The Bureaucrat Curse

OK so, so far all the bureaucrats we've had haven't had the best endings. I'm here to discuss the "curse" of being bureaucrat on the Big Nate COMMENTS Wiki.

The Start of the Curse - TrapperClicker
As most of you know TrapperClicker was the maker of this wiki. When TrapperClicker started the wiki it was mostly a base for Anti-Pollers. TrapperClicker started out as a nice dude and made some edits and promoted Gollum and BiggerNate91. But he started having some doubts about the Wiki and even thought about abandoning it. He was very inactive at the end of his reign, but he popped in once in a while to respond to some messages on his message wall and comment on some pages. Towards the end of his reign, he pretended to get hacked and posted Lucario Porn on the wiki and vandalized the home page. And then he either got terminated or he deleted his account. Not one of the best exits for the creator of the wiki. He was bureaucrat for 792 days.



The Curse Continues - BiggerNate91
So BN91 was probably hit the least with the curse. He was and is one of the most respected commenters in the history of the BNCS. Most of the time when he was bureaucrat he was pretty active. But then, after the summer he started becoming less and less active (presumably because of school). There were a couple of decisions the wiki needed him to make, such as Pig Lover's run for admin and 7o'clock's demotion. Except he never really made those decisions which caused wiki users to start a strike against BN91. It seems as if BN91 was already thinking about leaving the wiki because a little after the strike happened he made a post saying he was leaving the wiki by the end of the weekend and to find another bureaucrat. Well as we all know it was PET vs. Swasimcool and the rest of it is history. He didn’t have the worst ending out of all the bureaucrats though. He was bureaucrat for 156 days.

The Curse Shows No Mercy - Positive Elixir Trade
Following BiggerNate91's leaving an OG user named Positive Elixir Trade. It looked as if the curse would miss PET as he was one of the most liked users in the history of the wiki. Even his enemies respected him. He did CSS for the wiki and more. But then 3 users found something out about PET. They claimed he had botted the bureaucrat poll with 8 alts. They checked with FANDOM and FANDOM said all 8 accounts were linked to PET. A big fight broke out and most users sided with PET while others helped the 3 users protest against PET. Tensions were rising on both sides and polls were made about whether PET should be demoted. Then the next day PET made a post saying he was leaving the wiki and he was gonna delete everything he did for the wiki. This wasn't well-received by users. PET is still checking the wiki now but most of it is for arguing with PigLover. Overall, PET was hit hard by the curse. He was bureaucrat for 143 days.

The Curse is Over? - Swasimcool
So far in Swasimcool's time being bureaucrat nothing has happened to show that the curse is still around. But as in all of the bureaucrats, everything looked fine until the very end. Eventually, Swasimcool stepped down as bureaucrat.

The Curse Is Real? - ZachOWott
ZachOWott was seen positively for his first few days until after friendship bias claims and unrest occurred in wiki, which eventually led to his downfall and he resigned after a month of being bureaucrat.

The Curse Has Evolved - Ak-Elfs
Ak seemed like the new hope of the dying wiki, the young hero who will fix everything, and while he did accomplish that, Zach's revival of the curse was dangerous. Ak started his Bureaucracy by implementing a successful election layout, which was experienced with in the February Lssj8521 vs Wooden Board Mod Election.

Unfortunately for Ak-Elfs, the curse evolved. It was no longer a cruel process to rally the users against the Bureaucrat, but a rather harsh and hasty strike when Ak-Elfs decided to declare toxicity against Arcane YT, who was controversial in his handling of his Minecraft Server, on Pig Lover's (General Kenobi), the Wiki advisor as of that time, server about his ROBLOX game. Both Ak-Elfs and Arcane was punished, with Arcane even losing moderation powers on the server, and Ak retaliated by firing Pig Lover from the staff chat. After this, Ak-Elfs declared his leave with a short "Bye". Nevertheless, Ak-Elfs claims, with backup of the staff, that he has been considering the leave for an extended period of time and left the role of Bureaucrat to former Bureaucrat and current Admin, Swasimcool.

Swasimcool has declined his offer, and the Bureaucracy, and potentially along with the curse has been passed to two successors.

The Curse Has Doubled - ComicCreators (ZisBetter) & Henry Hudson
After Ak-Elf's sudden departure, and Swasimcool's refusal to accept the Bureaucracy, ComicCreators and later, Henry Hudson were both named temporary Bureaucrats in order to avoid a situation similar to Ak-Elf's ending.

The Curse Finds CC
CC after being a prominent user for a long time suddenly leaves the wiki after crat was too much for him. Henry does remain though. CC terminated his account on May 10, 2021.
