User blog comment:Dr3amyDr3amyWa1fu NODD/Something needs to be discussed about/@comment-9026519-20160414084712

"So I was just minding my own business, then I saw my notifications. Crystal applied for Content moderator, I saw some people opposing, ONLY because of their opinions about her." You realize people supported for the exact same reason? Why are you only calling out those who opposed? I call this a biased blog as it's entirely written based on... opinions. ;^)

"Guys, let me get this straight, it's at least good to decide whether or not to support or oppose. If you want to, then state a good and valid reason" Got no complaints here.

"Opinions have NOTHING to do with applying for staff," They shouldn't. Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way.

^ That's just my opinion on the blog lol. Lets get down to the dirty stuff shall we?

"When someone applies for staff, please don't state your opinion on them if you oppose."

Lets start with this: an admin of this wiki not only needs to qualify, but needs to be seen as fit by the people. To be seen as fit, you need an opinion. Not only this, but if a user mistreats someone, whose to say they won't do that as well while in power? Of course, not liking someone for doing this is logical, but it's also opinionated.

Let me also put it this way: If opinions weren't allowed, then we honestly wouldn't be able to properly vote.

If someone is bad enough to possibly lose a promotion because people don't like them, then it's probably their fault. Look, if you get enough people to dislike you that you promotion goes into the dumps, you honestly don't deserve the position (not saying crystals is that bad).

Overall, opinions are an important part of not only democracy, but making sure someone fit gets into office. It's not just about the qualifications, it's about their actions. Major political votes are also often determined partially by opinion. You can have an opinion on their actions. An opinion on the person. An opinion on their qualifications. To not allow opinions in a forum that is partially based on a persons charismatic capability  is outrageous.
