The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

In the past few months, I consistently got signals that some users do not trust me as administrator. It was particularly prominent yesterday, when an ANI topic was speedy closed with a consensus that it is ok to tell me that I do not know what I am talking about, and when later an admin wrote in a casual conversation (not with me) that I must be "shown the door". In this situation, given the absence of instruments which provide proper feedback to administrators, I do not feel I have sufficient community support to remain administrator. I am not yet sure what I will do - this is not a resignation under a cloud, so I can return and get the flag back, or I can go for a new RfA, but this is definitely not going to happen tomorrow. For the time being, I will be active in various areas of Wikimedia projects where nobody can say I am incompetent. Please, remove the flag. I have a global rollback, but I would like to keep pending changes reviewer and new page patroller. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-bureaucrat comment) It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that if every administrator who was occasionally told they didn't know what they are talking about immediately resigned, then we soon wouldn't have any left-! >SerialNumber54129^{...speculates} 12:04, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done with thanks for your service. You may of course always run for RfA again (barring an ArbCom restriction in the future); determination of "clouds" is done at such time as you would request re-flagging here. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:31, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
