I'm having trouble figuring out how to write this post because no matter how I structure it, I will still kind of come across as an asshole and that is not how I want to be viewed by the people here. I shall aim to address every possible point here, so please be patient and read the entire thing before having an emotional reaction of any kind.

Basically, Koopa, Titan and I have been speaking on the Wikizilla chat about the staff of this website and we came to the consensus that we really don't need eight bureaucrats here. Titan has self-demoted himself so we are down to seven, but that is still more people than is required.

We propose that we have an actual staff system here. This is a wiki where he have a founder and seven bureaucrats, but no admins, patrollers or whatever other roles there are. We believe there should be one founder (Indominus, obviously), three bureaucrats and four admins. Then users like KingOfKretaceous can perhaps be chat moderators, completing the system.

The thing is that unlike places like MosuFan2004 Wikia, the Fan Made Kaiju Wikia is meant to be a serious wiki that is taken seriously by the people who visit it, hence the introduction of the Parody template to distinguish the two types of kaiju from each other. Because of this, we need to take it seriously too and can't have a staff made up of seven bureaucrats just because they happen to be friends. I've read some of the summaries in the user rights log, which literally confirms that some people have only been assigned the bureaucrat role due to the fact that they are friends.

As Mosu, Koopa and I are the only users here who actually use their bureaucrat powers, we think it is in the best interests of the wiki if we three are kept on as bureaucrats, while the other four current bureaucrats become admins. Koopa and I are also the only two staff members legally recognised as adults. No disrespect to any of you guys (really, I don't mean any disrespect), but at the end of the day you are still legally recognised as children and a wiki designed to be taken seriously shouldn't be ran by a staff of children who aren't entirely sure how Wikia even works. Don't think that being an admin is bad. An admin still has the ability to do such things as protect / lock pages, block users, delete pages and grant rollbacks and chat mod privileges. Basically, every thing a bureaucrat can do except edit the site itself. You also still get to keep your bright colours attached to your usernames.

The staff should go like this:

Founder - Indominus Rex 2016

Bureaucrats - MosuFan2004, KoopaGalaxian, Myself

Admins - SuperNerd295, Cdrzillafanon, BigRandomKaiju, MechaKingGhidorah789

Chat Mods - FlurrTheGamerMixel (I believe he's changed enough to earn a second chance) and KingOfKretaceous

As Koopa and I are not the founder, we can not remove bureaucrat status from other users, so the only way to do it is for the bureaucrats to self-demote themselves as Titan did. Now, I can already predict your responses. You'll either get angry and refuse to demote yourself or you'll mention past contributions such as "Oh, I helped with the vandal crisis stuff" but if you actually bother to read this post, you'll know you can still block users and lock pages as an admin, rendering that argument invalid.

Because of this, it all comes down to maturity. I'm sorry to say it, but for this wiki to move forward, we have to be mature. We can continue with a staff of seven bureaucrats or we can take the wiki seriously and do what is necessary to treat it as such.

Please give your opinions in the comments. I hope I've explained it well enough and I really hope I haven't offended any of you guys, because I don't want to.
