User talk:Neo of ZW

Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Neo of ZW!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Help Desk. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- DaNASCAT (Talk) 03:21, October 26, 2009

Hey Neo. I've been following your "falsely blocked" situation on Catherine's talk page since it piqued my interest, and since you're forming your own wiki I just wanted to give you a tip. You said, "I know how to act in a position of power." One of the best mindsets to get into when you're an administrator on a wiki is the one that says you do NOT have power, that being an administrator is NOT a position of power, and that you are absolutely no different than anyone else. Administrative abilities, really, are just editing tools to perform certain editing tasks. They're not meant to be leadership positions or positions with any real "power" over anyone else. Your opinions, influence, and standing on the wiki are meant to be the same as everyone else, the only difference being that you have a few extra special buttons. I hope what I said helps you as you're building you're new wiki. =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:11, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, butting in here also, admin is not a position of power. If you go in with that kind of attitude, you may repel potential editors. Also, if and when your wiki grows, you might want to file a request for adminship on it yourself, to make sure that the community supports you. Have a good day, 02:41, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, you've been reading that embarrassment. -_- Anyways, I really don't see it as a position of power. I just meant that strictly in the terms of ability to block users. 02:55, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Even then, it's definitely not a power thing. Blocking is, in the end, an editing tool, because it prevents people from editing. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:03, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * You make a good point. 03:14, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * UGH I need to put my sig page on the central Wikia, now.

Good idea. =P - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:18, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
