User blog:LEGOSuperDKong/Underage Users Banned...

We know what happened.

Somehow Wikia got wind of underage users on this wiki, and in order to obey the law, they removed/blocked them.

So... what now?

First off, we can't fix the rules or anything like that. It's federal law, pretty much. We also can't remove the block from the users.

However, I have a feeling that the users will be back in a few months. This place is a lot of fun, and they will come back.

Now that this has happened, don't do anything rash. Some of you are leaving, but I really don't see how that helps anything. We want this wiki to be successful, right? How does leaving contribute to anything?

And don't hate on anyone. Sure, it hurts that some friends got banned, but they will be back, and we really can't pinpoint any blame on anyone. It's not Wii's fault that they joined without following the rules, and it's not their fault that Wikia had to implement those rules, and it's not Wikia's fault that they had to obey the law, and it's not the law's fault that young children are most easily targeted as victims by scammers and the like. So no, don't try to blame it on one person/party.

This would have happened inevitably. All we could have done is delay it. Maybe we should have delayed it. But anyway, what's done is done.

My point with this blog is, to cut to the chase, that we shouldn't freak out because of this. We shouldn't get super-depressed, or anything like that. We should continue as normal, having fun with the people who are here, because the other users will be back. I know so. :)
