First, at least on Community Central, try to leave "staff" to mean those who ultimately govern *all* of FANDOM, and "admin" to those who run individual ("local") wikis. On CC, that is an important distinction.

As I've said above, there are over 350K *English-speaking* wikis. Not counting the ones of other languages. Each with their own rules and franchise subculture. There are appreciably far *less* of Staff. If Staff were to still get involved in local wiki disputes, not only would that drastically impact their ability to care for FANDOM as a whole and keep everything running as smoothly as it does now, but it would mean a pending queue of reviews backlogged by months-to-years. Just like the American court system.

So Staff decided to keep out of local wiki matters which do not violate the Terms of Service (link at bottom of every page) and allow local admins to govern their own communities. After all, they should better know their communities' topics and subcultures far better than those who know nothing about them.

Are there "bad" admins out there? Most assuredly there are. And their wikis may ultimately suffer for it as users get driven away, moving on to other wikis with "better" admins, maybe even starting their own.

Basically, each wiki will Sink or Swim on their own merits.

As I've also said above, you are not alone in your experiences and how you feel. But there are more wikis out there with same, similar, and different experiences to be had. Accepting and moving on is how most of experienced users reached the positions they have now.
