Why can't admins be as awesome as the mods here? 
I don't know. I have an aversion to e-drama, so I am careful which battles I choose. The one that got me in ire with the other admin was concerning another user's request for rollback rights. This user, for some reason or another, just doesn't sit right with a handful of admins, whereas the rest of us think he's fine. We have nothing against him and feel that he will be a valuable asset in the fight against vandals. I had monitored the discussion closely and at times was going to join in, but others had already said what I was going to say, and my input would be just hammering it in. So, I stayed out of it. It wasn't my battle, and my contribution wouldn't have made an impact anyway. Cade got his rollback rights. There was no need for me to step in whatsoever.
Apparently, what I do outside of the Wook mean nothing, such as representing us at public events. And people still forget that it was I, not Darth Culator, who worked behind the scenes and with professional civility to resolve an issue concerning one of our images. Culator still thinks that it was all his doing. All he did was harangue Wikia staff and generally complain, citing some "war" if he doesn't get his way.
Also, my being a beat cop on the Recent Changes mean nothing. When it comes to reverting vandalism, warning/blocking users, and deleting stuff, I am a machine. I am very quickly accumulating a hefty deletion total and I am ranked at 9 in the top ten admins, according to activity, and I am considered one of Wikia's (not just Wookieepedia's) top administrators for my professional and courteous attitude, willingness to compromise, and activity outside of my home wiki.
I was also one of the very, very few invited to Wikia's corporate headquarters (along with our founder and another administrator) this May, much to the bewilderment of Darth Culator, who holds a proprietary attitude over us.
But, apparently, that means precisely jack and all because I don't like getting involved in e-drama.
