So I've done a bit more research into this situation, and here's all I've got to say.

Grow a fucking pair. Both of you.

I make no apologies for the profanity. I'm fucking sick and tired of this.

Aelanna: if you want to be staff or moderator again, become staff or moderator again. If you want the privilege of helping to dictate site policy and assisting newbies? Become Senior Staff and take on the responsibilities that it entails. That's what the entire role is for. Your current behavior has a strong feeling of wanting your have your cake and eat it too: you want to do all the things that senior staff do without taking on the responsibility. So either grow a pair and join senior staff or stop doing things like setting up an "unofficial glossary" without first consulting with actual wiki staff and moderation.

Bright: your unilateral actions are getting frustratingly common. I'm sick and tired of hearing on site19 and through [SUPER SECRET STAFF CHAT OH NO] that the shit has hit the fan again because you're acting on your own like some 80s action hero without first checking with other staff. If it's an emergency, then you should also have made a forum post explaining what you did, why you did it, and what your reasons for doing so were. I'm sorry that you're going through a tough time. If you need to take some time off to deal with it, I'm perfectly fine with it and will welcome you back when you're feeling more stable. But that's not an excuse. Either grow a pair and deal with your own life issues or recognize that you need to take some time off to deal with it so as to not burn your bridges with the rest of the site's membership and leadership.

All things considered, I have reviewed the facts of this case, find no merit in Aelanna's request for a vote of nonconfidence in Bright at this time, and will instead ask the rest of Site Administration to make an executive decision regarding what actions, if any, should be taken to discipline him.

This thread will remain locked. If you feel that I am, in some way, being unfair, please start a new thread to begin that discussion.
