You stated there are many problems with message walls. One thing I do (primarily on my wall) is to close the thread once the discussion is over and/or after a few weeks with no relevant posts. This prevents reviving them with nonsense.

State to them were they should post to start with and why this is the best place to do so. Based on your original post, it seems you don't mind randomness anywhere but previous discussions. You can also remove comments from previous threads that are off-topic to the original post.

Bottom line, if the wiki doesn't develop a clear policy first and have Admins that will enforce it, not much can be done to save the wiki. You need to make clear what's allowed and what's not. After you do so and no one is following it, issue short blocks to those that ignore the policy that seeks to improve the wiki.

The first step can be difficult, but personally, I would rather have no editors than many that don't care about improving the wiki. Infact before Zog, the only admin there now rediscovered the rules he'd written, I tried to create a page myself and that same idiot who said the things 452 responded to removed it and asked for me to ask the community, which I did, and now today.

Because I seem to be the only one with the sensibility to understand how going off-topic on message walls on things, closing threads would spark the hilter naming again.

I stated to them several times the options I mentioned. I mentioned to them our 5 options every single time and they continued to ignore me.

Well I'm the only one who was caring about it and that made me look like Hitler to them. I don't know what else I can say. Nobody else was willing to care about this maturity thing who was an admin. Zog, the guy who wrote the wiki rules also condones this childish behaviour as well, which is awfully sad.

The blocks would once again follow the path of the threads. People would be calling me Hitler again.

Well sadly it seems the latter is editing that wiki.
