User blog comment:Mira Laime/How to Deal With a Bad Bureaucrat/@comment-1251315-20160225083337

This issue has happened to me very recently. A bureaucrat on a wiki got exceptionally upset when I was improving the wiki by updating the content: he felt that I have no right to improve any article he had substantially contributed towards and was clearly trying to "protect" the page from anyone else to edit. When told this, he ignored the point and just acted like a troll, before blocking me for trying to keep valid information on the wiki that he was removing for no reason. The guy is also a major hypocrite and is contradictory every so often, saying one thing and then changing his mind a week or so later. As he is the only bureaucrat on the wiki (and running it like a dictatorship), I decided to just find another wiki to adopt and make a better wiki on the same topic.

However, I think Wikia should do more to help out smaller wiki's. If a small wiki already has problems with its founder abusing his position to dictate the running of the wiki and is ignoring advice from more experienced editors, the wiki is doomed: Wikia should step in to ensure the opinions of all are heard and respected, not blocked out and ignored and users should certainly not be treated as though they're vandalising a wiki when they're really just improving it to make it more reader friendly.
