Well, this is awkward.

It has come to my attention that some users have been a little unnerved by the decision to remove community consensus and instead have the wiki decide a team of three bureaucrats. However, about an hour ago before this post was made, the three bureaucrats (myself included) have come to the epiphany that maybe this isn't such a good idea. We've pointed out that having silenced the community out on their own wiki is not necessarily the best for the wiki and that the decision made has actually drove users away instead of bringing in new users. Therefore, the three bureaucrats have decided to revert the recent rule change, and we will bring community consensus back. As for the bureaucrats prior to the decision making, their rights will be kept. Sacorguy79 and Ultrasonic9000 will both hand over their bureaucrat rights, though Ultra will keep his administrator rights. I, however, have decided that, based on the nomination I had for bureaucrat rights (which was in complete support) that I will keep my bureaucrat rights, unless the community believes I should bring my nomination back up and have it continue to determine whether I keep the rights.

My reasoning for wanting to remove the bureaucrat team is because I've seen enough damage made within two days here than I have ever seen on SNN. A respected bureaucrat leaves, a former administrator questioning the decision making, and perhaps the most respected user and editor here believing it is a bad mistake is saying something. That is my sentiments.

Both Ultra and Sacor will post their reasoning for wanting to revert the system below:

Conclusion
I apologize for any of the mess made during this, and hopefully we can forget all about this and go on with our normal, everyday lives. Rights will be given back to the former bureaucrats, community consensus is now back in order, and now everything will return back to the status quo.
