==Motion of no confidence==
I am initiating a [[No confidence vote|vote of no confidence]] in [[User:RobSmith]]. Over the past few months, I have grown increasingly distressed with the state of Conservapedia. I would like to contribute good-quality conservative content, but I have not because of the shadow RobSmith casts over the encyclopedia. A by no means exhaustive list of grievances:
*He is the king of "rules for thee, but not for me". He often complains about people "peeing all over the carpet" by joining in discussions they were not a part of. And yet he finds the need to respond to every thread over at [[User talk:Aschlafly]], adding his "two cents".
*He claims that anything critical of Russia or Putin is [[Russophobic]]
*He believes that he is responsible for the decrease in vandalism over the past few months, when anyone with a functioning brain would realize it is because creating new accounts is disabled
*He believes that page protection is the first tool against vandalism. No. Blocks are used when the problem is the user, page protection is used when the problem is the page. Protecting pages because of one user just prevents [[good faith]] contributions to the page by other users.
*His views on content are wildly off-base with those of the general readership of CP. See: [[Conservapedia:AFD Essay:Russian war crimes in Ukraine]]
*He views any popular challenge to his authority as a [[mobocracy]], when it is simply an exercise in the taking the views of the [[best of the public]]
*He needs to collaborate with ''everyone'', not just members of [[Team CP]]. There was no [[elitist]] gang of editors until RobSmith started one.
The undersigned users endorse this statement and believe RobSmith needs to be de-sysoped for the good of Conservapedia, and humbly request Andy remove his admin rights:

*The problem is RobSmith, not the supposedly "Russophobic" contributors he keeps attacking. [[User:MayGodBless|MayGodBless]] ([[User talk:MayGodBless|talk]]) 20:34, October 9, 2023 (EDT)
