User blog comment:Gideoncrawle/ADMIN BLOG POST: Should SpaceWeather be promoted?/@comment-1264520-20140113043134/@comment-1844926-20140113235443

Grown man with a job, young student with schoolwork... There's no difference really, and I somehow sense no one would really point it out if one of the younger admins had done as much work as Gideon has (I'm not trying to be rude, obviously). I deleted about 500 pages when I was first promoted as well, and to be frank, the breaking down of me to "little more than a glorified chatmod" is not accurate whatsoever. I go on chat, yes-- part of an admin's job is to be social and approachable by all the users, which I can safely say I know of a few admins who aren't viewed as approachable. But I'm going off on a tangent; I do favors for people all the time on chat when they ask (i.e. restoring images that people have purged for seemingly no reason, deleting pages, etc.) Yes, Gideon does a majority of the work, but saying he does everything (as both this blog and some of the discussion imply) is outright unfair and definitely doesn't motivate me to actually do more, because why do anything if everyone's just going to des credit me into a "glorified chatmod"?
