Since though Emp has mentioned Helel's admin app, I want to touch on this subject too. Both me and Banning, when reviewing his application, voiced our concerns about Helel's behavior, as correctly pointed out by Emp.

But this sword cuts both ways. Sure, we did warn Helel about his behavior, but what did we, as admins, do about it? Nothing. Helel received no feedback on his behavior, so he had no real chance of adjusting. The blame, thus, falls not only on Helel's shoulders, but the shoulders of the rest of admins as well.

It has been a very busy year for me and the other admins, and Helel was pretty much the only one who was carrying the wiki, with Christian taking a load off whenever he could. This demotion thread is unfair to our currently most active admin, who was let down by his fellow teammates.

From this point on, we will all make a concerted effort to keep ourselves in check. That is the way forward.

As users, you have to understand though that admins are not omnipotent. We don't know of everything that is going on in the wiki and every time you see someone step over the line, you must contact an administrator to have this looked at. Pointing fingers when the glass overfills helps nobody. It is reassuring that you, in a private conversation, allege to have talked this situation out. However, this doesn't retrospectively change his actions. Thus far he hasn't moved to make any amends for his wrong doings nor remedy them.

I don't think the community wants an assurance that it "won't happen again", we, or at least I, want some form of action on his part to demonstrate his understanding of what he did wrong and why it was wrong.
