Also, I hate some of the rules. They make it seem like this is a kiddy playground. "No put downs or bad words! WAAAH!". This site is 13+, and I don't know any kid over 13 who doesn't curse.

This one isn't about wikia, but more about the people who use it. I hate those guys who think they're all amazing because they have a high edit count or have admin status. Like seriously, nobody cares. The new topbar is a move in the right direction, if they must have a topbar that is (A host is a host and should not put its name over the top of the communities hosted on it IMO). Seriously, gradients are so past it and the amount of CSS used to implement them is ridiculous. The flat design is a trend across the whole of the w3 and Wikia are simply following it.

To be fair, the age restriction was to keep Wikia safe from the COPPA rules. While an independant wiki can get away without it, Wikia probably can't. But Wikia are still targeting viewers under the age of 13, they just can't create an account yet. Thus the restrictions on "bad words".
