DISCLAIMER: I'm sorry to say that this post is not going to be funny or hilarious at all. It's about me getting betrayed, so you can skip it if you want, because no part of this is supposed to be funny. Understood? Good. I now return you to your (somewhat) regularly scheduled post.

I've been on Fandom for a while, and I've been an administrator on the Birdstories Wiki ever since 2023. Birdstories, an unsuccessful, unpublished book series by me, was an amazing book series about my chickens and ducks going on adventures.
This new person posted to my message wall, asking to be an admin of the wiki. I said yes, because we did need more people on there. So, I gave them the admin rights.
They did about a hundred edits and improved the interface vastly. One day, I noticed my account was blocked globally!
I quickly sent an e-mail to Fandom Support asking what the whole ordeal was. Botan, one of the agents, replied saying that it was the same reason as my previous account was banned. I gasped. How did they know?

About a month later, I checked out the wiki again. It seemed fine. I checked out the new admin's activity and contribs.
---
But the profile page brought me to tears:
I'm sorry for what happened.
I never expected Marci to get g-blocked. Now that Whalie shows no sign of activity, this wiki is probably doomed.
My actions were in good faith. When I found out [removed for privacy reasons], I took the best course of action and reported Marci.
I should have done it a different way.
I should have just kept quiet. But no, I've just ruined it all.
I'm so sorry everyone.
To Marci, to Whalie, to all the users here.
I never expected this to happen.
I really never did.
*note: I (Marci) have changed some of the names and removed some details in here for privacy reasons. Thanks for understanding.

What?
What just happened?
I checked out the contribs more carefully, and then I saw an announcement in the bottom left corner of the screen. Something was definitely wrong. I mean, look at this wreck:
They just came in, worked for a bit, then dropped a bomb and ruined the whole site. It was the most cruel, betraying act I had ever seen. All my hard work-- shut down. They were aware they trashed it all, but they just did it anyways, and it really just shocked me. I got this admin so the wiki could be helped, not hurt.
I guess I'm just going to say goodbye...
