User blog comment:Samed5/I'm resigning from the committee!/@comment-5381241-20131224235503

@Those of you who are dissing the community and their "laziness",

I do not entirely blame the committee for being "lazy". I did not necessarily notice any occasions in which the committee could take action to help "advise the admin team on matters of community interest," and "ensure that the admins are fully aware of the community's needs." To be honest, if anything, that sounds like the admins are being lazy. So much of which, that they needed to create a committee to make sure that they are aware of such needs, rather than being an active admin and check over the wiki every day or so.

Gosh, we really do need more active admins then I thought! Or at least some admins who understand that being admin doesn't just give them editing privileges. There are only two admin that I notice are on chat frequently-occasionally instead of spending time off of chat editing and that is Rio and Nxt. We all know how the central hub for the wiki's activity and community interest speculation is in chat, so why do I hardly ever see admins on there? Save for Rio and Nxt.

Again, this isn't necessarily a matter I should be putting such interest into seeing as I myself have not been very active on chat, so I wouldn't know much. But from what I've gathered over the course of every few days is that we need more active admins. By "more active" I don't mean active editors. I mean active chatters. Alemas is a PLENTY fine example, however, people would disagree because he's harsh. Technically, admins don't get any more privileges on chat as admin then they would as CM. So if Alemas being an admin disturbs you for whatever reason, it really shouldn't, because there would be no difference between him being CM or him being admin.
