User blog comment:Burnit!/Why you shall never use Thomas Wikia Chat now/@comment-3317456-20140715180736

The reason we do this is because our Wikia is a target for spammers and trolls. Several users (Including the infamous Sid) make accounts to get around bans. I will admit we are a bit harsh on new users, but that's because we are always a bit weary since so many spammers and trolls come to poke fun at us. It's ridiculous.
