Board Thread:Support Requests - Community Management/@comment-31557928-20200818013630

Okay so, some background: I work on the Webkinz Wiki sometimes. It's not popular and has a small community of contributors, so I thought I'd help every so often. I've been a fan of the game for years, though I like to look for information about the in-game world rather than play it these days. On the wiki, I don't vandalize or remove information, and I don't think I've broken any rules. I edit the wiki every few months, fleshing out info on certain pages. Currently, there appears to be only one active long-time admin who consistently adds pages of pets, items, and general info to the wiki. Besides them, there are a few other general users who contribute periodically like me.

Now, despite not regularly editing, I decided I'd request to be an admin because I wanted to fix a few category systems, delete a useless page (a list of characters, despite there already being a character category), and perhaps even make the logo on the front page a png (though that's incredibly unlikely in any situation). The admin did not have their message wall accessable, so I messaged them via the discuss page. Before sending the message, I had just finished moving some characters to an existing and fitting category. After waiting a bit, I looked through the recent edits log and realised that they had just specifically protected those pages, and deleted my comment and request with no reply or explanation. If they didn't want me to be admin, I would've been fine with that, but this is an odd response. Earlier today, I decided to edit a pet page and add new information. Almost immediately after publishing it, the page became protected. It as well appears that references have been removed on a different character page, but the information has stayed.

Basically, I'm asking: what should I do in this situation? I wanna contact them again and try to talk to them but I'm worried they're going to ignore me or delete my message.
