PrelateZeratul, I can't help but notice how ironic is that you're constantly talking about following the rules and don't make assumptions, but nothing that you have claimed so far is supported by any rule, but by mere assumptions and subjectivity.

The first point is the best example: "Hfc2x thought this", "Hfc2x was going or wasn't going to do this"... Nothing but assumptions that never reflected in facts. The only facts reflected in the Wiki is that he promoted you as admin, then stepped aside and left you freewill to operate as you pleased. But I really don't see what you did during those two months you were an admin, other than spending half of that time trying to demote him. If this situation affected you, it was only because you allowed it. There is no rule supporting it, not even facts, just assumptions.

Second point, his absence. Again, there is no rule stating that an absent admin must be demoted. That's why I mentioned Jo4n, because she is still an admin precisely because nothing requires us to remove her. This again didn't interfere with your work; on the contrary, it was good for you, but one more time you did nothing.

The third point is simply out of place. I'm sorry if you felt offended by anything that Hfc2x said of you -or to you- outside the Wiki, and I understand that you think that he deserves some punishment, but the keywords here are outside the Wiki. We are not the authority to judge things that happen in external sites. The only thing that concern us is what happens in this website, shingekinokyojin.wikia.com, and how is this reflected on the Wiki. And despite anything Hfc2x could have said or done outside, here he never broke any rule, and he never interfered with your work nor the work of anyone, so that's not a problem that concern us. That was a personal issue between you and him, and this is what I want you to understand.

What is damaging the Wiki are not the actions of Hfc2x, is this discussion itself. It's the fact that you allowed your personal issues affect your work, and that you brought them here. Because of that we lost three admins and the Wiki was abandoned for two weeks. Even to this day, I can barely take care of my duties as admin because the little time I can devote to the site is spent following this case. You said so yourself, "the rules of the wiki do only apply to the wiki, but this was beyond the rules of wikia", so stop bringing it to us.

My promotion as admin was simply a response to the exceptional circumstances originated by this situation. For not being able to differentiate between your personal issues and the issues of the Wiki, and let that grow to the point it did, you proved to be unfit to be an admin and were demoted. And because all the other admins had retired and there were no more candidates, the position was given to me, something that was well received by the Wikia Staff when I notified them.

I have nothing against you, and I recognize that you display some qualities that could really make you worthy of an adminship position: you're a constant contributor (I read the post by Gourgeist, and if it's true -we must not forget that this user is blocked for lying and falsifying evidence-, then such dedication is admirable), you're polite [most of the time], you're open to discussion... but when it comes to the real duties of an admin, is when you fail.

Involving the Wiki in your problems was wrong, posting private conversations was wrong (it doesn't matter if it was in self-defense, they had nothing to do here in the first place, and if the topic emerged was only because you brought it), leading that discussion in the way you did was wrong, and trying to decide critic matters while incurring in sockpuppetry or conflict of interest was wrong. And all of those things happened in the Wiki and directly affected the Wiki.

While you are not aware of that, I can't allow you to get your admin rights back, and much less leave you in charge and retire. As I already told you, the admin work is not about edits, is about judgement, and all the above does nothing but to show me a lack of it. I can't give such power to someone whose judgment to use it properly I don't trust.

Another evidence is shown in this same thread, when you accused TourguideNixon of this fault:

PrelateZeratul wrote: 4. You violated our block policy by calling for me to blocked for a year. "In general, the first block should be of a reasonably short duration". We don't block people for a year, even less so when they have violated no rules here.

He didn't violate any policy, because it's literally impossible for him to do so. He doesn't have the ability to block anyone, he just said something. The fact that you didn't notice that is what makes me worry about what you can do if you become an admin. If you'd had the power to block him for what he said, would you have done it?

Please show me a reason why I can trust you to be an admin, and then I'll consider to promote you and maybe step down and leave you in charge. What I've seen so far does nothing but to tell me that woudn't be the right choice.
