No, I wouldn't say that's the job of a bureaucrat. In general, there is no job of a bcrat. It's just a rights thing. There could theoretically be 1000 bcrats on one wiki and it wouldn't matter.

Jamie made me a bcrat here (and not on DC) so that I could handle promotions of regular users to administrators, and more easily perform tasks associated with bots.

In my experience, the admins, as a group, decide what content is and isn't allowed on a wiki. It's certainly not the position of either the founder or the bcrat(s) to dictate content alone, in my opinion.

Also, bcrats and founders don't really have the power to demote due to a flaw in the system. Having an admin made into a non-admin is a difficult and lengthy process which requires getting Wikia themselves involved. (Or at least it did at least a year ago).

Admins tell users they can't add content all the time. From extremes like Pornography to grey areas like fan art, there's potentially thousands of reasons content shouldn't be included.

All that being said, I am not a bureaucrat on the DC side, and I do not have the right to tell them what they're doing is right or wrong. As an admin there, I feel I may have a vote in deciding if certain content should be allowed, but I would likely feel the same way as I do here, indifferent as long as it's less than 5-6 pages (like a preview).

I understand that some of what I'm saying may be difficult to read, and I am sincerely sorry if your feelings are hurt by any of it. I assure you, that's not my intention. All I'm trying to express to you is that you two guys are responsible adults or you wouldn't be administrators. You should be able to work this out yourselves, and if you can't, it really doesn't matter in the large scheme of things if the content is included or not.

Hope that helps, at least a little.
