User:PoseidonHeir/AltHistory6

Jordan Baumann, known on the wiki as JoeJoeTheAnimator, was a user who used to be a bureaucrat. I say "used to be" because his corrupt actions and general idiocy caused him to be banished from the wiki permanently. Of course, we know he must have at least one alt still on here without us knowing, for he has tons, some of which we're just finding recently. But whether he still watches what happens on this wiki, is unknown.

Essentially, Jordan used to be a decent user, before he adopted it and rose to power. He made some unfair laws, and pages that didn't relate to the wiki. It was painful for people to convince him to stop, but even after he did, he kept doing unfair things. In February, he screwed with the elections by voting for himself with alts (luckily he didn't win).

He also deleted the USoT, wrote lies about the good bureaucrats on other wikis, and generally screwed with the wiki to the point where people had enough and forced him out. He would keep spreading lies about the good bureaucrats on Miraheze for a while, but now he's pretty much done.

But what if Jordan's tomfoolery never went down in the first place? What if he never joined the wiki?

Jordan joined during the mid-Vandal age, and like I said he was a decent user back then. He didn't really do much bad, or much at all back then, so the wiki wouldn't be changed that much. Moving on to beyond the Vandal ages, we come to the first interesting scenario that might be changed.

Jordan wouldn't have adopted the wiki in this scenario. In our timeline, when he did, he first blocked Omnipotent gangster's alt. He wouldn't be on the wiki to do that, but even though you might think this matters, another staff member would very likely block them anyway. The Omni-I.R.O.N.I.C truce was long over by now.

The first bad things Jordan did were making non-surreal pages, and this encouraged other users like him to do the same. Since Jordan wasn't around in this timeline, obviously this means non-surreal page spam would be to a much smaller level, or hardly exist at all. Jordan's crummy laws promoting it wouldn't be around, and instead there'd be anti-page spam laws made by trustworthy bureaucrats, if the problem ever arose anyway.

The wiki would be a lot more democratic too, because Jordan wouldn't be around to do his corrupt shenanigans, especially trying to rig the elections. RONALDTHEGOD allegedly supported Jordan when he first joined, since they both thought users should be able to make whatever pages they wanted. So, I'm pretty sure RONALDTHEGOD would be a lot less of a problem if he ever showed up at all. (RONALD later turned on Jordan after Jordan screwed with the elections, which went against RONALD's love for liberty.)

Another important thing to note is that relations with Miraheze would be nonexistent. The Miraheze users and the SMW united to stop Jordan's idiocy and spreading of blatant lies on Miraheze. Mar wouldn't become friends with the wiki, and because of that, neither would Portrock, Seanbuscus, or any other of his Miraheze friends.

Overall, the SMW would be a lot more surreal than it is in our timeline. However, nobody here would pay any attention to Miraheze as opposed to having friends from there today.
