I posted this thread before but no one noticed...

I have some thoughts about the rules that Spectercollector laid down. I tried to say this before, but no one really heard me. So...

1. You shouldn't ban people on a single offense, mainly for two reasons; one, the guy may be new to Wikia and may not be clear about the rules of the wiki. Two, you guys should assume good faith, as said on Community Central. A simple warning may get them to stop.

2. This is a general rule of thumb in wikis - to not let administrators abuse their powers. This doesn't just apply for that previous unfortunate situation, it also applies to them protecting a page over an edit war that they lost to and the like. Admins should also be dealt with if they break the rules.

3. You can't ban users for telling false information about themselves, for two reasons again; one, some people want Internet security, and if you're gonna want them to give real info about themselves, it just looks like a form of harassment and makes you guys look like stalkers, frankly. Two, this rule, if true, should be put on the Wikia Terms of Use, and it isn't there.
