This is certainly a possibility. I don’t mean to insult Lokintas, she seems like a pretty cool person, but it seems like Helel not referring to her as her preferred name/pronouns was the reason she made this post. I checked the contributions page for her and it looks like she stopped editing after messaging Helel before coming back with this. And regardless of the problems Loki might have with him, Helel’s a good admin and a nice person, so long as you can realize when he’s joking. Misgendering someone is not a small thing. It's a serious issue that causes a lot of distress, and if it was done with malicious intent then that needs to be dealt with. No one should be allowed to get away with that. If it was a mistake, then sure that happens, but intention is everything here.

Secondly, I would like to state again, an admin should educate people, not threaten them straight out of the gate. Helel's threats are not called for, especially with new users and people who are just learning the system of the wiki, which I'm sure we can all agree is confusing and unintuitive at first. His tone and behavior has abuse of power written all over it, and I hope the other admins will put a stop to it somehow, even if he's not demoted.
