Oppose —  I spoke with my brother who is the super administrator on a site that had a quarter million article veiws yesterday. I had him read this whole thread. This is what he told me: From a technical point of veiw, the prolonged inactivity of GramsJ creates a vulnerability to the wiki being hacked. As such the door should be locked in order to prevent a brute force attack. He gave specifics about this, but they are not relevent here.

That being said, I have the following opinion: It is not a matter of what this does or does not say to the person who we are removing, a person who I also have never met. It matters what doing this will say about this community. Let me stress this, a funeral is of no value to a dead person. It is of value only to those who remain. If we allow this precedent to occur then we as a community are lesser for it. One does not remove the ancient memorial. One does not take a vote to un-do the honorable actions of one's ancestors. This is not done. We as a community ARE people who can say with pride that we remember our fallen. I buried my own father 2 years ago. He battled cancer for far more than 3.5 years. I reapect this community because it does things like this. A vote to erect a memorial (and whether or not it was know at the time that was what was being done does not change the fact that itwas exactly what it was) is irrevokable, like the laws of the Medes and the Persians - It cannot be latter changed.

Mr. SuperSajuuk's behavior in this thread disturbs me. He seems to be motivated be blatant ambition. The way that he replys to any opinion which is not his own, in a forum which is created to allow opinions to be expressed is distateful to me, and comes off as poor form. Nor did he take the time to come up with solutions to objections, he mearly tried to shoot them down, as long as the name color of the opinion holder did not threaten his ambitions. As such, I will be voting against his promotion in the future for lack of bedside manner.

I believe that unfortunatly although his reasons are suspect his request is... a need.

Still, we must not simply do this without creating an actual memorial to GramJ. We as a com munity have at our disposal this wonderful wiki full of pages. I therefore support this motion on the following conditions:

A) That it be made clear that this does not create an oportunity for the promotion of anyone.

B) That an actual memorial page be created for GramJ. This page would explain her                contributions to the wiki and the community. It would also express our love and our loss.

B.1) That this memorial page be eternal and protected.

B.2) That it include the solem oath of Cheatcodechamp and every other Green Name to  reinstall GramsJ should she ever return to the wiki.

Until such a memoril is up and running, I am opposed to the matter. Should that occur, I will change my vote, for security reasons only.

We as a community will be defined by this moment far more than we ever will by the content of our wiki.
