I have decided that I'll be quitting my job as an admin in the wiki. What's the reason for this? Well, it's because I've realized that I haven't been doing a good job anymore. I don't monitor edits or clean up pages at all, I don't try to go into content revisions and offer help, I tend to avoid interfering when hostility erupts between users, and I wish to always leave rule violation reports to other admins nowadays. I honestly don't think I'm eligible to be an admin anymore, and the thread Sera (someone I've respected for as long as I've been here) made is what really helped me come to terms with that. So yeah, these are the problems, to say nothing of college and external duties which will inevitably bring with it a lot of time investment outside the wiki
If I was being generous with myself, I might say that the problems could be remedied, and that only a break is needed; but I honestly don't think that's the case. I'm not feeling pressure, and my real life circumstances are normal, if I can't put my time into the wiki now, I simply may not be able to put time into it at all. I think I've just lost my motivation, and now there's nothing to be done.
With all that said, there's just one thing I have to make clear, I loved my time as staff. Before this wiki I was a person who didn't think much of himself but contributing to the site helped me change that. I felt like people were depending on me, giving me value, and that I was putting my time and effort into something I liked, and standing up for my viewpoints, in a way that I could've never imagined myself doing before, I was genuinely proud of myself, and I can't thank you people enough for that.
Understand that I didn't become tired of the wiki, I just don't think I'm able to contribute to it anymore in a way that my title demands, and because of that I turn in my proverbial badge and leave the work to all the other people in the team. All this of this had been a great experience, thank you and wish you luck
