I gotta say I agree with the too many admins thing. The only example I can think of as of now(I'm doing this in a hurry, I've got some big changes planned IRL and that's why I haven't been coming to Wikia this much for the last two weeks) is Warp's case. In the space of a month, he got promoted from simple user to Administrator, with chat moderator promotion in-between. Not only do I think it's way too fucking fast, but at the time of both of his promotions, I could tell he wasn't in a state cut out for the job. Like, at all. So, I think it's probably more of a problem of choosing the people to promote rather than too many of them, maybe both. Nevertheless, you guys might only remember me because of the "Use the goddamn kick button", but I was serious about this. This in an integrant tool of the chat moderator/administrator on chat, and SHOULD be used when necesary. I think that's where most complaints of "unfairness" come from. So, my personal suggestion is that we include in the mod training courses on how the kick/ban system usually works on Wikia as a whole(in my personal experience at least, and I've been to at least 10 different ones since 2011).

First offence: Warning.

Second Offence: Kick.

Third offence: Ban, the length of which decided by the local wikia rules in place.

And if the user continues his offences outside of chat, then a block will be needed. I always recommend the IP block to avoid sockpuppets. This method can be circumvented by changing devices, but let's face it: 99% of people in this world don't have more than 3 devices to which they use to surf Internet. Usually, one IP block is enough.

That's all I had to say, cyall
