I like to start a survey on who is the worst Wikipedian admin.

I will start the list with my good friend

Gamaliel (T-C-L-K-R-D) , as well as Ryulong (T-C-L-K-R-D)

This should a list of the bad actors of Wikipedia. The world should
know their names.

For me at the moment it is TenofallTrades - a truly miserable all-round git, and FencesandWindows - just a typical helpyourbuddy/maimtheeditor/refusetoaknowledgehim git - but a particularly obnoxious example.

Stifle always seems to pop up being unimpressive.

Admin are so bad at the moment this thread could really inflate. Some may have good points - but who cares? I honestly don't think the system will last the year. Something's got to give.

Compared to four or five years ago, the system works beautifully and admins are acting like veritable saints. There is a sense of rules, fairness, and responsibility that simply did not exist several years ago, around the time this forum was set up. Abusive admins actually feel community pressure now, and the ArbCom will actually take action now. Yeah, TenOfAllTrades is obnoxious--but is he abusive?

According to his talk page, Chillum is now retired after yet another round of hilarity with a good content/lousy civility editor.

Not even a lousy civility editor. I know "KD Tries again" in real life (from about 25 years ago). He is one of the most consistently polite human beings I have met. He was simply complaining, in his polite way, about Chillum deleting a message from his talk page.

I suppose at this point it would be fun to mess with Chillum's own TALK page, on the grounds that he doesn't own it, either. But that's what WP:POINT is for--- it's to keep Wickipaedos from facing the consequences of their own attitudes and policies. The place would completely implode if the same rules applied to everybody there.

Posting it here doesn't mean as much as posting it on AN/I.
No one has reported him for abuse lately.
