That sentence is hugely contradictory.

How have we abused our power? I've heard this so many times but it is never explained. Do you even know what sysop power abuse looks like? Let me give you some examples:


 * Sysops who ban people without rhyme or reason, or better yet, because they hate them. I've never seen that done here. Ever.
 * Sysops who protect pages so that only they can edit the information there. This happens on Bleach Wiki every week. The only time I've ever seen a sysop protect a page here, including myself, is if it is in a constant revert war; to dissolve the issue.

So then what? Because we don't agree with you? Because we don't do everything you demand? That isn't power abuse. That's called being individualistic. Sysops are not a political force on this wiki. We are simply users with extra buttons to help keep the wiki from becoming a festering nest for trolls and fangirls/boys (aka the Shippers). wrong like for example @foxie; you abuse your power by doing things that are not needed like all that sand being magnet release shit.

I'll say it again.

That isn't an abuse of power. That is something you don't like because you don't agree with it. Sorry, but I don't step on eggshells around here. I don't cease being an editor because you want to decide how and what I edit. I wasn't the one who gave the green light for the Magnet Release fiasco, but I agree with the person who did, and yes, I was going to protect that user's edits from being reverted because if I didn't, it would've devolved into a full blown edit war, which would've been harmful to the wiki: you know? My job as a sysop.

Stop confusing what you want with what a sysop should do.

They're not one in the same.
