Forum:How do we respect others point of view on a central wiki

I ask this question since this is a central point in which all wikis come for answers. The solution is mostly code to give crats, admins, and users to use on thier wiki. The smarter ones search for answers to questions that are close to what they seek. The more bold ones (who actually ask questions) are the ones who get beat down because they don't know the answer.

The biggest problem is that the ones that have the knowledge do not and will not emphasize with what a wiki might be going through. Instead a judgement can be made. Even though the actual question might be answered, it can be answered in such a sarcastic form that people will not really want to participate in this community central.

Is this what we really want as a community? The prime example is here. Are we to really treat others that come to this community asking for help in such a way? Or can we say as a community that this is sarcastic vandalism?

I for one do not think that we should treat those that come to this community asking for help in such a manner.

This is just my opinion, and I would like to hear what the community thinks about disrespecting wikis that could be considered vandalism. 13:39, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your point, especially with the link to the forum you referenced. The user who answered gave an example template in reply, he didn't say anyting that would imply sarcasm in my mind. --  Random Time  13:58, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Best, the user likely used 'Blah blah' as a placeholder for where text should be inserted. -- BobNewbie  ∞(Talk)∞  14:12, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

I would have taken offense at the bla bla bla bla bla bla BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA bla bla bla bla bla BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA More BLA BLA BLA remark, maybe it is just a standard on this wiki to do that, I have no idea. Either way, it is not a good thing to negate what someone is trying to say. If it is standard practice then I would not call it vandalism, however, I would at least make you think why it IS standard practice. 14:15, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Edit conflict: Bob, I realize that now, however, it might not be the best way to greet someone. 14:15, June 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * "You mean something like this?" doesn't seem like a rude, sarcastic or unkind greeting at all. BobNewbie   ∞(Talk)∞  14:19, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the "blah blah blah" made it very clear that it was "filler text" - I have no idea why you'd think that using something like that would be considered vandalism --  Random Time  14:20, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
