Emergency Alternate Account wrote: Kuo has always been woefully indifferent to relational issues between users and even among staff, it's what allowed these situations to fester for years, and ultimately led us where we currently are. So what we most need in the next Bureaucrat is for him/her to take these problems seriously, and properly adress them in a reasonable manner.

...a description Sage doesn't fit one bit, yeah XD

Honestly, I don't particularly want for Sage to stay Bureaucrat, since as you explained he has a rich history that doesn't quite fit attitude-related key requirements. I'm just really curious to see how it will turn out if given the chance.

It's like a series you have been following for years, and then out of nowhere the most unexpected twist ever suddenly becomes reality, and you're like "what's going to happen next ??". The suspense is killing you, and you know you have to check the following episodes and see for yourself.

That, and I always had a soft spot for "redeemed villains" developments, where they are given the chance to outgrow their past and show they can be more than what we ever gave them credit for. Granted, it's a bit idealistic, but we all have our flaws.

Still, I only suggested giving it a shot because deposing him if things go wrong is just a formality in this context (make a vote, 99% in favor, call staff, done). If it was a one-way decision, I would say "hell no" and be right behind you ^ ^;

All things considered, this "step dow from Crat / give a chance as admin" idea is probably best though.

Thank you very much for your appreciation :) I've always noticed how indifferent Kuo was over the years in regards to relational issues between users (his constant erasure of his talk page and the fact this wiki still doesn't have Message Walls were huge red flags). He'd have been a nigh-perfect bureaucrat if he wasn't such a robot...

Well, now that you've explained yourself, I can say for sure we're generally thinking along the same sort of lines (even if I'm clearly more cynical in my thought processes) https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/ryuu-zone/images/e/e3/Lol.gif

Well, I do think the next immediate step is to hold a poll for who the community would like to see leading the wiki (personally I do believe there should be two active bureaucrats—as the saying goes, "no one man should have all that power"). But let's get over this hurdle first and go from there.
