Hi MicroWikians,

Recently a former administrator who was removed for their inactivity, by which the community vastly supported, minus those with objections such as appointing another administrator alongside me who would ensure balance in the wiki (which has been done almost immediately after with the promotion of user:Austenasia), has come and begun a discussion regarding allegations of an "explicit nature". These allegations were squashed, and I apologized to him because I thought he was just "snaking around" with a man who I saw as my own brother, and used deception tactics to see (how low indeed); I notice now he was also doing the same investigation regarding me, probably on Harry's behalf as revealed in our one-on-one discussion in a chat (but nevertheless that is irrelevant, maybe?). I admit to sending fake images from the internet in my investigation (another low, and quite disturbing even for me, but hey investigation), and being blocked the day after (as I contacted Harry to tell him all I have learned but he said it was 3 something in the morning). I thought I was right, and I assume he thought he was right as well. I suppose we see eye-to-eye with that incident now, but regarding the wiki matters, I have been asked to ease punishment on policy violators.

It was stated by him: "Personally, I want you to publicly apologise and admit your wrongdoings and the conflict of interest you had. You need to stop banning people who disagree with you, and falsely accusing people of personal attacks."

Responding to his statement toward me in our one-on-one discussion I do write this public apology because I should have never done the investigation, as my (former) brother Harry, is his own person, and my own distrust regarding only that issue should have been squashed with optimism. Wiki-matters were not related to this issue however; the professional scene is different from the personal scene. They seem to have only now become relevant on behalf of user:Sabovia. As stated, everything is (or was) in a professional setting here. The only conflict of interest held was outside of wiki-related matters, which most of you (considering or assuming most are minors) should not know, being in the matters of grown adults. Anyways, you know both sides now.

In all of my administration, I have not banned anyone who disagrees with me. I just am so policy-minded, you could call me a human bot. If you believe so, or if it has indeed come off as such, forgive me. After recommendation by one of the wiki's contributors, I am now relaxing punishments entirely starting today. There will also be less restriction, and less "bruteness" as some have regarded my actions.

As done before, I will be open to reasonable suggestions from the community regarding how we can improve here, and how administrative staff should be.
