Blog:My First Goodbye

I have been pondering this decision for a few days now, but recent talk on the QP Discord server has led me to come to this decision entirely. Because frankly I have lost a lot of hope with Qualitipedia in its current state.

I have brought you all here tonight because I am announcing my retirement from Qualitipedia. Yes, I know that I am breaking a promise I made months ago that I would never leave QP by creating this blog, but frankly promises are uncertain and often unrealistic predictions of the future. Because my frustrations with this network are honestly through the roof at this point and I don't care if I insult anyone in this blog or not, because frankly everyone needs to be called out here.

I am sick of Qualitipedia because of two fundamental flaws, flaws that can honestly either never be fixed at all or can be but takes way to much time and effort to do for something that's not even worth it in the end, especially with the current structure. The first flaw I am going to be quite blunt addressing and I don't even care if a couple of users quit upon reading this but it needs to be said.

1) The wikis are infested with people who have the mental capacity of children. And I'm not exaggerating when I say 80% of Qualitipedia's userbase are full of pure children who whine about everything somebody else does on the network. There's a reason so many people dislike the userbase of these wikis and it's because of how horrible the people we have here are. It's not even a moderation issue either, many of these children whine incessantly about the littlest things to no end without really breaking any rules and it honestly infuriates me to no end. Even some of the staff (well, former staff is more appropriate) were rather immature and I'm honestly surprised why we had people like them helping run the wikis. As much as I would love to point fingers at people and say their names, I won't because while you're probably so blind you don't even know who you are, I'll only create more drama than what we already have. And it's a shame because 20% of the network are rather decent folk but are nowhere near enough to save QP from the atrocity known as its userbase. Gosh I feel stupid for even having to tell you people this directly but no one has listened and the fact that these children never listen sickens me to my core. The only way I can see QP ever surviving is if at that 80% just got lost.

2) Qualitipedia cannot survive with the structure that is in place. As surprising as this may sound, the political stuff, TV show wikis, and not even the userbase are what is Qualitipedia's biggest issue, although those certainly account to why these wikis are absolutely terrible in the first place. No no, the main reason why QP is failing is because the fundamental structure of the wiki and how it is put in place is unsalvageable. The largest of these is the binary structure. Having a positive/negative wiki pair for each piece of media is not only problematic, it's ripe for drama. One of the biggest issues on QP have been the irrational arguments some of these children have with each other about what should go on which wiki when having them all in one place could repair that so, so easily. But frankly it can't be done, but that's only one of the network's issues and I could go on and on about them. No coherent vision for what will quote "fix the wikis" when such a thing can never be feasibly done, a lack of staff competency when it comes to putting things in action to the point where so little of us actually do our jobs, the TV show wikis, a lack of proper competency from the leaders, lack of communication between staff, poor management of what wikis should and shouldn't be here, and so, so many other tings contribute to the fact that QP is so structurally unstable that nothing is getting "fixed", but rather the place gets bandaged so much that it's going to collapse on the weight of its own so called repairs.

And that is why I must leave for now. I mentioned that this will be my first goodbye. I have a project in the works that will hopefully actually manage to do something, but it won't be for the sake of the network, and I intend to reveal it only to the 20% of the network that isn't complete man children when it's complete, and hope current Qualitipedia crashes and burns when it does get finished.

Thank you and good night.
