Okay, so I noticed the whole "season 3" situation, and knew that this was not the first time that something like this has happened. At the time, when I was scrolling through the wiki activity, I was about to report it, when I was told I had to go. >_< Well, that's aside the point. Let me expand on this more.

So, when I got back (like 20 minutes ago), I noticed that it had been reported, but also that the fighting had been going on for some time. And, the fact that it had taken that long to handle the situation is kind of...bad (not the exact word I was looking for, but oh well, let's go with that). But, okay. Not to be offend you guys (as in the admins), but you guys need to be on more often... It's just, with so much going on, something has to be done. At least one of you should come on at least once a day just to check up on the wiki, just in case anything major happens. I know that you're all probably busy and such, and trust me, I was once there - to the point where I had left the wiki (if any of you happen to remember :P), but I learned how to time manage and was able to make a return. I mean, so much goes on in my life, but even through all of that, I make time just to come on here. Even if it's not for long.

Your job is to help keep the wiki in shape, as us users are to help you with that too, but you guys are like the...police officers, or something (don't judge, it was the best similie I could come up with :P) and we, are like the citizens. While us citizens will step up to help, we really need you guys here to still help out. You're the ones with the power around here, so the 4 of you need to somehow make just a little bit of time to come on. I mean, maybe, like, a half hour of one of you going around the wiki making sure everything is all right should be just enough. More would be great, of course.

But, yeah. I was also thinking...as much as I don't really like this suggestion (and yes, raurauslly, I know you told me about this too) - closing off the commenting sections. I remember a year ago how on the Auslly page that my friends and I got caught up in the irrelevant comments, and luckily, Bobbie came up with the idea of the Talk Like Crazy! blog page, to which it worked out, and still does, work wonderfully to this very day. Though for some reason, it seems like telling the newer users about other places to talk and keep from going irrelevant does not seem to work quite as well. I know at one point a while ago, there was this little pop up thing on the wiki, saying to review the discussion policies, but honestly, that wasn't enough. Reminders and warnings may not always work, as well as temporary blocks too - which is why I'm making this suggestion (and also giving credit to raurauslly because she told me about it [I hope you reply to this discussion soon, 'cause if not, then this is awkward :P]). I mean, right now, it may be because I'm tired and should go to bed soon, but I cannot think of another option.

Sorry about the rant. It's just, this is a great wiki and I love being on here, but I'd hate to watch it go downhill.
