Hi Wallaceheros.

Sometimes people are mean, and there's not always a lot that can be done about that. But the best way you can help reduce it is with your own actions. That means not being mean yourself - even in reply to their meanness, and often means not reacting to their bad behavior at all! There's advice on this at on this blog post and this one.

A calm and polite reaction (or none at all) is best. That helps stop the situation getting worse, and makes sure that your reputation stays good :)

And reputation is important on wikis. If you edit well, and do good things for the wiki, that can help in your relationships with other users. For example, I notice you don't edit very much on the articles on Dragon Ball (almost all your edits are on talk pages) - perhaps you could consider getting involved in improving articles too.

In one way, users are equal to each other. Everyone has a chance on wikis to be a good and respected member of the community. In another way, they aren't. Those who do good things, and are known by other users as sensible, helpful, and long-standing members of the community, are generally those the community will look to when decisions need to be made :)
