Okay, there were a total of *79* de-sysoppings this year. I understand three were because of compromising, and several were voluntary, but

is pitiful, and *we can do better*. If people on here want to be danged drama queens, they should just take it to email with the users
involved.
This, again, is pitiful. We've got to stop acting like this and BUILD THE ENCYCLOPEDIA. Thank you.

How many of those were because of bad admins though? Sometimes, an admin needs a break from seeing extra buttons they no longer want to be
dealing
with, so will request to be desysopped. I don't see that as a problem.
Bad admins of course are a problem, and so are compromised accounts.
Less of
that next year of course, but admins can resign whenever they wish - it isn't a problem at all.
Of course I understand the compromising and the bad admins, but that is just about half of the total of de-sysoppings. Abut 25% were the user being tired of it, and the rest was pure drama, which is why I think this is pitiful.

Admins are allowed to get tired of it. They aren't forced to do anything. It can be very stressful.
Yet again, I understand that side of the story. But admins who retire because of a grudge against another user is nonsensical to me.
