I stand exactly by what I said to you in PM: this whole thing makes no sense to me.

I might have done some things good as an admin, but I made not just mistakes, but clearly acted like the king of the mountain and often acted and made questionable rules and decrees without even discussing it with the admins or even the community first. As an example, my "no same-series fights with Death Battle rematches" was me being paranoid that people would use them to go "Aha, Death Battle was wrong and (insert loser) would actually beat (insert winner)." Did I ask the community about it? Or even the admins? No, I just acted like my word was God and just did it because I wanted to. More-or-less the same deal with no real life combatants: I just saw the writing on the wall that people would go "I like that real life person more, so I'll make them win against their opponent" and acted out of delusions that I was making the right call and that it had to be done. I basically acted like "This is my Wiki and I'm going to make it the exact way I want it to be".

And even though I was called out for some of these rules, all that seems to have been forgotten and my time as an admin is remembered fondly. I was criticised a few times, sure, but it seems that gets pushed under the rug because I was the re-founder of the Wiki. Maybe I was forgiven? Sure, that's a possibility, but that would have to start with me acknowledging my wrongs and then gaining it, not just getting it off the bat.

And yet Wither, you've done so much for this Wiki in the time you've been admin thus far. You aren't making up new rules on the fly without consent like I was. You aren't abusing your privledge as admin like I definitely was. And it makes no sense to me why you're being singled out here for no wrongdoings at all.

The idea that you didn't earn the position is absurd to me. Seb is a good guy, but I have to strongly disagree with his entire assessment of you. You didn't get the job from scratching someone's back: you got the job because Big clearly trusted you in the position and saw that you would do well with it. And your time and dedication thus far is clearly proof that Big was right.

To close, I'm baffled this is happening to you and I am on your side on this one. You deserve better treatment than what you've given thus far and I think the whole thing is entirely unwarranted.
