Barging into any conversation being prohibited? Censorship. It's policing activity among users, inhibits expansion of friendships and conversations, and keeps people from feeling comfortable interacting with other people. I don't agree that the rule should exist in its current state. A CLEAR and CONCISE rule stating not to intrude on ADMIN-USER conversations that pertain to (specifically) rule-breaking should DEFINITELY be placed in the Wiki's policy. As it stands, it comes across as incredibly authoritarian and dominating on YOUR part, Jo.

I did not say it is  prohibited as long as you have permission from the party in which the thread belongs to: the one who started the conversation and the one whom the conversation belongs to. Read what I typed carefully before you try to pick on every single word that you want to use against me.

That being said, sometimes it's necessary to call out "authority" issues. You say there is no "dominating hierarchy" when there in fact is. You claim it is you being "OCD," but that doesn't excuse rudeness in any capacity.

In our other conversation, I admit that I am blunt and rude because I constantly get frustrated with the workload I receive from the wiki. Forgive me for putting a term of exaggeration known as "OCD". I just needed the correct term to exaggerate my current scheme towards work.

You claim not to have any viable "candidates" to upload episode image galleries, but the fact that one has to pass YOUR criteria doesn't exactly scream "fair" in many ways. I looked over the rules, and believe I'd even be able to upload those galleries no problem (particularly because I do this type of thing with another show and am familiar with the expectations that even you should deem appropriate).

I do not have any viable candidates because one, when past users have tried to do it, they haven't fit the criteria. Note that you haven't been involved in any previous arguments with the episode galleries, so do not come here and point your fingers and say that this is a criterion created by ME MYSELF AND I. This criterion has been set thanks to numerous episode gallery setting and arguments that I have had on the Aikatsu Wiki and on chat spaces with other users that are not on the wiki. My current criterion is based on the work of Abcioh12, a large contributor to the episode galleries of Aikatsu Wiki. I do not believe that you were here long enough to notice the work Abcioh has done into reforming our galleries, so that users behind her follow the perfect role model that she has done.

Two, because no one has talked to me about it. Users are to contact me if they want to help out. If you wanted to help out with the rotation, all you had to do was to ask, and all I needed to see was to make sure you fit with what the wiki is going for. Hielmiez is on success rotation because after displaying what he could do when he started filling in episode galleries when were shorthanded, I have coached him many many times on another social media platforms on tips on what to do with the screenshots. I welcome anyone who wants to give the episode galleries a challenge. I don't ASK people. I don't know who wants to help out or who doesn't. They will have to Contact me. And the same goes for you if you really think you would like to be a part of the team.

TL;DR - Be kinder. It's not fun being an admin. And if it stresses you out so much, reach out to the other half-a-dozen admins to get some help. If no help is available, start looking for more mods. Being stressed and "OCD" doesn't excuse the rude way you come at users for small things that I've noticed. I think you're a WONDERFUL admin, and your organizational skills and work on this wiki are unparalleled. So it does hurt when someone like me comes on here and sees such blatant rudeness. :( Honestly, it makes me sad to see a happy place brought down by totalitarian leadership.

The other admins are doing their best at what they do best, taking over departments in which I do not have time to take over. We current administrators are constantly discussing on new candidates for rollback users and administrators. I am not the one who holds the final decision to giving rights to users. I am not a bureaucrat. This right belongs Halo1081, the founder of this wiki. All of us have a list of possible candidates. It's just not the time yet.

I'll apologise if I was attempting to use stress and OCD as an excuse for being rude. All I need you to know is that no matter how much tolerance we admins should be having when we see repetitive unnecessary actions that happen all the time, people like me would tend to lash out a bit more often. I leave the community untouched most of the time and let the seeds of happiness grow before I start to ruin them again. Until then.
