Hello Joseph

The other Admins, Scottie and Joey, and myself have discussed what the consequences should be, and have come to the conclusion that a permanent demotion is the proper decision. This isn't wholly because of your inactivity, however being inactive for nearly two months without communicating to us properly is what we consider to be the final straw. More on that below.

This demotion does come a lot though, from your past actions. While we know you can't control Gel, or what he does, you did in fact, still engage with him after he hacked the old Twitter account (he changed the e-mail to something YOU should've recognized), HARASSED me, as well as Scottie, and let him use your account to POST STOLEN SUMMARIES after he was BANNED which I think is against FANDOM'S TOS as well. We didn't demote you, or punish you after this because we wanted to give you more chances, we don’t like losing people without giving them a fair shot.

We also found that your work, at times, was not up to a great standard which ended up being more trouble than it was worth. This includes your work on the Demon Hunting page, Gibboura Massacre, never checking the preview when managing your edits and refusing to use spell check when requested to do so in order to improve your sentences. Sometimes this would lead to available staff members committing themselves to your work when they had other projects to fulfil, it should’ve been yours to take care of.

However, you final chance came when you removed an Admin wall warning, which you knew was against the rules yet still chose to disobey, which resulted in a week block. After this point, you were told you were on very thin ice, and any more negative behavior would result in a demotion. Which leads me to...

Nearly two months of inactivity. Now the inactivity isn't an issue, it happens, real life happens, we know this, it's why I first put in the inactivity grace period to begin with. However the issue is you not communicating with us about this. The fact we HAD TO ASK YOU where you went after a month or so of 0 communication is bad enough. After that you gave us a date you'd be back, and we waited. Yet again, you failed to communicate with us when you weren't able to come back at your given date. Again we understand real life happens, however, I do not think it's too hard to pop into the Discord, or onto one of our walls and notify us. Or even on the twitter. We can’t accept any excuse on this.

All of these instances I have described showcase a clear lack of responsibility in your position as an admin, and we, honestly, can't have ANY staff member continue this behaviour after multiple chances, much less an admin. The inactivity part is rather important, because this wiki's problems have all come from admins just, abandoning the wiki and leaving it unmanned. And in Riku's case, he was left ALONE to man the active wiki because the other two admins abandoned their posts.

Hell, I'll even give a more recent example: myself. For the first month, maybe two of taking up the admin post, I was completely alone in monitoring the wiki because you, Riku, and Moon wouldn't monitor the RWA feed because of spoilers. It was not fun, doable, but not fun at all. It could of easily caused burnout if I didn't have Scottie join and eventually you and Riku helping out. I’m sure Riku would describe this same situation too being the only admin during DR3's time, but anyway. You see why activity is important?

You know in the two months you've been inactive, we've had about... two/three cons with several pieces of news, VA announcements, and lots of demo news? We've kept our readers up to date on this news, both twitter and the wiki, but it's a lot to handle by ourselves. So we were waiting on you to help when you said you'd be back however you never showed back up. By this point, we can't rely on you. You say it won't happen again but we can't trust that after we’ve given you multiple chances to show some resolve. Especially not with V3 coming out within two months which will be a VERY high traffic time for the wiki in terms of gathering content.

It is with regret that we must remove you from your staff position for these reasons, as certain acts you have committed are in direct violation of the rules we have set out for the Danganronpa Wiki. I will be removing you from the staff discord shortly, as well demoting you on the wiki soon after.
