Breaking my silence. My thoughts on the matter (and I'm aware that I may or may not be liked after saying this):

The notion that this should be "SuperSajuuk versus Sysops" is not 100% accurate in my opinion. For SuperSajuuk has said himself, he doesn't bicker with every sysop (only 4 out of 8 active ones), so let's not put every sysop in that category, please. For Dantman has also said himself, users with and without rights have complained about SuperSajuuk's behavior. The thread is here due to controversy on how SuperSajuuk treats everyone in general, not just the sysops.

I have the same rights as SuperSajuuk. That being said, though I may not garner as many complaints as he has, I will explain my reasoning for being an operator and chat moderator. I am of the belief that actions speak louder than words. To expand upon that belief, I am not a forum operator and chat moderator for the purpose of only telling others what to do and merely keeping people in line alone. I do what I do and act how I act to also try and set an example for other users. But at the same time, even with responsibilities, I do want to have a good time with other users as well.

Like I said, actions speak louder than words. If I am to tell someone not to perform a certain action or behave a certain way, such as not participating in flame wars and such, then I try make sure that I am cognizant of what I say and do not indulge in such actions myself. If I tell someone to follow a policy that applies to them, then I have to do so myself if it applies to me, correct?

The question I have for you all is this: After what's happened in this thread, can you make (or rather, could you have made) the same case for SuperSajuuk? Does he, follow the words he says and act upon them most of the time?

If he does, then the problem should decrease in size. If he doesn't, then that's what likely holds SuperSajuuk down the most, other than his general behavior.

Does he need to alter his general attitude? Judging by this thread, yes. Big time. He's angered many users with his general attitude and behavior. But I've also made mistakes. I may do things that seemingly are the opposite of what I'm saying now. Everyone makes that mistake. No one is 100% consistent, but no one should be extremely volatile either. And I will continue (not intentionally) to make mistakes. I am human.

But it's not about me. It's about SuperSajuuk and his actions. He is someone that I consider an acquaintance that I encounter day in and day out. I will acknowledge that he has his pros, and that he has his cons. From my observation, it seems that relatively newer users support him, and veteran users are the ones wary of him (and of course, there are exceptions). But everyone can agree that abusive behavior and/or abuse of tools, whether he's done them or not, is not tolerated.

Whether all of his rights be stripped from him to restrain him as users have suggested and/or him being blocked as a user and even Wikia Staff have suggested per Dantman, or merely a warning/reminder... it's about what is best for the wiki's interests. No one wants this in-fighting to go on forever.

Personally, some of the actions I wouldn't want to see. But, I will take personal feelings out of this. I'm not here to "take sides," but to inform people of what I have witnessed. Sometimes, I try to do things from a neutral standpoint, even if I don't succeed in doing so. But what's important is the community at large. In this case, we cannot make everyone happy (doesn't mean we shouldn't try, though). And it's not about making one person or a few people happy either. There will always be those who are satisfied and those who are disappointed. It's about what the majority of community wants at times, yes, but also what's best for the wiki too. That being said, whatever the result, even if it's something I don't personally agree with, I remain committed to what is truly best for the wiki and its community at large.
