Caulde: Yet another admin retirement Options

[Willking1979]

Another day, another admin retirement: Caulde has retired. Here is the Spanish-language message:

"Diría adiós por ahora - podría volver en el futuro. Con la mayor consideración, Caulde."

Here is an English translation:

"I'm going to say goodbye for now, but may return in the future. With the most consideration, Caulde."

Based on a discussion on IRC, this makes the 10th time Caulde's retired. Interestingly, this entry appears in the block log:

11:39, March 8, 2009 Caulde (talk | contribs) blocked Caulde (talk | contribs) (cannot edit own talk page) with an expiry time of indefinite ‎ (To prevent myself from doing something I shouldn't do.)

Your thoughts???

I applaud anyone who sees the light and quits wasting their time at that place, but this Caulde (T-C-L-K-R-D) guy? What had he written? A look at his last 500 edits shows no evidence that this guy was creating content for readers.

These busy-bodies come and go and are part of the problem.

Says it all, really. Stop giving them attention.

Onnaghar/Rudget/Caulde/God knows what else is only twelve or thirteen, IIRC. (Edit: Aitias, another morally bankrupt child, is already on the talkpage pining for him. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif))

Met him once, inconsistent behaviour, won't really miss him.

(numbers) Not quite as bad as Essjay, to be fair.

Caulde has contributed to a handful of featured/good articles, but he's retired before. This is nothing new.

No great loss.

Ah. He fell into the Malleus wheelwar pit and got tarred and feathered.

Maybe the little shit is getting in some practice for the real (world) thing. When he's 64, or whenever it is, he'll retire, then start working again, and so on. Stretch it out till he's a hundred.

Aitias, another morally bankrupt child, is already on the talkpage pining for him. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif)

"...don't leave, Caulde. You're such an outstanding admin and great user. Please stay. Please. I'd miss you incredibly badly". Brings a tear to the eye.

In view of his latest stupidity, I think his name should be Malleus Fatuous.

DDStretch, the admin who unblocked Malleus, is threatening to give back his mop. No great loss there, either.

Typical addictive recovery behavior. Like pouring all your liquor down the sink so you won't be tempted into drinking. Makes it JUST a little harder to backslide. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Aitias, another morally bankrupt child, is already on the talkpage pining for him. :lol:

"...don't leave, Caulde. You're such an outstanding admin and great user. Please stay. Please. I'd miss you incredibly badly". Brings a tear to the eye.

More to the point, if Aitias thinks that of him, it is almost a guarantee that he was/will return to be a useless admin.

Eight percent of Essjay's edits were to actual articles? Eight? For crying out loud, and this guy was on Jimbo's fast track? You've got to be kidding me.

Caulde's article edits were at 20%. Much better.

I think there's actually a rule against self-blocking.

Anyone under something like 50% actual content (be it articles or templates or whatever) is primarily wasting time and playing games, not contributing to "the sum of human knowledge".

Even perennial talk-page gadfly Dtobias hits almost 60%. Whereas JzG scrapes 28%.

Nothing like a bunch of child admins acting like stupid children to perpetuate the view that children suck as admins. Brilliant idea, prodding the guy that hates such admins while he's blocked. Just awesome.

That's a shame. I've always thought so highly of you. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif)

Looks like Caulde reads WR. From the protection log:

11:56, March 9, 2009 Caulde (talk | contribs) protected User talk:Caulde [create=sysop] (indefinite) ‎ (Don't intend to return, I've lost interest in this shithole and the pricks (cue Malleus) on it; and, WR, this isn't the 10th time I've retired.) (hist)

[Malleus]

So it's not all bad news then .
