There has been a lot of discussion right now on the wiki, mostly about inactive admins and appointing new admins. But also about the auction and other topics. I'll break down the basic jist of what everyone has come to together.

1) Deadmin Charles. Since he is a bureaucrat he either has to go voluntarily or he has to be removed by wikia itself. He has been inactive for five months now. Secondly, possibly deadmin Tyler. He is said to take an abstince of leave, due to personal issues. We don't know how long he'll be away. Problem is, Blake also took an abstince of leave a while ago, for two weeks. We didn't deadmin him.

2) Fix the troubles with the auction. They are mostly about a lot of miscommunication with users claiming things even though they've already reached claim limit and irking and harrassing the auction workers about it. What was found best is that we could have a section at the bottom of the auction page, showing a record of what users have claimed in recent times. That way we can keep control over users and their limit.

3) Secondly, a thing I thought about. There is one user group which has never even been thought about on this wiki. Moderators. They basically have the same rights as admins on the forum boards. They can delete, highlight and move threads, replies and messages, amongst other things. What I think, is that we give the auction workers this right. That way, they'll a) have more authority amongst users and better self-esteem. b) they can also be good for the forums, so that we get more control on this. c) they'll also be able to help out on users' message walls if trolls or other aggressive behavior arises.

4) I might have missed some stuff

So yeah, discuss guys! But non-admins, as it says in the title, do not reply to this thread. You'll get a warning first time, then a ban, if you do it for a second time. Since it's very difficult to get all the admins on chat at once, because of my tricky timezone and other things, this is a good alternative. And, it lets the community discuss (nOT IN THIS THREAD) and talk about the things we come up with.
