In regards to the vandalism problem, I definitely share your sentiments. However, we musn't lost heart! I think this link will serve its purpose very well: An example of how another Admin deals with problems.

No matter how difficult it is, I think we should embrace the mistakes and try to develop upon the mistakes people have made. Although we all do things differently, some of us are just ignorant of how our actions affect the Wiki, leading to people adding unnecessary things. I think this is forgiveable, and that we can still fix it. What we can't fix, however, would be personal attacks made by users (like last time, hence why I got so angry). We can correct each other's mistake when it comes to the Wiki, but not controlling your anger right (that can be said to me as well) is personal and can't be corrected.

The point is that I wouldn't want you and Simmia to become the kind of admin as seen in the link. If you guys get hardened by the constant destructive edits made by users, it'll kind of ruin your mentality too. That other admin isn't too bad when it comes to users that have made contribution properly, which is expected. However, ruling with an iron fist will hurt yourself and not others. It changes the way you deal with things and you will become aggressive as a result. As you two are not like that, I really liked having you guys as Admins (even though I initially had a bad impression because BeachSideRage was quite confrontational when he tries to fix things).

There is also the Admin of a popular Anime site called "Anilinkz" called CM. He is also the owner of the site and can ban anyone he wants to. Like every other Admin, he got tired of dealing with people not following the rules and eventually started banning anyone he doesn't like. He actually goes around insulting people if they break the rules or just generally respond with a bad attitude. Sometimes people are discussing about controversial topics and he joins in. The thing is that if you don't agree with him, he is going to publicly show how much smarter and older than you, then proceeding to ban you forever from his site. I guess this is similar to the BeachSideRage incident, just that this would probably be what happens if he has the right to ban Admins.

For me, I just find that it feels...eerie and wrong. I'm just bringing this up now so that you won't get discouraged from all those bad edits (since there are so many examples of how Admins act once they give up and start banning people a lot more). Don't try to put too much burden on your shoulders, as the responsibility of an Admin is also shared by the other users. What you have problem doing, you can share it with others. There are things only you can do, but there are also things you can do with others. So don't let those edits get to you! It'll always be like that, but we can definitely minimize the damage even without being confrontational. How we deal with things is the truest reflection of what personality we have.

P.S. I found you on G+ now and I have added you. We can chat there sometimes.
