User blog:Drew1200/Using the Message Walls

It appears to me that a bunch of people here have been saying they hate the Message Walls before even really figuring out what they do. Please just read this real quick while I explain some things. :)

Subscribing
On each thread, the post on someone's wall, not a reply, there will be a follow button in the top right corner. When that button is pressed, it will notify you when someone replies to that thread. That's why you get replies to other people's messages. If you don't want this, then just press the follow button, and you will be unsubscribed. You're automatically subscribed when you reply to a thread, and on your own talk page.

Removing bad comments
If someone is not following our policy, then anyone can remove their comment. Just press the "remove" button. This will still leave a note saying that you removed the message. Anyone can still see it by viewing the history. If it's bad enough that it needs to be deleted where no one can see it, check in the box "notify an admin". Then an admin will look at it and delete it if it's really bad.

I'll probably update this later with more, so check back!
