User blog comment:AmazingPythor/Important: Demotion of Veralann/@comment-25463305-20170309112658

Well, I know my opinion hasn't much sense since I'm semi-active here, but I'd really like an admin to read me. For me, this is not fair for several reasons.

First, Veralann has been promoted as an administatrator of this wiki only last week, with absolutely no oppose of any members of the community, including admins. In a week, he's kicked. Just this sounds wrong. The mind of a community, including admins, does not change so fast unless for extreme bad things that have been discovered. According to this blog and these screenshots, that's what have been discovered and here it would be a legitimate reason, okay. Besides I believe these screenshots doesn't reveal anything wrong (and I'll come back to that later), it shouldn't have been so fastly decided by all active admins except Vera (that's what I've been told, maybe I'm wrong though). To me, this should need at least an admin consensus (including semi-active or even inactive admins) or a CV (because Vera was promoted by the community).

Second, you haven't discussed this with the concerned admin himself. This is wrong. Just so you can be fair, you had to talk to him to this, and for two reasons. You could have misinterpreted the screenshot you got (from apparently TSA, but I don't really know though) because there might be context you were not able to see on the pictures you got, and taken out of context, you can quickly understand anything wrongly. Remember also one thing: screenshots can be VERY EASILY faked on only a few clicks, without being a pro at all. Just look at your Inspect Element, try to edit text, take screenshoot, and there, you made a fake proof of someone breaking policies! I am not saying the user that provided these screenshots did that (Vera himself recognized they were not). The point is that admin team shouldn't take a screenshot as a real proof easily, because it can be someone that didn't appreciate Vera being admin and wanted him to be demoted (again, I'm not saying this happened in this issue, I'm just saying that might happen and on an admin policy, you have to take that under consideration). So apparently that was decided really fast without Vera's opinion taken under consideration by admin team, and this is wrong for me.

Finally, what the hell is wrong with that screenshot? Vera said he would maybe reveal these infos and here, it sounds obvious he was not being serious and thought he wouldn't find anything anyway. There are several things that sounds really wrong when I hear this, again. He did not reveal anything and would probably never do this (or here, yes, that would have been very bad and if I was admin, I'd be the first one who'd demote him). Seriously, I'm a member of Fandom/Wikia's Community Council and Vanguard, and I know that both trust and knowing to keep secrets is highly important. Vera is council too, remember, and he perfectly knows this too. If he said he was possibly going to reveal this info, did he know there was a policy about this and so that he wasn't allowed to do this? Probably not, especially since I've been told Vera said this happened when he was not an administrator of this wiki. That means he certainly didn't know this policy existed, and learnt it after the issue. Can you really blame something so fast and so strictly while knowing he couldn't know this rule, since he was not a part of the admin team? This doesn't sound very fair, especially for a fully-dedicated admin that just got promoted. That doesn't even make sense here.

For me, here you, admins, just decided this too quickly because you probably misinterpreted something or were too afraid of just electing an admin that had bad minds over the wiki. You overreacted to these screenshots and you should definitely review this decision with Vera himself. That's my opinion. Here, I'd say this needs a review of the cases you'd demote an administrator for making something that would be dangerous for the whole community, because on Vera's case, nothing dangerous happened, to me. Thanks to the admin who'd take the time to read this comment, even if I know this doesn't count a lot and that I probably didn't have some points that made your decision.

(Is that even an okay English? )
