And the Decision Is...?
Hey Axel,

It has been slightly over a week and shell and I have heard nothing on the final verdict about our adminship requests. Has a decision been made? Has it been discussed at all? I do not mean to rush or inconvenient you, but under the circumstances and the previous events surrounding the votes... I just want a final answer on the matter, that is all...

Message me back when able,

MaDrummer (talk) 04:52, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

I agree, I think it's about time something final was done. 06abrahb won't be happy if he finds out we weren't promoted and you and him will have an even harder time making up, and I'm not using that as an excuse to get myself the position, I'm just saying what will happen.

In the end, though, the decision is yours, it seems.

Getting my blog on front page
Hey axel I was wondering if you can get my blog to be seen on the front page wiki, so as many people as possible can be included on this vote. Negan TWD (talk) 21:46, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

RE: The Decision
Always on, message me when you want to chat.

MaDrummer (talk) 04:26, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I'm sorry, but this is getting ridiculous, Axel, literally there is no reason for no action to have been taken yet, 06 doesn't need to agree to the new policy to elect new admins when he already says that Drummer and I should be admins. I'm going to Mister T about this, as he's the only other active bureaucrat available most of the time.

Shellturtleguy (talk) 16:06, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

How are you?!
Salutations,

Hey Axel TWD,

Today I write to you this message In hopes that you respond to this with no Bullshit.

Before I begin, I would like to indirectly apologize to Magic because I told him that I'm just staying on the sidelines, but I can't restrain myself anymore, so my apologies.

You know what Axel, I'm sick of this, We were happy when you assured us that I am doing this and that but after a few days......not even a whiff of your scent. Yes sometimes I see you edit some things but I don't feel it not even it came to the point that it boosted my morale.

Now about the Admins, You might ask about the purpose of it. As you know we have six of you Admins here and not all are active, So I came up with the initiative for a new set of Admins (drummer and shell) to be installed. For short, This is beneficial for all of you, Why? Because it decreases your stress and load in your own real lives, where you can focus on it while the new ones, who are trusted with a few special buttons, will take over for it.

Look, I understand you because I work, study, and deal with my own personal life, but as Admin and a Wikia staff (I assume) you are accustomed to this joint, I am also a user of the community central and I had a conversation with Ma'am Sannse, when I asked her on how to become a B-crat, do you know what she told me?, Go to MisterTrouble as this is the only active B-crat in your Wiki. Now, this leaves me to the question: Aren't you ashamed?

I know it's getting Invasive for my part but think about it.

But I have to give credit and commend you for hanging the Users eligibility for Adminship, but what about the staff?, policies?, blogs?, anons and users?. Give us an update.

I am just a new guy in this Wiki and english isn't my first language and my reason for messaging you is 50% shallow but I hope you got the gist of it and hopefully you respond to wiki as soon as you see this and if ever I offended you, then I apologize.

--WalkerMaimer (talk) 08:32, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Vince,

I appreciate the apology, but try to refrain from any rude behavior if possible. You come across as one of the smartest users in the community, and as I have said to many others before you, rudeness completely detracts from one's argument.

On to the main point of your message, I appreciate and understand your concern. MaDrummer and Shellturtleguy have both been promoted to adminship. I explained why I took so long to promote them in a message to Shell here).

I know English isn't your first language but I had trouble understanding this message:


 * But I have to give credit and commend you for hanging the Users eligibility for Adminship, but what about the staff?, policies?, blogs?, anons and users?. Give us an update.

Could you try rephrasing it? It would be much appreciated. I will reply to your concern as soon as possible. Thanks for understanding.

--Axel TWD (talk) 01:25, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Vince. I heard you were offended by my above message but I can not understand what offended you. I'm simply going to chalk it up to a language barrier. Please message me back to let me know what upset you. You are an incredibly helpful user and it would be a shame for this community to lose you. I hope to hear from you soon.

Vandal & Racism
09:16, November 19, 2013 (UTC)Could you bring down the ban hammer on this guy 68.59.53.194. He is vandalizing and using racial profanity. Maimer is fighting the good fight but this anon seems to be one of those relentless ones. Thanks Magicandmadness (talk) 09:17, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, all taken care of.

Turning Presumed Dead to Unknown
Hey Axel wanted to tell you that I changed all of the people with presumed dead statuses because you said that you would be removing them. I want to know if this is okay because I don't want to get in trouble because you may have wanted to make the edits yourself. Thanks --Devinthe66 (talk) 20:50, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Adminship Shellturtleguy
Hey Shell, I just promoted you to admin. I actually didn't read your message until after I promoted you, but I'll address it now. Please try to understand where I'm coming from. A little over a week ago, User:DevynC2 accused me of revoking your admin status due to a "power problem" of mine (You can read his messages here). He claimed that I revoked your status because I needed to be the one to promote you. As you know well by now, this is not the case. I revoked your status because I wanted us to follow the new formal process, as I've explained many times now. However, because of this misconception, I would have much preferred 06abrahb to be the one to promote you and Shell. That's why I have been waiting to hear back from him. However, as you pointed out, he has been inactive for nearly two weeks, so I decided to act and promote you.

Collin, I would like to sincerely apologize for the means by which your request for adminship proceeded. The entire process was exactly what I tried to avoid; confusing, disorganized, and polarizing. Some of that was no doubt my fault, but I blame the majority of the conflict on miscommunication.

Going forward with you and MaDrummer, I hope we can continue to greatly expand and improve this community. Let's set an example to all the other users on our Wikia and prove that we can all work together peacefully, even through disagreements.

You have come so far since when I first interacted with you here and I am extremely proud and happy to have you join the admin ranks. Let's talk sometime in the next few days about some of the prevalent community topics going on right now. Please shoot me an email at axel.twd@gmail so we can communicate better. Thanks, and congratulations.

--Axel TWD (talk) 00:51, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Adminship Madrummer
Hey Daniel, as you noticed, I promoted you to admin. I explained why I waited until now in my message to Shell (You can read it here). I hope you understand.

As I said to Shell, I'm sorry that your request process was not very proper, to say the least. I hope that with you and Shell as new leaders, we admins can work together more closely and communicate with one another more effectively. Let's set an example to all the users in this community and prove that we can all work together peacefully, even through disagreements.

I know you are the right person for this job. Even when I first became an administrator back in 2012, I knew that you would soon follow. You are a huge asset to the Wikia, but more importantly, you are kind and fair to everyone in this community. In my opinion, that always comes first, even above experience and editing savvy, which you also have a lot off.

Thank you for your tremendous patience over the last few weeks. Please send me an email at axel.twd@gmail.com sometime over the next few days. I'll be in touch regarding some of the latest community developments. I'm looking forward to working with you more closely in the future. Thank you, and congratulations on your promotion.

An Idea
Hey Axel! I know the past few weeks have had their fair share of ups and downs for you. I want to praise you for keeping a cool head through all of this and hope you were not offended by any user comments directed at you.

Now onto the real subject of this message. I know you are re-arranging the admin and staff request pages and I thought this would be the best time to ask this. Know a handful of users have told me that they think the amount of users becoming staff is silly. So I am here to try and soothe their complaints. I have always thought that staff positions should be limited to a certain number of people. For example the Janitor staff is currently at nine people and that is well over enough. So what I am saying is that maybe the Janitor position should have a maximum of eight/nine people...as it is the second most popular position. The less popular positions like writer would have a maximum of 3-5 people, as we really only need that many. Now I know that you are probably thinking that other users would never be able to obtain positions after working hard on the wiki. However I also propose that staff members who are not active after a year or so be removed. This will help bump active users into staff while inactive users are bumped out and a retired template will be placed on their page.

Message me back with an answer to this -- Gravelord (talk) 07:27, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your compliments very much. Thank you. I agree about the amount of staff members being too high. Nearly all of the users promoted to staff positions in the last month or two were promoted by an individual rather than by a formal process. There isn't much I can do about that now without upseting many users. However, I agree with your policy on inactivity. A formal request process for staff positions will be posted soon. Thanks for your patience!

--Axel TWD (talk) 22:46, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Adding To Gravelords Idea
Hey Axel.

"How about this: Any user who declares that they are leaving the wiki and is staff loses their positions. A la WalkerMaimer.  Users who are inactive for over two months also lose their positions"-Me, 2013.

Sound good?

GRANDMASTA (talk) 08:09, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

RE: New Business
Salutations,

Axel TWD,

I don't wanna talk about our "miscommunication" earlier today because I've already moved on and wishes to continue forward. But let me clarify that as of now (since the beginning) that I have no intention to become Admin and B-Crat.....with this over I am extending my hand to shake your hand as a sign for our blossoming friendship.

Now for the rephrasing part:

Staff - You've finished the pre-requisites of eligibility of a user to become an Admin. since then I'm expecting when will the Request for Staff. So when will be this up. Also, we should start stripping the staff and Administrative positions of inactive users. I also encourage that Admins should put a notice that they are not available, that can be found in my User and Talk Page.

Blogs - what are we gonna do with the welcome blogs, and pointless non TWD related blogs, we need to impose strict measures about this.

Policies - This is my current project here, to gather the thoughts of every user on what new policy we should adopt. Don't worry, I'll make sure that you guys are involved and will have a copy for all of you Admins.

Users and Anons - no problem for the users, but we should stop Anons from editing articles, but their right to comment will remain.

You know the drill about my english, respond to me back as soon as you get this and I'll entertain it gladly.

--WalkerMaimer (talk) 11:01, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I'm looking forward to working with you as well. I have addressed your points below:

Staff - The new request process for staff has been in the works and it close to being completed. It should be up sometime this week. I also agree that inactive staff members should be demoted. I'll address that as well. However, I do disagree that admins should be responsible for putting up a notice for when they are not available. I know for me personally, I probably check in on the site at least four or five times a day, simply to make sure there isn't any major vandalism or other problems. Having to "sign in" everytime would be quite a nuisance.

Blogs - There is already a detailed list of blog rules that can be found here: Walking Dead Wiki:Blog Rules. I agree that we should start enforcing these rules more strictly. Please send me a message if you think anything should be added to these rules or if you see a bad blog.

Policies - Like I said above, we already have a blog policy, and we follow the broad Wikia policies as well. I'll look into more specific ones for us. Please email me your ideas at axel.twd@gmail.com.

Users and Anons - I'm still deciding on how I feel about anon editing. I'll get back to you on this.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Resignation
Salutations,

Axel TWD,

I made a realization in the passed few days, As you know I've been working hard in the past four months and I've achieved my milestone but As my fame and talent progress I began forgetting something, I forgot who I am.

So in lieu of this I've decided to strip my positions and retract my candidatures in all positions.

Why?

Like I said I am forgetting of who I was, I've became full of myself, troublemaker, and selfish so I felt that I do not deserve my titles.

The finality of this resignation lies upon you (B-Crat), but I appreciate it if you can share me your thought and a piece of Advice about this and I hope you respond to this as soon as you can.

How/when are users promoted for the staff position they are applying for? One guy is asking me to look over his request for TV Viewer. Thanks. --Mistertrouble189 (talk) 21:08, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'll have a new, detailed request process up by the end of this week. That should answer all your questions! Thanks.

--The Grumpy Cat (talk) 02:09, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hey I did notice that, my apologies. It takes me a while to crop them so I tend to check what has been uploaded, gather my pictures and crop them, and by then a bunch more have been uploaded. Don't worry though, I leave your pictures in the galleries unless I feel the way I cropped a certain photos in beneficial. Sorry again!

Thanks for the Assist
Hey thanks for helping me with the unknown character category, did not expect so many characters to have that status.

I also have to ask you to do something; Can you please re-name this category page so it says Webisode Characters instead of Webisode characters.

Thanks -- Gravelord (talk) 11:20, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Proof
Hello, I've just been on chat and I pointed out that I thought the prison was an actually prison but when a certain user corrected me a few people started calling me a few.. lets just say.. unacceptable names... including: Relic, Negan, LethalWeapon. I have prove that atleast Negan said something as I pressed printscreen, if you would like to see it I will upload it. I'm not sure if you will reply straight away so I will sent this to a large supply of Admins. I thought that Relic would handle the situation with his 'Chat Mod' status but rather abused it by kicking me and saying I'm apthetic etc. Wtf Is This? (talk) 19:55, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you were being harassed in chat. Please send the proof you have to axel.twd@gmail. I will review it and the responsible parties will be punished. Thanks.

Axel TWD (talk) 20:07, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

I uploaded one of the insults to the Wikia, here you go. Wtf Is This? (talk) 20:09, November 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Daniel, I kicked you out of chat for a reason. You were causing arguments. You only seem to post what Negan TWD said, but not what you yourself said. You had just as much a part in this as us, maybe even more. Kicking one person out to stop an argument is better than an argument happening, no? RelicRaider (talk) 20:07, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, the image you posted on my wall has no context. Do you have any images that capture the entire conversation? Please send them to my email, axel.twd@gmail.com. Thanks.

Axel TWD (talk) 20:14, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

That was the only one I took, I got kicked out my Relic before I could do the rest, I have a bigger version of the image but it only has little evidence. Wtf Is This? (talk) 20:18, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Fan-bloody-tastic so I'm to be in trouble now? I was not active on chat at the time. I can easily prove this as I have messages of me claiming that i was leaving chat to work on my fan fiction in USFW. I can also match up the time of many edits on USWF to when the fight occurred. The chat is not an unfair dictatorship Dan! CamTheWoot (talk) 21:15, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Mistake on the Home Page
Hey, I just wanted you to know that the home page has a little mistake. I can't edit it, so I was letting you know.

Twitter
Hey Axel, TBSD here. I noticed a comment from a user today regarding an official wiki Twitter account. He recommended several users, including myself, as people who might run the account. I would be delighted to help run such a thing, however it was a no brainer for me to ask an admin first. So in short, I would like to ask your permission to create an official Twitter account for the wiki, and to be allowed to ask two or three other users to help me manage it. Thanks for your time and I eagerly await your response!

Hey Axel,

It's not my business on how you do stuff on your talk page but Can you please Archive your messages?, It's pretty difficult for us to scroll up and down especially for the case of ios users like me. Thanks! --WalkerMaimer (talk) 23:01, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Also, I'll be sending you the policies I have and other users in my mind via G-Mail, If you need anything just message me. --WalkerMaimer (talk) 01:43, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, my bad, I've been meaning to get to that for a while. Just been super busy!

Re: Vandal
Hey, I wanted to thank you for undoing the vandalism that occured about 15 minutes ago. Great job, much appreciated. With someone like that, there is really no point in giving them a warning, cause they will be banned regardless. It would be much better if you simply informed an admin such as myself. Thanks again.

Axel TWD (talk) 06:54, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem. And I would have reported him if he vandalized another page, I was honestly just waiting for him to make another edit so me and the people on chat could continue our laughing fit. :P --InsaneHippo (T|B|C)

Haha no worries! :)
