I recently noticed the JS issue described in Thread:320007. During investigation I found the cause (you forgot a comma in the JS but forgot to resubmit it after fixing), and fixed it (by submitting your fix). I wanted to notify the community about it and found beforementioned thread, but I found it completely gone off-topic by a comment by Gorbag.

I'm not simply going to take immediate action myself since it's your wall, but I would have immediately removed all off-topic comments and complained to Gorbag about it. The thread was completely taken off-topic even though the original issue was still far from being solved.

About the promotion itself, Grievous did ask about it in the FB wiki chat. I stated my opinion (basically that Gorbag is nice but that there were a few complaints about him in the past). The other members of the chat (mostly FB mods since most other admins have gone inactive) supported Grievous.

Grievous should think of the non-FB admins and ask them as well before acting, but I see why he prefers to discuss things in the FB chat only. There is still no private group chat with all wiki admins and the Wikia chat is barely used beside lacking a group chat functionality, while message walls are completely public. A private chat allows to speak way more freely while in public areas anything we say could later be used against us. Even discussing a raw idea will often raise unrest in the community. We should all together try to find a good method of communication that works well for all users.
