First of all, this: "The list would be continuely updated by community votes"

just kill me now

please

guys I'm done, I really am

We've lived in this world before, and for TWO WHOLE BEAUTIFUL MONTHS we got a break from it and you already want to start it up again. This is a blocked words list that people will inevitably take much too seriously, only with three more categories to worry about. I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF. Can it really be true?

How will this ensure "harmony and content" on this wiki? If you all wanted to live harmoniously this whole time maybe, just maybe (oh cherish the thought) maybe if people would TRUST the chat moderators we have without CONTESTING every frikken thing and, if they do have a problem with the way a moderator is acting, actually take steps to get that person reviewed and possibly demoted and maybe if we all lightened up and said "hey man, we cool" instead of holding grudges and fearing demotion over doing our jobs and being pissed of and edgy and maybe if your roaring teenaged hormones took a step back and realized this is a COMMUNITY and you won't always get your way but you will still have fun thEN MAYBE WE WOULDN'T NEED THIS AT ALL

The truth is I don't think a lot of you really want to live here harmoniously if it means giving up your rights. If it means holding that thought because it's not that nice or helpful and it might offend someone. If it means communicating within the boundaries on a certain site. You can't get something as cool and amazing as a sense of community without giving something up in return.

Personally, I don't think this wiki is going to live past 2017. We've had a long run, and now the MBs are dying and we're dying right along with them. PLEASE please PLEASE pleASE PLEASE, let's not end this all with a flurry of toxic and meaningless community votes built on a absolute lack of trust in our fellow members. Just, no. I don't know how much of this was in complete rational thought judging from the tone, but I cannot simply trust the admin/cm team. They are just too inconsistent, (which is what this is for, consistency) and I'm not the only one here who thinks that. I can speak confidently for other users like Keplers, Sat, Brick, Rome, and I can suspect anyone who voted A without just saying "why not" as their reasoning all feel the same. We're not trying to gain leverage, influence, whatever, we just want to know where the boundaries are. Once we know exactly what you all want from us, then we may all be less hamfisted together.
