This rule was basically written down because the users who constantly insult, troll, and disrespect the admins forced the latter to write down this rule. We do not ban a user who insulted an admin for an indefinite period of time, but should that insult be quite severe then we will make it extensive. And we did in fact set up a rule for Pointsgaming, the issue is that people simply refuse to obey the Terms of Service, not bother to look at it, and yet when they do they remain to disobey. We are only trying to keep the Slender Man wiki from not falling apart and prevent any mayhem that might occur. We do not ban that user instantanously, we speak to the latter diplomatically but if the user continues this misbehaviour we have no choice but to take action. The drama is not set up by the admins, it is only set up by users who refuse to listen. Again, you must be prepared to take it. As an admin at the Spinpasta Wiki, I've recieved hundreds, possibly thousands, of insults. Never once have I blocked for it unless it incited drama.

Making the rules strict encourages people to disobey. Making punishments harsh will also not increase your respect.

I'm not saying be so light it's ridiculous. I've been far from that. But I am simply saying to be careful with where you go on that part.
