User blog:Fatal Disease/We Are Understaffed

Originally, I wanted to do this in the next 15 days to see my view (hence why I stopped editing for the time being). But what with current stuff happening, I feel that this is necessary for this time period.

We are understaffed on this wiki. And I don't mean understaffed on the wiki to where we have a lack of users in the right. We are understaffed by lack of users who give out, and it's by all the rights on the site (this includes RCaDC members, admins, why even we lack bureaucrats on the site because of this).

During the time that I went on vacation and got back, there were only two, maybe three users with rights who were helping around the site by deleting stories, updating rules, ect. As I got back, I felt like I was mostly the only one who helped out with the site stuff such as deleting articles that weren't par with the QS, and site rule revisions (and I'm not even a bureaucrat at the time, and I had to ask another bureaucrat's discretion to update/change these rules that'll benefit the site, and the bureaucrat not caring [or giving out a tone that the bureaucrat didn't care what I did; the bureaucrat just gave out a yeah, sure, whatever]). This was to a point to where I questioned myself "Should I demote myself?"

I even tried to ask another user with a right to help around this site because, at that time, I felt that everything was pinned down on me, and being the sole user who overworks for users to be happy on this site was, and still causes me more stress than what I needed. And that message got ignored by the user, and the best part was that I saw the users avie on the chat yesterday for a couple of HOURS.

I know that this is a sleepy wiki, and I know people treat this wiki as "the cousin no one wants to fuck" (quoted from SG), but the site does need the attention from its users with the rights that they applied for/got because they have a good reputation. Not just because you "feel like editing because you have a right that isn't on the Inactivity Guidelines". Not because that you don't have time for this wiki, but you're messing around with another wiki. If you eliminate all the inactive users/users who edit the site every 10 - 20 days with rights, you'll get 3 users helping around the site at a reasonable to a fast pace (two are admins, one is a bureaucrat).

I know that you can't force people to work on a site when they're on the internet. I know that people have lives outside of the internet, or actually want to do something better for money reasons. It's just that the site is ignored by its activity that most of the users with rights do not care about it, or that they do care but don't have the interest like they used to have back when the wiki was founded up until 2014. And that issue has been troubling me since my vacation to the point that I actually lecture/lash out people on here. But it isn't about me, it's about the site. The site gets a lack of attention with most of its admins because of its activity, and other projects as well.
