Forum:Taking the flak

Okay, some of you may know that I got into a little argument with an editor last week about the deletion of blogs. The result of it was that I was told to send a comment on the original blog explaining to an editor why it was tagged for deletion (It wasnt even me who tagged it). I did so, and I explained how it was off topic. This morning, I recieved a message on my talk page. The user felt I was leturing them and that it was unfair that I was deleting their blog. They've now deleted it themselves.

Why on earth should I take the flak for this? It's a policy we all follow to keep this wiki clean.

 * This kind of thing comes up on WoWWiki from time to time. Make sure you have a policy for changing policy in a democratic fashion and you can point the user to the policy changing policy process. When a user doesn't like me following policy, I usually say something like, "There is a process for changing policy. If you don't like the current policy, try to change it or at least give a good argument why it shouldn't apply in this case or why you should be an exception. Without any of those actions, you don't get to be treated as a special case." -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 24 May 2011 1:26 PM Pacific
