This is probably the first time the LMBW Admin team has a made a change that has dissapointed me so much. I know your intentions are good, and from the outside this looks like a perfect course of action. But even though it's temporary, have you really looked at what it is you're doing?

The changed treatment PM's is outlandish. "any other abuse of the private messaging system will be treated as though it happened in public chat." They are called Private Messages by the default Wikia system for a reason. Just because there's something I'd rather discuss with one or two particular people as opposed to the entire chat does not mean Im engaging in illicit activities. Same concept applies to IRL as well. And in the case of giving out bad links in PM, I don't know how you would enforce or punish that. Because both parties would be equally to blame. Everyone is responsible for the links (or jokes) they request from others.

"if someone says “Hey, this is getting out of hand, let’s continue it at my test wiki”, then that user is responsible for everything that is said on his or her test wiki". Really? You guys all know me. You know myself and others often bring religious debates over to my CLFW. Why is there anything wrong with that?? We are sparing the LMBW from probably long and heated conflict. But that doesn't mean that I'm causing the conflict, does it? I think you should commend anyone who redirects unfortunate type conversations from LMBW to elsewhere.

There's actually wisdom in the "Anyone who’s on this site is supposed to be 13+ anyways. We’re not kids." type of comment. It is true. Anyone on the Wikia under 13 is not supposed to be here. We've already had to deal with that COPPA fiasco. You cannot keep attempting to child-proof something that was never meant to be child-proof. You say you want kids parents to be happy with them being here. Well quite a lot of these children are here without even their parents permission. So they are accountable for joining the wiki. The Admins cannot be blamed for that.
