NO, I WILL NOT SHUT UP, AND I'M STAYING HERE, YOU MEAN PICTURE!

I completely agree with this. Issues like this are what convinced me to leave the Victorious Wiki.

Admins are not perfect, and this goes for ANY admin on ANY wiki. Admins are users, with a few special abilities. If a user screws up, they get a warning message. If an admin screws up, they get a protest. That is not justified anywhere.

Secondly, if anyone wants to make an accusation about anything, they need evidence, and both sides of the story. A user should be able to admit what they did wrong in pointing out another's flaws.

It's the same as if you had a physical fight with someone at school, and the teacher asks what happened. One person is going to say everything that happened, so long as it makes the other person look at fault. Then you'll get the exact same thing from another perspective, with some overlapping bits, and an entirely different perspective on who was at fault. I would like to use Who Did it to Trina? as an example, because honestly, it could not fit better.

If you want to make a serious complaint, state exactly what happened, not just what the other person did. Admit that you did wrong, admit what the other did wrong, don't exaggurate, don't underexaggurate, just state pure and simply what happened. (Even if you use screencaps.) Then a third party can look at it from a balanced perspective, and determine who was in the wrong, or who was in more wrong or whether it was equally at fault.

I can't say the same for every admin, but when I look at an issue, I take into account that my friends, or other admins (even if they are my friends) might be in the wrong. I am unlikely to defend someone whether they are my friend or not, because the chances are that if you're defending someone, you've been told one side of the story. This is different when I hear both sides of the story and one side is clearly in the wrong.

Issues like this shouldn't need the whole wiki involved, and getting friends involved only makes for a more irritating decision by the deliberator, who is quite capable of sorting this out with those involved and any witnesses.

Anyway, I've had enough rant for one day, so enjoy that, or not, but if you did bother reading that, take note of what I'm saying
