Lastly, you have to consider the consequences of anything you vote for. Let's say your plan works as intended: You create threads, "abusive" (there are none) sysops are removed --- then what do you have? Well, then you have to either deal with the hole filled by that sysop's removal, or you have to replace them. That opens the door to constant promotions, de-promotions, etc. It'd be an endless cycle of hate threads, combined with promotion threads, that would only escalate the problem - not solve it.

Overall, I don't think this wiki has any abusive sysops. Are their sysops who are firm and hotheaded: yes. I am very hotheaded and that tends to get me in hot water sometimes. It isn't something I intend and I usually feel bad about it after I've cooled down (ask Elve how many times I've apologized to him in the past after a particularly nasty spat), but none of us use the sysop tools to harm or silence users of this wiki. All of us have a heart for this wiki (else, why would we be here?). So no, I don't think a "revolving door" policy, such as this would create, would be beneficial to this wiki. That is bogus. While I may not have problems with all the sysops here, two poke out to be the one who are rather rude and believe themselves to be superior. Those two being you and especially Tau. I may also point out I'm not the only one to believe this, just the only one who wants to speak up. I haven't begun a thread just yet because I'm waiting for the right time. Tau is right on the ball as I've got plenty of evidence on him. With evidence I have, Tau literally threatened me with his position because I disagreed with him on a topic and didn't want look at his timeline. Sysops don't have to be perfect, no one is but with a position such as that should come maturity and role models to the community. One thing I believe out of your whole statement is the part where we all have a heart for the wiki.

On to the topic, other wikis have some annual thing that Jizō had thought of where at least twice a year users do a evaluation to see who's doing their job right and who isn't. If bashing is what your afraid you might as well get rid of forums period because people are always going to feel a certain way against one another (sad but true). I'm noy saying its an excuse for bashing to occur but if it does it will be taken care of. A warning or two will be given in all.
