removal of the bit (Valereee)
I'm in an ongoing IRL situation that makes me generally less available for admin work. I'd like to set down the tools for a while. Apologies for causing work for bureaucrats simply to make my own life less stressful.Valereee (talk)18:13, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No admin should feel a need to apologize for making decisions right for themselves. Pressing the buttons to switch up the mop is very easy, and in situations like this the hardest part about restoring is the waiting period. I post this not just for Valereee not to feel bad but for all admins to not worry about some kind of "burden" on the crats if they want to make this decision.

Thanks, BK49, I definitely didn't intend to imply people should feel bad about causing a pretty small amount of work for crats. :) I just know that eventually I'll likely be up for doing the work again, and I of course could just exercise discipline. Instead what seems to happen is that I tend to avoid WP when I feel...guilty?...about not doing 'my share' of adminning. In this case I put the mop down and immediately started creating content again, 2 new articles in the last two days. So win-win! :DValereee (talk)17:59, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Have been inactive for a while now and unfortunately probably won't be too active in the near future. Thanks team! —Dark05:23, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
