Correct me if I'm wrong (please!
). I'm confused too. Too much on my plate right now...
The way I see it:
- The vote to choose Eru's replacement started on Feb 4, and was supposed to run for 10 days. Therefore, the new admin will start on Feb 14, which is also the day Eru will stop being an admin.
That's the "official" procedure as I understand it; as I said, I might be wrong (knowing my history, I probably am
).
HOWEVER... last weekend there were a number of new people coming in, Squiddy was asking tech questions that I didn't know how to answer, Din was in a hurry to be de-admined and I deleted his permissions by accident, Eru and Griff were away and I wasn't on the computer. I panicked and since I was talking to Ro at the moment, and she was willing to have a go at the styles thing, I decided to give her emergency admin powers, thinking that I'd do the same for Estel, but giving a few hours advance warning in case anyone objected (for instance, Estel herself saying "sorry, I can't do it right now").
As it was, Leoba posted that it would be better to wait until the end of the voting deadline, so I deferred the decision to admin Estel until it would be "official". Moreover, Eru and Griff came back, so my reasons for panicking disappeared.
And since we now have the "experiment" board, there seems to be no reason for Ro to keep those emergency admin powers.
So, with her permission, I will remove them (being careful not to screw her permissions up like I did to Din's
).
All clear? If not, post or PM me!
