Appealing to fellow region-mates

[Sandaoguo]

Like I said, I think the bigger danger here is the centralization of power in NationStates. I don't see why we need you to be an admin, over somebody who's first priority is TSP.

 

I certainly don't think Hileville's actions were unjust or undemocratic. I think you blew this way out of proportion, not because you care about the process, but because of how it affected you. That's just human. I don't personally think it's reasonable to demand Hileville completely reverse the decision, let alone make demands at all. Decisions about who can be an admin should be based first and foremost on the needs of these forums, then on the trustworthiness of the individual.

 

Trustworthiness encompasses more than just a personal characteristic. It includes conflicts of interests and the inherent dangers of centralizing power and authority. It's an extreme example, but I wouldn't trust Jesus Christ if he had dictatorial powers. I think if you want to help TSP, you can be a global moderator. I think if there's a citizenship backlog, we can also have a special group that has ACP restrictions limited to changing account group memberships. I don't think it's necessary for there to be a ton of full admins, especially if those extra admins have power and connections elsewhere.
