We're not against the wiki. We're against how staff handles their positions. Kind of a big difference there. A lot of what goes on is too restrictive and against the spirit of what a wiki is, that being an open, welcoming environment where everyone is free to edit. I understand that there's bad eggs, they're everywhere really, but sometimes I feel there's better ways to go about solving a problem than what goes on currently, like adding even more restrictions as to what people are and aren't allowed to do, being ban-happy and what ever else. People make mistakes during editing too, it's not always intentional, and rather than vilifying them for it, more efforts should be made to educate people as to the proper ways for editing. Honestly? I didn't know much at all about wiki editing when I first joined. I HAD edited on a wiki before, but nothing more than simple text changes, because anything more than that seemed too intimidating. And I'm sure a lot of people feel like way. Some people are just interested in getting a reaction from someone, and it sucks |8 But really the best thing to do is just fix it and move on, and help those that genuinely want to contribute.
