User blog:Knot126/Knot126: I'm Thinking About Stepping Down From Admin

I feel like there are some issues that prevent me from being an effective admin on the standard and fanon Smash Hit wikis. This does not apply to the technical or mod wikis.

Here are my reasons:


 * 1) I am not very active on either wiki. Preferably, admins should be active on the wikis they are maintaining and should have interest in the subject of the wiki. That isn't the case with me on the fanon wiki. For SHW, I am occasionally active, but I only cover a small subset of this wiki. That is nothing that justifies the admin position on this wiki.
 * 2) * Yes, that means I believe admins on wikis they are not interested in should step down. Not calling names, there are certain STW Admins/CMs I don't feel are very interested in the subject of the wiki.
 * 3) * If you are not interested in the subject of a wiki you are admin on, I encourage you to demote yourself and remove your rights. It doesn't prevent you from being a part of that wiki/community or getting admin at a later date.
 * 4) I disagree with some policies and rules. Look at the ban and user rights logs and you will see this. I don't like assigning blocks and rights more than needed. I think IP addresses should always be given a chance, even if they need to be blocked for a year. At that: I completely understand the argument that never needing to worry about a certain user again is comforting. I understand that nobody really wants to jump through the hoops of adoption just to get user rights. But for me, that doesn't really justify giving everyone rights to do anything they want. Indefinite blocks are also not the answer. Not everyone in the community needs rights, and rights don't need to be synchronous across the wikis. There are others rules I could get in to, but this point is already very long.
 * 5) * Perhaps you haven't done a good enough job at resolving differences? No, I probably haven't. That is why I am thinking about stepping down rather than doing it immediately.
 * 6) There are already enough admins and CMs. Just look at the Wiki Staff, and you will find plenty of admins and CMs.
