The Wiki Civil War

The Fourth Wiki Civil War is an ongoing conflict started via a successful attempt to demote RealKnockout. This attempt was started by ZackRON00 and supported by major discord suggestors and Discordians including RabbyDevs, Wobscal, TheRichSeries, and nearly all Discord staff. This attempt was supported by nearly all notable wiki people as well. This civil war marks the first time Wikians and Discordians united to overthrow a bureaucrat.

Request by Zack
On May 5, Zack (The username Zack refers to the wiki bureaucrat ZackRON00) and others requested RealKnockout (RK) to step down to content moderator. This was a shock to RealKnockout? Why? Historians state that Zack and RK (RK is how RealKnockout is commonly referred to) were previously on good terms, both being Muslims and having agreeable personalities. It has still not been uncovered how and why Zack decided to lead this attempt. It is likely that this was undertaken with previous planning, as a demotion attempt out of nowhere seems unlikely.

According to Zack, RK had failed to implement many reforms to the wiki (which were listed on the official discord server), had a controversial past, and did nothing for the wiki since the last bureaucratic war. RK denies these as real reasons, and says that it was likely a demotion attempt out of nowhere. Zack made a discussion post to the community to discuss this and see the arguments for and against him. A theory as to why the wiki people finally turned on RK might be frustration from the past 2 conflicts boiling over into rebellion. The main points by Zack were that RK had a controversial history, failed to implement wiki reforms requested since 2020 (without specifically naming which reforms), did nothing for the wiki, and was hated by most of the community (there are more points on RK's profile page).

The post was immediately endorsed by prominent discord people and official Discord staff. Then an argument started The main points by Zack were that RK had a controversial history, failed to implement wiki reforms requested, did nothing for the wiki since the last war, and was hated by most of the community including the game's HOS. RealKnockout attempted to argue that RK had done some reforms, and made "hundreds" of edits since his last coup, but was soon overpowered, because of popular support.

Once it seemed that support for his side was secure, Zack made a discussion poll, so people could vote on RK's demotion.

The Mass Promotion
What followed was a move by RK which almost all historians consider to be his greatest mistake in this civil war. RK, realizing he was in real danger of demotion, immediately promoted many prominent editors to the rank of bureaucrat, namely TheSeal27, Safwaan.R, JHRacer, Frozenspear, fried water, Jutm_n, and RabbyDevs were all promoted to bureaucrat. He claimed he was instituting "direct democracy". However, most members of The Establishment (the nickname which refers to Zack and his supporters) disagreed and claimed he admin abused. This action formed the basis of all future arguments against him. It is assumed he did this action to regain bureaucrat later. However, all of the promoted users quickly demoted themselves.

Meanwhile, RK also demoted many people who "posted Zack propaganda" in the wiki discord server. All people that spoke against RK were demoted banned. This caused a massive outcry among many. However, it was proven a few days later that at he still remained faithful to his liberal ban policies for which he had been personally reprimanded by fried water. On 5/24/2021, he unbanned every user that had ever been banned on the server. The most probable cause was to unban those banned during his crackdown on dissent while unbanning those banned under the harsher policies of the official server as well.
