User blog:Slug-Drones/Debunking a rumor

I was told that "everyone seems to think" that I demoted myself and went on hiatus 2 months after the demotion as a rage quit response to the conflicts I had with certain users at the time. They were somewhat a factor, but I had no intention of making it look like a statement. It's true that I gave no explanation as if nothing happened, but if people were wondering, I'd prefer to be asked before conclusions are made. Er, but I can't blame you entirely cuz I really said nothing about it for months. Didn't feel the need to actually, I tend to be passive... eheh... anyway...

I had my administrator rights mainly just for CSS. I had no interest in anything else. I used to get on the chat frequently at one point because I made some new friends there but because of that, I was handed responsibilities and personal conflicts.

I'm more of a ban-and-get-over-with-it-person, but I was criticized that I do not consider feelings. I don't have the time to spend a long discussion with a rule-breaker to 'understand' them. Like I said, I'm passive, so I listened to this criticism, however, it turned out to be worse. Apparently, the criticizers agreed in a forum that admins should be something like a counselor and, after a confirmation, it was directed at me. I had to explain myself for every ban, with evidence, screenshots, so it was all very distracting. I'm not saying administrators shouldn't do this, I just did not have the time for it (and I still don't). I gave room for those who are willing.

I also don't like to impose rules on others, silly I know. I found myself not quite agreeing with some rules like "assume good faith" and apparently, "back-biting" is a problem too. I had a different opinion over them, so I couldn't follow those rules.

My hiatus was per request by those important to me irl and the work I had to cover up. It wasn't really my choice.

Wikia is no longer as distracting since my demotion and hiatus so it turned to be good for me.

That's it, I think. Free turkish delight for those who bother to read this. ^__^
