User blog:LordJumpy/My opinions on the wiki.

(Note; I put a lot of work into this. It may seem like a troll blog, but it is just my opinions on the wiki. And I have named no user in this blog. :P)

Hallloooooozzzzzzzz........

I'm deciding to accept the title of Troll. As I can now speak without being accused of being a troll (as I am one now, apparently), I can also speak without fear of my reputation being pushed into the dirt. And so now, I will share the amazing ramblings of thy skuliness on the wiki;

Now, at a first look, we look like a group of squabbling, accusing, trolling, religous-debating, grudging morons who can be enraged by book reviews and set against each other by the act of trying to go to a new site.

After taking a second glance and spending time with the community, I can safely say we are not much more than that. :D

Now, for my humble and respectful reviews on the different aspects of the wiki....

Editing:
Yes, we all love editing. Or not. Well, some people do, and they do all the editing. As a test, I've always wanted someone to remove badges and see if everyone keeps editing, cos there does seem to be a certain aspect of wanting badges. I mean, we've got users who remove a period, publish, and add it again to just get a badge. I wonder what would happen if we removed them? Would we stop getting silly edits? :P

And then I think; wait a minute, if these people (Note; other words were tried and each was deemed disrespectful, insulting, or appropriate for 6-year-olds but not for this community.) want to waste their lives spamming up a WIKI about an ONLINE FORUM FOR a kids toy, why can't they? I find them sad. But what I find sadder is the response. When you have TEENS complaining that people are spam editing a wiki for a kids toy and that they should be stopped/banned, I just wonder for a while about what the brick is going on. I mean, when you have users worried they might lose their edit count when going to the new wiki, and these people are older than 15.... Well, maybe this is just me but it sounds twisted. :P

Chat:
Now, I would like to break this into parts.... :P

Chat Mods:

Well, if there is nothing more fuffilling than knowing you have been promoted to the rank of chat moderator on a wiki for a forum for a kids toy, then you need to re-think your life. And the treatment they recieve...I mean, the second you become a CM you instantly have the right to ban someone if they disrespect you. Now, maybe this is just me, but you can have CMs disrespecting you, and when you do a thing back, its a ban. I've recieved death threats from CMs, and PMs with extremely rude messages involving blocked out words. Aren't they supposed to be better than that?

Now, I'm sure most do their job. But I've had a situation where I've broken multiple rules and the CM refuses to ban me BECAUSE I WANT THE BAN. I mean, thats actually pretty strange when you think about it; you've broken all the rules, and they should ban you, but they don't because they don't want you to have the satisfaction of being banned.

Rules:

Ah, the much contradicted/broken/argued about rules. Well, I think Ill share my opinion on each:

1. Ah, common sense. The problem with it is that it ain't common. What seems like the most obvious thing to do to one person may seem like the last thing another person would do. Aren't all people worth the same? So why should someone's common sense be worth more than someone else? Well, it shouldn't be, but with a click of a button (Promote to Chat Moderator) someone's opinion on something to do becomes worth more than another person. Alas, alas....

1.1. Once again. Bad language to one person isn't to someone else.

1.2. Ah, bullying to one person is playful to someone else. And as everyone on the wiki seems to be able to make a huge deal about of being called "stupid" jokily, I suppose what counts as bullying is very low standard...

1.3. Meh, I don't really care about this rule. It's asterized, so your not actually swearing...

1.4. They aren't, even by the CMs, if no one notices. The main one is "Freedom of speech.."

1.5. And yet people do...and it is their decision to do so. If someone wants to be stupid enough to share it, then they can; Sharing someone else's does deserve a ban though. But once you've shared it...it's shared. And what actually counts as sharing it is always different to everyone.


 * SKIPPING NOW.*

1.7. Ah, the no religion or politics rule. So pointless for so many reasons. The funny thing is, religious people here here attack and won't stop if you say anything about their religion. One religious user was screaming at me for five minutes after I stopped, and I was being perfectly calm about it. I didn't say anything offensive back. And yet its me who was warned for trolling; because not being offended and raging back is TOTALLY trolling.

1.9. My favorite!!! :P ", and discuss it with them calmly if you disagree." Which I have done multiple times. The Cs just ban you if you try and discuss. :P

Rambling:

I love how no one will ever forgive and forget. I apologized for everything I had done, and although accepting it, people constantly told everyone that I was just joking and I would become a troll again. To please those people, I decided to let them be right. However, all they've done is request I get a permaban. Alas, alas.

Ummmm....I don't think theres much more for me to share... :P Just, y'know...thats it...
