User blog:Alissa the Wise Wolf/Keeping Admin, and my reflections on my Bcrat rights.

As you all know I was promoted to Tech Admin. My job as tech admin is to maintain the CSS and JS of the wiki, and add features to the wiki to make it more enjoyable. What some of you failed to realize is this is a time consuming job. I have to be active 24/7, updating codes, writing new ones, all to make this a better place. As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to Admin chain of Command, I'm at the bottom. I will function as a emergency chat mod for when no one with rights is on. I'm putting forth 110% into this wiki, and with the admin rights, I can make it even better. The only problem, is the idea of my adminship being an on and off thing. Doing this can result in code failing to be maintained, and it would be an overall impractical system. I'm often on here at 7-8 AM in the morning (Central Time) and Kuzon doesn't get on until almost 12 hours later. Not only would this system be wasting his time, but coding would be left neglected as well. I've been through the CSS and JS of the wiki. I've found broken coding left and right. I've even managed to fix CSS glitches Kuzon failed to figure out in years. (With some assistance from SS7S, as I had no way of testing new code before I added it, and he did.) I've added Chat Tags and User Tags. I've given Admins Kuzon, Wyrm, and Conner more stylization to their coloured names. I customized the Mod Stars as well. Along with these, I can add even more cool features to the wiki given I have the rights 24/7.

Now on the subject of my Bcrat rights. After some, albeit a bit heated, discussions. I decided that I'm not ready for this level of responsibility. Conner and Kuzon could probably agree. I feel that I should settle into my role as admin first before I consider the possibility of ever being promoted that high again. What I do not appreciate is being bugged and pestered to do something, nor do I like it when people complain 24/7 for any real reason. I hadn't done anything wrong, these reactions were unwarranted. But for now I will be removing these rights, and it's up to you guys if you're okay with me being the Tech admin. I'll be your template and code helper as well, so don't be afraid to ask.


 * Not to mention more cool features. (did I say that already?)

I have major plans for updating the appearance of the wiki. I'm going for a more futuristic look to fit with the era Lookout is in. I will hold a poll on the bottom. At midnight, I will tally the votes, and remove the Bcrat status. (Wanna give at least everyone a chance to vote) Keep Tech Admin for more cool features and constant CSS/JS maintenance. Yes No
