User blog:Drew1200/The Truth

Recently there's been a lot of problems over me abusing my powers. I haven't gotten that chance to tell anyone except LBK what really happened (and I think he forgot :P), not even CBM knows why I took them. So with this blog, I want to let everyone what really happen. Don't worry, I won't make any personal attacks on anyone here, I'm just simply going to state what happened, and why it happened.

CBM made a blog about petitioning for him to be an admin. I told him in chat that I was going to have to delete it due to the way we pick admins. He responded nicely, and I deleted it. Then he asked for Rollback. I told him that he should have at least a 1,000 edits. He said that I should give it to him because responsibility gives motivation. I said that we have to make sure you’re a really good editor with a lot of experience first. He said he had a lot of experience. I said that he would have a lot more once he got a thousand edits, and to just trust me about it. He said what harm could there possibly be if someone had to ability to just rollback edits. I told him that it was a lot more than that, that they where the edit leaders, just like chatmods are chat leaders. There job is to do more than just revert edits, they have to lead people in how to edit right, just like ChatMods have to do more than just ban people. He basically said that I was wrong. ChatMods only job was to ban people, and that’s it. I said no, it’s to be nice, and friendly. When we know you can do that, we will also give you the responsiblity of banning if necessary. He still didn’t agree, so I told him that it was, and that I was telling him, not suggesting it. He wouldn’t listen. This went on for at least a half hour. After many many many warning I had to take ChatMod from him. This is where it can get confusing. CBM was being friendly and nice. That wasn’t the reason, though. I took it because we cannot have those with powers refusing to listen to those in authority over them. If you do that at your job, you’ll not only lose your position, you’ll get banned from the place (AKA fired). I know that’s not the perfect example, but it is close. After thinking over this again and again I’m sure I haven’t abused my powers, like CBM claims.

After this, CBM started causing trouble. He even got a couple users upset with me, and created a new wiki, a complete copy of this one. He along with his gang he made said it was much better. I got on chat just as they where doing it. I admit I did get upset, but I didn’t abuse my powers. For about 5 minutes they did a lot of name-calling, and a couple other things against the Rules, so I banned them. BUT, I failed to warn them. After about 3 minutes I let them all back on realizing I forgot to warn. It pretty much ended there... I’m really sorry for not warning, please forgive me, but I don’t think it was abusing my powers. Abusing your powers you do knowingly. This case was an accident, and I let them back on immediately after realizing. In no way do I think that was abusing my powers. Thanks for reading!
