It saddens me to write this, as I consider User:LurkSAR to be a great friend, and the impact he has had on our community cannot be denied &mdash; he's one of the longest serving administrators we've ever had, and a great person in general. He was a founding member of the MicroWiki Republican Army, the group that resurrected "MicroWikia" from the dead &mdash; but it has to be done.

Quite a while ago, User:LurkSAR retired and migrated to the MicroWiki community owned by User:Austenasia, and attempted to appoint the aforementioned user, in his own words, to "...help run [this] site instead of me", without consulting any other administrator, or holding a community vote. Though he claimed to have retired, he'd seemingly forgot to remove his administrator rights, which is standard procedure. Taking this into account, I asked him privately on Facebook if he'd remove kindly his user-rights &mdash; but he refused.

As the MicroWiki hosted here on the Wikia farm, and the MicroWiki privately owned by User:Austenasia are two separate, independent, but often competing identities, I feel it would be inappropriate for User:LurkSAR to hold user rights on both, as it could be seen as a conflict of interest.

If you are an active contributor here and are in support of the removal of User:LurkSAR's user rights, say "SUPPORT" in the comments &mdash; or if you oppose, say "OPPOSE" (with a reasoning, if you could).

Thank you for voting.
