So, you guys have a similar rule system to us, but how often do you use it? Do you block users often? Our staff is a little on the stricter side and some users are very mad at us. I wanted to know how you guys role so we can model after you guys. I've visited your wiki multiple times and you seem to have a very good community. How do you guys pull that off?

Thanks a lot,

I don't think Jessie1010 will reply anytime soon, that's why I decided to answer in his place.

I believe I'm the one who has executed the majority of blocks on the wiki. I somewhat agree with what Scared has stated previously, because I've seen how a user has been blocked just because they dislike certain content from the wiki and they expressed it. As far as I'm concerned, I haven't blocked anyone because of that, (and if it seems as I have done that; right hand to God, I've done it based on our policies). Sadly, I cannot unblock them just for the sake of doing it, because I have been blackmailed to unlock their accounts in order to avoid getting my own account deactivated by Wikia, thing that I find pretty foolish.

The majority of problems this wiki has faced during the last couple of months is related to accounts that come to the wiki to talk poorly about male users; calling them different names that are totally inappropriate. In other words, there have been users who come here just to defame others and to add inappropriate content on certain articles. There's where I disagree with Scared, because defamation is inappropriate, plus, our policies are pretty clear about the usage of inappropriate terms to address others. With that being said, that's the reason why I have blocked many users from the wiki, as I previously mentioned.

We are where we are because of all the actions we have done, and so far, the only account I have seen around here that claims to be someone who's scared to come here with their main account is Scared to use my real account. I might be wrong about this statement, but in order to make a conclusion about how a wiki is ran, I think both sides of the story should be taken into account.

Thank you so much for considering our community as a model to yours. Although people might have different perspectives of what you stated, I hope you guys can achieve whatever you've set as goals for your wiki!
