Board Thread:Support Requests - Community Management/@comment-27890048-20160304222645

Hello. I've recently had a dispute with 2 of the admins. Though their language was weird at best (even though clearly intended as insulting to me) I always responded using arguments. The only possible insult given to one of them was that he was being a dick, which is my way of saying he was abusing his power and being wrong.



Daryl has given me this block:

The block was made by User:.

Reason given: you have nothing to contribute here but vitriol. directly insulted 2 staff for no reason and ignored any warning you were given. you played victim over and over because you're mad over a slightly altered edit. pathetic

Start of block: 21:35, March 4, 2016

Expiry of block: infinity

Intended blockee:

Block ID: #4953

Current IP address: 188.173.103.29





I thought the wikia rules clearly stated the following:



What can Administrators not do?

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be use to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The entire discussion escalated from the help I offered to give considering information was missing or incomplete in the Daegon Current timeline section and very incorrect in the Mortal Kombat Storyline section. You can read it here:

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">I was then invited to a private discussion where I'm not even allowed to talk ;)))) Daryl opens and closes the thread at will, writing whatever he wants, cursing and threatening to block me (which he even did ;)) ). If I wanted to contribute to this wikia and provided reasons for why they were wrong deleting my contributions, are they allowed to do whatever they want? Yes, I am a fan of some characters and I'm happy when my favourite characters are featured in Mortal Kombat media. Daryl even insulted Mortal Kombat characters on the discussion another member set up, thinking that I should feel ashamed for having a favourite character ;)))))

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Aren't we all actually fans of the Mortal Kombat series? Don't we all want the information in this wikia to be accurate?

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Well, if someone does read this, I hope you'll see that there are some unjust things happening here. Thanks for the help <ac_metadata title="Administrators being unfair and abusing their powers"> </ac_metadata>
