''    Unofficial response: (Please wait for an official response by a staff member) Hello. I can guarantee you that your adoption request will be declined if you do not edit on the wiki. Contributing to the wiki's content by editing and creating new pages is one of the most important criteria for adoption. If you start editing now and make an edit every day then by the time Wikia staff come to review this request you should met the requirements for adoption. --LêgêndFPŠ wall edits 03:09, December 20, 2015 (UTC)''

While I do appreciate your reply, I'd have preferred it if I was not told that my adoption request is "guaranteed to be declined" by a member that is not part of wikia staff. I do not believe that members of this site, members without administrative rights that is, should have the right to tell someone that their request is guaranteed to be declined; that should be left up to a staff member.

'''Now, onto my issue with the adoption guidelines and why I will not edit that wikia:      *Are you contributing to the wikia's content?*' - You have edited on the wikia for at least a weak (the more the better) - You have created at least one new page (the more the better) - You are currently editing the wikia *Are you building the community?* - You make an effort to talk to other users -- you've left friendly and encouraging messages on user talk pages and responded to questions on article talk pages, forums, or blogs. - You keep the wikia looking well-tended and up to date -- update news sections, add new pictures and videos related to the topic, etc.''

While I do know that meeting this criteria is important and would be fairly easy to accomplish, however, for a wikia that has been inactive since December 3rd of 2013, meeting these requirements makes no logical sense whatsoever. I believe that these specific guidelines should be applied to wikias that have active members, but, they should not be applied to a wikia that has been inactive for a long period of time.

Honestly, would it not be easier for a wikia staff member to allow adoption rights to someone if the wikia in question has been inactive for a long period of time? Now, if the wikian is committed and wants the wiki enough to requeset adoption, why keep that from them (at least for a wikia that, quite literally, has been abadoned)?
