Well have you asked these fans what they think about what you're doing? Sorry, but the Avatar Wiki is as much a forum of the fandom as it is an encyclopedia, and it always has been. And why that's suddenly such a huge deal now is a mystery to me. It wasn't for the past several years, so where was it decided in the past year that it's a serious problem?

Well how do I know the forums won't get axed someday? I'm forced to wonder if they eventually will be since it's gone this far, and not every wiki has done what this wiki is doing. If you axe the forums someday, your site traffic will taper off quite a bit, if you limit it to only editing someday, then when there's little to no editing to be done, the site will fall into disuse during those time periods. Think the dry spell we had between the two series or even between ATLA and the movie. Wasn't much to do back then other than converse.

Nobody is useless, Lady Lostris. And I disagree with selective policy like that. Where you pick out the "useful" from the "useless", what happened to just rooting out trolling users who's only purpose is to stir up trouble? I think if this goes too far and God forbid the forums should ever come under fire later, this could backfire. Why all of this is such a huge problem now when it was not before this year is again baffling to me. I'm sorry but I must respectfully disagree with the extremity of this aim.
