User blog comment:Alemas2005/The Wiki is dying. And we are killing it/@comment-25101892-20160620161557/@comment-4845243-20160620183558

Pretending that the wiki was all fine and dandy before becoming more democratic is nothing more than wishful thinking and revisionist history.

There were several problems on this wiki during that time, which prompted us to reform and create a more democratic system. Including but not limited to:

- an Us vs. Them mentality between admins and users that harmed several relationships

- completely absurd censorship, both of specific words and of ideas

- an inefficient and slow system where the admins took weeks to get things done that the community now gets done in days

- many users being upset that their voices weren't heard and had no impact on what admins were doing

- lack of admin accountability

- did I mention how slow everything was??

The list could go on.
