1. Yes, it is sad that we accepted the loophole. But it happened, and we can't change that, unfortunately.

2. About the whole bureaucrat thing...

During the competition, most of the votes weren't really "strictly support" vs "strictly oppose". It was more of a "both users are qualified, but one is more qualified than the other". That was also the case of my vote.

When you lost the competition, obviously you weren't happy about losing, and that is understandable. But you were the next in line to be promoted. And that is what happened: you got promoted when the next opportunity arose.

In the end, you have to understand why people were unhappy. You tried to get several users banned - it's only understandable that people will NOT be happy, especially the ones who you tried to get banned.

But I'll admit, you were thrown RIGHT into the drama. You had it hard right from the beginning, getting thrown into multiple conflicts at once as a new bureaucrat.

In the end, this conversation about the legitimacy of your rank is irrelevant. Your rank is not illegitimate in any way.

and it worked.

Oh please. I think it'll just be easier to admit that it was a rushed response. Trying to make this entire thing seem like some big plan that worked perfectly instead of a rushed response to a genuine problem is stupid. Why do you think Fandom would play into your game of "trying to scare them", if you sent them evidence of abuse worthy of a Fandom ban. They wouldn't. It's the best to just own up to the mistake instead of pushing it further.
