- First off, you're not breaking any of my points, except for the category violations bans. I'll admit, I was wrong about that. I meant re-uploaded stories. You would ban without warnings for those. Re-uploading stories is actually not against the rules. Which is an issue I've brought up in general.

Other than that though, you're not making a case about why any of what I said was wrong.

-You DO more on less refuse to do deletion appeal. You refusal to do it can be seen in the fact that you would almost never do it. Again, let me refer to the "Moderator Evaluation" thread. Which you told me you read. In almost every single post I made in that thread mentioned deletion appeal. That should've been a pretty big message that you need to do it. You're a slow reader? Okay. It still has to get done. It was still part of your duties.

-There is NO reason why you shouldn't have been cracking down on pages while you had your rights. You were on the site all the time and you would let garbage pile up.

These are the basic rights an admin has: -Deleting pages -Viewing and restoring pages -Banning users -Making chat mods

You didn't do deletion appeal so the second one is something you don't need. I believe VCROC now have the ability to do this? I don't know if that ever really happened, but before it did admins and higher were the ONLY people who could do this. That made your using those rights much, much more important.

You would delete very little on a site that needs almost constant maintenance. What's the point of you having that ability if you're not going to use it?

Banning users, sure, you do that.

Making chat mods is not really necessary for you.

So, why should an admin? Because you promise you'll do better? Why weren't you doing what you were supposed to originally? Like I said in my thread, I had talked to you about your performance before. You shaped up for a few days and then became much, much worse.

You know why most people think you're a good admin? Because you help people in chat. That's great. It really is. We need that, but you don't need admin rights to do that. You really don't. And if you don't have rights, then nobody can expect you to do anything.

When you ask for user rights and don't use them, you make more work for everybody else. That kind of bullshit is what pushed me to resigning my position. And you're not the only one who does it. It's really frustrating when people given responsibility don't use it.

The site can be maintained at a kind of leisurely rate, if you're on site, check the activity logs every half our or so. Stories, comments, blogs, forum posts. But it needs to be done consistently. It's not hard, you should've done it when it was your responsibility.
