Okay, let's talk more about this.

(Note, some of this was also said on the other wiki involved.)

Okay, there are a couple of things I need to clarify.

We never ban because someone asks us to. We always check out the situation for ourselves. And Igor definitely does not have any special influence with staff, or any way to manipulate us. He is manipulating you by saying he does.

Drama from this wiki should not be allowed to spread to others. Going to another wiki to continue a discussion about this one is not okay. Doing so is a cross-wiki problem, and can get you globally banned.

Admins decide on local blocks. Even if the reason for blocking is bad or there is no reason. The community can decide to demote an admin who bans badly, but staff won't ban for that reason.

The kind of rant that started the THELEGENDGIANTDAD demotion thread is not okay. It was abusive and offensive, and broke the Terms of Use. We don't object to a bit of bad language, what you tolerate is generally up to you as a community. But the level there, and the attacks in the post, put it way over the line.

I'll warn you too that you can get banned for obscene fanon and using racial/homophobic slurs (even "gay" if it's as an attack). I havren't checked pages here, but if there are any, they need to be cleaned up.

As for the drama, it's time to clean that up too. I don't want staff to be dragged here again. So either sort it out together, or learn to get along calmly.

This has been an unusually harsh post from me, I don't like to stamp my feet. Especially as I know there are good people here. But this drama got way over the top and I don't want that to happen again.

I'm happy to answer any other points that need to be cleared up. Just post them here or on my wall (here or on Community Central)
