What a change from three or four years ago. :/ the objectively correct way to deal with things you disagree with: admin/buro edition making comments like that is a reason I opposed him Hmm... I actually see what you mean. I guess that's fair, I'm sorry about all of that. Honestly, I'm not at all upset about the idea of losing my rights, although that would certainly be disappointing. It's more just that it hurts to see how much this community has changed from what I considered ideal. But it's definitely a subjective thing... even though I may consider this type of community "stupid", you guys might find it more enjoyable than the type that I tried to set up. So I'll try not to be so outspoken anymore. Being outspoken is not the problem, that's a great thing. But calling the wiki's current policy "stupid" isn't constructive at all. Better to leave it unsaid if you're going to articulate it that way. Oh come on, we've all likely called the policy "Stupid" at one point or another, myself included. No need to corner Drew alone on this one!

I think Drew should elaborate on his point, since "stupid" isn't a contribution by itself, but I see no quandary arising from a throwaway line about how different our system is today.

I personally support letting them keep their Rights as a tribute to the great work they have done before many of you learned of this Wiki's existence. I don't think having the revote is very insulting to these users, contrary to Alemas' opinion here, and I think revotes should be held every couple of years if needed. But maybe that's just me. Exactly, this isn't meant as an insult at all to the users, and I don't mind at all if they all keep their rights, but for the sake of democracy I believe every staff member should receive community approval.
