Just leave

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua

Edit wars are too rare a sight here to have policies such as 3RR/1RR in place. We also don't have "topics" that cover typical user activity where conflicts arise. I wish there were a mute option while blocking where user would only be forbidden to edit some or all discussion pages, with other edits unhindered. Plus, most of the established users here are or become admins sooner or later, so we'd have to elect an ArbCom first whose decisions would everyone be bound to respect. But it's all probably too much of a trouble, with questionable net benefit.

In regard to your comments:

  1. There's probably been enough edit-warring by CodeCat to justify 3RR
  2. There's a term for the mute button. It's called topic or interaction ban
  3. I've been here for years and I don't have a mop why?

Adminship isn't something like a free trip that you can receive as soon as you amass enough frequent-flyer miles. You have to have a good understanding of Wiktionary's rules & practices, and the right temperament- of which you have neither.

"Mute" is doable. As for forming an ArbCom, I doubt it could even be possible (given that most regulars either get deeply involved in heated disputes, or avoid all drama entirely; which leaves no "neutral" party willing and able to arbitrate), let alone help much. ArbCom is kind of a joke even on TOW.

But I am afraid that this thread is not the best place to discuss it.
