User blog comment:Uncanny X-Factor/Removal of Marvel Crossroads Wikia Founder/@comment-3323804-20130623183706

If I may interject despite being an "outsider" of your wiki (and therefore please pardon any misconceptions I may voice about certain aspects or methods on your wiki)...

The first link, or point if you will, I believe is justified in that prohibiting progress of a wiki is not conducive to the improvement or advancement of a wiki therefore not the best decision for an administrator to conclude. However, I think it could be noted that wikis should be available for anyone to edit, therefore content pages, so it's quite generous that The Next X-Man asked rather than going ahead and doing it.

As for the second, third, and fourth links, I found that they were a bit unnecessary. There really was no need to bug PhotonCommander10 about his decisions as some actions can be left alone and from the explanation of why he left so suddenly, it seems like with a little bit of thought, it could be easily understood why Photon left without having to bring it up in public. Nonetheless, the way Photon handled it was a bit inappropriate for an admin as well as how extreme the conversation became and the sudden extremities of feelings for each other.

The fifth link is like the second-fourth. It's unnecessary, and the conduct was poor, at least from my view. Constantly bugging someone and threatening to bug them further is an inadequate way to try to compromise an argument, granted while Photon did close the argument, it could have and probably should have just been left at that. Basically ordering someone not to do something and accusing them of having no good reason also could have been worded and approached better. Finally, calling someone's actions as being equal to "the worst child" one has ever seen did not help the situation. The responses to the thread also are inadequate in dissolving the conflict as it looks more like constant threats and force to get a compromise which will result in what Photon said being that the same events will occur erasing the "handshake" set previous.

The sixth link-it may be that X-Man may have seemed like editing for badges, but if it's not a rule, it cannot be enforced. Now despite editing for badges is not a rule on your wiki therefore it should not be enforced, this behavior is also not quite conducive to being an administrator (http://marvelcrossroads.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:5483). It's somewhat of a moral topic I think, but this action does not seem like it was thought out, especially the consequences and it's as if you just wanted another fight.

Seventh link- Typos happen all the time, it's not a big deal. Relax and just let it go. Also, yes, people have lives. While a month is a bit long, it's just a month so long as he comes back. If you have other administrators available, it should not be a big deal.

Eighth- Again, this was just unnecessary to get in an argument over, on both sides.

Ninth- The reaction was unnecessary, it would have been best to just ignore Photon and wait for Caesar's reply.

Tenth - The interactions seem amiable enough, but patience and understanding could help.

The final link- I think it was quite generous to go that way, X-man, though I do think the diction and syntax could have been changed to be more cordial and understanding. The reaction though from Photon was out of bounds I think. As I said in the beginning, prohibiting the progress of a wiki is the complete opposite of an administrator's duty.

I'm also going to bring up the ban log (http://marvelcrossroads.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=&year=&month=-1) This is definitely an inadequate way to solve conflicts and an abuse of rights.

So basically, I'm in the agreement that both of you are at fault as it would help tremendously if you two would put both your feelings aside and look at what's better for the wiki. I also would recommend that both X-man and Photon be stripped of bureaucrat rights and a system for inquiry and voting of no confidence should be put in place as a checks and balance system.

This is just my interpretation of the situation(s), feel free to deem it inaccurate or inadequate.
