I didnt think you were, Ghost, to be honest - however, I just wanted it to be known that one day I will get back to the insane levels of editing that I had when I started - when they are a bit older, for instance.

And yes, I agree completely - If we're going to evaluate some of the staff, we should evalaute us all. (Including TombRaiser and Myself). The reason I got defensive, is, well, there uses to be weeks where I would have several thousand edits in the one week. (I think my record was about 5,000 one week, but I'm not certain of the exact number) - compared to that, a few hours each day is nothing.

I feel that the admins here do a good job as well, not that I am in any way prejudiced :P

And what I said about the moderators (forum, chat, or even patroller) - that really wasnt meant to denigrate from the work you all do - all of those are very important roles. (Heck, probably even more so than Admins, since the philosophy behind a good wiki is to let the community decide things, rather than a "we say how it is" approach. (Maybe that's because RL work is kinda the second one, lol.).

I see what you mean about the Chatroom though. Unfortuntely, like you said, there is little that can be done (at least at this stage). That said - as far as I know, we were looking at getting that chat recorder bot installed at some point. (We were talking about it a while back). If that happens - there would at least be some sort of documentation if incidents were occurring (where staff were needing to be warned).

Although, that said, if the staff are acting inappropriately enough, ANY one of the staff can be removed from their position. Even Administrators, In those circumstances, Tomb Raiser, Myself, or Deyvid would be able to remove their Administrative rights, if they are doing so. I will sound like I condone bad behaviour in staff here, but in those circumstances, it can get very messy very quickly - and it would usually be after they repeatedly do the wrong thing after being warned about it a few times first. I dont condone bad behaviour, but we also need to ensure that we dont divide the community at the same time. That is largely for administrators though - but we are a lot more critical about who we promote for those reasons I just said. Oh, and an important addition - even the Bureaucrats can be removed if we get too power-hungry. You'd need to contact Wikia for that though. I honestly don't see that needing to be done though. If folks think that I should be gone (I dont think that they think that) but if they did - I would of course step down. Same goes for the other b'crats. (The wiki that was around before I adopted it became an empty shell because the powers-that-be at the time ignored the community. I like to think I've learned that lesson).

I think I went on an even greater ramble this time - but I thought it was important for you to know that there ARE actions that can be taken in these circumstances.

As for the evaluation itself - do you have any suggestions as to how this would take place?
