I suppose this has been a long time coming.

I had a long time figuring out how to even word this. I want to express that if you are only a casual member of this wiki and don’t really care about intimate things going on in the community, reading the entirety of this post isn’t important at all. All you really need to know is that a bureaucrat is retiring.

Now that we have that out of the way, I want to talk about why I am retiring. I want to begin by saying that no direct person in any way has inflicted me into wanting to retire except for myself and how I have acted. In fact, I knew this was coming months beforehand. So, I’ll start with the biggest reason first.

1. My regrets about how I have acted and how I have treated people. Well, here we go. This is what I have regretted for a long time. I joined this wiki when I was young, like most people here, and like a lot of young people, I thought it was funny to say weird or even downright cruel things to look funny or cool. I acted like either a jerk or just said weird things to get reactions out of people. I now look back and see all that was happening was I was being a jerk. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I acted awful to a lot of people who didn’t deserve it.

I have high doubts either of the people I want to apologize to will see this, but here we go. Chas and Dom, I am genuinely sorry. I said awful things to you. You didn’t deserve any of what was said to you or about you. If I was truly a good staff member, I would have handled you both without being an asshole to you. I truly regret the things I have said to you.

1. I have had a feeling that I sort of don’t deserve my role at all. As stated above, I was pretty much a jerk to almost everyone around me because I thought it was funny. I still don’t know how I even managed to get elected to this role other than connections with people in higher ranks and my high activity. People might be wondering why I still felt this way even after being elected to continue this role even after my large inactivity spike, which I would like to mention was fueled for the same reasons. I thought if I silently left, I would be content and people would forget about me.

I wanted to give something back, and that’s why I decided to come back. I didn’t give a lot to this community other than drama, so I was in the mindset that no matter how angry with myself for what I said and what I did I was, I would come back and actually act like a proper staff member as an apology for what I did and how I acted. Unfortunately, I still didn’t feel content. I haven’t since my return.

1. I have stopped enjoying my time here. For both reasons above, I can’t go on the wiki without thinking of either of these things. I can’t look at my old pages without cringing and being embarrassed, I get bored, etc. I just honestly don’t enjoy my time here anymore as much as I did two years ago. I have deleted a lot of my old pages purly due to my embarrassment I get from reading them.

So there you go, that’s why I am retiring. As for a successor, I originally had someone in mind, but decided since people only want 2-3 bureaucrats, there would be no point in having one, but I have high beliefs in your current three bureaucrats to be able to properly get the job done.

I must also apologize to you all for how sudden this was. It’s just that I feel so guilty about this that I can’t be content and keep thinking about it. It’s unhealthy and is injecting itself into my everyday life with how much I think about it. I cannot be happy with myself as long as I am a bureaucrat, because I don’t deserve it. Alright, even I am starting to feel like this is dramatic, so I’m going to start getting into the goodbye now. Even I am thinking about how dramatic this is for just apologizing on a minecraft campfire stories forum, but I do feel like the people I have hurt and you all do deserve apologies for what I have done, said, and acted like.

I know that this apology kind of sounds corny and overdramatic. I know all that happened was that I was toxic online and a lot of people do it, I still feel like everyone deserves an apology. Goodbye everybody, and even though I had my faults and so did my time here, I enjoyed my time being one of your bureaucrats.

Update: Hey everyone, I know a lot of you may be wondering whether or not I read your responses, I'm going to let you all know that I am. Thanks to everyone who responded. I don't deserve a lot of your apologies. I lied about pretty much everything about me. Personal details, things I was into, how I acted in real life. I wanted to build an online persona just to troll people. I went through a lot of effort just to get people to think I was some weirdo jerk in order to get funny reactions.

I want everyone here who reads this to please take this to heart. Lying about yourself, being a jerk, etc. just isn't a good thing. Life is too short to get enjoyment out of being a jerk to someone on the other side of a screen. I am still disappointed that the people I really want to apologize to aren't here, but I have hope they may eventually see this.

There's another point I want to bring up. I also don't think I'm fit to be staff anymore due to my recent opinions. I know what it's like to invent an online persona to act like a jerk, and it's making it difficult for me to want to ban/punish people because I know that might be what they are doing, and that if we ban them now, they won't have an opportunity to change or show it was just them trolling and that's not who they are.

[Leaderboard is here and will be edited over time]

So now we are here to establish the minor staff. Back then almost every active user had Chat mod/Discussion mod but now that’s done for.

Current colors for each roll. Customization is not available.

• Discussions mod: #025e1b(dark green)
• Chat mod: #282fe0(blue)

All staff will discuss with each other in chat to decide Who to promote, keep, and demote

If you appear on the leaderboard, we will see what rank would be suitable.

The Current List Of Minor Staff

• The Dimensional Doctor(DISCUSSION MODERATOR)
• Glithed Creepy(DISCUSSIONS MODERATOR)
• Robloxian1662(CHAT MODERATOR)
• Withersoul 235(CHAT MODERATOR)
• Chipper The Crow(CHAT MODERATOR)
• WhoWatchesTheToasters(DISCUSSIONS MODERATOR)

List of reasons why

• False ban
• Harrasing staff to point of demotion
• Inactive
• Barely helps the wiki

Message to Itty: If you edit this, that’s more evidence against you as I screenshots this

This thread is the result of a conversation in the MCCW chat. This thread needs to be made for a community decision regarding Ittyyy's inactivity on the wiki. So a decision needs to be made, an important one. Will we demote Ittyyy from his bureaucrat status?

Update: Some wrongful accusations have been made against Ittyyy, with claims that he wrongfully attacked Toaster causing him to leave his CMod role. He has also been accused of being incredibly inactive and abusive of his role. EnderMaster45 pulled up a ban Ittyyy gave him with claims that Ittyyy wrongfully banned him for vandalism.

Despite it being true that Ittyyy has been inactive from the wiki and he did give Toasters an unwarranted warning, the rest of the claims were proven to be false, after they were under investigation by SlyCooperFan1, who is a manager and councilor for this wiki. Do not go in the comments claiming Ittyyy abused his power or wrongfully banned people, because there is no history of abuse or wrongful punishments, and Toaster's reason for resigning wasn't just because of Ittyyy.

YES: 12 Votes

Okay. This will be extremely controversial. Extremely divisive.  Wither, myself, and Chipper have developed this.

So, I've decided to leave the wiki.

Apparently, this was a surprise for a few people, if Discord was anything to go by. I do see where they're coming from, but frankly, with my complete disappearance from the wiki in January and near-complete radio silence since then, this was to be expected.

This was a pretty big decision to make, and honestly, one I should've made a long time ago. The few times I've actually thought about the MCCW, the only thing that was going on in my head was a mind war - should I return to the wiki or leave for good? I have no idea how I actually managed to prolong this internal debate over 4 months instead of, like, a week. With my GCSEs cancelled, I could've decided that this was an opportunity to find more time for the wiki, but nope.

So, this is it...I guess. The end of an era. Even though many of the people I had some of the most fun with have long gone, there's loads of people still here who I'd thank endlessly - Hood, Frown, Bella, Rev, Master being some of them - but won't. It's too sappy for me and I don't want to keep this post short.

In terms of my replacement, I'm not sure. I'll let you decide among yourselves - the wiki seems to be faring pretty well without my oversight.

Aight, cheers everyone. This is a final goodbye from me.

Friends.

If you remember this, then you'll know how I discussed about demoting inactive staff and bringing back promotion competitions (Road to Admin and Road to Bureaucrat).

Now, after the voting was over, I decided to demote Icydice and TheRogue12 because most users voted for them (majority voted for Icy, while EnderMaster voted for Rogue). It should be noted that there were more users that were mentioned as ones that should be demoted (Such as WhoWatchesTheToasters), but since they came back, they were ultimately not demoted.

Since we cleaned up the staff list from inactive users, I decided it would be the best if we refreshed it with more active users, and so I decided to host another promotion competition.

Until May 4th 23:59 CET +1, you can vote to decide which promotion competition will I organize, Road to Admin or Road to Bureaucrat. Voting will be done in the comments instead of polls to avoid sockpuppetry.

That's all I have to say now.

Friends...

A few days ago (1-2 maybe) I had a discussion with Henriot, Fox and some others about staff. In this discussion, we talked mostly about how there are a lot of staff that should be demoted due to their inactivity and how some users who have been here for a long time should be promoted, which led to me thinking about restoring Road to Admin/Bureaucrat competition.

For those unaware, Road to Admin was a poll-based competition in which there were 3 rounds (RTA). The winner of third and final round was promoted to an adminstrator (ElectroAaronDYnamix in maiden RTA). Road to Bureaucrat was similar, mainly in having the "first one wins" rule, albeit it was done in a format similar to some sporting championships (Like FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championsip). Until RTA, Road to Bureaucrat also featured promotions for third-ranked users provided they weren't adminstrators (Icydice was the third-placed user in maiden RTB, which led to him being promoted to an adminstrator).

Now, for another problem, staff inactivity.

For those who are regularly here, you will most likely notice that a large number of staff hereis quite inactive. Here is the list of those who don't have regular activity on that staff list:

Bureaucrats - SCP-Deadlock (on hiatus), Ittyyy, MasterFrown0704 and Katachino (although he is currently a bit more active).

Administrators - Icydice.

Content Moderators - WhoWatchesTheToasters and TheRogue12.

The Following users, although more active, aren't regularly active and tend to have long peroids of inactivity:

Bureaucrats - Themaster401.

Administrators - H950sm (might become more active) and BlueHeart7693 (sometimes).

To put is simply, that's quite a lot of staff.

If we were to commence Road to Admin/Bureaucrat, we might have to demote the most inactive staff here. This isnt the first time there was a critique of there being too much inactive staff or just staff in general.

Now, for the first part of all of this, I want you all to cast your vote on who among the inactive staff should be demoted.

Voting ends on April 20th 23:59 UTC+1.

fun fresh and interesting idea: we unban everyone banned for 'war crimes' or some dumb shit like that, stop acting like this wiki is a bad government roleplay server and just ban people if they act like idiots to eachother instead of caring so much about 'the past'.
