User blog comment:Obi the LEGO Fan/Regulating "Admin Talk"/@comment-4091019-20150307003642/@comment-4091019-20150307010337

Somehow I knew exactly what you were going to say.

Transparency - Why? Because I'm a nice person. If the kid I hate the most asks me what i think of him, I will tell him the truth, but I'll say it nicely and spare details. If I'm explaining my opinion to someone else, I don't have the same pressure to be politically correct with everything. When I'm stating my opinion about the LMBW (not necessarily about things relating to specific users), I'd rather not have to worry about being formal, clear, and not offend anyone. Much of what I say doesn't apply as much these days, I'm sure you've noticed by now. I still "live" in the old system, where there were just a few admins that were very open and honest with each other and said what needed to be said. Now everything is so political and formal and exact, and so I really haven't contributed to decisions in the last year.

Efficiency. Yes. It is more inefficient to have more people decide something, I don't understand how you can not agree with that. I said it before and I'll say it again. This is the LMBW. This is not Brickipedia or whatever other wiki you're thinking of. The difference? Have you noticed that whenever someone has an opinion, the entire wiki takes sides and argues about it? This happens with everything, this is the home of drama, my opinion stands that it would be more inefficient.

Education. I understand your trust concern if we don't say the same things to each other as we would to everyone else. It makes sense. But it also makes sense that if you apply that in real life, you dont say the same things. Let me rephrase that, because maybe you do. MOST people don't. I wouldn't view it as a trust issue, per se, but it is more of a formality than anything. I don't say anything strong against something/someone, but as I said before, the wiki takes sides with anything. ANYTHING. If there really is an issue with administrators trash talking someone or something, that's a separate problem that needs to be adressed.
