Innuendo isn't allowed, flame wars aren't allowed and if anything are the fault of the users engaging in them (I haven't seen any in a while anyway because mods are keen to stop discussions even before they get flamy), word alts are allowed because policing them is overreach.

Okay, how are they going to bite LMBW in its back, then? There's been a lot of rabble-rousing and rapture-esque talk recently concerning LMBW and the changes it and its community have undergone in the past year or two but I can't see what exactly you guys are foretelling to be the big doom of this wiki. If anything, I can see bitter arguing over things as silly as the changes made to a wiki about a message boards about a children's plaything bringing this place down. Is that the goal here? Because the goal to bring this place back to where it was three-four years ago is never going to happen, because more than half of this wiki is all for the leadership and policy changes (which really haven't been anything that major), and the only people attacking these changes and advocating for the olden days are users from those days (hey, look, I'm one of them too) that are at disease seeing this place undergo change. The only reason I've heard (that is to say, actually voiced) that's used for legitimizing these efforts is that this place "isn't reflecting the LMBs". Would you rather reflect the demographic of a website separate from us, or reflect the demographic of, well, the people actually on this site? Because only about half or less of the active users here actually go on the LMBs. Community votes here have shown that the majority of people here want the recent policy changes. Yet...it's just this enclave of ex-admins or admins who reigned primarily during the beginning stages of this wiki that want this place to return to those beginning stages.

That seems a little fishy, and it honestly makes me wonder if it's actual concern for this place's synergy with the LMB's rules and guidelines, or if it's fundamental opposition toward any of the progressive measures taken here as of late that is so...seemingly threatening to you guys. I have a feeling personal convictions are guiding you guys more than anything. That is problematic, as it should be the will of the community here that guides the admins. I haven't seen that as of late with these blogs and commentaries.

Anyway, I've debated longer than I should've. :p I don't really want to get tangled in this drama, as it's getting tiring and not at all productive.
