It is sad to see that Wikia is claiming the internet to be a free and open place, but ends up blocking anyone's account and silencing them if they threaten to take away their traffic.

What we are asking over at the Voltz team is to merely have a central location with all the information necessary. That's what the idea of a wiki is all about. This idea however falls apart when there is another wiki, encompassing the same topic but ends up being inferior. Why build a house from scratch when you can build on top of an existing one? This is simply common sense.

I hate to be doing this, but it appears to be that the only way to grasp the attention is the threat of legal action. Voltz is the intellectual property of the respective authors. The same applies to the documentation of the mod pack on the official Voltz Wiki at Voltz wiki.com. There is blatant copying of information occurring, as well as copyrighted are being used.

Furthermore, ads are being placed next to this copyrighted content, with Wikia monetising off of the property of the mod developers, which is strictly disallowed within the license of the mods.

A simple query to the sysop of a wiki about closing the wiki down should not be considered as spam and a formal request for the user Mastergalen to be unbanned is in order.

Again, we would prefer to solve this dispute with the admins of the wiki itself, as they are Voltz players themselves and would respect the decision of the mod developers more. It would be regrettable to escalate this dispute unnecessarily.
