User blog:Game Wolf/LMBW - Civil War

This whole swearing thing has divided the wiki and now has us not only questioning the kind of language we should allow here, but also has us questioning the governments for the wiki. Should it be a democracy, or should it be a dictatorship? With these conflicts arising the thought of a splinter-wiki has come about. Some support, some oppose. But I can tell you, from experience, splinter-wikis don't work. Abbypedia turned into a doctoral hellhole as some of the worst users here ended up as the administration for that wiki, and no newcomers were welcome. While I cannot say what the current state of Chnightat is, I can say that from what I saw the same people from Abbypedia ended up as moderators and I can assume ended up as crap as Abbypedia. Now I'm not saying a splinter-wiki is a bad idea, but it is. At first glance you think it's a great idea. The people who want one thing go to a place where they can have it. Okay, seems fair. But then the wrong people get admin, and everyone who used to use it goes back here and we end up right where we started. Now sure, maybe we could create one with an established government to prevent the crapstorm that happened on those other wikis, but even that has problems. It will split the wiki, reducing activity on both end. And when a chat isn't active, guess what happens? It dies. Creating a splinter-wiki will kill the main wiki along with the splinter wiki. This wiki is a community wiki. And as a community wiki, we need to respect the wishes of that community. And by making a splinter-wiki that would be saying to the community members who want differently than you, that you don't think they should be here. And that is unacceptable. We cannot just tell users to go to another place just because A minority' would be offended. Splinter-wikis are not good for the community and will only tear it apart more.
