If one crat feels that a particular situation calls for an exception to a rule, all he/she need do is discuss it with another crat and, if a consensus is reached, the exception will typically be made. Yeah. That's why I can see it being pointless to make the switch, since a lot of the polices go around with a bureaucrat discretion. Like updating the rules, and stuff that an admin can't do by him/herself unless if it was forgotten for a long time. But what happened was a bureaucrat discretion where it didn't follow a sentence of a rule. Yeah, it's a pointless sentence and no one other than myself and, maybe, the bureaucrats will recognize. Because it's a small wiki, and hardly anyone edits here other than 1/3 of the staff here.

But it was a bureaucrat discretion to do what I am proposing here. Does it make right that it wasn't in the rules? Maybe. Maybe we can have more productivity. Maybe the user would demote himself, and it depends on if it causes drama or not. I'm not saying that it's not a bad thing to what I am proposing here, but with the stuff you said and what I said it's not a good thing. It's to avoid that confusion, or that teensy weensy policy break on a policy that no regular user other than staff members should care about (which possibly most don't know anyways).
