How is Wak a Super Admin?

I was made a super-admin along with Kevan a while back. Why?

...I’m just surprised that, after all that fuss about you becoming an admin in the first place, they trusted you to become a super-admin.

DC:  Wak has technical expertise, passion, and time.  We needed someone active to be a superadmin on the blog (note that he doesn’t have backend access).

I trust him to keep an eye on things without breaking them.  When you hold all the keys to the kingdom, you no longer need to break in.

Clucky: he/him

Why wasn’t this discussed on the blog? You don’t give a psycho killer the keys to your house so that you don’t need to worry about locking it. Only reason I’m not flipping out Kevan is that my respect for you runs further than my mistrust of Wak. I’ll trust your decision but still voice strong strong opposition. That and Blognomic still appears to be here, even if some of the players still don’t understand simple concepts like time.

Clucky, you haven’t been around in a while. You should observe for a bit before passing judgement.

Kevan: he/him

This wasn’t my decision - it was presumably that of 75th Trombone (who owns the server here) or Excalabur, or both. I support it, though.

Josh: Observer he/they

Wak’s been a super admin for a while and hasn’t broken anything. Whatever the rationale at the time, flipping out now seems counterproductive.

@Clucky: What I don’t understand is infinity, and how it even makes any sense at all for there to be “multiple infinities”.

HAHAHA Wak has technical expertise, hahahahaha he knows exactly what he has learned by trolling the internets. But he’s not interested in breaking anything so there is no problem.

redtara: they/them

I’ve no problem with it. He knows what he’s doing.

Klisz:

I don’t have a problem with it, I’m just surprised.

Clucky: he/him

Erm, if you actually noticed I pointed out that you haven’t killed blognmoic yet and that I was merely stating my disagreement with the deacision to do it behind our backs. I’m to lazy to actally argue or consider Waks merits.

Excalabur:

Clucky:  backend stuff is explicitly not gamestate.  There’s a reason for that.  FTP and shell access to the server is still restricted to, I believe, 75th trombone, myself, and Angry Grasshopper; this list would include Kevan if he hadn’t lost the password.

Qwaz: perhaps.  But trolling the internets for whatever takes time that I don’t have :).

Superadmin power gives one power over user accounts and modules, basically.

Klisz:

Excalabur: Why not give Kevan back the password?

Excalabur:

DC: he hasn’t given me a secure channel upon which to give it to him.
