User blog:Caysie98/The innermost thoughts of Caysie's head

I think we should keep making these until every user has one.

Editing Pages
Guys, shut up about how many edits you have. No one cares, and having tens of thousands of edits isn't something to be proud of. Go do something worthwhile and brag about that if you must, but stop boasting about how you changed all the "&"s to "and" or fixing grammar that was right in the first place 40,000 times. Really. No one's impressed.

What we should be doing is editing all those "stub" articles that can be improved.

Chat
I have discovered the way to make chat fun again, get rid of rebellious users, and make things less stressful for chatmods: Lighten up on the rules. Really, some of them are just ridiculous. 1.5 (the personal information one) is barely ever followed. It is commonly known that users video chat with each other, and there's a large Google +/Gmail group as well. Age shouldn't even be mentioned in the rules, it isn't an identifying factor when all you know about someone is their gender and what state or country they live in. Blocked words like "crap", "sucks", "jerk", "idiot", and the like are not bad words. And if they offend you, then you better prepare yourself to be offended a lot, because most people use these words a lot in their daily lives and they aren't going to stop using them just because they make you uncomfortable. Deal with it. About 1.9 (the "respect the chatmods" one), I think chatmods should also be respectful towards users. I can't count how many times I've felt patronized by chatmods.

Admins
The only reason we'd need more admins is because some have retired or gone inactive. Users should vote on who they think should be admin, and the top however many are needed to replace those who've retired would become admins. The reason users should vote rather than current admins choosing is because the admin team shouldn't be made up of people who all think alike and have the same opinions on things. It's good to have different opinions and ideas.

Promotions
Whoever the community thinks should be promoted. Maybe people who would like to be an admin could put their signature on a page and we could have an election. I don't think maturity would be an issue.

We don't need any more chatmods, rollbacks or patrollers.
