::This micromanagement, top-down approach may work on some sites, but it's doomed to fail on a free-for-all wiki system, I think. The only reason why it's not ''completely'' imploding yet is the fact that its active userbase is not growing at a noticeable rate.

::Additionally, this "policy" effectively does what many people had fought against - it merges editor and sysop roles into one. The edit of a sysop weighs more than the edit of an editor, no matter what the facts say. And without any fixed rules to judge what is "contrary to the Conservapedia philosophy", sysops effectively cannot be held responsible for bad decisions since there are none by definition. Convenient! --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 20:42, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

*I would love to see your citations, Sid! Your whole argument is, that this place isn't a private site, and somehow belongs, ultimately, to the Users, and all decisions are ultimately made by them. Interesting concept. I understood the place to be private, and started upon the idea of the HomeSchoolers. As I said above: "If one cannot make that leap of faith, they are perhaps at the wrong site." I would amend that to say, probably at the wrong site. --~ [[User:TK|Sysop-TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 20:56, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

:No. You get promoted whenever a bureaucrat feels like it. Sometimes, the ominous "Panel" appoints somebody to be a sysop, but often enough, it's seemingly random. Just today, somebody was made sysop without any discussion. The new sysop and even Andy, the site's founder, were caught by surprise. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 20:45, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

I believe, contrary to what Sid erroneously said, there is indeed a page made for asking. I know I have seen it. Maybe Ed Poor knows where it is, or another Sysop. --~ [[User:TK|Sysop-TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 20:56, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
