Tldr: I believe Guzma should lose his Admin status, and the status of Chat Admin should be moved onto Hikari instead.

Reason 1: Hikari, imo, is a far more competent admin. Not only is he basically hated by no one, which is a huge accomplishment, his contributions to the wiki is not minimal. Plus, basically no one will complain about it, contrary to Guzma. Guzma didn't do nothing to recieve the diss. If his Trial period was placed to see if he could do a competent job, he's proved to us that while he may do a decent job in management, he can't do it without pissing off a few people.

Reason 2: Guzma has major behavioral issues. Kuro pointed most of these out way better than I did, but I'll go over them again; making racist jokes, calling people out for not thinking Card X is pretty good saying stuff like "Ya'll are dumb", but refusing to give any valid reasons on why that is, and as falling with the previous point insulting people without real good reason.

Reason 3: When asked to give a reason/justification to his actions, he vaguely sweeps the questions by. I would accept this if those questions were incredibly irrational, but they weren't. If I was him and I was doing what I was supposed to have been, I could have easily answered those questions. He continued this even when pointed out, and quite blatantly played the victim card to get himself out of the mess, with little success. He says he's being vague to avoid drama, but an Admin (although restricted to chat appointment) shouldn't avoid questions/claims made directly to him to "avoid drama".

Reason 4: Power abuse. Adding on top of previous records of editing comments/blogs, Guzma just used his Admin placing to close the previous thread. As far as I know, a normal member who didn't start the thread or owns the wall in which the thread is started on shouldn't be able to close threads. The thread was closed for the self-benefit of Guzma, which is definitely not an acceptable action. Using it at all in the first place is restricted on his case, and yet for his own benefit?

On another topic, it's interesting how he calls your "I'll come to this later" an "answer" and an appopriate reason to close a thread that could have kept going. From my perspective, I can only see it as him running out of excuses.

Reason 5: Connecting to the last point, keeping Guzma from abusing his power is extremely difficult. While saying that you won't do it is easy, he's broken the promise on multiple occassions as shown before. All the incidents may be minor, but it's the thought that counts. On the other hand; Hikari is already an Admin. There's no fear of him abusing anything.

Reason 6: I'm not convinced he's even doing a good job. While you did attest that Guzma is doing a good job on managing the chat, like I pointed out earlier I don't even see him in there as often as other people. Kuro seems to have found this point out too in the below thread for Discord and pointed it out. While he may claim to do work, tell me, do you know what kind of work he actually does on a usual basis? My guess is that you don't, considering that he refused to give an answer even when asked in the main thread. Again, I doubt you can work on a low-active chat so much to the point you become blind to all the points one is rising up.

Other significant points I want to point out is how Guzma says Kuro "antagonizes" him and tells me to not cross the line. In the below Kuro post, I don't sense any malicious tone nor biases, and I think it was gathered up nicely. While again, I do not know the full relationship between these two, I can't imagine that this person wrote all that down there just out of hate, but rather pure concern for Guzma's behavior. In the "cross the line" scenerio, he's blantantly trying to intimidate me away of cornering him further.

Overall, I don't believe a person that assumably fabricates information, avoids questions that aren't extremely significant to save his face, abuses power and calls everyone stupid while refusing to give any justifications has any right to determine what a healthy chat would look like. I would also like to point out that Guzma avoiding all the points looks exactly like politicians that try to be as vague as possible to avoid getting into trouble. While his excuse is that he wants to avoid drama, in the first place I believe being an Admin is a job that comes with drama. Maybe he isn't fit for the job then. I stand by my point that Hikari will make a much better Admin in this case. For now, I'll go to sleep. I'll hope for a positive answer by the time I wake up. Thank you for your time and again, sorry for the wall.
