It's not really about hurt feelings, there are genuine assholes that are moderators of wikia sites. They get lulz undoing work people have contributed, some of which I'm sure took contributers quite a while to document/develop pages for. Even the people that try to "resolve" conflicts and revision wars often have a bias towards some individual because they have known them longer. In many wikia sites, there is basically an old boys network that will not put up with any changes they don't personally agree with. I got caught up in such a revision conflict, which ended up seeing my content and several others removed because the mod decided to get rid of all of it, and with no explanation or justification. These guys wouldn't even allow a link to an offsite page with the information that was going to be posted in the wikia site itself. There are just too many asshole mods on wikia gaming sites, so I gave up contribution altogether, but I still occasionally visit some sites.
